Abstract
Objective: To characterize the clinical-epidemiological profile of patients admitted to the adult intensive care unit of a teaching hospital.
Method: Descriptive epidemiological study, with a quantitative approach, cross-sectional and retrospective nature. The research was carried out at the teaching hospital, in an adult intensive care unit between January and December 2021.
Results: 153 people were hospitalized. There was a predominance of males (68.6%). The average age was 53 years (standard deviation=20). Regarding the municipality of residence, Maringá predominated (39.9%). The average length of stay was 17 days (median=11; standard deviation=18). Regarding the primary cause of admission, it was noted that the most frequent causes were trauma (14.4%). Regarding the outcome of hospitalization, although the majority of participants were discharged from the sector (58.8%), there was an important proportion who died (37.3%).
Conclusion: Predominance of males, with an average age of 53 years, from the city of Maringá, hospitalized for around 17 days due to trauma and/or fractures, which required intubation and without vasoactive drugs and hemodialysis, with a more rise in the sector is frequent, although the mortality rate was 37%, raising a warning for managers.
