• Abstract:

  Introduction COVID-19 is an infectious disease discovered in December 2019, caused by SARSCoV-2, which is part of the Coronavirus family of viruses. Mechanical Ventilation is a ventilatory support used mainly to treat acute respiratory failure in patients with pulmonary complications. Objectives To analyze the protocols of mechanical ventilatory assistance in patients with COVID-19, in addition to detailing protective mechanical ventilation; to verify which parameters are used in mechanical ventilatory assistance in patients with COVID-19 and to identify which ventilatory protocol is most cited in the literature. Methodology it was an integrative literature review, searching through the following databases: SciELO; LILACS, ScienceDirect; MEDLINE; guidelines; recommendations and protocols of health-related institutions, with the descriptors: COVID-19; Clinical Protocols; Mechanical Fans, 555 articles were found, selecting 7, through two screenings, for the explanation of the results. Results showed that the presence of hypoxemia is characteristic of both COVID-19 and ARDS, however, they may have different characteristics depending on the phenotype found. It was also observed that protective mechanical ventilation must be used in IMV, introducing the following parameters: VT at 6ml/kg; driving pressure < 15 cm/H2O; PEEP to the point of reducing PD, and maintaining PaO2 > 60 cm/H2O with FIO2 ≤ 60% to avoid lung injury. Conclusion It is therefore concluded that protective ventilation is essential for good results for patients diagnosed with COVID-19, and it is necessary to have knowledge about the subject and the patient's clinic to obtain positive results.
