Abstract

1. INTRODUCTION
Pneumonia is a common infection that occurs in all ages, in any type of patient and at the community or hospital level. Community-originating pneumonia affects patients with comorbidities and at the extremes
of life. Mortality from community pneumonia remains high, health systems must implement strategies to quickly diagnose and treat these patients. When a patient with community pneumonia is admitted to any hospital emergency, their condition must be categorized so that they receive the best possible treatment.
The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) participates in the detection of patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia, with the objective of prioritizing their care to achieve management goals as quickly as possible and reduce the mortality of these patients.
