Abstract: Introduction: hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is a serious infection that appears after 48 hours of hospital admission, with high morbidity and mortality in intensive care units (ICU). Data collection was performed through clinical records. to characterize the behavior of hospital-acquired pneumonia in intensive care patients. Method: an analytical, observational, retrospective study was conducted; the study variable is longitudinal. Data collection was performed through clinical records. 14 patients with relevant data were included, as well as PubMed bibliography from the last 5 years. The findings highlight the need for rapid diagnostic methods and new antibiotics due to microbial resistance. The aim is to understand the risk factors and optimize the management of HAP in critically ill patients. the combination of bibliographic data and patient analysis highlights the complexity of HAP and underlines critical areas for future research. The development of rapid diagnostic methods, new antibiotics, and a better understanding of comorbidities could significantly improve management and outcomes for patients. With the integration of new technologies and personalized approaches, it is possible to optimize the prevention and treatment of this serious condition
