RESUMO

Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 24 años de origen ecuatoriano que fue traída a Urgencias tras sufrir crisis convulsiva generalizada. Se realizó una tomografía computerizada (TC) craneal que objetivó una única lesión ocupante de espacio en lóbulo parietal derecho. Ingresó en el Servicio de Neurocirugía con el diagnóstico de proceso expansivo intracraneal. Tras completar estudio, fue diagnosticada de neurocisticercosis y tratada con albendazol y corticoides, con buena evolución posterior. La cisticercosis es una patología emergente debido a la inmigración desde países endémicos. Las crisis convulsivas son la forma de presentación más frecuente de la neurocisticercosis. Es importante la sospecha clínica para orientar los estudios al diagnóstico precoz. Revisamos la patogenia, diagnóstico y tratamiento de la neurocisticercosis (AU)


The case presented is a patient from Ecuador who was brought to emergency department after presenting a generalized seizure. A CT scan was performed and a single space occupying lesion was observed in the right parietal lobe. The patient was admitted to the neurosurgical unit with initially diagnosed with an expansive intracranial process. After completion of investigations, the patient was finally diagnosed with neurocysticercosis and was treated with Albendazol and corticosteroids, with a satisfactory evolution. Cysticercosis is an emerging pathology due to the increasing immigration from endemic regions. Seizures are the most frequent form of presentation of neurocysticercosis. Clinical suspicion is important to orient procedures for a prompt diagnosis. We review the pathology, diagnosis and treatment of neurocysticercosis (AU)

RESUMO

Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 51 años que acude a urgencias por cuadro de cefalea, meningismo y pérdida de visión de aparición brusca. Fue diagnosticada de hemorragia subaracnoidea (HSA) y la pérdida de visión fue explicada como un caso de ceguera cortical. La ceguera cortical es un síntoma poco habitual que puede estar causado por diversas causas a nivel del SNC, en este caso por isquemia secundaria a vasoespasmo intenso tras HSA (AU)


Case of a 51-year-old woman who comes to the Emergency suffering from headache, menigism and sudden loss of vision. She was diagnosed of SAH and loss of vision explained as cortical blindness. Cortical blindness is a rare syntomathology and can be produced by several CNS pathologies. In this case, it was caused by ischemia secondary to severe vasoespasm after SAH (AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The objective of this investigation is to study the usefulness, validity and reproducibility of the reception, attendance and classification of emergency cases employed by nurses in the emergency department of a tertiary hospital (Hospital de Navarra, Pamplona, Spain) (RACHN). MATERIAL AND METHODS: By studying the proportion of emergencies classified according to our triage system (reception, attendance and classification [recepción, acogida y clasificación] at the Hospital de Navarra, RACHN), we carried out a transversal descriptive study between 3rd November and 17th November 2003 to evaluate the concordance between the level of severity assigned by a nurse using the RACHN triage system and that determined by a senior doctor. In addition, we evaluated the discrepancy between the degree of severity assigned by a nurse using the triage system and the level of severity determined by a senior doctor and that between the request for complementary tests by the nurse with the opinion of a senior doctor. RESULTS: During the study period, 85.3% of the emergency cases were assigned severity levels using the 4 level scale RACHN triage system. The kappa index for severity assigned by the nurse was 0.76 (95%CI: 0.66-0.86) and that of the senior doctor, 0.71 (95% CI: 0.60-0.81). The discrepancy in severity was 26.1%. The request for complementary tests by the nurse proved correct in 95.2% of the cases, as determined by the senior doctor. CONCLUSION: The RACHN triage system depends primarily on the protocol established by the nurse that carries out triage. We have found a good degree of concordance between triage carried out by the nurse using the RACHN and that determined by the doctor. We believe the discrepancy can be reduced by establishing a five level scale of severity and by carrying out periodic reviews of the RACHN.

RESUMO

Fundamento. El objetivo de este trabajo es valorar la utilidad, validez y reproductibilidad de la recepción, acogida y clasificación utilizada en el Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital de Navarra.Material y métodos. Se ha realizado un estudio descriptivo transversal entre los días 3 y 17 de noviembre de 2003 ambos inclusive, estudiando el porcentaje de urgencias a las que les podemos aplicar la recepción, acogida y clasificación utilizada en el Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital de Navarra y la concordancia entre el nivel de gravedad asignado por enfermería tanto con la recepción, acogida y clasificación utilizada en el Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital de Navarra como con el que determinó el médico. Además hemos valorado la discrepancia entre la gravedad asignada por enfermería en la recepción, acogida y clasificación de la que determinó el médico y la opinión del médico sobre la actuación de enfermería respecto a las pruebas complementarias protocolizadas en la recepción, acogida y clasificación utilizada en el Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital de Navarra.Resultados. Al 85,3% de las urgencias les hemos asignado nivel de gravedad con la recepción, acogida y clasificación utilizada en el Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital de Navarra. El índice de kappa para la gravedad asignada por enfermería con la recepción, acogida y clasificación utilizada en el Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital de Navarra fue de 0,76 (95% IC: 0,66-0,86) y con la que determinó el médico de 0,71 (95% IC: 0,60-0,81). La discrepancia en la gravedad es del 26,1%. La actuación seguida por la enfermera respecto a las pruebas complementarias es considerada correcta por el médico en el 95,2% de los casos.Conclusión. La recepción, acogida y clasificación utilizada en el Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital de Navarra depende más del protocolo establecido que de la enfermera que la realiza. Hemos encontrado una concordancia buena con la recepción, acogida y clasificación utilizada en el Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital de Navarra y con la determinada por el médico. Pensamos que puede disminuir la discrepancia utilizando una escala de cinco niveles de gravedad y realizando revisiones periódicas de la recepción, acogida y clasificación utilizada en el Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital de Navarra
