RESUMO

The Intensive Care Unit is a wonderful place where lives are saved, but it is also a very harsh and unpleasant place where critically ill patients face terrible diseases in very adverse environmental conditions. We must change the design of the ICU and its organization; we must improve privacy, welfare and comfort of patients and families, following their personal and emotional demands. To free up the visiting hours and to improve family care are among our most urging matters, which we should delay no further. We must equip the ICUs with modern monitors and respirators but we must also invest in organization, design, environmental comfort and humanization. We need to redesign clinical practise so that ICU care becomes more agreeable and humane. We should put off this change no longer, since it is an imperative social and professional demand.

RESUMO

Introducción. Las complicaciones infecciosas relacionadas con el drenaje ventricular externo (CIRDVE) son un problema importante en las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) neuroquirúrgicos. El objetivo del estudio es conocer la incidencia de CIRDVE y analizar los factores implicados. Material y métodos. Estudio retrospectivo en una UCI polivalente de adultos de un hospital universitario de tercer nivel. Se incluyeron todos los pacientes con drenaje ventricular externo (DVE) excepto aquellos diagnosticados de una infección del sistema nervioso central previa al implante. Resultados. Se incluyeron 87 pacientes, 106 DVE. Diagnóstico previo más frecuente: hemorragia subaracnoidea (49,4%). Presentaron CIRDVE 31 pacientes con 32 DVE. La tasa de CIRDVE fue de 19,5 por mil días de catéter y de ventriculitis 14 por mil días de catéter. Presentaron CIRDVE el 31,6% de los pacientes y ventriculitis el 25,3%. Los pacientes con CIRDVE tuvieron más manipulaciones del DVE (2,0 ± 0,6 vs. 3,3 ± 1,0 p=0,02), reposicionamiento (0,1 ± 0,1 vs. 0,2 ± 0,1) y mayor estancia media en UCI y hospitalaria (29,8 ± 4,9 vs. 49,8 ± 5,2, p<0,01 y 67,4 ± 18,8 vs, 108,9 ± 30,2, p=0,02 respectivamente). Los DVE con CIRDVE tuvieron mayor permanencia, tanto al diagnóstico como a la retirada (12,6 ± 2,1 vs. 18,3 ± 3,6 y 12,6 ± 2,1 vs. 30,4 ± 7,3, p<0,01). No hubo diferencias en mortalidad. Conclusiones. Uno de cada 3 pacientes presentó CIRDVE. Los factores relacionados fueron el número de manipulaciones, el reposicionamiento del DVE y el tiempo de permanencia. Los pacientes con CIRDVE tuvieron estancia media en UCI y hospitalaria más larga pero sin incremento en la mortalidad (AU)


Introduction. Infectious complications related to external ventricular shunt (ICREVS) are a main problem in neurocritical intensive care units (ICU). The aim of the review is to assess the incidence of ICREVS and to analyse factors involved. Material and methods: Retrospective analysis, adult polyvalent ICU in a third level reference hospital. Patients carrying external ventricular shunt (DVE) were included. Those patients with central nervous system infection diagnosed prior DVE placement were excluded. Results: 87 patients were included with 106 DVE. Most common admittance diagnosis was subarachnoid haemorrhage (49.4%). 31 patients with 32 DVE developed an ICREVS. Infection rate is 19.5 per 1000 days of shunt for ICREVS and 14 per 1000 days for ventriculitis. 31.6% of the patients developed ICREVS and 25.3% ventriculitis. Patients who developed ICREVS presented higher shunt manipulations (2.0 ± 0.6 vs. 3.26 ± 1.02, p=0.02), shunt repositioning (0.1 ± 0.1 vs. 0.2 ± 0.1) and ICU and hospital stay (29.8 ± 4.9 vs 49.8 ± 5.2, p<0.01 y 67.4 ± 18.8 vs. 108.9 ± 30.2, p=0.02. Those DVE with ICREVS were placed for longer not only at infection diagnosis but also at removal (12.6 ± 2.1 vs. 18.3 ± 3.6 and 12.6 ± 2.1 vs. 30.4 ± 7.3 days, p<0.01). No difference in mortality was found. Conclusions. One out of three patients with a DVE develops an infection. The risk factors are the number of manipulations, repositioning and the permanency days. Patients with ICREVS had a longer ICU and hospital average stay without an increase in mortality (AU)

RESUMO

La Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) es un lugar hermoso donde se regala vida, pero también es un lugar hostil donde los pacientes se enfrentan a una enfermedad terrible en condiciones ambientales muy adversas. Es necesario adaptar tanto el diseño como la organización e la UCI para mejorar la privacidad, el bienestar y la confortabilidad de pacientes y familias, cuidando especialmente sus demandas personales y emocionales. Abrir las puertas de la UCI liberalizando el horario de visitas y mejorar los cuidados dirigidos a la familia es una de las asignaturas pendientes que no debemos retrasar más. Debemos dotar a las UCI de modernos respiradores y equipos de monitorización, pero también debemos invertir en organización, diseño, bienestar ambiental y humanización. Necesitamos rediseñar la práctica clínica para quela atención en la UCI sea más confortable y humana. No se debe aplazar más el cambio ya que es una demanda social y profesional ineludible
