ABSTRACT

Félix Varela, fue hombre que se devela como precursor de variadas actividades, y no solo como patriota de ideas independentistas que legó a su patria los fundamentos de un pensamiento revolucionario radical, que tenía como centro la independencia y la abolición de la esclavitud, también se incluye entre los primeros de la epidemiología hospitalaria en Cuba. Con sus conocimientos, como observador no profesional de la medicina y de la dinámica hospitalaria, supo identificar las situaciones en que se asistían en un hospital de su época y proponer soluciones correctas para ellas(AU)


Felix Varela was a man who has revealed as the precursor of many activities, not only as a patriot of emancipating ideas who bequeathed to his homeland the fundaments of the radical revolutionary thoughts, having as a center the independence and the slavery abolition, but he is also considered one of the beginners of the hospitalary epidemiology in Cuba. With his knowledge, as a no professional observer of the medicine and the hospitalary dynamics, he identified the situations that took place in the hospitals of his epoch and proposed correct solutions for them(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objective. To evaluate the incidence of adverse cutaneous drug reactions in intensive care unit patients. Design. Cohort study. Setting. General adult intensive care unit of an institutional tertiary care hospital. Patients. Patients in the intensive care unit during a consecutive 8-month period were examined for adverse cutaneous drug reactions. Results. Patients in the intensive care unit have an incidence of 11.6% of adverse cutaneous drug reactions. Associated risk factors were female gender, obesity, age over 60 and immune dysregulation (systemic lupus erythematosus, dysthyroidism, and antiphospholipid antibodies syndrome). Few patients had previous history of adverse cutaneous drug reactions. Antimicrobials were the main drug involved. Morbilliform rash followed by urticary were the most frequently observed reactions. Interestingly, over 50% of patients with massive edema -independent of etiology- died. Conclusions. Intensive care unit patients are particularly at risk for developing an adverse cutaneous drug reaction.


Se realizó un estudio de cohorte en la Unidad de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) de un hospital de tercer nivel para evaluar la incidencia de reacciones cutáneas adversas a drogas. Se examinaron todos los pacientes internados en dicha unidad durante un periodo consecutivo de ocho meses. Observamos una incidencia de reacciones adversas a medicamentos de 11.6%. Los factores de riesgo asociados fueron sexo femenino, obesidad, edad mayor a 60 años y alteraciones inmu-nológicas (lupus eritematoso sistémico, distiroidismo y síndrome de antifosfolípido). Los antimicrobianos fueron los principales medicamentos involucrados. La erupción morbiliforme y la urticaria fueron las reacciones más frecuentes. Un hallazgo interesante fue que más de 50% de los pacientes con anasarca fallecieron. Concluimos que los pacientes internados en la UTI son particularmente susceptibles para desarrollar una reacción adversa cutánea a medicamentos.
