Enfermedad por Coronavirus - 2019 (COVID-19) y Traumatología: Revisión de la literatura / Coronavirus Disease - 2019 (COVID-19) and Traumatology: Review of Literature

The Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) triggered a global health emergency, and as a response, institutions and medical services have implemented different measures regarding the management of these patients in order to maintain medical care, and reduce the spread of the virus in patients and medical staff. The following review aims to present the current recommendations made by international, national and local societies regarding medical action from Traumatology and Orthopaedics. A literature review was done on Medline / Pubmed platforms, The Journal Bone and Joint Surgery (JBJS), Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (JAAOS), Sociedad Chilena de Ortopedia y Traumatología (SCHOT). The literature was in Spanish and English, comparing it with reality on a local level. The current COVID-19 pandemic led to the complete reform of the trauma care units, starting with the development of subspecialty teams that rotate periodically, which are in charge of the emergency area, treating patients with all personal protection elements (PPE) and categorizing those patients who require emergency trauma surgery, from those that can be managed in a delayed manner. Regarding patients who are hospitalized, a COVID-19 PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test is taken as screening, except for emergency surgeries where all intraoperative protection measures are taken. In addition, for greater safety, all elective surgery was suspended, which reduces the flow of patients in the ward and in the inpatient unit. Outpatient care was optimized in order to protect patients in their periodic check-ups.

The link between industry and social interests in health in Brazil's National Health Innovation System: the experience of the Brazilian National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (INTO).

This article has two parts. The first discusses the relationship between industry and health interests based on three different but non-mutually exclusive "logics": (a) independent; (b) divergent; and (c) convergent. The second part describes the experience at the Brazilian National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (INTO) with a technology management model. The accumulated expertise in orthopedics at INTO can favor Brazil's domestic medical equipment industry without jeopardizing the country's social health needs. This means directing the production of feasible technologies adapted to the national reality, with a focus on safety and quality, without burdening the public coffers and by overcoming the country's dependency on imported products. The proposal is to promote socioeconomic development through a virtuous circle by attracting reserves and fomenting national competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets while improving social conditions and access to health. Resumo: Este artigo está dividido em duas partes. Na primeira, discute-se como se relacionam os interesses produtivos e a saúde a partir de três "lógicas" ou perspectivas diferentes que não são mutuamente excludentes: (a) independente; (b) divergente e (c) convergente. Na segunda, descreve-se a experiência do Instituto Nacional de Traumatologia e Ortopedia (INTO) na montagem de um modelo de gestão de tecnologia. O conhecimento internalizado em ortopedia do INTO pode favorecer a indústria nacional de equipamentos médicos sem abandonar as necessidades sociais brasileiras de saúde. Isto é, direcionar a produção de tecnologias viáveis e adaptadas à realidade nacional, com foco em segurança e qualidade, sem onerar os cofres públicos e abandonando a dependência de produtos importados. A proposta é a de promover um desenvolvimento socioeconômico que construa um ciclo virtuoso, por atrair divisas e fomentar a competitividade nacional em mercados internos e externos, melhorando as condições sociais e de acesso à saúde.

Gestión por procesos del servicio de ortopedia y traumatología de un Hospital Público: estrategia, ventajas y dificultades

Este estudio pretende reflejar las experiencias, describir y analizar las dificultades en el ensayo de implementar la “gestión por procesos” en el servicio de ortopedia y traumatología de un hospital público de 140 camas como así también reconocer las ventajas y evaluar el impacto sobre la eficacia eficiencia y efectividad. La institución tiene dos pilares básicos en su gestión: brindar prestaciones de alto nivel académico, científico y humano, es decir “compromiso con la Calidad y la Excelencia”, como así también la asunción de la “Responsabilidad y Gestión Social”. Estos dos conceptos se han ido desarrollando a lo largo de la historia de nuestro hospital El objetivo central es afianzar la cultura de la excelencia en la gestión, reordenando y definiendo los procesos y a través de ello lograr: mayor compromiso de los profesionales, alinearse a las necesidades del paciente, descentralizar la gestión, estandarizar las actividades, favorecer la mejora continua, allanar la organización y mejorar la eficacia y eficiencia. Se intenta extraer conclusiones valederas, llevar a cabo una revisión sobre el desarrollo en las distintas fases y etapas de la gestión por procesos, es decir, se vuelve a mirar o “revisita” la institución, sus actores y las experiencias vividas, pasando por avances y retrocesos, aciertos y desaciertos, posibilidades y limitaciones plasmados en los resultados obtenidos. De este modo, se presenta un informe técnico y de reflexión teórica

SUMMARY: This study aims to reflect experiences, describe, and analyze the difficulties in the trial of implementing "process management" in an Orthopedics and Traumatology department of a public hospital with 140 beds as well as recognize the advantages and assess the impact on the efficacy, efficiency and effectiveness. The institution has two basic pillars in its management: to provide benefits of high academic, scientific and human level, that is to say "commitment to Quality and the Excellence", as well as the assumption of “Social Responsibility and Management ". These two concepts have been developing throughout the history of our hospital The main objective is to strengthen the culture of excellence in the management, reordering and defining the process and through this achieve: greater commitment of the professionals, align to the patient’s the needs, decentralize the management, standardize the activities, promote continuous improvements, streamline the organization and improve efficiency and effectiveness. It tries to draw valid conclusions, carry out a review on the development in the different phases and stages of the process management, that is to say, it is re-looks or "revisits " the institution, its actors and their lived experiences, passing through advances and setbacks, successes and failures, possibilities and limitations reflected in the results obtained. In this way, a technical report and theoretical reflection is presented

