ABSTRACT

Objetivo: identificar la frecuencia y tipo de complicaciones, así como tiempo de estancia hospitalaria, en niños con cirugía cardiovascular a quienes se les dejó sonda de pleurostomía con sello de agua en el posoperatorio y a quienes se les retiró bajo succión continua al término de la toracotomía. Material y métodos: se realizó estudio descriptivo, comparativo y retrospectivo en el Hospital de Pediatría, Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI. Se estudiaron 88 niños sin sonda (grupo I) y 42 con sonda de pleurostomía (grupo II), sometidos a cirugía cardiovascular cerrada. Resultados: la frecuencia de complicaciones fue de 27.3 y 59.5 % en los grupos I y II. El enfisema subcutáneo tuvo una frecuencia de 13.6 % en el grupo I y de 45.2 % en el II (p = 0.0001); el neumotórax de 13.6 versus 28.6 % (p = 0.04) y el quilotórax de 2.3 versus 2.4 % (p = 1.0). La mediana del tiempo de estancia hospitalaria fue de tres y seis días en los grupos I y II, respectivamente (p = 0.0001). Conclusiones: en algunos tipos de cirugía cardiovascular cerrada en niños, el retiro de la sonda al término de la pleurostomía previa succión negativa continua, puede disminuir la frecuencia de neumotórax y enfisema subcutáneo y la estancia intrahospitalaria, en comparación cuando se deja la sonda con sello de agua en el posoperatorio.


BACKGROUND: We undertook this study to compare the frequency and type of complications, as well as the length of hospital stay, in children who underwent closed cardiovascular surgery with chest tube drainage during the postsurgical period with children in whom the drainage was withdrawn with continuous suction, once thoracotomy was completed. METHODS: A retrospective, descriptive and analytic study was performed at the IMSS Hospital de Pediatria, located at the XXI Century National Medical Center in Mexico City. Eighty eight children who underwent closed cardiovascular surgery (Group I) without chest tubes and 42 with chest tubes (Group II) were studied. RESULTS: In Group I the frequency of complications was 27.3% and in group II 59.5%. Complications were as follows: subcutaneous emphysema was seen in 13.6% (n=12) of group I and in 45.2% (n=19) of group II (p=0.0001); pneumothorax in 13.6% (n=12) vs. 28.6% (n=12), p=0.04; and chylothorax in 2.3% (n=2) vs. 2.4% (n=1), p=1.0, respectively. The median time of hospital stay in group I was 3 days and in group II was 6 days (p=0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: In children, in some closed cardiovascular surgeries, withdrawal of chest tube drainage with negative suction when thoracotomy is completed may decrease the frequency of pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema and length of hospital stay, in comparison with patients in whom chest tube drainage is left during the postoperative period.
