ABSTRACT

Introducción. En la actualidad, la ventilación mecánica domiciliaria (VMD) se ha convertido en una terapia de uso habitual. La tasa de uso en España es desconocida, por lo que se ha realizado una encuesta en todos los hospitales de la Comunidad de Madrid (CAM) adscritos al Sistema Nacional de Salud para recoger los datos de los pacientes tratados con VMD en octubre y noviembre de 2018. Material y métodos. Se distribuyó una encuesta on-line entre todos los hospitales de la CAM de los grupos funcionales homogéneos (GFH) 1, 2 y 3 pertenecientes al Sistema Nacional de Salud. La encuesta constaba de 50 preguntas y se solicitó que se respondiera a las preguntas con datos reales, no estimados. Resultados. La encuesta la contestaron 18 hospitales, aunque todas las preguntas del cuestionario solo fueron contestadas por 10. La tasa de uso de VMD en la CAM fue de 74/100.000 habitantes. La edad media de los pacientes en VMD era de 69 años (63-76) y el 56% eran varones. La patología que más frecuentemente justificaba la VMD fue el síndrome de obesidad hipoventilación 41% (25-70). Se encontró mucha variabilidad intercentro tanto en la tasa de VMD como en la patología que justificaba la indicación. Todos los hospitales menos 2 disponían de consulta monográfica de VMD. La adaptación se realizaba fundamentalmente en hospitalización (33%) u hospital de día (33%). Se necesita más tiempo, más personal y mejores recursos técnicos para realizar una adecuada monitorización. La relación con las empresas suministradoras de terapias es buena


Introduction. Nowadays home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is a normal use in pneumology. Rate of use in Spain is unknown. We have developed a survey in all Public Madrid Area Hospitals to keep data about HMV patients between 2018 october and november. Methods. We sent an on-line survey to all Public Madrid Area Hospitals with 50 questions about HMV uses. We asked for real data answers, trying to not estimate answers. Results. The survey was answered by 18 hospitals, although all survey questions were answered by 10 hospitals. Rate of use of HMV in Madrid Area was 74/100.000. Mean age was 69 (63-76) years and 56% were males. The most frequent pathology that justified HMV was obesity hipoventilation syndrome 41% (25-70). We found a high variability interhospital in HMV rate and in the pathology that justified it. All the hospitals instead 2 of them had a monography HMV consult. HMV adaptation was done majority in hospitalization (33%) and in day hospital (33%). It is necessary more time, more people and better devices to achieve a proper monitoring. The relationship with the therapy providers is good

ABSTRACT

Pegylated interferon and ribavirin is the treatment of choice in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. The most common side effects of interferon therapy are flu-like symptoms and psychiatric disorders. Pneumonitis is a less frequent complication associated with non-negligible mortality. We herein report a case of interferon associated pneumonitis in a patient with non-severe clinical symptoms and a normal chest radiography. Physicians should be aware of this entity during the differential diagnosis of respiratory symptoms in patients receiving treatment with interferon due to its high morbimortality and good resolution and outcome after drug withdrawal.

ABSTRACT

El interferón pegilado asociado a ribavirina es el tratamiento de elección en los pacientes con infección por hepatitis C crónica. Los efectos secundarios más comunes son los síntomas gripales y las alteraciones psiquiátricas. La neumonitis es una complicación poco frecuente, pero se asocia con una mortalidad no despreciable. Presentamos el caso clínico de un paciente con neumonitis intersticial asociada a interferón que presentaba signos y síntomas clínicos sutiles y una radiografía de tórax sin alteraciones. Se debe de tener presente esta entidad en el diagnóstico diferencial de los síntomas respiratorios en pacientes que reciben tratamiento con interferón debido a su elevada morbi-mortalidad y a su evolución favorable tras la retirada del fármaco(AU)

