Brief summary

Pulmonary auscultation is a important assessment tool in respiratory care. To assess the level of agreement is necessery. The hypothesis is that the way that the ventilator is setting can interfere in the result.

Interventions

Methods: twenty-three patients submitted to artificial ventilation were investigated in the Intensive Care Unit. Three Respiratory Physiotherapists performed the auscultation at three distinct times , regarding the ventilator adjustment (tidal volume 8ml/k8 and 20ml/kg and flow 40l/mim and 80l/mim ), however in a row in the same moment.
