    Abstract Resumen Introducción y Objetivo La cantidad de procedimientos mínimamente invasivos realizados fuera del quirófano ha crecido en las últimas décadas. La sedación, la analgesia o ambas, pueden ser nece- sarias para muchos de estos procedimientos de intervención o diagnóstico. Sin embargo, y hasta donde hemos podido conocer, no hay experiencia en el uso de sedoanalgesia para procedimientos (SAP) en pacientes con quemaduras faciales que necesitan desbridamiento enzimático El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar la eficacia y la seguridad de la SAP para el control del dolor en pacientes con quemaduras faciales sometidos a tratamiento con desbridamiento enzimático. Material y Método Describimos 16 casos de pacientes adultos con quemaduras en cara y cuello que necesitaron desbridamiento enzimático. Cuatro pacientes sin ventilación mecánica fueron tratados con SAP. Resultados La SAP generalmente requiere combinación de múltiples agentes para alcanzar los efectos deseados de analgesia más ansiolisis. El procedimiento fue bien tolerado y los pacientes no sufrieron complicaciones. Conclusiones Presentamos la SAP como opción para el desbridamiento enzimático de quemaduras faciales en pacientes adultos sin ventilación mecánica.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the use and clinical impact of tracheostomy in burn patients. Summary Background Data: The role of tracheostomy in the management of burn patients is controversial, with only a few recent studies conducted in this population. Methods: Retrospective study of all adult burn patients who underwent a tracheostomy in a Burns Unit between 1995 and 2013. These were compared with a control group (1:1) who underwent orotracheal intubation. Hospital records were reviewed to obtain demographic and clinical information, including those related to respiratory support and tracheostomy. The McNemar′s Chi-square and Signed-Rank Tests were used to study differences in morbimortality between both groups. Results: A total of n = 20 patients underwent tracheostomy (0.9% of admissions, 56.0 ± 19.5 years, 60.0% women). The most common indication was long-term ventilation (75%), 24.6 ± 19.7 days after admission. Thirteen patients were successfully decannulated with a fatal complication observed in one case. Patients in the tracheostomy group were found to require longer-term mechanical ventilation (43.2 vs. 20.4 days; P = 0.004), with no differences in respiratory infection rates (30.0% vs. 31.6%; P = 0.687) or mortality (30.0% vs. 42.1%; P = 0.500). Ventilator weaning times (15.7 vs. 3.3 days; P = 0.001) and hospital stays (99.1 vs. 53.1 days; P = 0.030) were longer in the tracheostomy group, with no differences in duration of sedation. Conclusions: Tracheostomy may be a safe procedure in burn patients and is not associated with higher rates of mortality or respiratory infection. Tracheostomy patients showed longer mechanical ventilation times and higher morbidity, probably not attributable to tracheostomy.

    Abstract Background: Patients with acute traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCIs) exhibit factors that, in other populations, have been associated with rhabdomyolysis. Purpose: The aim of the study is to determine the incidence of rhabdomyolysis in patients with acute traumatic SCI admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), as well as the development of secondary acute kidney injury and associated factors. Study Design and Setting: This was an observational, retrospective study. Patient Sample: All adult patients admitted to the ICU with acute traumatic SCI who presented rhabdomyolysis, diagnosed through creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels >500 IU/L. Outcome Measures: Incidence of rhabdomyolysis and subsequent renal dysfunction was calculated. Materials and Methods: Data about demographic variables, comorbidity, rhabdomyolysis risk factors, and variables involving SCI, severity scores, and laboratory parameters were obtained from clinical records. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify renal injury risk factors. Results: In 2006–2014, 200 patients with acute SCI were admitted to ICU. Of these, 103 had rhabdomyolysis (incidence = 51.5%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 44.3%–58.7%). The most typical American Spinal Injury Association classification was A (70.3%). The injury severity score was 30.3 ± 12.1 and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score was 5.6 ± 3.3 points. During their stay, 57 patients (55.3%; 95% CI: 45.2%–65.4%) presented renal dysfunction (creatinine ≥1.2 mg/dL). In the multivariate analysis, variables associated with renal dysfunction were creatinine at admission (odds ratio [OR] = 9.20; P = 0.006) and hemodynamic SOFA score the day following admission (OR = 1.33; P = 0.024). Creatinine was a better predictor of renal dysfunction than the peak CPK value during the rhabdomyolysis (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve: 0.91 vs. 0.63, respectively). Conclusions: Rhabdomyolysis is a frequent condition in patients with acute traumatic SCI admitted to the ICU, and renal dysfunction occurs in half of the cases. Creatinine values should be requested starting at the admission while neither the peak CPK values nor the hemodynamic SOFA scores could be used to properly discriminate between patients with and without renal dysfunction.

