ABSTRACT

Mediante un estudio descriptivo trasversal, basado en la información recogida de los informes de un Servicio de Urgencias de Pediatría de un hospital secundario, obtuvimos que, en la demanda pediátrica urgente fueron más frecuentes los usuarios varones con edades comprendidas entre 1 y 2 años, que requirieron asistencia, en su mayoría, por procesos infecciosos, siendo su principal motivo de consulta la fiebre. A un reducido número de estos pacientes se les realizan exploraciones complementarias, son diagnosticados más frecuentemente de patologías banales y el destino final para prácticamente todos es el alta hospitalaria. Como valoración subjetiva por parte del profesional médico se consideran demandas justificadas el 41,55% del total. En nuestro medio, es diciembre el mes con mayor presión asistencial y, de manera general, los repuntes de demanda asistencial se dan en horario de tarde aumentando en los días festivos (AU)


We present a transversal descriptive study, which analyses several information collected from medical reports at the Emergency Department (ED) in our Hospital Pediatrics Area. It is obtained a man aged between 1 and 2 years old and who demands medical care due to an infection complaint (mostly fever), as the most frequent user at the ED (excluding orthopedics and surgical). Actually, we found a low rate of complementary examinations needed, and slight diseases as the most frequent diagnose, so most of the patients were discharged from the Hospital. 41,55% of all the visits were considered justified by the doctor (as a subjective assessment). December appears to be the month with a greatest demand, and patients come mostly at the afternoon with a rising peak if it is a holiday (AU)