Abstract: This article has two parts. The first discusses the relationship between industry and health interests based on three different but non-mutually exclusive "logics": (a) independent; (b) divergent; and (c) convergent. The second part describes the experience at the Brazilian National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (INTO) with a technology management model. The accumulated expertise in orthopedics at INTO can favor Brazil's domestic medical equipment industry without jeopardizing the country's social health needs. This means directing the production of feasible technologies adapted to the national reality, with a focus on safety and quality, without burdening the public coffers and by overcoming the country's dependency on imported products. The proposal is to promote socioeconomic development through a virtuous circle by attracting reserves and fomenting national competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets while improving social conditions and access to health.

Resumen: Este artículo está dividido en dos partes. En la primera, se discute cómo se relacionan los intereses productivos y la salud, a partir de tres "lógicas" o perspectivas diferentes, que no son mutuamente excluyentes: (a) independiente; (b) divergente; (c) convergente. En la segunda, se describe la experiencia del Instituto Nacional de Traumatología y Ortopedia (INTO) en el montaje de un modelo de gestión de tecnología. El conocimiento internalizado en ortopedia del INTO puede favorecer la industria nacional de equipos médicos, sin abandonar las necesidades sociales brasileñas en salud. Esto es, dirigir la producción de tecnologías viables y adaptadas a la realidad nacional, centrándose en la seguridad y calidad, sin ser onerosos para el erario público y abandonando la dependencia de productos importados. La propuesta es promover un progreso socioeconómico que construya un ciclo virtuoso, con el fin de atraer divisas y fomentar la competitividad nacional en mercados internos y externos, mejorando las condiciones sociales y de acceso a la salud.

Impacting policy change for orthopaedic trauma.

Traumatic injury, which remains the leading cause of death for Americans aged 1 to 44 years, costs the United States over $400 billion because of loss of productivity and medical services each year. Yet, over the last few decades, there has been decreased funding for trauma centers. The 2010 Affordable Care Act is just the start of health care reform, and Congress will continue to create and change policies directly impacting medical care. In this article, we evaluate how orthopaedic trauma surgeons can have a lasting impact on the nation's health care policy through organizations and advocacy on the local, state, and federal levels.

Acute care surgeon South American model.

BACKGROUND: In the World Health Organization book by Murray and Lopez (The Global Burden of Disease), the authors make the point that there are major regional differences across the world for death from injury. In the European market economies, injuries accounted for 6% of all deaths, of which the majority were the result of road traffic accidents. In stark contrast, in Latin America and the Caribbean, injuries account for 12-13% of all deaths, and most of these are the result of violence. An estimated 30% of all male deaths are from external causes, and road traffic accidents are the number two cause of death. Within South American countries, trauma is the second most common cause of death in Columbia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Brazil. In other South American countries, it is the third or fourth most common cause of death. If one examines the Disability Adjusted Life Years, South America is the third highest in the world. Death from injury primarily affects people in the middle- and low-income group. Traffic accidents and suicide are the main causes of trauma in the high-income population. South America is made up of developing and poor countries that have trauma as a very important cause of death and disability. METHODS: The author has reviewed information on injury from the World Health Organization, Pan American Health Organization, and Brazilian Health Ministry. In addition, a search of injury was performed through MEDLINE. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The results of this review show that trauma is a major public health problem in South America. At the present time, there is a lack of statewide system development. In addition, there are difficulties in training surgeons to cope with these problems.

A odontologia hospitalar e a traumatologia buco-maxilo-facial no município de Säo Paulo / The hospitalar odontology and bucal and maxillofacial traumatology of Säo Paulo city, Säo Paulo state, 1999

Traz a traumatologia buco-maxilo-facial como problema de saúde pública no município de Säo Paulo, a partir da descriçäo da dinâmica da rede de instituiçöes governamentais e vinculadas ao sistema público que prestam esse atendimento, da verificaçäo das instituiçöes quanto ao atendimento e reabilitaçäo e do perfil da morbidade atendida em unidades de internaçöes e unidades de emergência, através da especificaçäo das consultas realizadas, segundo diagnóstico, causa, sexo, idade e instituiçäo onde ocorreu o atendimento. Triou-se as instituiçöes que atendiam a emergência odontológica geral e a traumatologia buco-maxilo-facial através das fontes de dados governamentais do ano de 1996, meses ímpares (SIH-SUS e SIA-SUS) e configurou-se a rede de serviços através de questionários. Encontrou-se 57 por cento dos atendimentos ligados á emergência odontológica comum e 34 por cento à traumatologia buco-maxilo-facial, onde aparece prioritariamente o adulto jovem do sexo masculino, configurado um perfil semelhante ao encontrado na mortalidade por causas externas
