ABSTRACT

Se analizan 19 pacientes ingresados con el diagnóstico de asfixia por inmersión entre el 31 de diciembre de 1983 y el 31 de diciembre de 1987 con una edad promedio de 2 años 3 meses. Al momento del rescate todos los niños tenían cianosis y 16 apnea, pero sólo 11 recibieron algún tipo de reanimación, siendo ésta adecuada sólo en 4. Siete pacientes ingresaron en etapa A de Coon, 2 en etapa B y 10 en etapa C. En 6 casos se efectuó monitoría de la presión intracraneana, demostrándose hipertensión en dos, que fallecieron. Cinco pacientes desarrollaron edema pulmonar no cardiogénico y 4 presentaron hipotensión arterial acentuada en las primeras 24 horas, requiriendo fluidoterapia, coloides y medicamentos inotrópicos. Cuatro pacientes fallecieron, todos estaban en etapa C al ingreso. Sólo un paciente quedó con secuelas neurológicas definitivas. En las primeras horas siguientes a la reanimación, las principales complicaciones fueron la inestabilidad hemodinámica, los trastornos respiratorios y los derivados de la encefalopatía hipóxica. El aumento de la PIC no fue un problema precoz, cuando se presentó lo hizo en forma tardía, 24 a 48 horas después de la inmersión. Se subraya la necesidad de fomentar la prevención, mejorar los programas de transporte y educación de técnicas de reanimación básica

ABSTRACT

Nineteen childhood near drowning cases admitted to a private general hospital from December 31, 1983 through out December 1987 at a mean age of 2 years 3 months are discussed. All patients had diagnosis when first found by relatives, 16 were apneic and only 11 received some kind of resuscitation which complied with accepted standards in 4 of them. Seven cases were admitted in stage A of Conn, two in stage B and ten in stage C. In six children in stage C intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring was done and ICP was increased in two that died. Five patients developed clinical and radiological evidence of non cardiogenic pulmonary edema and 4 had hypotension sometime along the first 24 hours, requiring fluid therapy and inotropic drugs. Four patients died, all of them were in stage C when admitted. One child shows severe brain damage four years after discharge. The main complications after resuscitation were hemodynamic instability, pulmonary problems and hypoxic encephalopathy. High ICP was not important in the first hours and when it rose it did so 24 to 48 hours after admission. The need for an active role in prevention, improved resuscitation and transport, is stressed.
