ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze, detect and classify potential drug interactions in patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit. METHODS: This prospective observational cohort study of septic patients was conducted between April 2010 and August 2011. Data collection included demographic characteristics, clinical features, and analysis of pharmacotherapy. RESULTS: Of 86 patients, 80% had potential drug interactions, with a mean of 1.84 ± 1.09 interaction per patient. Regarding the classification of drug interactions, 64.2% had a pharmacodynamic profile, 60% were of major severity, 53.3% had a rapid onset of action, and 53.8% had good documentation. The prevalence of interactions was associated with age, number of drugs prescribed, and length of stay in the intensive care unit (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: This study showed that drug interactions represent an important clinical concern in septic patients admitted to intensive care units.


Objetivo: Analizar, detectar y clasificar las potenciales interacciones medicamentosas (IMs) en pacientes con cuadro de sepsis internados en la Unidad de Terapia Intensiva. Método: El diseño de este estudio fue una cohorte prospectiva y observacional en pacientes sépticos, durante el periodo de abril de 2010 a agosto de 2011. La recolección de datos incluyó datos demográficos, clínicos y análisis de la terapéutica farmacológica. Resultados: De los 86 pacientes, 80% presentaron potenciales IMs, con una media de 1,84 ± 1,09 interacciones por paciente. En cuanto a la clasificación de las IMs, 64,2% presentaron perfil farmacodinámico, 60% gravedad mayor, 53% inicio rápido y 53,8% buena documentación científica. La prevalencia de las interacciones se asociaron con la edad, el número de medicamentos prescriptos y la duración de la internación. Conclusión: El estudio demostró que las interacciones medicamentosas representan una importante preocupación clínica en pacientes sépticos internados en unidades de terapia intensiva.
