Abstract

According to Ordinance N.551-2005, critical patients are those with imbalance of one or more major physiological systems, with loss of their self-regulation, but potentially reversible. The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is an inpatient service for critically ill patients requiring permanent attention, with its own staff and specialized technical and professional staff, specific equipment and technologies for diagnosis and treatment [1]. This technological development is associated with the increased use of Mechanical Ventilation (MV) and intensive care, which increase the survival of critically ill patients. However, the long period of hospitalization, end up providing greater inactivity of patients, which may trigger limitations and dysfunctions of their organs and systems [2].
