FUNCTIONAL IMPACT IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE BRAIN INJURY
Keywords
Abstract
Acute brain injury (ABI) affects about 100 million individuals annually, which interferes with the length of hospital stay of these individuals. The most visible complication of the hospital stay is ICU-acquired muscle weakness (FAUTI), which has a negative impact on functionality. The objective of this study was to observe the pattern of neurocritical individuals hospitalized in an adult intensive care unit, its relationship with the impact that the pathology has on strength and, respectively, on functionality. This is a cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive research, with a quantitative approach, 41 medical records of individuals who were admitted between January and December 2022 at Hospital Regional do Baixo Amazonas Dr. Waldemar Penna (HRBA) were analyzed. In the study, it was observed through the IMS scale that the sample obtained a prevalence of score 3 (sitting by the bedside) in 25 individuals (61.0%), indicating a low level of functionality. However, when the mobilization protocols were initiated, the clinical outcome for these patients was discharge from the unit, even with the delay in the beginning of mobilization.