ABSTRACT

A raíz de la aparición y crecimiento del fenómeno inmigratorio desde países extranjeros a España iniciado a primeros de esta década, se ha observado en determinadas regiones geográficas de nuestro país y en áreas metropolitanas de grandes ciudades como Madrid y Barcelona una desaceleración en la caída de las tasas de tuberculosis (TB) respecto a años anteriores con un aumento progresivo del porcentaje de casos en el colectivo inmigrante. Este fenómeno social planteaun nuevo reto sanitario en un país como el nuestro con importantes carencias -entre ellas, la ausencia de un Programa Nacional contra la Tuberculosis- que dificultará el control de la enfermedad y ralentizará el declive de unas tasas (en España en torno a 25-30/100.000 en 2003) que poco a poco y siempre con atraso respecto a nuestro entorno (en Holanda8-9/100.000) venían mejorando. En el presente estudio descriptivo analizamos el papel y las características del fenómeno inmigratorio y su evolución en el Área Sanitaria 10 de la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid en el período 1992-2003, las dificultades que la nueva situación ha planteado y sus posibles soluciones


Based on the appearance and growth of the immigration phenomenon from foreign countries to Spain that began at the onset of this decade, the slowdown in the rate of decrease of tuberculosis (TB) with a progressive increase of the percentage of cases in the immigrant group regarding previous years has been observed in certain geographic regions of our countryand in the metropolitan areas of large cities such as Madrid and Barcelona. This social phenomenon poses a new healthcare challenge in a country such as ours with important deficiencies, among them the absence of a National Program against Tuberculosis, that will make it difficult to control the disease and will slow down the decline of some rates (in Spain, about 25-30/100000 in 2003) that had been improving little by little and always with a delay regarding our setting ((inHolland 8-9/100000). We analyze the role and characteristics of the immigration phenomenon and its evolution in the Madrid Regional Community Healthcare Area 10 in the period 1992-2003. We also analyze the difficulties that the new situation has posed and their possible solutions

ABSTRACT

Aortobronchial fistula is a rare but serious cause of hemoptysis. It can develop from an aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta in the context of infections or it may appear as a sequel of surgical repair of congenital heart defects. Presenting symptoms include mild bronchial hemorrhages and recurrent chest pain, culminating in a normally fatal massive hemorrhage. Diagnosis by imaging is not always conclusive and clinical suspicion based on medical history is essential. Surgical placement of an endovascular stent graft is the treatment of choice. Post-surgical prognosis is good although there is a risk of recurrence in the case of superinfection.

ABSTRACT

La fístula aortobronquial es una causa rara pero grave de hemoptisis. Se produce como evolución de un aneurisma de la aorta torácica descendente en procesos infecciosos o tras la reparación quirúrgica de cardiopatías congénitas. Se suele manifestar con episodios de hemorragia bronquial leve y dolor torácico recurrentes, hasta la aparición de una hemoptisis masiva, mortal en la mayoría de los casos. El diagnóstico definitivo por técnicas de imagen no siempre es posible, por lo que es fundamental la sospecha clínica tras una anamnesis adecuada. El tratamiento de elección es quirúrgico, mediante la colocación de una prótesis endovascular. El pronóstico tras la intervención es bueno, aunque con riesgo de recurrencia si se produce una sobreinfección

ABSTRACT

Basal cell carcinoma of the skin is a common neoplasm usually considered benign. Rarely, distant metastases can involve organs such as the brain, lung, and bone. We report the case of a 41-year old man diagnosed with lung metastasis secondary to base cell carcinoma. Given that the development of metastasis is associated with short survival and the therapeutic arsenal is scarce, we emphasize the importance of long-term follow up of such patients.

