Abstract

Objective: to identify the impact of rehabilitation nursing interventions on early weaning of people undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. Method: a descriptive and cross-sectional pilot study applied to persons undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation in an accidental sample of five people. Modified Borg Scale, Glasgow Coma Scale and Pain Scale were used. Results: through the interventions included in the early rehabilitation program, there was an improvement in the dyspnea index, with a direct relation to the success rate in weaning the person undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. Conclusion: the patients included in this study underwent an effective ventilatory weaning process and the extubation procedure was successfully performed, being transferred from the Intensive Care Unit to their destination inpatient services, no need for mechanical ventilatory support. The most significant gains in respiratory function were the gains in symptomatic pain control and level of consciousness.
