ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Conocer el método de administración intermitente de un fármaco endovenoso en un servicio de urgencias (SU) y si la retención de fármaco en el equipo de sueroterapia, una vez finalizada la perfusión, repercute sobre la respuesta clínica. Método: Estudio prospectivo, observacional y descriptivo en una primera fase. En una segunda fase ha sido intervencionista y analítico. Fase 1: análisis de la técnica de perfusión y su repercusión en la respuesta terapéutica sobre el paciente. Fase 2: análisis de la técnica de perfusión intermitente tras acción docente de mejora dirigida al personal de enfermería y su repercusión en la respuesta terapéutica sobre el paciente. Fármaco analizado: Paracetamol 1 g/ev. Variables: edad, sexo, peso, minutos de perfusión, volumen residual post-perfusión en los equipos, escala de dolor y/o temperatura basal (15’, 60’y 4 horas), concentración plasmática de paracetamol a las 4 horas. Población de estudio: Individuos de ambos sexos mayores de 15 años de edad que acuden al SU y que se les prescribe paracetamol 1 g/ev. Resultados: Se incluye 119 pacientes, 60 durante la 1ª fase y 59 en la 2ª fase. Ninguna perfusión considerada administrada en su totalidad había sido purgada durante la fase1. El tiempo de administración de la perfusión fue de 25,7 ± 10,9 minutos. La omisión de purga conllevó un volumen (..) (AU)


Objectives: To determine whether acetaminophen is retained inside intravenous infusion bottels and lives after intermittent administration of fluids in the emergency department and whether such retention has an effect on outcomes. Methods: Prospective, observational study in the first phase, followed by a second phase to analyze the effect of technical instruction and intervention. In the first phase, the completeness of intravenous administration of medication and the patient’s response to therapy were recorded. In the second phase, after instruction to improve the staff’s technical performance of intravenous infusion of medication, completeness of administration and patient response were again recorded. The medication studied was acetaminophen (1 g) infused through an intravenous line. Variables recorded were age, sex, weight, duration of infusion, residual volume left in the intravenous infusion equipment, score on a pain scale and/or temperature (at 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 4 hours), and plasma concentration of acetaminophen at 4 hours. The study population consisted of male and female emergency department patients aged 15 years or older who were prescribed 1 g of intravenous acetaminophen. Results: A total of 119 patients were enrolled; 60 were studied in the first phase and 59 in the second. In the first phase, the infusion equipment failed to draim completely in all cases. Intravenous administration took a mean (SD) of 25.7(10.9) minutes during this phase and omission of a flush maneuver at the end led to leaving a mean residual volume of12.65 (2.95) mL in the system. The mean plasma concentration of acetaminophen in the first phase (no instruction to flush the line) was 4.28 (5.04) mg/ìL; in the second phase, after the staff had been instructed to flush the system, the mean plasma concentration was 5,27 (..)
