Introduction: Patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection developed acute respiratory distress syndrome and required mechanical ventilation treatment in intensive care units. Furthermore, critically ill patients have a higher risk of developing nosocomial infections, which increases their morbidity and mortality. Objectives: Determine the frequency of healthcare-associated infections before and after the COVID-19 pandemic in patients with mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit from Lima, Peru. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study. Results: The frequency of healthcare-associated infections in the pre-COVID-19 group was 8.7%, while 31.2% in the COVID-19 group. Gram negative bacteria were the most frequently isolated in both groups. Ventilator-associated pneumonia was the most common nosocomial infection in both groups. In the pre-COVID-19 group, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (33.2%) was the most frequently isolated bacteria, whereas in the COVID-19 group, Acinetobacter baumannii (35.7%) was predominant, showing 91.3% resistant to carbapenems. Conclusions: The frequency of healthcare-associated infections was higher in the COVID-19 group being ventilator-associated pneumonia the most frequent infection. During the pandemic, an increase in carbapenem resistance was observed.
