ABSTRACT

La necesidad de servicios de cuidados prolongados a adultos mayores origina la actividad de ayuda no profesional y a la figura del cuidador principal informal. El objetivo de la investiga-ción fue describir el perfil del cuidador principal informal acompañante del paciente a consulta externa del Hospital de Atención Integral del Adulto Mayor en el último trimestre de 2021. Se hizo un estudio cuantitativo, observacional y descriptivo, en una población de 322 cuidadores principales informales de adultos mayores en el último trimestre de 2021, seleccionando una muestra de 190 individuos mediante un procedimiento del tipo sujetos voluntarios. El instrumento aplicado fue una guía de entrevista estructurada basada en la Encuesta de caracterización del cuidado de la díada cuidador familiar-persona con enfermedad crónica. Existió un predominio del cuidador de sexo femenino (83,2%); los hijos de los adultos mayores (57,9%); las personas casadas (48,9%); los que viven con el adulto mayor (42,6%); aquellos que ejercen esa función desde entre 1 y 6 años (57,9%) y los que dedican hasta 15 horas (58,9%). Además, el 86,3% realiza quehaceres domésticos. Se observó un deterioro de la condición de salud luego de iniciar en las funciones del cuidado y todos mencionaron padecer de alguna enfermedad; sin embargo, prevalecieron los que señalan recibir efectos emocionales positivos a partir del cuidado.


The need for long-term care services for the elderly originates the activity of non-professional help and the figure of the informal primary caregiver. This research aimed to describe the profile of the primary informal caregiver who accompanied the patient to the outpatient clinic of the Hospital de Atención Integral del Adulto Mayor in the last quarter of 2021. A quantitative, obser-vational, and descriptive study was carried out in a population of 322 primary informal caregi-vers of the elderly in the last quarter of 2021, selecting a sample of 190 individuals through a voluntary subject-type procedure. The applied instrument was a structured interview guide based on the Survey of Characterization of the Care of the Family Caregiver-person with a Chro-nic Illness Dyad. The care falls on the woman (83.2%), children (57.9%), married (48.9%), live with the elderly (42.6%), care for up to 4 family members; 17.9% who never receive help, care for between 1 and 6 years and dedicate up to 15 hours. In addition, 86.3% do housework. A dete-rioration of the health condition was observed after starting the care functions, and all of them mentioned suffering from some disease; however, those who reported receiving positive emotio-nal effects from care prevailed

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El pseudoaneurisma es un daño de la pared arterial, contenido por el hematoma circundante y estructuras vecinas, con flujo sanguíneo turbulento, que mantiene comunicación con la luz del vaso afecto. El presente estudio describe un paciente masculino de 57 años, que ingresa con diagnóstico de pseudoaneurisma de fístula arteriovenosa humero cefálica izquierda. Se realiza exéresis del falso aneurisma y creación de nueva fístula con prótesis vascular. El paciente reingresa al quinto mes con masa gigante pulsátil en sitio quirúrgico. Se realiza exploración, exéresis del pseudoaneurisma recidivante y nueva fístula humero-basílica izquierda con vena safena. Evoluciona favorablemente, realizándose diálisis dos años posteriores a la última cirugía sin complicaciones.


ABSTRACT Pseudoaneurysm is damage to the arterial wall, contained by the surrounding hematoma and neighboring structures, with turbulent blood flow, which maintains communication with the lumen of the affected vessel. The present study describes a 57-year-old male patient who was admitted with a diagnosis of left cephalic humeral arteriovenous fistula pseudoaneurysm. The false aneurysm wasexcised, and a new fistula was created with a vascular prosthesis. The patient was readmitted in the fifth month with a giant pulsatile mass at the surgical site. Surgical exploration was performed, excision of the recurrent pseudoaneurysm and a new left humerus-basilic fistula with saphenous vein. He is progressing favorably, performing dialysis two years after the last surgery without complications.

ABSTRACT

Los factores estrés antes son un conjunto de situaciones que des-encadenan consecuencias físicas y mentales en el personal de salud, se generan de una circunstancia mínima y llegan a convertirse en un gran problema que va a afectar tanto a la salud de las enfermeras como a su rendimiento profesional. Objetivo: Se planteó como objetivo analizar los factores que influyen en el estrés de las enfermeras que laboran en el Hospital Básico de Esmeraldas IESS. Materiales y métodos: se realizó bajo un estudio de campo y un alcance descriptivo. La población y muestra estuvo constituida por 30 profesionales de enfermería que laboran en el área de emergencias del mencionado hospital. Se pudo obtener los datos sobre los factores que generan estrés en este profesional de salud a través de una encuesta y como instrumento un cuestionario dirigida al personal de enfermería del área de emergencia. Además, se empleó la observación Directa y como instrumento una guía de observación para analizar el ambiente laboral de las enfermeras y por último se aplicó la técnica de la entrevista con un guion de preguntas a la líder del servicio de emergencias(AU)


