Aim: to assess adherence of health professionals from intensive care units concerning the preventive measures of ventilation associated to pneumonia implemented in the hospital. Method: descriptive, quantitative and observational study, developed with 130 patients on mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours, resulting in 481 observations, conducted at a university hospital in Recife city from february to april 2014. Results: results revealed substandard care and patient exposure to hazards, since only 35.38% of the patients, completely joined the ventilation associated to pneumonia prevention protocol. Sedation interruption and oral hygiene are the interventions that showed the lowest line index, 70.06% and 48.86% respectively. Final Remarks: quality care reflects in the reduction of pneumonia cases associated to mechanical ventilation and patient safety, therefore it requires multidisciplinary education and periodic lectures
