ABSTRACT

Social, technical and legal conditions of the current practice of medicine make it necessary to insist on certain actions and circumstances that may jeopardize the confidentiality of information, offered by patients to their health providers. Therefore, some effects of the current Chilean law are analyzed in this respect, regarding access to data from the clinical record of a patient. Also, the risks of putting certain data on social networking sites are analyzed, as well as some of its effects on clinical practice. The reasons because of mandatory reporting of diseases, meaning danger to public health, is allowed, are mentioned. We also discuss the difficulties involved in managing the results of preventative health screenings and its knowledge by third parties, as well as some possible violations of personal privacy, regarding dissemination of some people health information and its further mention or figuration in mass media. We conclude that it is a must for both physicians and other health team members, to safeguard confidentiality of data to which they have had access, as well as the need to know the relevant law, in order to respect human dignity of patients, each one as a person. We address the attention to the possibility that, practicing in a different way, it could endanger the reliability of clinical records, also impairing the quality of people’s health care.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente de sexo masculino de 47 años, sin historia previa de enfermedad cuyo primer diagnóstico fue trombosis prufunda de la pierna izquierda. Más tarde y a pesar de estar con tratamiento anticoagulante, desarrolló un tromboembolismo pulmonar recurrente (confirmado por cintigrafía pulmonar) y trombosis venosa cervical. Se planteó el uso de trombolíticos, optándose finalmente por instalar un filtro en la vena cava inferior. Evolucionó con insuficiencia respiratoria y con un cuadro de abdomen agudo de etiología incierta. Durante el estudio clínico se detectó un hidrops vesicular. El manejo del tratamiento antiocoagulante fue difícil, debido a la presencia de hemorragia pulmonar y de un síndrome de distrés respiratorio, que requirió ventilación mécanica. Ulteriormente el paciente presentó una encefalopatía hipóxica de la cual se recuperó, pero cayó en insuficiencia renal que requirió hemodiálisis. El enfermo presentó un grave transtorno metabólico y del balance ácido-base. Finalmente un nuevo episodio de embolia pulmonar masiva provocó su fallecimiento. No obstante que la necropsia confirmó la embolia pulmonar masiva, se encontró inesperadamente un adenocarcinoma de la vesícula biliar con abundante metástasis hepáticas. De entre los factores de riesgo de enfermedad tromboembólica, se destaca la asociación de trombosis venosa profunda y tromboembolismo pulmonar recurrente con enfermedad neoplástica como también las dificultades para controlar el tratamiento anticoagulante en esta condición
