RESUMEN
Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de una muestra de 134 pacientes, de 171 en total, que presentaron algún estadio del síndrome de respuesta inflamatoria sistémica al ingreso o durante su permanencia en las unidades de cuidados intensivos pediátricos de los 2 hospitales infantiles docentes ubicados en el municipio de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero de 2007 hasta diciembre de 2009, con vista a determinar algunos aspectos clínicos y epidemiológicos en la casuística (edades, desnutrición, enfermedades crónicas asociadas, insuficiencia multiorgánica y otros). El ingreso directo a través del Cuerpo de Guardia y el predominio de infecciones respiratorias estuvieron vinculados con septicemias de mayor gravedad. El estado de choque séptico fue la causa de muerte en todos los fallecidos.
ABSTRACT
A descriptive and cross-sectional study of a sample of 134 patients, of 171 in total that presented some stage of the syndrome of systemic inflammatory response when admitted or during their stay in the pediatric intensive care units of the 2 teaching children hospitals located in the municipality of Santiago de Cuba was carried out, from January, 2007 to December, 2009, aimed at determining some clinical and epidemiologic aspects in the case material (ages, malnutrition, associated chronic diseases, multiorganic failure and others). The direct admission through the emergency room and the prevalence of breathing infections were linked to more serious septicemias. The state of septic shock was the cause of death in all deaths.