Stressors are a set of si-tuations that trigger physical and mental consequences on health personnel; they are generated from a minimal circum-stance and become a major problem that will affect both the health of nurses and their professional performance. Objec-tive: The objective was to analyze the factors that influence the stress of nurses who work at the Basic Hospital of Esme-raldas IESS. Materials and methods: it was carried out under a field study and a descriptive scope. The population and sample consisted of 30 nursing professio-nals who work in the emergency area of the mentioned hospital. The data on the factors that generate stress in this heal-th professional was obtained through a survey and as a tool, a questionnaire ad-dressed to nursing personnel in the emer-gency area. In addition, direct observation was used and as an instrument, an obser-vation guide to analyze the nurses' work environment and finally the interview te-chnique was applied with a script of ques-tions to the leader of the emergency ser-vice. Results: the stressors found were exhaustion, insomnia, work overload, job dissatisfaction, insufficient space; the most prevalent consequences genera-ted by stress are poor diet, insomnia and hair loss. Conclusions: stressors cause instability in nurses' health, conflicts with the health team and trigger poor care for users(AU)

ABSTRACT

Los aneurismas de aorta torácica son menos comunes que los aneurismas de aorta abdominal y pueden encontrarse en aorta ascendente, arco aórtico, aorta descendente o en una combinación de estos segmentos. De estos aneurismas el 30 porciento al 40 porciento se originan en la aorta torácica descendente. En los aneurismas de aorta torácica existe una debilidad estructural de la pared de la aorta, que conlleva una dilatación arterial progresiva con eventual ruptura o disección. Aproximadamente, 50 porciento de los aneurismas de aorta torácica son ateroscleróticos y ocurren como resultado de remodelado arterial y dilatación o a raíz de un metabolismo anormal del colágeno. La mayoría de los aneurismas de aorta torácica se descubren por casualidad durante la evaluación de otros problemas médicos. La meta del tratamiento de los aneurismas de aorta torácica, es prevenir la muerte debido a su ruptura. El riesgo de ruptura de los no tratados oscila entre 46 porciento a 74 porciento y la tasa de mortalidad por su ruptura es extremadamente alta. Los aneurismas de gran tamaño, en especial aquellos mayores de 6 cm, son más susceptibles de rupturas que los aneurismas de menor tamaño. El tratamiento endovascular, inicialmente desarrollado para los aneurismas de aorta abdominal, se introdujo en 1992 como una alternativa menos invasiva al tratamiento de cirugía abierta para los aneurismas de la aorta torácica descendente. En la actualidad, el injerto de stent endovascular en la aorta descendente o endoprótesis, recibe mayor atención como alternativa al reparo quirúrgico de los aneurismas de aorta torácica.


Thoracic aortic aneurysms are less common than abdominal aortic aneurysms and can be found in ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending aorta or in a combination of these segments. 30% to 40% of these aneurysms are originated in thoracic descending aorta. In thoracic aortic aneurysms there exists a structural wall weakness that leads to a progressive arterial dilation with eventual rupture or dissection. Approximately 50% of all thoracic aortic aneurysms are atherosclerotic and are the result of arterial restructure and dilation or are due to an abnormal collagen metabolism. Most thoracic aortic aneurysms are only found by chance during other medical problems evaluation. The goal of thoracic aortic aneurysms treatment is the prevention of death due to its rupture. Ruptured risk of untreated aneurysms oscillates between 46% and 74% and mortality rate due to its rupture is extremely high. Large aneurysms, especially when they are greater than 6 cm in diameter are more susceptible of ruptures than smaller aneurysms. Endovascular treatment, initially developed for abdominal aortic aneurysms, was introduced in 1992 as a less invasive alternative to open surgery treatment for descending thoracic aortic aneurysms. Endovascular stent or endoprosthesis is actually getting more attention as an alternative to surgical repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el propósito del estudio fue evaluar el eficacia de la cirugía de Maze III modificada mediante una pinza de crioablación reutilizable en comparación con el Maze III clásico de corte y sutura, sólo en pacientes con fibrilación auricular permanente, y a la vez realizar cirugía mitral. Métodos: desde mayo de 1993 a abril de 2005, se realizó cirugía de Maze a 134 pacientes, de los cuales 92 presentaban fibrilación auricular permanente y además tenían cirugía de la válvula mitral. En el grupo clásico de Maze se incluyeron 71 pacientes (grupo I) y en el nuevo grupo 21 (grupo II). Se realizó un análisis multivariable para analizar estos resultados...


Introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the modified Maze III surgery using a reusable cryoablation clamp compared with the classic cut and suture Maze III only in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and mitral surgery. Methods: in the period between May 1993 and April 2005, 134 patients underwent Maze surgery. 92 had permanent atrial fibrillation and previous mitral surgery. 71 patients had had the classic Maze surgery (group I) and 21 the modified Maze III with reusable cryoablation clamp. A multivariable analysis is realized in order to analyze these results. Results: mean age was 48,1 years (24 to 67 years). 24 were men and 68 were women. Mean duration of atrial fibrillation was 3,8 ± 4.3 years (standard deviation 0,5-20). Mean left atrial diameter was 57 mm (26-82 mm). No significant differences were found between the two groups. Mean ischemic time of group I was 83 minutes and that of group II was 77 minutes (p = 0,4). Post-chirurgic bleeding was of 762 cc in group I and 680 cc in group II (p = 0,6). Mortality was 5,6% in group I and 0% in group II. Sinus rhythm was recovered in 87% patients in group I and in 85,7% patients in group II. Conclusions: modified Maze III surgery with cryoablator reusable clamp is as effective as classic Maze, considered as the gold standard. We found a decrease in the ischemic time as well as in the post-chirurgic bleeding, being not statistically significant. There is a difference in mortality between the two groups. This is a safe modification and can be applied by more surgeons in any institution. In developing countries, this device can be used as an alternative energy method.
