- Abstract
Describe a new way of bathing in bed in intensive care patients and analyze the cost of this technology. Descriptive, prospective, cost assessment study. Convenience sample of 18 patients in the immediate postoperative period of cardiac surgery, with data collection within 72 h after surgery. In this technique, a vial of distilled water heated in a microwave oven is used. The bottle is pierced with a hypodermic needle and used to spray the patient before and after being soaped, simulating a portable shower. The average bath time was 30.17 ± 12.24 minutes and the identified cost was R $ 25.19 (US $ 4.99). This type of bath has a lower cost than the traditional bed bath in intensive care patients, contributing to cost management.
