Botulismo en la UCI: proceso de cuidados / Botulism in the ICU: nursing care plan

Introducción y valoración del caso. El botulismo es una enfermedad poco frecuente en Europa, causada por la bacteria Clostridium botulinum, de declaración obligatoria, no transmisible de persona a persona y potencialmente mortal (entre un 5 y 10%) si no se trata rápidamente. Se obtuvo el dictamen favorable del Comité de Ética de Investigación Clínica. Se presenta el proceso de cuidados enfermero de un varón de 49 años con diagnóstico de intoxicación bacteriana por Clostridium botulinum, secundario a la ingesta de alubias en mal estado, que estuvo ingresado en la UCI un total de 35 días. Diagnósticos y planificación. Valoración enfermera de forma holística durante las primeras 24 h, con priorización de los sistemas que presentaron un deterioro más rápido: el neurológico y el respiratorio. Se priorizaron 9 diagnósticos según la taxonomía NANDA: riesgo de respuesta alérgica, patrón respiratorio ineficaz, deterioro de la mucosa oral, deterioro de la movilidad física, riesgo de síndrome de desuso, riesgo de motilidad gastrointestinal disfuncional, deterioro de la eliminación urinaria, riesgo de confusión aguda y riesgo de cansancio del rol del cuidador. Discusión. El proceso de cuidados enfermero, estandarizado y organizado con la taxonomía NANDA y priorizado con el método sistemático AREA, garantizó los mejores cuidados basados en la evidencia y prueba de ello fue la mejoría de las puntuaciones de los indicadores de resultado NOC. Resultó imposible comparar la actuación enfermera con la de otros casos documentados

Introduction and case evaluation. Botulism is a rare disease in Europe, caused by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, notifiable, non-transmissible person-to-person and potentially fatal (between 5 and 10%) if not treated quickly. The favourable opinion of the Clinical Research Ethics Committee was obtained. We present the nursing care plan of a 49-year-old man with a diagnosis of bacterial intoxication caused by Clostridium botulinum, secondary to ingestion of beans in poor condition, who was admitted to the ICU for a total of 35 days. Diagnosis and planning. Holistic nursing evaluation during the first 24hours, with prioritisation of the systems that were deteriorating fastest: neurological and respiratory. Nine diagnoses were prioritised according to the NANDA taxonomy: Risk for allergy response, Ineffective breathing pattern, impaired oral mucous membrane, Impaired physical mobility, Risk for disuse syndrome, Risk for dysfunctional gastrointestinal motility, Impaired urinary elimination, Risk for acute confusion and Risk for caregiver role strain. Discussion. The nursing care plan, standardised and organised with the NANDA taxonomy and prioritised with the outcome-present state-test (OPT) model, guaranteed the best care based on evidence, as the NOC scores improvement demonstrated. It was impossible to compare the nursing intervention with other case reports
