ABSTRACT

ANTECEDENTES Y OBJETIVO: Los objetivos de la Sección de Cuidados Intensivos de la Sociedad Española de Anestesiología, Reanimación y Terapéutica del Dolor (SCI-SEDAR) con el presente trabajo son: establecer nuevas recomendaciones adaptando los estándares publicados por el Ministerio de Sanidad y Política Social, y alineadas con las principales guías internacionales, y desarrollar una herramienta de mejora de la calidad y la eficiencia. MATERIALES Y MÉTODO: A lo largo de 2018, 3 miembros de la SCI-SEDAR definieron la metodología, desarrollaron las recomendaciones y seleccionaron al panel de expertos. Debido a la limitada evidencia de buena parte de las recomendaciones y a la importante variabilidad estructural de las unidades de cuidados intensivos de anestesia actuales, se optó por un abordaje Delphi modificado para determinar el grado de consenso. RESULTADOS: Un total de 24 expertos de 21 instituciones constituyeron el grupo de expertos del presente trabajo. Se establecieron 175 recomendaciones sobre 8 apartados, incluyendo 129 con consenso fuerte y 46 con consenso débil. CONCLUSIONES: La SCI-SEDAR estableció las recomendaciones estructurales de las unidades de cuidados intensivos de anestesia que deberán guiar la renovación o la creación de nuevas unidades


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In this article, the Intensive Care Section of the Spanish Society of Anesthesiology (SCI-SEDAR) establishes new recommendations based on the standards published by the Ministry of Health, Consumer Affairs and Social Welfare and aligned with the principle international guidelines, and develops a tool to improve quality and efficiency. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Over a 12-month period (2018), 3 members of the SCI-SEDAR defined the methodology, developed the recommendations and selected the panel of experts. Due to the limited evidence available for many of the recommendations and the significant structural differences between existing anesthesia intensive care units, we chose a modified Delphi approach to determine the degree of consensus. RESULTS: The panel consisted of 24 experts from 21 institutions. The group put forward 175 recommendations on 8 sections, including 129 with strong consensus and 46 with weak consensus. CONCLUSIONS: The SCI-SEDAR has established a series of structural recommendations that should be used when renovating or creating new anesthesia intensive care units

ABSTRACT

A pesar de la extendida y frecuente utilización del catéter de arteria pulmonar en nuestro medio para el manejo hemodinámico en pacientes críticos y particularmente en pacientes tras cirugía cardiaca, en la actualidad siguen planteándose dudas sobre la necesidad de su uso. Es preciso valorar el riesgo/beneficio de su colocación y tener en cuenta sus posibles complicaciones, que aun siendo poco frecuentes, pueden llegar a ser potencialmente graves. En este artículo exponemos una complicación muy poco frecuente ocurrida en nuestro centro sobre el uso del catéter de arteria pulmonar de la que no teníamos constancia hasta ahora. Se trata de una perforación del tabique interventricular y de la pared libre del ventrículo izquierdo debido a una acodadura firme del catéter de arteria pulmonar, que no fue sospechada ni diagnosticada salvo por la visión directa del corazón, tras la esternotomía, durante la cirugía cardiaca. La mejora de la seguridad del paciente implica reflexionar sobre el valor de los eventos adversos, de manera que al aumentar la conciencia de la situación y del mecanismo por el que se producen, pueda reducirse la probabilidad de repetición


Despite the widespread and frequent use in our setting of pulmonary artery catheters for haemodynamic management in critically ill patients, particularly after heart surgery, some experts continue to question the need for these devices. Clinicians need to weigh up the risks and benefits of pulmonary artery catheters placement and bear in mind the potential complications which, though rare, can be potentially fatal. We present a pulmonary artery catheters-related complication not hitherto described in the literature, involving perforation of the interventricular septum and left ventricular free wall caused by a kink in the pulmonary artery catheters that was not suspected, and only diagnosed by direct vision of the heart after pericardial opening. In the interest of patient safety, we must consider the impact of adverse events; improving our situational awareness and our understanding of the mechanisms behind such events can help reduce the likelihood of repetitions in the future

