ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Evaluar las características de las intoxicaciones agudas atendidas en urgencias hospitalarias durante 5 años. MÉTODO: Estudio retrospectivo de las intoxicaciones agudas asistidas en 3 hospitales entre 2013 y 2017, y análisis de las características demográficas, tipos de intoxicación, variaciones estacionales, asistencia recibida y reincidencia. RESULTADOS: El 0,51% de los casos atendidos en los 3 hospitales correspondieron a intoxicaciones agudas. Los porcentajes varían según la localización del hospital (0,91% urbano, 0,37% en zona de costa y 0,22% rural). Las intoxicaciones alcohólicas presentan cierto carácter estacional, aumentando en época estival en la costa (p < 0,05). A partir de los 31 años de edad existen diferencias en cuanto al tipo de intoxicación (p < 0,05) en los 3 hospitales. El alcohol siempre representa el mayor número de casos a partir de los 31 años, excepto en la zona rural donde la mayoría de los casos son intoxicaciones voluntarias con fines autolíticos. Los hombres muestran mayor prevalencia que las mujeres (55,77 vs. 44,23%) para el conjunto de los casos. Las intoxicaciones alcohólicas ocurren en primer lugar en hombres de 30 a 75 años y las voluntarias con fines autolíticos en mujeres, excepto en las de 30 a 46 años en las que también es por alcohol. El mayor número de casos reincidentes se producen por el alcohol en hombres (791 casos) y por benzodiacepinas en mujeres (528 casos). CONCLUSIONES: El número y el tipo de intoxicación varía en función de la ubicación del hospital, la época del año, el sexo y la edad de los pacientes


OBJECTIVE: To assess the characteristics of acute poisoning cases treated in hospital emergency departments over 5 years. METHODS: Retrospective study of acute poisoning cases treated in 3 hospitals between 2013 and 2017 and an analysis of the demographic characteristics, types of poisoning, seasonal variations, care received and recurrence. RESULTS: Some 0.51% of all cases treated in the 3 hospitals corresponded to acute poisoning. The percentages varied by hospital location (0.91% urban, 0.37% coastal and 0.22% rural). Cases of alcohol poisoning had a seasonal character, increasing during the summer on the coast (P<.05). There were differences in the type of poisoning ( P<.05) for patients 31 years of age and older in the 3 hospitals. Alcohol represented the largest number of cases in patients 31 years of age and older, except in the rural area where most cases were due to voluntary poisoning in attempted suicide. Men had a higher prevalence of poisoning than women (55.77% vs. 44.23%) for all cases. Alcohol poisoning was in first place for men 30-75 years, and voluntary poisoning for attempted suicide was first for women, except for those 30-46 years of age for whom alcohol was also number one. The large number of cases of recurrence were due to alcohol in men (791 cases) and to benzodiazepines in women (528 cases). CONCLUSIONS: The number of cases and the type of poisoning varied according to hospital location, season, patient sex and patient age

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Dolor crónico es aquel que permanece tras 3 meses desde la intervención quirúrgica. De etiología multifactorial, puede llegar a ser invalidante para el paciente. Objetivos: Conocer, en nuestro medio, la prevalencia del dolor crónico posthernioplastia inguinal en cirugía programada y régimen ambulatorio. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de los pacientes diagnosticados de hernia inguinal e intervenidos de manera programada en cirugía mayor ambulatoria entre enero de 2000 y diciembre de 2006. Dolor inmediato: primeras 72 horas; dolor agudo: 3 primeros meses; dolor crónico: más de 3 meses. Seguimiento: llamada telefónica a las 24 y 48 horas del alta, revisión en consulta al mes y llamada telefónica al año. Resultados: 3.649 pacientes (81,70% hombres), edad media 54,15 años. ASA II 63,55%. Dolor inmediato en el 85% delos pacientes, que cedió con la analgesia pautada; dolor agudo en el 3%, inyectándose corticoide y anestésico local cuando el dolor no cedía pasadas 4 semanas en 3 pacientes; dolor crónico en el 0% de los pacientes seguidos durante un año. Discusión: Durante el primer mes del postoperatorio sólo están indicados analgésicos orales. Pasado este periodo y ante la permanencia de dolor, u na alternativa a la analgesia pautada puede ser la inyección de corticoide y anestésico local en lazona intervenida. Conclusión: El dolor inmediato tras la hernioplastia inguinal programada en régimen ambulatorio así como el producido en los 3 primeros meses, precisa únicamente analgesia oral. Es nula la prevalencia de dolor crónico en nuestra serie (AU)


