| Popis: | Objective: to identify the prevalent neurological damage in patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit and their relationship with social and clinical characteristics, care, and clinical outcome. Method: cross-sectional study with analysis of 83 medical records of patients with neurological damage and hospitalized in the period from 2016 to 2018. Results: predominance of Hemorrhagic Stroke (55.4%). Traumatic Brain Injury affected only men (16.9%). Systemic Arterial Hypertension was the main comorbidity evidenced (51.8%). Altered muscle strength was the main sign of severe neurological damage (36.2%). Analgesia prevailed among intensive care dedicated to patients with severe neurological damage (95.1%). Death as clinical outcome predominated (85.6%). Conclusion: Hemorrhagic stroke predominates, especially in women. Analgesia is the main care evidenced, and the mortality rate was higher than the rates found in the literature. |
