ABSTRACT

Resumen: Mientras el mundo enfrenta una pandemia por el agente vírico 2019-nCoV, las áreas críticas como la unidad quirúrgica se deben preparar para evitar la contaminación del personal de atención médica y el entorno. Los objetivos de este artículo son presentar las recomendaciones actuales para el uso de equipo de protección personal, dar a conocer los dispositivos útiles en la práctica de la anestesia y explicar las modificaciones y adecuaciones que se deben hacer a los recursos humanos y a los materiales dentro del área quirúrgica.


Abstract: While the world is facing a pandemic caused by the virus 2019-nCoV, critical hospital areas like the surgical unit must be ready to prevent contamination of the environment and the healthcare provider. The main purpose of this article is to review the current recommendations for using personal protection equipment, introduce devices that can prove useful for the practice of anesthesia and to explain the modifications and adaptations that must be made to both human and material resources in the surgical unit.

ABSTRACT

Background: Peripheral venous vascular catheters (PVC) are devices that are not free of complications, and CDC, Atlanta, recommendations are followed in order to prevent them. However, available information in Chile on this matter is scarce. Objective: To evaluate if management of PVC fulfill safety recommendations in adult patients in a general hospital. Methods: Cross-sectional study evaluating compliance with 4 measures: patch condition, circuit condition, justification of PVC and registration of the device on medical records. Results: We evaluated 102 PVC, and 45.1% met all the measures assessed. Deficiencies were identified in 54.9% and included shortfalls in every one of the 4 topics measured. Compliance among those with iv sets was higher in comparison with those using mechanical valve needleless connectors (2.5 vs 1.9 points in a scale from 0 to 4; p < 0.001). In addition, compliance decreased progressively along time of use (Pearson coefficient -0.4; p < 0.05). Conclusions: Deficiencies on the safety management of PVC were frequent in clinical practice and worsen with days. Needleless mechanical connectors use is associated with a lower compliance.


Introducción: Los catéteres vasculares venosos periféricos (CVP) son dispositivos que no están libres de complicaciones. Para prevenir estas complicaciones, los equipos de salud han usado las recomendaciones emanadas de los Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) de Atlanta, EUA. Sin embargo, la información disponible en Chile sobre el manejo de los CVP es fragmentaria. Objetivo: Evaluar las condiciones de seguridad de estos dispositivos en pacientes adultos en un hospital general. Material y Método: Estudio transversal con evaluación de CVP según cumplimiento de cuatro medidas: condición del parche, condición del circuito, justificación del uso del CVP y registro apropiado. Resultados: Se evaluaron 102 CVP. Sólo el 45,1% cumplía con todas las medidas evaluadas. Se encontraron deficiencias en las cuatro medidas evaluadas. El cumplimiento en CVP con circuito de fleboclisis fue superior respecto a aquellos con conectores con válvula mecánica (2,5 vs 1,9 puntos en una escala de 0 a 4 puntos, p < 0,001). Se observó reducción en el grado de cumplimiento a medida que trascurre el tiempo del CVP (coeficiente de Pearson -0,4; p < 0,05). Conclusiones: Se constataron deficiencias frecuentes en el manejo de los CVP, las que empeoran a medida que pasan los días. El uso de conectores mecánicos se asocia a una disminución del proceso de supervisión.

ABSTRACT

The incidence of contrast medium extravasation at the venipuncture site has increased with the generalized use of automatic injectors. Most extravasations only cause slight edema and erythema. Nevertheless, in some cases extravasation can result in severe skin lesions or even in compartment syndrome. Lesions caused by extravasation usually resolve spontaneously with conservative treatment. Although the complications of extravasation are well known, institutional protocols are normally lacking and the criteria for taking action and the type of treatment, whether based on the literature or personal preferences, tend to vary. In this article, we review the incidence, risk factors, clinical manifestations, and options for preventing and treating contrast medium extravasation in soft tissues. Finally, we present the protocol we use to manage extravasation at our hospital.
