Introduction. In our environment patients who require mechanical ventilation are in areas where most of the time there is no specialist in intensive care, many patients are the responsibility of medical residents. The objective of this research was to validate an instrument to Spanish to determine the level of knowledge among residents in mechanical ventilation. Subjects and methods. A pilot test was performed which included medical residents from different years of training in the areas of Anesthesiology, Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine, prior signed informed consent. We applied the questionnaire designed by Cox and translated from English into Spanish for validation. It was based on four clinical cases with 19 questions. Results. 81 questionnaires were applied, of whom 46% were Emergency medicine residents, 37% of Internal Medicine and 17% of Anesthesiology. Half of the residents were a first year. The minimum score was 4 and the maximum of 17. Sixty-five per cent of the residents did not reach a passing score, and only 4% with an adequate level of knowledge. Not detected difficulties in implementation and understanding of the test. Conclusions. The complexity of the test was acceptable and was most useful in medical residents in their final years of training. The instrument is useful to assess knowledge on mechanical ventilation in the Spanish version. Level of knowledge was low in our sample studied.
