ABSTRACT
Glycocalyx disruption and hyperinflammatory responses are implicated in the pathogenesis of dengue-associated vascular leak, however little is known about their association with clinical outcomes of patients with dengue shock syndrome (DSS). We investigated the association of vascular and inflammatory biomarkers with clinical outcomes and their correlations with clinical markers of vascular leakage. We performed a prospective cohort study in Viet Nam. Children ≥5 years of age with a clinical diagnosis of DSS were enrolled into this study. Blood samples were taken daily during ICU stay and 7-10 days after hospital discharge for measurements of plasma levels of Syndecan-1, Hyaluronan, Suppression of tumourigenicity 2 (ST-2), Ferritin, N-terminal pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP), and Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP). The primary outcome was recurrent shock. Ninety DSS patients were enrolled. Recurrent shock occurred in 16 patients. All biomarkers, except NT-proBNP, were elevated at presentation with shock. There were no differences between compensated and decompensated DSS patients. Glycocalyx markers were positively correlated with inflammatory biomarkers, haematocrit, percentage haemoconcentration, and negatively correlated with stroke volume index. While Syndecan-1, Hyaluronan, Ferritin, and ST-2 improved with time, ANP continued to be raised at follow-up. Enrolment Syndecan-1 levels were observed to be associated with developing recurrent shock although the association did not reach the statistical significance at the P < 0.01 (OR = 1.82, 95% CI 1.07-3.35, P = 0.038). Cardiovascular and inflammatory biomarkers are elevated in DSS, correlate with clinical vascular leakage parameters and follow different kinetics over time. Syndecan-1 may have potential utility in risk stratifying DSS patients in ICU.
ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Determinar el nivel de adherencia al protocolo de administración de medicamentos por el personal auxiliar de enfermería en una institución de salud de cuarto nivel. Materiales y Métodos: La presente investigación es de carácter cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo de corte transversal, se trabajó con una muestra de 150 auxiliares de enfermería que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Para la recolección de la información se utilizó dos instrumentos: una lista de chequeo y un test de conocimientos elaborados y validados por los investigadores. Resultados: El nivel de conocimientos sobre la administración de medicamentos que tiene el personal fue adecuado en un 50%, y la aplicabilidad del protocolo se cumple en el 65% del personal. Conclusión: El nivel de adherencia al protocolo de administración de medicamentos que tiene el personal auxiliar de enfermería es del 65%, existiendo una adecuada relación entre los conocimientos y la aplicabilidad de los mismos.
Goal. Determine the level of adherence to protocol management drugs by the auxiliary nurse in a fourth level health institution. Materials and Methods. This research is a quantitative type descriptive cross-sectional, we worked with a sample of 150 nursing assistants who met the inclusion criteria. For data collection was used two instruments: a checklist and a knowledge test developed and validated by researchers. Results. The level of knowledge about managing drug that the staff has, it was adequated in 50%, and the applicability protocol is met in 65% of the staff. Conclusion. The level of adherence to medication administration protocol that the auxiliary nurses have in 65%, there will be an adequate relationship between knowledge and the applicability of these ones.
Objetivo: Determine o nível de adesão ao protocolo de gestão drogas por parte do auxiliar de enfermagem em uma unidade de saúde na sala nível. Materiais e Métodos: Esta pesquisa é do tipo quantitativa descritivo transversal, trabalhamos com uma amostra de 150 auxiliares de enfermagem que preencheram os critérios de inclusão. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado dois instrumentos: uma lista de verificação e um teste de conhecimento desenvolvido e validado pelos pesquisadores. Resultados. O nível de conhecimento sobre o gerenciamento droga que tem o pessoal foi adequado em 50%, e a aplicabilidade protocolo é cumprida em 65% do pessoal. Conclusão. O nível de adesão ao protocolo de administração de medicamentos que tem os auxiliares de enfermagemé de 65%, será uma relação adequada entre o conhecimento ea aplicabilidade dos.
