ABSTRACT

Introducción: La endoftalmitis postraumática se define como una marcada inflamación de los fluidos y tejidos de las cavidades intraoculares, provocada por la invasión y replicación de microorganismos después de un traumatismo ocular a globo abierto, lo cual puede ocasionar la pérdida de la visión. Objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad de la terapia antibiótica sistémica precoz en pacientes con endoftalmitis postraumática. Métodos: Se efectuó un estudio cuasiexperimental de 72 pacientes con traumatismo ocular a globo abierto, ingresados en el Centro Oftalmológico del Hospital General Docente Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero del 2017 hasta mayo del 2019. Se realizó un muestreo aleatorio simple; los pacientes se distribuyeron en 2 grupos: uno de control con 28 integrantes, a los cuales se le administró el tratamiento farmacológico habitual y otro de estudio con 44, quienes además de lo anterior recibieron terapia antibiótica sistémica. Resultados: Predominaron los pacientes masculinos, con edades entre 45 y 54 años (29,5 %); 72,7 % no mostraron antecedentes personales de interés y el trauma ocular ocurrió con más frecuencia en un ambiente rural (77,8 %). La zona 1 fue la más afectada (65,3 %); en 39,3 % de los pacientes la evolución del trauma fue menor de 6 horas, pero en el grupo que no recibió la terapéutica sistémica precoz y presentó endoftalmitis (10,7 %) este tiempo fue mayor, la reparación ocurrió tardíamente. Conclusiones: La terapia antibiótica sistémica precoz fue efectiva en la mayoría de los pacientes que recibieron este tratamiento contra la endoftalmitis postraumática.


Introduction: Postraumatic endophthalmitis is defined as a marked inflammation of the fluids and tissues of the intraocular cavities, caused by the invasion and replication of microorganisms after an ocular traumatism on open globe, that can cause loss of the vision. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the early systemic antibiotic therapy in patients with postraumatic endophthalmitis. Method: A quasi-experiment study of 72 patients with ocular traumatism on open globe was carried out, they were admitted in the Ophthalmologic Center of Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January, 2017 to May, 2019. A simple random sampling was carried out; patients were distributed in 2 groups: one of control with 28 members, that received the habitual pharmacological treatment and a study group with 44 members who received systemic antibiotic therapy besides the above-mentioned. Results: Male patients prevailed, aged between 45 and 54 years (29.5 %); 72.7 % didn't show personal history of interest and the ocular trauma happened with more frequency in a rural atmosphere (77.8 %). The area 1 was the most affected (65.3 %); in 39.3 % of the patients the clínical course of trauma was less than 6 hours, but in the group that didn't receive the early systemic therapy and presented endophthalmitis (10,7 %) this time was higher, the repair happened belatedly. Conclusions: The early systemic antibiotic therapy was effective in most of the patients that received this treatment against the postraumatic endophthalmitis.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS: We report our experience with day-surgery laparoscopic cholecystectomy and assess its feasibility and safety. METHODS: Data was collected on all the patients who underwent day-surgery laparoscopic cholecystectomy between February 2009 and February 2014 at Prince Sultan Military Medical City, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. All patients had symptomatic cholelithiasis that was proven on imaging studies with clearance of the common bile duct. The patient biographical data (age, gender, American Society of Anaesthesiology status, medical comorbidities) and surgical outcomes were then obtained. There was an evaluation of the success rate of day-surgery laparoscopic cholecystectomy, reasons for unexpected admission, and the re-admission rate. RESULTS: A total of 1,140 patients were included in this study. The success rate for day-surgery laparoscopic cholecystectomy was 96%. The reasons for unexpected hospital admission for 46 patients (4%) included persistent abdominal pain and postoperative emesis. The postoperative re-admission rate was 0.4% (5 patients). There were no major complications, and the conversion rate was 0.5% (6 patients). CONCLUSIONS: We suggest that day-surgery laparoscopic cholecystectomy is both safe and feasible in a local setting. Careful patient selection is essential in ensuring a high success rate.