    Abstract The maternal and perinatal fetal prognosis of preeclampsia depends on the gestational age of the fetus at onset, the severity of the disease, the quality of care, and the presence of pre-existent medical conditions. One of the uncommon effects of severe preeclampsia on the eye is sudden loss of vision. The present case report is of a woman with severe preeclampsia exacerbated by delivery that coursed with difficult-to-control arterial hypertension and reversible cortical amaurosis without impaired consciousness or seizures.

    Abstract Clostridium difficile es la causa más común de diarrea infecciosa en instituciones sanitarias de adultos. Estudios recientes han mostrado un incremento en la incidencia, gravedad y recurrencia de la infección por C. difficile (ICD).Factores asociados al paciente y a la atención sanitaria contribuyen a establecer la colonización y en algunos casos la posterior progresión a enfermedad sintomática. La disponibilidad de nuevas técnicas microbiológicas ha contribuido en gran medida a mejorar el manejo de estos pacientes. Se muestra un algoritmo diagnóstico ante la sospecha de ICD basándose en la evidencia actual sobre la rentabilidad de métodos microbiológicos y radiológicos. Ante la confirmación clínica de ICD la primera medida y la más eficaz es la retirada del tratamiento antimicrobiano que tenga el paciente, si es posible. El tratamiento antimicrobiano de la ICD se basa en tres agentes clásicos, metronidazol, vancomicina y teicoplanina, y uno de reciente incorporación, fidaxomicina. En los cuadros graves se deberán instaurar medidas de soporte y monitorización adecuadas y pueden ser subsidiarios de tratamiento quirúrgico. Las estrategias de prevención y control de la infección permiten interrumpir el mecanismo de transmisión. Este manuscrito revisa la evidencia actualsobre el abordaje de esta entidad desde un punto de vista multidisciplinario. Clostridium difficile is the most common cause of infectious diarrhea in adults healthcare institutions. Recent studies have shown an increase in the incidence, severity and recurrence of C. difficile infection (CDI). Factors associated with the patient and medical care provided contribute to establishing colonization and, in some cases, subsequent progression to symptomatic disease. The availability of new microbiological techniques has contributed greatly to improving care for these patients. A diagnostic algorithm is provided for cases in which CDI is suspected based on current evidence regarding the effectiveness of microbiological and radiological methods. In cases in which CDI is confirmed, the first and most effective measure is the withdrawal of any antibiotic treatment the patient is receiving, if possible. The antimicrobial treatment of CDI is based on three classic agents: metronidazole, vancomycin and teicoplanin, along with the recent addition of fidaxomicin. Patients presenting serious symptoms, in addition to appropriate support and monitoring measures, may require surgical treatment. Infection prevention and control strategies can interrupt the transmission mechanism. This manuscript reviews current evidence on the approach of this entity from a multidisciplinary point of view.

    Abstract Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) often lead to impairment of the respiratory system and, consequently, restrictive respiratory changes. Paresis or paralysis of the respiratory muscles can lead to respiratory insufficiency, which is dependent on the level and completeness of the injury. Respiratory complications include hypoventilation, a reduction in surfactant production, mucus plugging, atelectasis, and pneumonia. Vital capacity (VC) is an indicator of overall pulmonary function; patients with severely impaired VC may require assisted ventilation. It is best to proceed with intubation under controlled circumstances rather than waiting until the condition becomes an emergency. Mechanical ventilation can adversely affect the structure and function of the diaphragm. Early tracheostomy following short orotracheal intubation is probably beneficial in selected patients. Weaning should start as soon as possible, and the best modality is progressive ventilator-free breathing (PVFB). Appropriate candidates can sometimes be freed from mechanical ventilation by electrical stimulation. Respiratory muscle training regimens may improve patients’ inspiratory function following a SCI.
