ABSTRACT

Objetivo: describir una estrategia de externación temprana en cirugía cardíaca pediátrica e identificar factores de riesgo de readmisión hospitalaria dentro de los 30 días del procedimiento. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo de cohorte. Se incluyeron los pacientes operados de cardiopatía congénita, egresados vivos en 2010. Se registraron edad, peso, diagnóstico, tipo de cirugía, días de internación, egreso directo de UCI o pase a sala, y readmisiones. Se consideró externación temprana cuando la estadía hospitalaria fue igual o menor de 5 días a partir del procedimiento quirúrgico. Se consideraron factores de riesgo de readmisión: edad < 6 meses, peso < 5 Kg., cirugía previa y síndrome genético. Se compararon las readmisiones de los egresos tempranos, con el total de egresos y se realizó un análisis de factores de riesgo. Resultados: En el periodo definido 327 pacientes egresaron vivos. El 47% (154) dentro de los 5 días de la cirugía, 141 con egreso directo de UCI y 13 pasaron a la sala. Los pacientes con externación temprana fueron de mayor edad y peso que la mediana general y con cirugías de menor complejidad. Reingresaron 40 pacientes (12%), no hubo diferencias entre las readmisiones de los egresos tempranos y el total de egresos; ni entre egresos directos o pases a la sala. La principal causa de readmisión fue fiebre sin foco (33%), seguida de infección de herida quirúrgica. Ningún paciente tuvo eventos de gravedad o falleció en la reinternación. No se encontraron factores de riesgo asociados a readmisión. Conclusión: un protocolo de externación temprana en cirugía cardíaca pediátrica permite reducir la estancia hospitalaria, sin mayor frecuencia de readmisiones, ni eventos de gravedad durante las mismas (AU)


Objective: To describe a strategy for early discharge in pediatric heart surgery and identify risk factors for readmission to the hospital within 30 days of the procedure. Patients and methods: A descriptive, retrospective cohort study was conducted. Patients who underwent surgery for congenital heart disease discharged alive in 2010 were included in the study. Age, diagnosis, weight, type of surgery, days of hospital stay, discharge directly from the ICU or transfer to the ward, and readmissions were recorded. Early discharge was defined as a hospital stay of 5 days or less after the surgical procedure. The following risk factors for readmission were considered: age < 6 months, weight < 5 kg, previous surgery, and genetic syndrome. Readmission rate after early discharge was compared to the total discharge rate and a risk factor analysis was performed. Results: Over the study period 327 patients were discharged alive. Overall 47% (154) was discharged within 5 days of surgery; 141 were discharged directly from the ICU and 13 were transferred to the ward. Patients that were discharged early were older and weighed more than the general population and they had undergone less complex surgeries. Forty patients (12%) were readmitted. No differences were found in readmissions between early discharges and total discharges or between discharges directly from the ICU or transfers to the ward. The main cause of readmission was fever without a focus (33%) followed by surgical wound infection. None of the patients had severe adverse events or died during in-hospital stay. No risk factors associated with readmission were found. Conclusion: A protocol of early discharge in pediatric heart surgery allows to reduce hospital stay without increasing the rate of readmissions or severe adverse events (AU)

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio de casos y controles de 121 niños intervenidos por cirugía cardíaca con circulación extracorpórea en el Cardiocentro de Santiago de Cuba (de 336 en total), en el período 1987- 2004, a fin de identificar los factores asociados que influyeron en la aparición de complicaciones neurológicas graves (en 11 de los catalogados como casos), entre los cuales figuraron: tipo de cardiopatía (adquirida) y tiempo total de perfusión (prolongado); los escogidos como controles, no complicados, sumaron 110. Desde el punto de vista significativo se consideraron importantes las variables: complejidad de la operación, tiempo de paro anóxico y temperatura utilizada en la circulación extracorpórea, cuya presencia, tanto aisladas como asociadas, debe alertar al equipo médico sobre la posible ocurrencia de dichas complicaciones. Este estudio es el primero de su tipo efectuado en Cuba


A case-control study was carried out in 121 children who underwent heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass at the Cardiology Center of Santiago de Cuba (of 336 total), in the period 1987 - 2004, in order to identify associated factors that influenced the occurrence of serious neurological complications (in 11 of those identified as cases), among which were: type of heart disease (acquired) and total time of perfusion (prolonged). Those chosen as controls without complications added up to 110. The following variables were considered statistically significant: complexity of the operation, time of anoxic arrest and temperature used in cardiopulmonary bypass. The presence of both isolated and associated variables should alert the medical team to the possible occurrence of such complications. This study is the first of its kind made in Cuba
