ABSTRACT

The clinical importance of procedures for transvenous lead extraction has increased greatly because the volume of cardiac implantable electronic devices has increased. Consequently, the number of device-related complications requiring lead extraction has also been increasing. Great improvements in lead extraction techniques have occurred in recent years with the development of transvenous lead extraction tools and techniques. Experienced centres can achieve high success rates with infrequent complications. However, even in experienced hands, life-threatening complications can occur, and any physician performing these procedures must be prepared and trained for such eventualities. Moreover, because the occurrence of these stressful situations cannot be accurately predicted, training obtained in simulated environments can be decisive. We have developed a training module that simulates all the ordered steps of a transvenous lead extraction procedure and thus is able to help surgeons refine their surgical techniques and improve their performance.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Verificar si el manejo de las crisis hiperglicémicas se realizan de acuerdo a una Guía de Práctica Clínica en un hospital general docente. Material y métodos. Se revisó las historias clínicas de pacientes con el diagnóstico de crisis hiperglicémicas y se evaluó el tratamiento durante el periodo agudo de acuerdo a lo recomendado por la guía de la Asociación Norteamericana de Diabetes mediante una lista de chequeo, en el Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia de Lima, que ingresaron en los años de 2010 a 2012.Resultados. De 98 historias clínicas seleccionadas, 73 (74,5%) correspondieron a cetoacidosis diabética, 9 (9,2%) a estado hiperosmolar hiperglicémico y 16 (16,3%) a estado mixto. El promedio de edad fue 47,97±17,11 años y 49 (50%) fueron varones. Fue debut de diabetes en 47 (48%) pacientes. Se evidenció que 80 (81,6%) recibieron hidratación como se indicaba en la guía durante la primera hora de tratamiento; hidratación de mantenimiento, 76 (77,6%) pacientes; y finalmente, se agregó dextrosa adecuadamente en 86 (87,8%) pacientes. Recibieron el bolo de 0,1 UI/Kg, 53 (54,1%) y 81 (82,7%) estuvieron con infusión de insulina a 0,1 UI/Kg/h. Sobre la evaluación global del manejo de la crisis hiperglicémica, solo 8 (8,1%) de los pacientes recibieron el tratamiento acorde a lo recomendado. Conclusión. Las crisis hiperglicémicas que se presentaron en el hospital no se manejaron acorde a las recomendaciones de una Guía de Práctica Clínica.
