ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: Sepse é considerada doença grave com alta mortalidade. O objetivo desse estudo foi determinar a incidência e evolução da sepse em pacientes críticos. MÉTODOS: Foi realizada vigilância prospectiva de sepse na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva de Adultos, de abril-dezembro de 2007. RESULTADOS: A frequência de pacientes/dia foi 442. Setenta e cinco (18,6 por cento) pacientes tinham sepse; destes, 72 por cento hospitalar. As taxas de sepse grave e choque séptico por paciente/dia foram 5,0 e 3,1, respectivamente. A mortalidade total foi 34,6 por cento. Sessenta e um por cento dos casos tinham diagnóstico microbiológico. CONCLUSÕES: A sepse apresentou-se numa frequência maior, do que a usualmente descrita na literatura.


INTRODUCTION: Sepsis is considered to be a severe disease with high mortality. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence and evolution of sepsis among critically ill patients. METHODS: Prospective surveillance of sepsis was performed in the adult intensive care unit, between April and December 2007. RESULTS: The patient frequency/day was 442. Seventy-five patients (18.6 percent) had sepsis and 72 percent of these cases were hospital-acquired. The rates of severe sepsis and septic shock per patient/day were 5.0 and 3.1, respectively. The total mortality was 34.6 percent and 61 percent of the cases had microbiological diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS: Sepsis presented with higher frequency than is usually described in the literature.
