ABSTRACT | OBJECTIVE: To verify the prevalence of infection, sepsis and septic shock and factors associated with these conditions in patients admitted to an Adult ICU of a hospital in the interior of Brazil. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Cross-sectional, retrospective and documentary study, in an Adult ICU in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Sample of 259 medical records from 2016 to 2018. Data collection using a structured instrument and descriptive and multivariable analyses. RESULTS: It was shown that 19.3% of patients had infection, 17% had sepsis and 10.8% had septic shock. Most women (59.1%), between 51 and 64 years old (27.3%), with hypertension (36.4%) and diabetes (26.1%). 96.6% received antibiotic therapy, but only 50% collected cultures. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of the sepsis continuum in the ICU was 33.9%; and the associated factors are the use of enteral tubes, central venous catheters, mechanical ventilation and cardiology and pulmonology specialties.