ABSTRACT

Varón de 44 años con desnutrición calórico-proteica grave en el contexto de una estenosis pilórica benigna, a quien se decidió colocar un catéter central de inserción periférica (CCIP) para tratamiento con nutrición parenteral. Al quinto día de la inserción del catéter, presentó un derrame pleural derecho masivo de color blanco e insuficiencia respiratoria tras la realización de una endoscopia digestiva alta para el tratamiento de la estenosis pilórica. Ante la sospecha inicial de quilotórax el paciente ingresó en la Unidad de Reanimación. Se administró verde de indocianina a través del CCIP, obteniendo a los 30 min una coloración verdosa del contenido del derrame pleural; este resultado nos hizo sospechar que el derrame pleural era secundario a una perforación vascular por el CCIP con extravasación de la nutrición parenteral al espacio pleural. Se realizó una tomografía computarizada toracoabdominal, que confirmó la existencia de una perforación a nivel de la vena innominada. La colocación de un CCIP puede asociarse a complicaciones graves, como la perforación de una vena central, por tanto, la correcta posición de un catéter central debe ser siempre comprobada. La prueba diagnóstica de elección de perforación vascular a nivel central es la tomografía computarizada con contraste; sin embargo, ante la existencia de derrame pleural en este contexto, es posible emplear un colorante que, administrado de forma intravenosa, oriente su diagnóstico in situ. En este caso se empleó el verde de indocianina con este objetivo (AU)


A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) was inserted into a 44-year-old man to provide parenteral nutrition in a protein-calorie malnutrition secondary to a benign pyloric stenosis. On the fifth day while monitoring the catheter, the patient presented with a massive whitish pleural effusion after undergoing gastric endoscopy in order to treat pyloric stenosis. Chylothorax was initially suspected, and the patient was admitted to a recovery unit. Indocyanine green was administered through the PICC, obtaining a greenish discoloration in the pleural effusion 30 min later. This led to the diagnosis of a pleural effusion caused by a vessel perforation due to the PICC, leading to parenteral nutrition extravasation. Thoraco-abdominal computed tomography was performed, which confirmed an innominate vein perforation due to the PICC. PICC insertion may be associated with severe complications, such as central vessel perforation, and therefore the correct position of a central catheter should be always checked. Intravenous computed tomography contrast is the gold standard for central vascular perforation diagnosis. However if a pleural effusion occurs in this context, it is possible to use a dye, which administered intravenously can lead us to the correct diagnosis in situ. Indocyanine green was used for this purpose in this case (AU)

Objetivo. Describir la efectividad y tolerabilidad delajuste de dosis de meropenem en el tratamiento empíricode infecciones nosocomiales en pacientes críticos ingresadosen Servicios de Medicina Intensiva (SMI).Método. Estudio prospectivo, observacional y multicéntricode pacientes ingresados en 17 SMI con infecciones nosocomialesy tratamiento inicial con meropenem a dosis de1 g cada 8 h. Se ajustó la dosis inicial a 0,5 g cada 8 h cuandocumplían las siguientes condiciones: a) evolución clínicafavorable y b) un aislamiento microbiológico sensible a meropenemo ausencia de microorganismos en los cultivos realizados.Resultados. Se incluyeron 92 pacientes en los que seajustó la dosis de meropenem a 0,5 g cada 8 h. La infeccióntratada más frecuentemente fue la neumonía relacionadacon ventilación mecánica, seguido de las bacteriemias. Losestudios microbiológicos fueron positivos en 53 pacientesen los que predominaron bacterias grampositivas (53,7 %),en especial Staphylococcus aureus sensible a la meticilina,seguido de bacterias gramnegativas (42,7%).En 18 casos los pacientes no fueron evaluables al finaldel tratamiento. De los 74 casos evaluables, 67 (90,5%) presentaronuna evolución favorable (curación: 54 pacientes;mejoría: 13). En 50 de los 53 casos evaluables por Microbiologíase logró la erradicación o supuesta erradicación de losmicroorganismos iniciales y en 3 persistió el patógeno inicial:Acinetobacter baumannii (2 casos) y Pseudomonasaeruginosa (1 caso). Se detectó la aparición de nuevos microorganismosdurante el tratamiento en tres ocasiones: A. baumannii(2 casos) y 1 de S. aureus resistente a la meticilina.Aparecieron efectos adversos en 3 pacientes (4%), ninguno valorado como grave, que no precisaron la retirada del tratamiento.Fallecieron 25 (27,2%) pacientes, 3 de ellos en relacióncon la infección (AU)


Objective.

ABSTRACT

Early postoperative complications after liver transplantation are classified broadly as either medical or surgical. This review covers the main aspects of the pathophysiology and clinical management of the latter group. Surgical complications of liver transplantation are an important cause of morbimortality; their early diagnosis and treatment are therefore critical issues. Such complications are usually related to surgical technique and their correction often requires a second surgical procedure. The most common early postoperative complication, and one of the most serious ones, is hepatic artery thrombosis. Venous complications are less prevalent and biliary ones predominate in the late postoperative phase.

