ABSTRACT

Objetivos. El conocimiento de la nutrición artificial es un apartado obligatorio en la formación de los especialistas en medicina intensiva por su importancia en el tratamiento del paciente crítico. En el presente estudio se pretende valorar la formación recibida y el grado de conocimientos adquiridos entre los intensivistas de nuestra área. Métodos. Se llevó a cabo una encuesta en tiempo real entre los intensivistas de cinco hospitales de nuestra región. La encuesta constaba de 29 ítems, divida en tres apartados: formación, conocimientos generales y conocimientos en el paciente crítico. Resultados. Se recogieron 52 encuestas (38 especialistas y 14 médicos residentes, o MIR).De ellos, un 83 por ciento había recibido formación sobre el tema durante el período MIR, pero el 66 por ciento la consideraba insuficiente. Esta opinión era significativamente mayor (p < 0,05) en el grupo MIR. Un 66 por ciento de los encuestados adecuaba las dietas a las características del paciente, pero sólo conocían y manejaban "toda" la gama de productos de cada tipo de nutrición un 25 por ciento en el caso de las dietas orales, un 22 por ciento en el de la nutrición enteral y un 36 por ciento en el de la nutrición parenteral. La nota media (desviación estándar [DE]) en el conocimiento de nutrición en el paciente crítico fue de 6,19 (1,80), significativamente mayor (p < 0,05) en los especialistas que en los MIR. Conclusiones. La formación en nutrición se recibe fundamentalmente en el período MIR, aunque en general se considera que es insuficiente. La mayoría de los profesionales utiliza correctamente las dietas existentes. Por último, el grado de conocimientos es medio, y es significativamente mayor en los profesionales con más experiencia (AU)

ABSTRACT

We describe the case of a 56-year-old man who developed acute hypertension leading to cardiac insufficiency, arrhythmia, severe heart failure and death. The autopsy revealed Sipple's syndrome (multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type IIa) and catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy. This man had received a false diagnosis of primary hypertension 1 year before. The prime objective of this report is to call attention to the necessity of an in depth diagnosis of labile and paroxysmal hypertension. The clinical diagnostic features of phaeochromocytoma as well as the main therapeutic approaches suggested in the literature are commented on.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To know HIV-AIDS patient's nutritional status in different infection's condition and their relation with the socioeconomic situation and, in that case, the nutritional condition improvement through the dietetic advice appropriated for each patient. METHODS: Prospective study of 79 patients with HIV-AIDS diagnostic in any illness's condition and recopilation of anthropometrics and biochemical variables. At the beginning of the study we got data about socioeconomic situation of patient with a scale of 1 to 5 points each variable and an score top of 35. In the survivors we checked, after dietetic advice, the variables at 6 and 12 months by sanitary personal (physician and nurse) who weren't implicated in direct assistance. The study was analyzed by Student "T" for matched data and the simple correlation test. RESULTS: We have objectivated a lost of initial weight over their habitual's with a progressive impairment in different stage of evolution that weren't modified by dietetic advice. We didn't observed significant variations in the biochemical variables included in advances states and in parameters which are usually affected in malnutrition. In the analysis of relation between nutritional condition and socioeconomic factors, it was estimated a lesser score, that was statistically significative, in patients who had a work, family situation and an affective upset positive. CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained induce to think that the nutritional advices appropriated for each patient are not related, in our series, with progressive deterioration of anthropometrics variables, neither biochemical parameters fluctuations at 6, 12 months of follow-up. The patient's socioeconomic situation is not influenced by nutritional condition except for the work, affectivity and family environment.