ABSTRACT

El carcinoma basocelular cutáneo es una neoplasia común, que usualmente se considera benigna. Las metastásis a distancia son muy raras y pueden afectar a órganos como el cerebro, pulmón y hueso. Publicamos el caso de un varón de 41 años diagnosticado de metástasis pulmonares secundarias a un carcinoma basocelular recidivante. Dado que el desarrollo de metástasis se asocia a una corta supervivencia y que el arsenal terapéutico del que disponemos es escaso, queremos destacar la importancia que tiene el seguimiento a largo plazo de estos pacientes

ABSTRACT

A 49-year-old man with no known history of pulmonary disease was treated at our hospital after observation of an interstitial pattern on a chest film. The patient was a smoker and professional painter. Computed tomography of the chest showed a diffuse bilateral ground-glass pattern. The lung biopsy showed intra-alveolar lipid accumulation in the form of vacuoles of varying sizes surrounded by numerous focally multinucleated macrophages, establishing a definitive diagnosis of exogenous lipoid pneumonia. Given the patient's profession, he was recommended to avoid workplace exposure to paraffins and oily sprays. The clinical course was favorable after exposure was stopped, with improved lung function and symptoms.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso de un varón de 49 años, fumador activo, pintor de profesión y sin enfermedad pulmonar conocida, que fue estudiado en nuestra consulta ante el hallazgo de un patrón intersticial en una radiografía de tórax. En la tomografía computarizada torácica que se le realizó, se evidenció un patrón bilateral difuso en vidrio deslustrado. La biopsia pulmonar fue la prueba que permitió establecer el diagnóstico definitivo. En ella se apreciaron cúmulos de lípidos intraalveolares, en forma de glóbulos de tamaño variable, rodeados de numerosos macrófagos, focalmente multinucleados, hallazgos compatibles con una neumonía lipoidea exógena. Dada la profesión del paciente, se le recomendó evitar la exposición laboral a parafinas y a pulverizaciones oleosas. Tras la retirada de dicha exposición, se observó una evolución favorable, con mejoría clínica y funcional del paciente (AU)

ABSTRACT

Several commonly prescribed drugs can cause acute non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. A cause-effect relationship is usually difficult to establish because symptoms are not specific. We report a case of pulmonary edema induced by a common diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide. This complication can occur after a first dose of the drug or in patients who have been taking it with no side effects. Edema is due to an idiosyncratic reaction rather than an immune response. The clinical course is usually favorable over the first 24 hours with treatment of blood pressure and respiratory support. Given that severity increases with recurrence, we underline the importance of diagnosis in the first episode.

ABSTRACT

Diversos fármacos utilizados con asiduidad pueden producir edema agudo de pulmón no cardiogénico. En la mayoría de los casos es difícil establecer la relación causal por la inespecificidad de los síntomas. Presentamos el caso clínico de un edema pulmonar inducido por un diurético de uso frecuente, la hidroclorotiazida. Esta complicación puede presentarse tras la primera toma del fármaco, o aparecer en pacientes que lo habían tomado previamente sin problemas. Se debe a una reacción idiosincrásica, no inmunitaria. La evolución suele ser favorable en las primeras 14 h con tratamiento de soporte respiratorio y hemodinámico. En caso de recurrencia, aumenta la gravedad, por lo que señalamos la importancia del diagnóstico en el primer episodio (AU)

ABSTRACT

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas are rare malformations often associated with Rendu-Osler-Weber (ROW) disease. Morbidity and mortality are significant and arise from hemorrhagic and neurological complications.We report the cases of two patients, mother and son, with earlier diagnoses of ROW disease, who suffered, respectively, a stroke and a brain abscess with massive pulmonary thromboembolism. Helicoid computed axial tomographic scans demonstrated pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas in both. Given these findings, we performed embolotherapy.

ABSTRACT

Las fístulas arteriovenosas pulmonares son malformaciones vasculares raras. Con frecuencia se asocian con la enfermedad de Rendu-Osler-Weber (ROW). Presentan una morbilidad y una mortalidad significativas, que se derivan de las complicaciones hemorrágicas y neurológicas que pueden provocar. En este artículo se describe a 2 pacientes, madre e hijo, diagnosticados previamente de enfermedad de ROW, que presentaron un infarto isquémico cerebral y un absceso cerebral con una tromboembolia pulmonar masiva, respectivamente. En ambos casos se realizó una tomografía computarizada helicoidal que demostró la existencia de fístulas arteriovenosas pulmonares. Ante estos hallazgos se practicó un procedimiento de embolización (AU)
