ABSTRACT

Se efectuó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 103 pacientes con infecciones posoperatorias en el Servicio de Cirugía General del Hospital Provincial Docente Saturnino Lora de Santiago de Cuba durante el 2008, a fin de caracterizarles y determinar la mortalidad por esta causa. En la casuística predominaron el sexo masculino y las edades entre 31 y 60 años. La mayoría de las operaciones fueron clasificadas como urgentes sucias o contaminadas y los estados físicos preoperatorios más frecuente resultaron ser clases II y III, según la clasificación de la Sociedad Americana de Anestesiólogos. Fallecieron 6 pacientes (5,8 por ciento): 5 por sepsis y uno por tromboembolismo pulmonar; y existió relación significativa entre el grado de contaminación y el tipo de intervención, lo cual evidenció que la posibilidad de infección posoperatoria es mayor a medida que son desfavorables las condiciones en las que se realiza el acto quirúrgico


A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 103 patients with postoperative infections was conducted in the Service of General Surgery of Saturnino Lora Teaching Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba during 2008, in order to characterize them and to determine the mortality due to this cause. The male sex and the ages between 31 and 60 years prevailed in the case material. Most of the surgeries were classified as dirty or polluted emergencies and the most frequent physical preoperative states turned out to be classes II and III, according to the classification of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Six patients died (5,8 per cent): 5 due to sepsis and one due to lung thromboembolism; and there was a significant relationship between the grade of contamination and the type of intervention, which evidenced that the possibility of postoperative infection is higher as the conditions in which the surgical procedure carried out become unfavorable
