ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The open abdomen is a surgical technique used in the treatment of patients with abdominal sepsis, abdominal trauma and abdominal hypertension syndrome. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to demonstrate the effectiveness of a new surgical technique designed for the management and closure of the abdominal wall in patients with open abdomen. METHOD: Study of all patients treated with open abdomen in our Hospital over a five-year period. RESULTS: It were included 24 patients, 18 men and 6 women. The average age was 41.5 ± 15.9 years. Operative diagnosis was abdominal compartment syndrome in 7 (29%) cases, abdominal sepsis in 9 (38%), and abdominal trauma in 8 (33%). The median of APACHE II score was 8 points (range: 5-21) while the assessment of SIRS score had a median of 2 points (range: 1-4). The median of surgical procedures performed in operating room was two per patient. The median of fascial surgical closures performed in the patient bed was four. A successful closure of the abdominal wall was performed in 21 of 22 live patients (95%). CONCLUSIONS: The sequential closure of the abdominal wall is an effective technique that offers an alternative to the management of the open abdomen.


ANTECEDENTES: El abdomen abierto es un método quirúrgico utilizado en el tratamiento de pacientes con sepsis abdominal, en trauma abdominal en casos de cirugía de control de daños y en casos de síndrome de hipertensión abdominal. OBJETIVO: Demostrar la efectividad de una nueva técnica quirúrgica en pacientes con abdomen abierto. MÉTODO: Estudio de todos los pacientes manejados con abdomen abierto en nuestro hospital en un periodo de 5 años. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 24 pacientes, 18 hombres y 6 mujeres, con una edad promedio de 41.5 ± 15.9 años. El diagnóstico operatorio fue síndrome compartimental abdominal en 7 (29%) casos, sepsis abdominal en 9 (38%) y trauma abdominal en 8 (33%). La puntuación APACHE II tuvo una mediana de 8 (rango: 5-21) y el SIRS una mediana de 2 (rango: 1-4). La mediana de ingresos a quirófano por paciente fue de dos. La mediana de las aproximaciones aponeuróticas fuera de quirófano fue de cuatro. Se realizó un cierre definitivo de la pared abdominal en 21 de 22 pacientes vivos, considerando cierre exitoso en el 95%. CONCLUSIONES: El cierre secuencial es una técnica efectiva que ofrece una alternativa en pacientes que requieren manejo con abdomen abierto.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Estudiar la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea (dM) en pacientes diagnosticados de glaucoma primario de ángulo abierto (GPAA). Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional para valorar la adherencia a la dM en los pacientes diagnosticados de GPAA que acuden a la consulta del Servicio de Oftalmología del Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Canarias. Consistió en la realización de una encuesta -personal o telefónica-, compuesta de 14 ítems validados por el estudio PREDIMED. Resultados: Se encuestó a 100 pacientes, 50 hombres y 50 mujeres. El grupo de los hombres tenía una edad media de 69,58 años y el de las mujeres, de 67,42 años. Los hombres presentaban mayores comorbilidades que las mujeres (tabaco 28 vs. 6%), hipertensión arterial (60 vs. 56%), diabetes (32 vs. 12%). La adherencia a la dM en hombres fue baja en 9 pacientes (18%), moderada en 37 pacientes (74%) y alta en 4 pacientes (8%). En las mujeres la adherencia a la dM fue baja en 14 pacientes (28%), media en 34 pacientes (68%) y alta en 2 pacientes (6%). El total de adherencia a la dM de los pacientes es baja en el 23%, moderada en el 71% y alta en el 6%. Conclusiones: Los pacientes diagnosticados de GPAA en nuestra área de atención sanitaria presentan en su mayoría una adherencia moderada a la dM. El papel del facultativo es importante y debe mejorar, para proporcionar la información adecuada sobre la dM y sus beneficios respecto al GPAA (AU)


Objective: To study the adherence to the Mediterranean diet in patients affected by primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Materials and methods: An observational study was conducted to assess the adherence to the Mediterranean diet in patients affected by POAG, and who attended the Ophthalmology Department of the Canary Islands University Hospital. The study included completing a 14-item questionnaire validated by the PREDIMED Study, in person or by telephone. Results: A total of 100 questionnaires were completed successfully by 50 males and 50 females. The mean age was 69.58 years for the males and 67.42 years for women. The men had more comorbidities than women (tobacco 14 vs. 3%), arterial hypertension, and diabetes (30 vs. 28%, and 16 vs. 6%, respectively). Adherence to the Mediterranean diet in males, was low in 9 patients (18%), moderate in 37 (74%), and high in 4 (8%) cases. In women adherence was low in 14 patients (28%), moderate in 34 (68%), and high in 2 (6%) cases. The overall adhesion to the Mediterranean diet is low in 23%, moderate in 71% and high in 6% of the cases. Conclusion: Patients who are affected by POAG have moderate adherence to the Mediterranean diet (AU)
