ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, transversal y prospectivo de 96 pacientes, ingresados en la Unidad de Cuidados Intermedios del Hospital Clinicoquirúrgico Docente "Dr. Joaquín Castillo Duany" de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero hasta junio del 2012, con vistas a identificar y estratificar los factores de riesgo del tromboembolismo pulmonar, así como el uso del tratamiento profiláctico durante la estadía hospitalaria de los afectados. Se determinaron los factores de riesgo y se estratificaron en: bajo, moderado, alto y muy alto, teniendo en cuenta si tenían indicación o no de algún tipo de tratamiento profiláctico, lo cual se relacionó con la estadía hospitalaria. Se constató que la mayoría de los afectados tenían asociados más de 2 factores de riesgo, tales como encamamiento prolongado, edad superior a 40 años, sepsis y algún tipo de comorbilidad, que permitieron clasificarlos como de riesgo alto o muy alto de tromboembolismo pulmonar; sin embargo, se indicó tratamiento profiláctico en solo la mitad de ellos.


A descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective study of 96 patients, admitted to the Intermediate Care Unit of "Dr. Joaquín Castillo Duany" Teaching Clinical Surgical Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January to June 2012, with the objective of identifying and stratifying the risk factors of pulmonary embolism, as well as the use of the prophylactic treatment during the hospital stay of the affected patients. The risk factors were determined and they were stratified in: low, moderate, high and very high, keeping in mind if they had indication or not of some type of prophylactic treatment, which was related to the hospital stay. It was verified that most of the affected patients had more than 2 risk factors associated, such as prolonged bedridding, age higher than 40 years, sepsis and certain comorbidity type, that allowed to classify them as high or very high risk cases of pulmonary embolism; however, prophylactic treatment was indicated just in half of them.
