The item with the highest compliance was the daily assessment of sedation and reduction 81 (91.0%) whenever possible, followed by circuit changes every 7 days, 76 (82.6%). The maintenance of cuff pressure between 20- and 30-mm H2O was the item with the lowest compliance 22 (23.9%). Compliance with the complete set showed adherence in 20 (21.7%) of opportunities.
