RESUMO

Resumen: Introducción: preeclampsia, la complicación más común del embarazo, ocasiona más de 76,000 muertes maternas al año, principalmente por complicaciones neurológicas. La alteración en la vasorregulación cerebral es clave en la patogénesis de dichas complicaciones. La ecografía Doppler transcraneal (EDT) evalúa el flujo de las principales arterias cerebrales, pero se desconocen los cambios que presentan las pacientes con preeclampsia/eclampsia. Objetivo: descripción de los cambios en el flujo sanguíneo cerebral evaluados mediante EDT en pacientes con preeclampsia/eclampsia. Material y métodos: se realizó EDT a las pacientes con diagnóstico de preeclampsia y/o eclampsia atendidas de forma consecutiva en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos del Hospital Civil de Guadalajara, del 01 de marzo de 2019 al 01 de marzo de 2021 y grupo control de embarazadas sanas; describimos el patrón de flujo de las arterias cerebrales anterior, media, posterior y arteria basilar. Resultados: Ochenta pacientes, 50 con preeclampsia/eclampsia y 30 embarazadas sanas, edad 23 ± 6.7, 50% primigestas, 34.8 ± 4.3 semanas de gestación. La presión de perfusión cerebral de las arterias cerebrales media derecha > 74 mmHg (sensibilidad 0.88, especificidad 0.86, ABC 0.92) y anterior derecha > 69 mmHg (sensibilidad 0.89, especificidad 0.93, ABC 0.92) tuvieron la mayor asociación con preeclampsia/eclampsia. El índice de flujo sanguíneo de las arterias cerebrales posteriores tuvo asociación significativa con eclampsia (p = 0.02), ABC: 0.695 (p = 0.009), punto de corte ≥ 34.6 cm/s (sensibilidad 1.0, especificidad 0.43, OR 26). Conclusiones: un incremento generalizado de la presión de perfusión es el hallazgo más común en preeclampsia/eclampsia. Aumento en el índice de flujo sanguíneo en las arterias cerebrales posteriores se asocia a complicaciones neurológicas graves en pacientes con preeclampsia.


Abstract: Introduction: preeclampsia, the most common complication of pregnancy, leads to > 76,000 maternal deaths annually, mainly due to neurological complications. An alteration in cerebral vasoregulation is key in the pathogenesis of these complications. Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound (TCD) evaluates the flow of the main cerebral arteries and could help to predict the development of preeclampsia/eclampsia and its complications. Objective: to determine the most frequent cerebral blood flow changes in preeclampsia/eclampsia. Material and methods: we prospectively analyzed by TCD patients with preeclampsia/eclampsia on admission to the ICU. Results: Eighty patients, 50 with preeclampsia/eclampsia and 30 healthy pregnant women, age 23 ± 6.7, 50% primigravida, 34.8 ± 4.3 weeks gestation. Cerebral perfusion pressure of right middle cerebral arteries > 74 mmHg (sensitivity 0.88, specificity 0.86, AUC 0.92) and right anterior cerebral arteries > 69 mmHg (sensitivity 0.89, specificity 0.93, AUC 0.92), had the highest association with preeclampsia/eclampsia. Posterior cerebral artery blood flow index had significant association with eclampsia (p = 0.02), AUC 0.695 (p = 0.009), with a cut-off ≥ 34.6 cm/s (sensitivity 1.0, specificity 0.43, OR 26). Conclusions: a generalized increase in perfusion pressure is the most common finding in preeclampsia/eclampsia. Hyper flow in the posterior cerebral arteries may predict severe neurological complications.


