Resumo
SOTO-RODRIGUEZ, Anxela et al. Analysis of the activity of the intermediate respiratory monitoring unit in the context of a pandemic. Index Enferm [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.3, e14349. Epub 04-Mar-2024. ISSN 1699-5988. https://dx.doi.org/10.58807/indexenferm20236169.
Objective:
To describe the activity and care load of a respiratory intermediate monitoring unit (UMIR) in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the characteristics of the patients admitted to it.
Methods:
Prospective and observational study between January and December 2021. Characteristics of the patient, characteristics of their admission and the care burden measured through the TISS-28 scale were evaluated.
Results:
127 patients were admitted. The mean age was 69.52 ± 11.61 years, and the vast majority were men. Main cause of admission was acute respiratory failure. The mean score on the TISS-28 scale was 21.59 ± 2.37.
Conclusion:
The UMIR proved to be a good hospital resource to respond to the needs of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as reduce the average stay in other more specialized services. The existing high care burden must be taken into account.