Introduction: Chronic pain is pain that persists 3 months after the surgical procedure. Of multifactorial etiology, it can be disabling for the patient. Objetives: To determine, in our environment, the prevalence of chronic pain after inguinal hernioplasty scheduled as ambulatory surgery. Material and methods: A retrospective study of patients diagnosed with inguinal hernia and who underwent ambulatory surgery between January 2000 and December 2006. Immediate pain: at 72hours; severe pain: up to 3 months; chronic pain: more than 3months. Follow-up: telephone call at 24 and 48 hours after discharge, clinical visit one month after and phone call one year later. Results: 3,649 patients (81.70% male), mean age 54.15years. ASA II 63.55%. Immediate pain in the first 48 hours in 85% of patients, which was controlled with analgesia; severe pain in 3%, in which steroids and local anaesthetic injected in 1-2 sessions were given when the pain did not abate after 4 weeks in 3 patients; chronic pain in 0% of the patients followed for one year. Discussion: During the first month after surgery only oral analgesics are indicated. After this period and if there is persistence of pain, an alternative to analgesia may be the injection of corticosteroids and a local anaesthetic. Conclusion: The immediate pain after inguinal hernia in elective and ambulatory surgery as well as until the first 3 months require only oral analgesia. Is zero the prevalence of chronic pain in our series (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Experiencia a corto y a largo plazo en la implantación de catéteres de diálisis peritoneal y objetivos establecidos para instaurar la técnica en régimen de cirugía mayor ambulatoria(CMA).Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo durante ocho años. Dos grupos: catéteres tipo Tenckhoff con dos cuff y catéteres tipo Tenckhoff con dos cuff y un lastre final. Peculiaridad quirúrgica: introducción del catéter en una solución antibiótica. Las complicaciones se han dividido en corto y largo plazo en función de que aparecieran o no en la primera semana de implantación. Resultados: Causa más frecuente conocida de insuficiencia renal crónica: diabetes mellitus (9,8%). En el 33,1% (41 catéteres)no hubo ninguna complicación, y destacan el dolor a corto plazo(8,9%) y la peritonitis a largo plazo (8,1%). El 78,4% de los inicialmente implantados no precisaron ser recambiados. Conclusiones: La colocación del catéter peritoneal debe ser realizada en quirófano. La diálisis peritoneal es una técnica segura, eficaz y simple tanto para el cirujano como para el paciente. Presenta escasas complicaciones, fundamentalmente dolor y peritonitis. El catéter se recambia cuando funciona mal o fuga. No existen en la literatura estudios que reflejen la introducción del catéter en una solución antibiótica previo a su colocación. Puede implantarse en régimen de CMA (AU)


Introduction: Our short and long term experience in the implantation of peritoneal catheters is exposed in this study and whether the aims established for ambulatory surgery are fulfilled. Material and methods: An eight year retrospective study. Two groups: catheters type Tenckhoff with two cuffs and catheters type Tenckhoff with two cuffs and a ballast on the end. Surgical peculiarity: the introduction of the catheter in an antibiotic solution. The complications were divided in short and long term depending on when they appeared during the first week of implantation or not. Results: The most frequent reason for chronic renal insufficiency was: diabetes mellitus (9.8%). In 33.1% of cases (41catheters) there were no complications, and only pain on the short-term (8.9%) and peritonitis on the long-term (8.1%).78.43% of the initially implanted catheters did not need to be replaced. Conclusions: The placement of the peritoneal catheter must be done in the operating room.Peritoneal dialysis is a sure, effective and simple technique for the surgeon and for the patient. It presents few complications,mainly pain and peritonitis. The catheter is replaced when it works badly or leaks. There are no studies in the literature that reflectthe introduction of the catheter in an antibiotic solution before its placement. It can be implanted as an AS procedure (AU)