Resumo: Introdução: a pré-eclâmpsia, complicação mais comum da gravidez, causa mais de 76,000 mortes maternas anualmente, principalmente devido a complicações neurológicas. A vasorregulação cerebral alterada é fundamental na patogênese dessas complicações. A ultrassonografia Doppler transcraniana (DTC) avalia o fluxo das principais artérias cerebrais, as alterações que os pacientes com pré-eclâmpsia/eclâmpsia apresentam são desconhecidas. Objetivo: descrição das alterações do fluxo sanguíneo cerebral avaliados por DTC em pacientes com pré-eclâmpsia/eclâmpsia. Material e métodos: DTC foi realizado em pacientes com diagnóstico de pré-eclâmpsia e/ou eclâmpsia tratados consecutivamente na unidade de terapia intensiva do Hospital Civil de Guadalajara, de 1o de março de 2019 a 1o de março de 2021 e um grupo controle de gestantes saudáveis; descrevemos o padrão de fluxo das artérias cerebrais anterior, média, posterior e da artéria basilar. Resultados: 80 pacientes, 50 com pré-eclâmpsia/eclâmpsia e 30 gestantes saudáveis, idade 23 ± 6.7, 50% primíparas, 34.8 ± 4.3 semanas de gestação. A pressão de perfusão cerebral das artérias cerebrais médias direitas > 74 mmHg (sensibilidade 0.88, especificidade 0.86, AUC 0.92) e anterior direita > 69 mmHg (sensibilidade 0.89, especificidade 0.93, AUC 0.92), teve a maior associação com pré-eclâmpsia/eclâmpsia. O índice de fluxo sanguíneo das artérias cerebrais posteriores, teve associação significativa com eclâmpsia (p = 0.02), AUC: 0.695 (p = 0.009), ponto de corte ≥ 34.6 cm/s (sensibilidade 1.0, especificidade 0.43, OR 26). Conclusões: Um aumento generalizado da pressão de perfusão é o achado mais comum na pré-eclâmpsia/eclâmpsia. O aumento da taxa de fluxo sanguíneo nas artérias cerebrais posteriores está associado a complicações neurológicas graves em pacientes com pré-eclâmpsia.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Data on short-term peripheral intravenous catheter-related bloodstream infections per 1,000 peripheral venous catheter days (PIVCR BSIs per 1,000 PVC days) rates from Latin America are not available, so they have not been thoroughly studied. METHODS: International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) members conducted a prospective, surveillance study on PIVCR BSIs from January 2010 to March 2018 in 100 intensive care units (ICUs) among 41 hospitals, in 26 cities of 9 countries in Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican-Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, and Venezuela). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Health Safety Network (NHSN) definitions were applied, and INICC methodology and INICC Surveillance Online System software were used. RESULTS: In total, 10,120 ICU patients were followed for 40,078 bed days and 38,262 PVC days. In addition, 79 PIVCR BSIs were identified, with a rate of 2.06 per 1,000 PVC days (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.635-2.257). The average length of stay (ALOS) of patients without a PIVCR BSI was 3.95 days, and the ALOS was 5.29 days for patients with a PIVCR BSI. The crude extra ALOS was 1.34 days (RR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.0975-1.6351; P = .040).The mortality rate in patients without PIVCR BSI was 3.67%, and this rate was 6.33% in patients with a PIVCR BSI. The crude extra mortality was 1.70 times higher. The microorganism profile showed 48.5% gram-positive bacteria (coagulase-negative Staphylococci 25.7%) and 48.5% gram-negative bacteria: Acinetobacter spp, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella spp (8.5% each one), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.7%), and Candida spp (2.8%). The resistances of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were 0% to amikacin and 50% to meropenem. The resistance of Acinetobacter baumanii to amikacin was 0%, and the resistance of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus to oxacillin was 75%. CONCLUSIONS: Our PIVCR BSI rates were higher than rates from more economically developed countries and were similar to those of countries with limited resources.

RESUMO

Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen. It is difficult to control and treat. The most seriously ill patients and those previously infected are more likely than others to be infected or colonized by A. baumannii. The epidemiology of A. baumannii infection is complex, with the coexistence of epidemic and endemic infections. The A. baumannii are the species isolated in 90% of the nosocomial infections and in 92% of the nosocomial bacteremias. The intensive care units presented the greater number of nosocomial bacteremias by A. baumannii. The most common sources of A. baumannii are respiratory tract, surgical wound, catheter, urinary tract and others. The most frequently clinical manifestation is sepsis and a fulminating course is observed when the patient presents septic shock. Progressive resistance of A. baumannii to antimicrobial limits the therapeutic options. The patients with A. baumannii multidrug-resistant present an excessive rate of attributed mortality, length of stay and costs.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Determine the severity and the course of Acinetobacter baumannii blood infections (AbBI). METHODS: We carried out a prospective review of all Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) isolated from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a medical facility. RESULTS: During the study period, 46 patients were identified with AbBI. The rate of AbBI was 14 per 1,000 admissions. A. baumannii was ICU acquired in 85% of cases studied. The median time frame between ICU admission and acquisition of AbBI was 9 +/- 7 days. 31 patients displayed blood infection (BI) by A. baumannii alone and 15 with polymicrobial BI. The clinical manifestation of the 31 patients with AbBI included the following symptoms: 42% presented with septic shock, 42% had severe sepsis and 16% had sepsis. Two or more episodes of AbBI were observed among 13% of patients. Of A. baumannii isolates, 17% were resistant to imipenem. Patient mortality with AbBI alone was 45% and 40% for polymicrobial BI. Patient mortality for septic shock was 60%, 70% died during the first 72 hrs after AbBI. CONCLUSIONS: AbBI displayed an endemic pattern during the study period. Severe sepsis and septic shock were the most common clinical presentations of AbBI. AbBI are associated with a significant increase in the death rate of patient in the ICU studied.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Determinar la severidad y el comportamiento de las bacteremias por Acinetobacter baumannii (BAb). Métodos: Se revisaron de manera prospectiva todos los Acinetobacter baumannii aislados en una unidad de cuidados intensivos. Resultados: Se identificaron 46 pacientes con BAb y una tasa de BAb de 14 por mil ingresos. A. baumannii se adquirió en la unidad de cuidados intensivos en 85%. El periodo entre el ingreso y la BAb fue de 9±7 días. La BAb se presentó en 31 pacientes y bacteremia polimicrobiana en 15. Las manifestaciones clínicas de los 31 pacientes: choque séptico en 42%, sepsis severa en 42% y sepsis en 16%. Dos o más episodios de BAb ocurrieron en 13%. Se presentó resistencia a imipenem en 17% de los A. baumannii. La mortalidad para los pacientes con BAb fue de 45% y para bacteremia polimicrobiana de 40%. La mortalidad para los pacientes con choque séptico fue de 60%; 70% de los pacientes murió durante las primeras 72 horas seguidas a la BAb. Conclusiones: La distribución de los casos de BAb se presentó en forma continua con un patrón endémico. Sepsis severa y choque séptico fueron las principales manifestaciones de BAb. Las BAb se asocian con una tasa de mortalidad significativa.
