Infections associated with invasive treatments are a health problem and increase morbidity and mortality. A descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study was carried out with the aim of analyzing infections associated with invasive treatments presented in intensive care patients at the Hospital. Dr. Napoleón Dávila Córdova, from May 2020 to April 2021. We worked with the information of 136 clinical histories, obtained from the epidemiological registry used by the hospital quality department, a data collection form was designed by the authors and it was deposited in a database to later be presented in tables of numbers and percentages. The results highlight that the prevalent germ was Xanthomonadaceae maltophilya present in 7 (5.1%) patients with mechanical ventilation, followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa present in 5 (3.6%) undergoing the same procedure, 74 patients were male ( 54.4%), with a slight predominance of those who presented some germ, the infections associated with invasive treatments were related to patients with Diabetes ellitus and Arterial Hypertension with 13 (9.5%) and 8 (5.8%) respectively. , among the risk factors, the number of days with a central venous catheter with more than 81 days stands out, in which 84 patients (61.7%) were. It is concluded that the designed tool allowed to classify the study population according to general data. The most predominant treatment-associated infections occurred in patients with mechanical ventilation, urinary catheter and with hypertension and diabetes. The risk factors were related to the variables studied.
