RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Acute appendicitis (AA) is the most frequent surgical pathology in pediatrics. However, publications discussing the most adequate antibiotic therapy for AA prophylaxis and treatment in children are limited. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of patients under 14 years of age hospitalized as a result of AA was carried out. The periods pre- and post- implementation of an antimicrobial optimization program (AOPR) were compared. The pre-AOPR period went from September 2017 to March 2019, while the post-AOPR period went from April 2019 to September 2019. RESULTS: 206 patients were included, 139 in the pre-AOPR group, and 67 in the post-AOPR group. Dual therapy (ceftriaxone + metronidazole) and single therapy (cefoxitin) were more commonly used in the post-AOPR group (p= 0.0001), with reduced use of amoxicillin + clavulanic acid and piperacillin + tazobactam as an empirical therapy (p= 0.0001). To determine whether conversion to oral therapy was feasible or not, a number of clinical (no fever, sustained transit, adequate tolerance with satisfactory oral pain control) and blood test (a 20-50% CRP decrease from its highest level and a ≤ 12,000/mm3 leukocyte count) criteria were established. This allowed conversion to oral treatment to increase in the post-AOPR period (p=0.03). No differences in terms of hospital stay or complications were found between periods, but narrower spectrum oral antimicrobials were used earlier in the post-AOPR period. CONCLUSIONS: Implementing an AOPR for surgical pathologies and establishing protocols adapted to the resistance and microbiological profile found at each unit is strongly recommended.


INTRODUCCION: La apendicitis aguda (AA) es la patología quirúrgica más frecuente en Pediatría. Las publicaciones sobre la antibioterapia más adecuada como profilaxis y tratamiento de la AA en niños son limitadas. MATERIAL Y METODOS: Se realizó un análisis retrospectivo en pacientes menores de 14 años hospitalizados con AA. Se comparó el período previo a la implantación del programa de optimización del uso de los antimicrobianos (PROA), pre-PROA (septiembre 2017-marzo 2019) y posterior, post-PROA (abril 2019-septiembre 2019). RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 206 pacientes: 139 del período pre-PROA y 67 post-PROA. Destacamos la mayor utilización de biterapia (ceftriaxona y metronidazol) y monoterapia (cefoxitina) en el período post-PROA (p= 0,0001), con reducción del uso de amoxicilina-clavulánico y piperacilina-tazobactam como terapia empírica (p= 0,0001). Para determinar el paso a terapia oral, se estableció el cumplimento de criterios clínicos (estado afebril, tránsito mantenido, tolerancia oral adecuada y con buen control del dolor vía oral) y analíticos (descenso de la PCR al menos un 20-50% del valor máximo y leucocitos ≤ 12.000/mm3). Esto permitió un incremento de la secuenciación del tratamiento oral en el período post-PROA (p= 0,03). No hubo diferencias en la estancia hospitalaria ni complicaciones entre ambos períodos, aunque se emplearon antimicrobianos de menor espectro con terapia oral de forma más precoz en la etapa post-PROA. CONCLUSIONES: Es recomendable la implementación del PROA en patologías quirúrgicas y elaborar protocolos adaptados al perfil microbiológico y resistencias de cada unidad.

RESUMO

Background: Umbilical cord haematomas may result in mortality or significant morbidity due to interference with vital fetal blood flow. Case report: We present a massive umbilical haematoma in a asymptomatic neonate without risk factors or hypoxic event. Conclusion: Although massive umbilical haematomas may result in miscarriage and fetal hypoxia, in some cases there may be no complications.
