Sumario:Objective: To determine the knowledge of nursing staff regarding prevention measures for pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation and management of enteral feeding in patients admitted to the ICU of a public hospital. Methodology: descriptive, cross-sectional study. The sample was represented by intensive care nursing staff from a public hospital in Resistencia-Chaco (n=75), selected by non-probabilistic convenience sampling during the study period. A data collection instrument was designed with the variables under study. The bioethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki were respected. Results: Regarding the knowledge about standard precaution measures, it was observed that regarding the use of PPE in the care of ventilated patients, 48% of them presented regular knowledge, at the times of application of hand washing, 44% showed poor knowledge. Regarding the management of the endotracheal tube and mechanical ventilator, a fair level was observed in terms of knowledge about the correct fixation of the ETT (56%); about the management of the respirator and its connections (64%); management of humidifiers (60%) and replacement of circuits (64%), in contrast to Dos Santos8 and Granizo-Taboada, Wagner Thomas6 who revealed good nursing practices for maintaining oxygenation in patients under mechanical ventilation. Conclusion: It stands out in general lines, that the nursing staff presented regular knowledge, emphasizing the need for their training on the prevention measures of pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation.
