Objective:
To analyze the survival rate of adult patients who underwent bronchoaspiration while hospitalized in a public university hospital with oncology care characteristics.
Methods:
A 12-month retrospective longitudinal study was carried out using bronchoaspiration risk management and event notification analysis forms filled out in the medical records of patients admitted to this hospital.
Results:
The 34 patients who presented the adverse event of bronchoaspiration had their survival rate reduced by 30% in the first month, and only 29.6% of them survived the second month post-event. Women were more vulnerable to clinical complications originating from the general health status decline as well as to acute pulmonary complications arising from sepsis, consequently presenting a greater reduction in survival.
Conclusion:
Bronchoaspiration events corroborate an abrupt decrease in patient survival.
Level Of Evidence:
Level III.
