Abstract

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a complex environment where patients remain bedridden, with consequences for all systems. This immobilization is often associated with pulmonary complications and the need for prolonged Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV), resulting in negative factors that affect the individual globally and, consequently, predispose him to longer hospitalization time (NOGUEIRA, 2020).
