ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Valorar la repercusión y comportamiento de los niveles séricos de factores proinflamatorios con respecto a la aparición de complicaciones médico–quirúrgicas en pacientes politraumatizados. Material y métodos: se incluyeron 18 pacientes politraumatizados, 10 hombres y 8 mujeres, con 2 o más fracturas óseas y un ISS>16, con edad media de 42 años y cuyo mecanismo lesional más frecuente fue el accidente de tráfico (44%). El valor medio del ISS fue de 26,83 y de 33,72 para el NISS. Se recogieron datos demográficos, lesiones ocasionadas, intervenciones quirúrgicas realizadas, datos de evolución, complicaciones y secuelas. Se analizó en sangre, leucocitos, fibrinógeno, proteína C reactiva, TNFα, interleucina 1β, interleucina 6, proteína de choque térmico HSP70i y anticuerpos antiHSP70i. Resultados: Los valores de TNFα, tienen una curva ascendente, con un aumento de la pendiente a partir de las 48 horas del traumatismo. La IL-1‚ mostró el pico máximo en la primera medición inmediatamente después del traumatismo, para disminuir de manera progresiva. La IL-6 presentó cifras por encima de 500 pg/ml. Los niveles séricos elevados de HSP70i máximos en el momento inicial para disminuir en las siguientes 48 horas. Conclusiones: Las curvas de reacción de factores proinflamatorios establecidas servirán de base para futuros estudios que los afiancen como biomarcadores de politraumatismo (AU)


Objective: To evaluate the repercussion and behavior of the serum levels of proinflammatory factors in relation to the appearance of clinical-surgical complications in polytraumatized patients. Material and methods: The study comprised 18 polytraumatized patients, 10 males and 8 females, with two or more bone fractures and an injury severity score (ISS) >16, and with a mean age of 42 years, in which traffic accidents were the main cause of injury (44%). The mean ISS was 26.83, with a new injury severity score (NISS) of 33.72. Demographic data were collected, together with information on the injuries produced, the surgical interventions, outcome, complications and sequelae. Blood tests were performed to record leukocyte count, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, TNF·, interleukin 1‚, interleukin 6, heat shock protein HSP70i and antiHSP70i antibodies. Results: The TNF· values showed an ascending tendency, with an increase in slope starting 48 hours after trauma. IL-1 in turn showed a maximum value on occasion of the first measurement immediately after injury, followed by a gradual decrease. IL-6 showed values above 500 pg/ml. Peak serum HSP70i elevation were recorded at first determination, followed by a decrease over the following 48 hours. Conclusions: The established proinflammatory factor response curves will serve as a basis for future studies to consolidate them as biomarkers applicable to polytraumatized patients (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to compare two 27-gauge anesthesia needles with different points (a Whitacre-type point and a Quincke-type point) and to assess the incidences of postdural puncture headache (PDPH), puncture difficulty and failed anesthesia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospective, randomized and double-blind trial enrolled 1,555 patients receiving spinal anesthesia for lower abdominal surgery. No age limits were established. A 27-gauge Whitacre-point needle was used in group I (n = 748) and a 27-gauge Quincke-point needle was used in group II (n = 774). RESULTS: The incidences of PDPH were significantly different in groups I (0.53%) and II (1.85%) (p < 0.01). Puncture was easy in 84.89% of the procedures in group I and in 78.81% in group II (p < 0.01). The number of cases in which a puncture could not be accomplished was similar in the two groups (2.41% in group I and 2.07% in group II). The number of failed anesthetic procedures was also similar (0.96% in group I and 1.45% in group II). CONCLUSIONS: When a 27-gauge Whitacre-point needle is used, fewer cases of PDPH develop and the puncture is easier to accomplish than when a Quincke-point needle is used. The number of failed anesthetic procedures is similar with both needles. Whitacre-point 27-gauge needles are preferable to Quincke-point 27-gauge needles.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: El propósito de este estudio es comparar dos agujas de anestesia espinal del mismo calibre (27G) y distinta punta (tipo Whitacrey tipo Quincke) y evaluar la incidencia de cefalea postpunción dura l (CPPD ), la dificultad de la punción y las anestesias fallidas . MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio prospectivo, aleatorio y ciego sobre 1.555 pacientes sometidos a anestesia subaracnoidea para cirugía infraumbilical. No se establecieron límites de edad. Se dividieron en dos grupos según el tipo de aguja: Grupo I (27G con punta tipo Whitacre; n=748) y Grupo II (27G con punta tipo Quincke; n=774). RESULTADOS: La incidencia de CPPD fue del 0,53 por ciento en el Grupo I y del 1,85 por ciento en el Grupo II, diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p<0,01). En el Grupo I se registraron un 84,89 por ciento de punciones fáciles frente a un 78,81 por ciento en el Grupo II (p<0,01). No hubo diferencia significativa en cuanto a las punciones imposibles (Grupo I: 2,41 por ciento y Grupo II: 2,07 por ciento) ni en las anestesias fallidas (0,96 por ciento en el Grupo I y 1,45 por ciento en el Grupo II). CONCLUSIONES: Las agujas de calibre 27G con punta tipo Whitacre producen menos CPPD, la punción es más fácil y hay un número semejante de anestesias fallidas que con las de punta tipo Quinc ke. En el calibre 27G, las agujas con punta tipo Whitacre son preferibles a las de punta tipo Quincke (AU)
