Abstract
O monitoramento de indicadores assistenciais é fundamental para qualificar a atuação fisioterapêutica em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTIs), especialmente diante da complexidade clínica dos pacientes críticos. Trata-se de um estudo observacional retrospectivo que analisou os indicadores de qualidade relacionados à fisioterapia em quatro UTIs de um hospital universitário, entre março e dezembro de 2024. Foram avaliadas variáveis clínicas, ventilatórias e funcionais, incluindo escore SOFA, tempo de internamento, incidência de pneumonia associada à ventilação mecânica (PAV), taxas de sucesso e falha de extubação, tempo até sedestação e ortostatismo, além da perda de funcionalidade na alta pelo escore JH-HLM. A amostra foi composta por 1.417 pacientes, com média de idade de 58,7 anos e predominância do sexo masculino (56,4%). Observou-se heterogeneidade entre as UTIs avaliadas, especialmente quanto ao tempo de internamento, gravidade clínica e desempenho funcional. A taxa global de sucesso de extubação foi de 88,1%, e a incidência de perda funcional na alta foi de 7,4%. Apesar da mediana favorável para início da sedestação e ortostatismo (3 dias), 22,6% e 47,8% dos pacientes, respectivamente, não alcançaram essas etapas, destacando barreiras assistenciais e estruturais. Os achados reforçam a importância de indicadores bem definidos para direcionar práticas baseadas em evidências, padronizar condutas e aprimorar a qualidade da assistência fisioterapêutica em terapia intensiva.
Monitoring care indicators is essential to qualify physiotherapeutic performance in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), especially given the clinical complexity of critically ill patients. This retrospective observational study analyzed physiotherapy-related quality indicators in four ICUs of a university hospital between March and December 2024. Clinical, ventilatory, and functional variables were evaluated, including SOFA score, length of stay, incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), extubation success and failure rates, time to achieve sitting and standing, and functional loss at discharge measured by the JH-HLM score. The sample consisted of 1,417 patients, with a mean age of 58,7 years and a predominance of males (56,4%). Heterogeneity was observed among the assessed ICUs, particularly regarding length of stay, clinical severity, and functional performance. The overall extubation success rate was 88,1%, and the incidence of functional decline at discharge was 7,4%. Despite a favorable median time to initiate sitting and standing (3 days), 22,6% and 47,8% of patients, respectively, did not reach these milestones, highlighting structural and care-related barriers. The findings reinforce the importance of well-defined indicators to guide evidence-based practices, standardize procedures, and enhance the quality of physiotherapeutic care in intensive care settings.