ABSTRACT

Las complicaciones postoperatorias precoces tras el trasplante hepático ortotópico se clasifican en dos grandes grupos, médicas y quirúrgicas. Aquí revisamos los principales aspectos referidos a la fisiopatología y manejo clínico del segundo grupo. Las complicaciones quirúrgicas representan una importante fuente de morbimortalidad en el postoperatorio del trasplantado hepático, siendo crucial su diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz. Suelen relacionarse con la técnica quirúrgica y un alto porcentaje requiere una reintervención para su tratamiento. En este período la trombosis de la arteria hepática es la complicación más usual y una de las más graves; las complicaciones venosas son menos prevalentes y las de tipo biliar predominan en el postoperatorio tardío.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To compare the antipyretic and hemodynamic effects of metamizol and propacetamol in critically ill patients with fever. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A prospective randomized trial enrolling 60 patients admitted to our postoperative intensive care unit with fever > 38 degrees C. Patients were assigned to group M to receive intravenous doses of 2 g of metamizol or group P to receive 2 g of propacetamol. Measures were central temperature (Ta), systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP) and mean (MBP) blood pressures, mean pulmonary artery pressure, central venous pressure, pulmonary capillary pressure, pulmonary and systemic vascular resistance index, and mixed venous saturation. All measures were taken at four times: baseline and 30, 60 and 120 minutes after infusion of the medication. Patients whose SBP fell below 90 mm Hg were withdrawn from the study. RESULTS: Patient characteristics and baseline hemodynamics and Ta were similar in the two groups. We observed a significant decrease in temperature in both groups, the maximum decrease occurring 120 minutes after administration of the antipyretic (0.5 degree C and 0.6 degree in the metamizol and propacetamol groups, respectively). SBP, DBP, MBP, and the vascular resistance index decreased from baseline values in both groups 30, 60 and 120 minutes after dosing. Thirteen percent of the patients in group M and 6.67% in group P were withdrawn from the study because of hypotension. We observed no statistically significant differences between the groups in Ta or hemodynamic variables at any of the four moments of measurement. CONCLUSION: Both metamizol and propacetamol are effective antipyretics at the doses tested. However, both have adverse hemodynamic side effects that may be poorly tolerated by critically patients.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Comparar los efectos antipiréticos y hemodinámicos del metamizol y propacetamol administrados a pacientes críticamente enfermos que presentaban fiebre. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio prospectivo y aleatorio sobre 60 pacientes ingresados en nuestra Unidad de Reanimación que presentaban una temperatura central >38ºC. Los pacientes fueron distribuidos en dos grupos: grupo M: se administraron 2 g de metamizol iv, grupo P: se administraron 2 g de propacetamol iv. Se midió temperatura central (Ta), presión arterial sistólica (PAS), diastólica (PAD) y media (PAM), presión de arteria pulmonar media, presión venosa central, presión capilar pulmonar, índice de resistencias vasculares sistémicas (IRVS) y pulmonares y saturación venosa mixta en cuatro momentos: basal y a los 30, 60 y 120 minutos tras la administración del fármaco. Los pacientes con una disminución de la PAS hasta valores menores de 90 mmHg eran excluidos del estudio. RESULTADOS: Los dos grupos fueron homogéneos en sus características demográficas y en los valores de Ta y hemodinámicos basales. Observamos en ambos grupos una disminución significativa de la temperatura, siendo máximo el descenso a los 120 minutos de administrado el antipirético (de 0,5ºC y 0,6oC en el grupo metamizol y propacetamol respectivamente). En ambos grupos se observó una disminución estadísticamente significativa de la PAS, PAD, PAM, IRVS a los 30, 60 y 120 minutos respecto a los valores basales. Un 13 por ciento en el grupo M y 6,67 por ciento en el grupo P de los pacientes tuvieron que ser excluidos del estudio por hipotensión. No observamos diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambos grupos ni en los valores de T.o ni en los datos hemodinámicos en las 4 determinaciones realizadas. CONCLUSIONES: A las dosis administradas, tanto el metamizol como el propacetamol, son eficaces en el tratamiento de la fiebre; pero presentan efectos hemodinámicos adversos que pueden ser mal tolerados en pacientes críticamente enfermos.
