 	abstract = "Pulmonary mechanical ventilators (VMP) are devices often used in intensive care units (ICU) for clinically critical patients. Any failure in this device may present a risk to patient safety and can provide temporary or permanent damage. Thus, it aimed to evaluate the data on the causes of failure of pulmonary mechanical ventilators in regional hospitals of Paraiba. This was a retrospective study, cross, documentary and descriptive, with quantitative approach. The survey was conducted in regional hospitals in the state of Paraiba. The sample was non probabilistic accessibility, consisting of 422 records and the universe consisted of repair records and preventive maintenance of pulmonary mechanical ventilators (VMP) filled between the years 2012-2016 of the hospitals in question. Categorization form of devices and structured argument: the following instruments for evaluation were used. Data were expressed descriptively as mean, standard deviation from the mean and percentage. Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM-SPSS version 20.0 program. This study was submitted to the Ethics Committee of the Paraíba State University under number 54007116.9.0000.5187. The results of this research, was identified flaws in the VMP where battery problems, software, oxygen cell calibration, keyboard, display and valves were the most frequent. After the failure analysis, it was found that mechanical complications that interfere with the inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) are directly related to non-supply of gas (n = 18), leaks (n = 18), failure to cycling (n = 30), electronic part (n = 25), among others. Administrative problems such as underreporting and a data storage poorly were also found. The result of this research may provide insight for better risk management, development of care protocols, in a systemic link between possible signs of alerts and their needs administrative interventions with clinical engineering.",
