ABSTRACT

Introducción. La planificación anticipada de decisiones (PAD) permite afrontar los problemas de salud de las personas que han perdido la capacidad para el consentimiento informado. Se ha mostrado especialmente útil en la atención al final de la vida. El objetivo de este estudio es conocer la prevalencia de la PAD en los pacientes con enfermedades crónicas graves. Material y método. Revisión de las historias clínicas de pacientes con demencia, esclerosis lateral amiotrófica; enfermedad de Parkinson; enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica o enfermedad intersticial pulmonar; insuficiencia cardíaca, insuficiencia renal crónica en tratamiento con diálisis y enfermedad oncológica, todas ellas en fase avanzada. Se han recogido los datos sobre documentos de voluntades anticipadas o decisiones previas registradas por el médico responsable según la situación clínica prevista. Resultados. Han participado 135 pacientes. Hay algún tipo de registro sobre la PAD en 22 pacientes (16,3%). En la mayoría estaba previsto no iniciar ningún tipo de tratamiento vital en caso de alto riesgo de muerte próxima y ausencia de capacidad para tomar decisiones. Solamente 2 pacientes disponían de un documento formal de voluntades anticipadas con validez legal. Conclusión. El registro de la PAD es relativamente escaso, y esto puede afectar a la toma de decisiones de acuerdo con los valores personales de los pacientes cuando se hallen sin la capacidad suficiente para ejercer el consentimiento informado (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Advanced care planning (ACP) helps in make decisions on the health problems of people who have lost the capacity for informed consent. It has proven particularly useful in addressing the end of life. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of ACP in patients with severe chronic diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Review of medical records of patients with dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or interstitial lung disease, heart failure, chronic kidney disease on dialysis and cancer, all in advanced stages. We collected data on living wills or registered prior decisions by the physician according to clinical planned. RESULTS: A total of 135 patients were studied. There was a record of ACP in 22 patients (16.3%). In most of them it was planned not to start any vital treatment in the event of high risk of imminent death and lacking the ability to make decisions. Only two patients were had a legal living will. CONCLUSION: The registration of ACP is relatively low, and this can affect decision-making in accordance with the personal values of patients when they do not have the capacity to exercise informed consent.
