ABSTRACT

Background Robot-assisted minimally invasive heart surgery is an effective alternative when compared with classical approaches. It has a low mortality and postoperative complications and its long-term durability is comparable with conventional techniques. Aim: To report short- and long-term results with the use of a robot-assisted transthoracic approach. Patients and Methods: Review of patients undergoing heart surgery between 2015 and 2019 using a robot assisted minimally invasive technique in a single center. We analyzed demographic characteristics, surgical and early ultrasound results. Results: Thirteen procedures were reviewed, nine mitral valve repairs (MVR) in patients aged 61 ± 21 years (seven males) and four atrial septal defect (ASD) closures in patients aged from 24 to 52 years (three men). For MVR, the average extracorporeal circulation and myocardial ischemia times were 120 ± 20.9 and 89 ± 21 minutes, respectively. The median hospitalization was four days. Two cases of MVR had postoperative complications. There was no mortality. All cases showed improvement in their symptoms. Ultrasound findings showed no postoperative mitral insufficiency except in one case. Conclusions: We report very good results in both complex mitral repair and CIA closure, comparable to centers with high standards in minimally invasive robot-assisted heart surgery.

Objective: to describe non-sharps work accidents in workers of a Hospital of the Public Health Network, Chile in the 2014-2016 period. Materials and Methods: quantitative, descriptive and retrospective study of non-sharps work accidents reported in a Hospital of the Public Health network in Chile. A total of 345 notified non-sharps work accidents were analyzed, from 2014 to 2016. Results: 76% of non-sharps injuries correspond to accidents at work and 24% accidents on the way to work. They occur in greater frequency in: officials who have between 1 and 11 years of working seniority, in women (75%), belonging to Adult and Pediatric Hospitalized Units (37%) and on Thursday of the week (21%). The most common reason for non-sharp accidents is falling (25%); the body part mostly injured corresponds to hands, fingers and wrists (26%) and the most common injury is contusion (44%). Finally, 2127 business days are lost, because of this type of accident. Conclusions: the findings show that workers are affected by non-sharp accidents, with a predominance of falls, hand injuries and the work environment. That these are produced mostly in women and in Adult and Pediatric Hospitalized Units..(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La sepsis y el choque séptico representan la principal causa de muerte en las unidades de cuidados intensivos de todo el mundo; además, se encuentran entre las condiciones que conllevan alto costo en cuanto a su manejo y tratamiento, a pesar del progreso que se ha realizado en esta área. Objetivo. Establecer los principales aspectos epidemiológicos y demográficos de los pacientes diagnosticados de sepsis, la progresión y mortalidad de los mismos en el Área de Terapia Intensiva del Hospital Carlos Andrade Marín de Quito. Material y métodos. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo retrospectivo. El número total de pacientes ingresados en la unidad fue de 3 164. Se incluyó únicamente a aquellos mayores de 18 años, se excluyeron aquellos pacientes que murieron antes de las 24 horas independiente de la causa y en quienes el motivo de ingreso a la unidad se debió a traumatismo craneoencefálico. El número final de pacientes correspondió a 2 835. Resultados. De los 2 835 pacientes se identificaron: 15,1% con sepsis, 10% con sepsis grave y 64% con choque séptico. A los 28 días la mortalidad de los pacientes sépticos fue del 42,4% y a los 90 días del 47,5%. Conclusiones. El estudio evidenció que la mortalidad a los 28 y 90 días, según la progresión de gravedad de la sepsis, es comparable con algunas series de estudios realizados a nivel mundial; así como aspectos epidemiológicos y demográficos de la población de nuestra unidad.


Introduction. Sepsis and septic shock are the leading causes of death in intensive care units around the world. In addition, they are among the conditions that entail a high cost in terms of handling and treatment, despite the progress in this area. Objective. To establish the main epidemiological and demographic aspects of patients diagnosed with sepsis, their progression and mortality in the Intensive Care Unit, "Carlos Andrade Marín".
