Abstract
Objectives: to analyze the profile and clinical outcomes of patients who developed Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) in private home care and to compare the incidence with national data.
Methods: this was a retrospective study with data collected from July 2021 to June 2022 from patient records at a private clinic. Patients using intermittent ventilation or without ventilatory support were excluded.
Results: the utilization rate of mechanical ventilation was 15.9%. The incidence density of pneumonia in pediatrics was 2.2 cases per 1000 ventilation-days and in adults was 1.7 cases per 1000 ventilation-days, figures lower than those reported by the National Health Surveillance Agency. There were 101 episodes of pneumonia in 73 patients, predominantly male (65.8%), adults (53.4%), and those with neurological diseases (57.5%). The treatment regimen predominantly took place at home (80.2%), and there was one death.
Conclusions: patients in home care showed a low incidence and mortality rate from ventilator-associated pneumonia.

The Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem created in 1932, March 20 is the official publication of the Associação Brasileira de Enfermagem (Brazilian Nursing Association) has as purpose to disseminate the scientific production from different nursing interest areas of knowledge, including those which express the political project of the Association. The Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem is the oldest journal of the Brazilian nursing.
