Core Tip	The results show that the respiratory function is a prognostic measure, and is strongly associated with mortality. Low oxygen and low lung compliance during volume-controlled ventilation demonstrate this fact. Worsening of respiratory system resistance during pressure-controlled ventilation, associated with the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia, indicates the possibility of early diagnosis. Based on this assumption, this procedure should be performed routinely in the intensive care unit environment, providing the intensive care physician and the physiotherapist with additional prognosis and diagnosis variables, in addition to the clinical, laboratory and radiological data.
