RESUMEN
Se realizó una investigación retrospectiva de tipo analítica en la que se incluyeron todos los pacientes adultos mayores fallecidos intrahospitalariamente en el período posoperatorio, sometidos a una cirugía mayor con anestesia general o regional, de forma programada, urgente o emergente, en el Servicio de Cirugía General del Hospital Provincial Clinicoquirúrgico Docente "Celia Sánchez Manduley" de Manzanillo, Cuba, durante el año 2001. El incremento de la edad aunque estadísticamente significativo no fue determinante en la aparición de la mortalidad, está última aumentó en la medida que se incrementó el grado del estado físico. Las operaciones realizadas de urgencia y las enfermedades malignas se asociaron a un aumento en el número de fallecidos, la suma de ambos predictores elevó el riesgo de morir hasta 76,50 veces. El mayor número de pacientes falleció en las primeras 72 horas del posoperatorio y la sepsis fue la causa directa de muerte más encontrada(AU)
ABSTRACT
It was made a retrospective analytical research that included all the elderly patients that had died intrahospitally in the postoperative period and that had undergone major programmed or emergency surgery with general or regional anesthesia at the General Surgery Service of "Celia Sánchez Manduley" Provincial Clinical and Surgical Teaching Hosptital, in Manzanillo, during 2001. Although age increase was statistically significant, it was not determinant in the appearance of mortality, which grew as the physical state degree raised. The emergency operations and the malignant diseases were associated with a rise in the number of deaths. The sum of both predictors elevated the death risk 76.50 times. Most of the patients died in the first 72 hours of the postoperative and sepsis was the most common direct cause of death(AU)
