Item Herramienta para la Adquisición de Ventiladores Mecánicos en IPS Públicas(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Narváez Arteaga, Diego Fernando; Bermeo Varón, Leonardo AntonioCurrently the use of Mechanical Ventilation in patients has become more frequent due to the high rate of Respiratory Failure. Mechanical Ventilation is the procedure of temporary replacement of normal respiratory function, due to a pathological disorder, with the objective of overcoming the cause of respiratory failure and seeking to disconnect the patient from the ventilator in the improvement phase, once the acute phase has passed. The purpose of this project was to design a tool that would allow the evaluation of technology in mechanical ventilators in three different health care entities. Pilot tests were carried out at the Santa Sofía del Pacifico Clinic in Buenaventura, the María Ángel Clinic in Tuluá and the Isaías Duarte Cancino Hospital in Cali, for a period of three months between April and June 2018. The information for the design of the tool was extracted from manuals, suppliers and physiotherapists, evaluating the main characteristics of the needs and pathology of the patients. During the test process it was possible to check or verify the assessment and acceptance in the clinical field. Finally, the respective adjustments were made for the operation of the technology assessment and the selection program was the most adequate and functional, being accepted by the health care entities, offering them a free tool that would allow them to choose the best technology and cost-benefit relationship and in turn satisfying the needs of patients who require the support of Mechanical Ventilation with the appropriate technology for weaning or recovery.
