    Hand grip strength and weaning from Mecanical Ventilation in COVID-19 patients in a hospital in Lima 2023
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-07-04) Venegas Campos, Miriam Isabel; Cautín Martinez, Noemi Esther
    Following COVID-19, the most severe patients were placed on mechanical ventilation (MV), which, combined with sedatives and muscle relaxants, led to prolonged MV stays and weakness associated with ICU (DAUCI). Manual strength, measured using a dynamometer, helps identify this weakness and associate it with the success or failure of weaning from mechanical ventilation through quantifiable indicators. Objective: To determine the relationship between manual grip strength and mechanical ventilation weaning in COVID-19 patients. Materials and methods: Clinical records of patients who were on MV in the ICU will be used. A hypothetical-deductive method with a quantitative approach, and a correlational, observational, analytical, and retrospective design will be employed.
