[Olanzapine long-acting post-injection syndrome: a case report and brief review]. / Síndrome post-inyección por olanzapina de liberación retardada: Breve revisión a propósito de un caso.

The introduction of long-acting injectable atypical antipsychotics has ensured adherence to treatment in patients with low awareness of the disorder, with an acceptable rate of side effects. In the case of long acting olanzapine injection in particular, has particular relevance the existence of a special side-effect called post-injection syndrome. This rare side effect consisting in the presence of symptoms of olanzapine overdose after intramuscular administration of medication has led to restrictions on the use of the drug and the need for patient observation for three hours after each injection. We report a case of postinjection syndrome, to our knowledge, the first in Spain since the commercialization of Zypadhera. As in most cases described in the literature have symptoms of overdosage of olanzapine (dysarthria, sedation, fatigue, etc.) that are selflimiting without any therapeutic measure and are accompanied by supratherapeutic plasma levels of olanzapine.

Síndrome post-inyección por olanzapina de liberación retardada: Breve revisión a propósito de un caso / Olanzapine long-acting post-injection syndrome: A case report and brief review

La introducción de los antipsicóticos atípicos de liberación retardada ha permitido asegurar la adherencia al tratamiento en aquellos pacientes con baja conciencia de trastorno, con una tasa aceptable de efectos secundarios. En el caso de la olanzapina de liberación retardada en concreto, tiene especial relevancia la existencia del llamado Síndrome post-inyección. Este efecto secundario poco común consistente en la presencia de síntomas de sobredosis de olanzapina tras la administración intramuscular de la medicación ha supuesto restricción del uso del medicamento y la necesidad de observación del paciente durante tres horas después de cada inyección. Se presenta un caso de Síndrome post-inyección, a nuestro conocimiento, el primero en España desde la comercialización de Zypadhera. Al igual que en la mayoría de casos descritos en la bibliografía el paciente presenta síntomas de sobredosificación de olanzapina (disartria, sedación, astenia, etc.) que se auto limitan sin medida terapéutica alguna y se acompañan de niveles plasmáticos supraterapéuticos de olanzapina(AU)

[Research projects in mental health care speciality: mentoring and lived experiences]. / Tutorización y vivencias personales: investigación en la especialidad de salud mental.

The goal of the present study is to describe the methodology followed in the implementation of the mentoring research projects developed by the three residents of mental health during the 2009-10 academic years and present the results obtained and recognition. We designed eight targeted monthly tutorials and educational material complementing the methodological support. The development of the project followed an established pattern that allowed progressively advancing in the various phases. When completed the projects, the most relevant were selected for presentation at the XI National Meeting of Residents of Mental Health Nursing, and planned a public presentation of all projects. The main findings from the evaluation work were made for every resident of the experience and the quality of the tutorials. In his narrative are the positive enrichment achieved during the year of residency from the perspective of learning as well as relationship with mentors. In the individual assessment reflect relevant aspects of the authorization process as closeness, trust, resolving doubts, guidelines for intervention. The project presented at the national meeting took second award.

Se describe la metodología seguida en la realización de las tutorías de los proyectos de investigación desarrollados por tres residentes de salud mental durante el curso 2009-10 y se presentan los resultados y el reconocimiento obtenido. Se diseñaron ocho tutorías mensuales con objetivos específicos y con material docente que complementaba el soporte metodológico. El desarrollo del proyecto siguió un modelo establecido que permitía, de manera progresiva, avanzar en las diferentes fases. Cuando finalizaron los proyectos se seleccionó el más relevante para su presentación en el XI Encuentro Nacional de Residentes de Enfermería en Salud mental, y se planificó una presentación pública de todos los proyectos. Los principales hallazgos del trabajo surgieron de la evaluación que efectuó cada residente de la experiencia y de la calidad de las tutorías. En su narrativa muestran el positivo enriquecimiento obtenido durante el año de residencia desde la perspectiva de adquisición de conocimientos así como de aspectos relacionales con sus tutoras. En la evaluación individual reflejan aspectos relevantes en el proceso de tutorización como: cercanía, confianza, resolución de dudas, directrices de intervención. El proyecto presentado en el Encuentro Nacional, obtuvo el 2º premio(AU)
