Pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation is the infection acquired in intensive care units in patients who are submitted to ventilatory support and ends up being a factor responsible for the increase in morbidity and mortality. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze factors predisposing to pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation in patients admitted to the ICU. It is a cross-sectional, exploratory and documentary field research, with a quantitative approach and a retrospective survey type. The research was carried out in the SAME (Medical and Statistical Archive Service) of a municipal hospital and took place in October 2020. In which the research population consisted of medical records of patients who were hospitalized in the ICU between the months of January to March . The sample was made in a non-probabilistic manner, for convenience, including medical records of patients who need invasive ventilatory support, of both genders; age over 18 years. To organize the information, the data collected in the medical records were registered in an electronic form, through the personalized Google Forms application previously consisting of a total of 15 questions. The sample consisted of two female patients with a mean age of 61 years and standard deviation ± 2.8, the length of hospital stay ranged from 15 to 45 days, mechanical ventilation ranged from 14 to 42 days totaling an average of 28 days mechanical ventilation. The result showed probable factors for pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation such as old age, invasive devices such as the presence of an artificial airway and nasoenteral tube, prolonged time of invasive ventilatory support and ICU stay.
