¿Es necesario el control de diuresis en pacientes con lavado vesical continuo? / No disponible

Introducción: La hematuria es frecuente en la patología urológica, pudiendo provocar la obstrucción del catéter vesical. Para prevenirla utilizamos el lavado vesical continuo (LVC). Objetivo: Valorar la conveniencia de modificar la práctica clínica de realizar control de diuresis en pacientes con LVC. Material y métodos: Estudio prospectivo aleatorizado con 105 pacientes consecutivos sometidos a cirugía endourológica en el Hospital Clínic de Barcelona entre abril y julio de 2015. Al grupo intervención se le realizó un control observacional de diuresis tras la cirugía y al grupo control se le registró entradas/salidas y diuresis. La valoración de diferencias entre grupos se ha realizado comparando cifras de creatinina previa y posquirúrgica. Resultados: Se han asignado 51 pacientes al grupo intervención y 54 al grupo control. La mediana de los valores de creatinina previa y posquirúrgica en el grupo intervención fue 0,94 y 1,01 mg/dl y de 0,87 y 0,91 mg/dl para grupo control. Conclusión: La medición de diuresis en pacientes con LVC no tiene impacto en la función renal

Introduction: The hematuria is frequent in the urological pathology, which may cause obstruction of the vesical catheter. To prevent it we use the continuous bladder washing (CBW). Objective: To assess the advisability of changing the clinical practice to perform control of diuresis in patients with CBW. Material and methods: A prospective randomized study with 105 consecutive patients undergoing surgery endo urological in the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona between April and July 2015. The intervention group was performed an observational control of diuresis after the surgery and the control group was recorded inputs/outputs and diuresis. The valuation of differences between groups has been performed by comparing figures of creatinine prior to and after surgery. Results: 51 patients have been allocated to the intervention group and 54 to the control group. The median of the values of creatinine after and postsurgical in the intervention group was 0.94 and 1.01 mg/dl and 0.87 and 0.91 mg/dl for group control. Conclusion: The measurement of diuresis in patients with LVC has no impact on the kidney function

Calidad de vida y afrontamiento: diferencias entre los pacientes de diálisis peritoneal continua ambulatoria y hemodiálisis hospitalaria / Quality of life and coping: differences between patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and those under hospital hemodialysis

Objetivo: Comparar la satisfacción con la vida y calidad de vida de pacientes en hemodiálisis hospitalaria(HDH) y diálisis peritoneal continua ambulatoria (DPCA), y analizar su asociación con las estrategias de afrontamiento. Método: Se estudiaron, mediante un estudio de corte transversal, 61 pacientes de HDH y 32 de DPCA, con edad 70 años. Se aplicaron los cuestionarios de índice de Charlson, Stai-R, estrés percibido-PSS, percepción de control, soporte social MOS, formas de de afrontamiento, calidad de vida (SF-36) y satisfacción con la vida. Los análisis estadísticos se ajustaron por edad y sexo. Resultados: La proporción de mujeres fue del 35,5%, la edad media de 54 años. El grupo DPCA era más joven con una proporción de mujeres superior. El índice Charlson (comorbilidad) fue similar en HDH y DPCA. El grupo de HDH utilizó psicofármacos en un porcentaje superior a DPCA (el 38 frente al 13%; p 0,01). El grupo DPCA puntuó significativamente más alto en las estrategias de búsqueda de apoyo, regulación emocional, resolución de problemas y distracción, sin diferencias en el soporte social. No se encontraron diferencias en los componentes físico y mental, ni en las 7 dimensiones del SF-36. La satisfacción con la vida fue superioren DPCA (7,12 frente a 6,21; p ¼ 0,07). Conclusiones: Entre las 2 modalidades no hay diferencias en la percepción de calidad de vida. Los pacientes de DPCA tienden a una mayor satisfacción con la vida y un afrontamiento más adaptativo (de regulación emocional y búsqueda de sentido), esto sugiere que podrían tener una mayor asimilación y control del proceso de enfermedad(AU)

Objective To compare satisfaction with life and quality of life in patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and hospital hemodialysis (HHD) and to analyze their relationship with coping strategies. Methods. We performed a cross-sectional study in 61 patients aged<70 years old under HHD and 32 patients receiving CAPD. We applied the Charlson Index, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Stai-R), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the MOS Social Support Survey, and the Short-Form 36 questionnaire for quality of life. Coping strategies, perceived control and satisfaction with life were also analyzed. Statistical analyses were adjusted by differences in age and sex. Results. Women accounted for 35.5% of the patients. The mean age was 54 years. The CAPD group was younger and had a higher proportion of women. Charlson Comorbidity Index scores were similar in patients receiving HHD and in those receiving CAPD. The use of psychoactive drugs was higher in the CAPD group than in the HHD group (38% vs. 13%; p<0.01). The CAPD group scored significantly higher in strategies of seeking help, emotional regulation skills, problem resolving and distraction. No differences were found in social support between the two groups. No significant differences were found in the physical or mental components or in the seven dimensions of the SF-36. Satisfaction with life was higher in the CAPD group (7.12 versus 6.21; p=0.07). Conclusions. No differences in the perception of quality of life were found between patients receiving the two modalities. The CAPD group tended to show greater satisfaction with life and more adaptive coping strategies (emotional regulation and search for meaning), suggesting that these patients may have greater acceptance and control over the disease process(AU)
