Keywords:
Intensive Care Units, Nursing, COVID-19Abstract
Objective: to describe the clinical profile, main laboratory and hemodynamic changes among patients with Covid-19 admitted to the intensive care unit of a university hospital in the region of Campos Gerais - Paraná. Method: This is a historical cohort. The sample consisted of medical records of patients admitted to the intensive care unit whose Polymerase Chain Reaction test result was positive for Covid-19. The clinical picture was analyzed for 10 days from admission to the unit. Data collection was obtained through access to the electronic medical record. The study was approved by a Research Ethics Committee. Results: There was a predominance of male patients aged from 48 to 57 years. The use of mechanical ventilation stands out, with a PaO2 FiO2 ratio lower than 200, characterized as acute respiratory distress syndrome. Conclusion: The characterization of the clinical profile contributed to the understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease and discussion with similar studies.
