Transferencia segura de pacientes y mejora de la comunicación en distintos entornos asistenciales / Safe handoff practices and improvement of communication in different paediatric settings

El manejo deficiente de información, en especial durante la transferencia o el traspaso de cuidados, contribuye en gran parte de los eventos adversos relacionados con la asistencia sanitaria. El Comité de Calidad Asistencial y Seguridad en el Paciente de la Asociación Española de Pediatría ha confeccionado este documento para ofrecer una aproximación a los procesos de transferencia en distintos ámbitos asistenciales pediátricos: urgencias-emergencias, hospitalización, cuidados intensivos, neonatología y atención primaria. Se describen recursos para lograr una comunicación segura y efectiva en todos estos ámbitos, empleando, entre otros métodos, herramientas estandarizadas de transferencia. Se proponen también recomendaciones para la prevención de errores de medicación durante los procesos de transferencia, la mejora de seguridad durante los traslados y derivaciones entre ámbitos, y también para un mejor traspaso de información asistencial en los niños y adolescentes con enfermedades crónicas y complejidad asistencial.

Inadequate information management, especially during patient handoff, contributes to a large part of health care-related adverse events. The Committee for Quality of Care and Patient Safety of the Asociación Española de Pediatría has developed this document to provide an overview of handover practices in different paediatric care settings (emergency, inpatient, intensive care, neonatal and primary care). It describes resources to achieve safe and effective communication in all these settings, such as standardized handoff tools. It also proposes recommendations for the prevention of medication errors during the handover process, to improve safety in interhospital and intrahospital patient transfer, and to optimize communication and continuity of care in chronically ill and medically complex children.

Cambios a partir de la COVID-19. Una perspectiva desde la pediatría interna hospitalaria / Changes from COVID-19. A perspective from internal pediatric medicine

La dimensión de la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 ha afectado a la organización asistencial de la pediatría hospitalaria de nuestro país. Los nuevos retos generados por la COVID-19 exigen una serie de medidas proactivas basadas en los conocimientos científicos existentes y las normas de buena práctica que permitan la preparación y la mayor operatividad de los servicios pediátricos hospitalarios. La pediatría interna hospitalaria, como responsable de la atención integral del niño hospitalizado, tiene un papel principal en el nuevo modelo de hospital surgido de esta epidemia. En la presente revisión se analiza la repercusión pediátrica que ha tenido la epidemia por SARS-CoV-2 y la preparación ante futuros rebrotes, en posible coexistencia con otras infecciones virales. Se revisa también la implicación de las unidades pediátricas en la asistencia de adultos y la atención de pacientes crónicos complejos, y se ofrecen recomendaciones sobre aspectos de seguridad, consideraciones éticas y docencia de los futuros pediatras durante la crisis. La Sociedad Española de Pediatría Hospitalaria (SEPHO) pretende con este documento ofrecer a los pediatras internistas hospitalarios una serie de reflexiones y recursos de utilidad en un escenario con muchas incertidumbres

SARS-CoV-2 pandemic dimension has affected the Hospital Pediatrics Medicine assistance in our country. New challenges generated by COVID-19 require a series of proactive measures, based on existing scientific knowledge and standards of good practice, that allow the Pediatric Hospital services readiness and operability. Hospital Internal Pediatrics, as responsible of integral care of the hospitalized child, plays a leading role in the new hospital model emerging from this crisis. This review analyzes the impact of the current SARS-CoV-2 epidemic on pediatric care, and perspective of new COVID-19 outbreaks in coexistence with other viral infections. Changes secondary to pandemic involved in Hospital Pediatric units, how to prepare for future epidemics, also the involvement of pediatric units in adult care and the possible opportunities for improvement need to be revised. Assistance of patients with chronic complex conditions in epidemic circumstances, safety aspects, opportunities for teaching and ethical considerations are reviewed. The Spanish Society of Hospital Pediatrics Medicine offers with this article a series of resources for Internal Pediatric Medicine practitioners responsible to face next challenges in pediatric hospitalization units

Airway microbiota in patients with paediatric cystic fibrosis: Relationship with clinical status.

INTRODUCTION: New massive sequencing techniques make it possible to determine the composition of airway microbiota in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, the relationship between the composition of lung microbiome and the clinical status of paediatric patients is still not fully understood. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on induced sputum samples from children with CF and known mutation in the CFTR gene. The bacterial sequences of the 16SrRNA gene were analyzed and their association with various clinical variables studied. RESULTS: Analysis of the 13 samples obtained showed a core microbiome made up of Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Rothia spp., Gemella spp. and Granulicatella spp., with a small number of Pseudomonas spp. The cluster of patients with less biodiversity were found to exhibit a greater number of sequences of Staphylococcus spp., mainly Staphylococcus aureus (p 0.009) and a greater degree of lung damage. CONCLUSION: An airway microbiome with greater biodiversity may be an indicator of less pronounced disease progression, in which case new therapeutic interventions that prevent reduction in non-pathogenic species of the airway microbiota should be studied.

Introducción: Las nuevas técnicas de secuenciación masiva permiten determinar la composición de la microbiota de las vías respiratorias en pacientes con fibrosis quística (FQ). Sin embargo, la relación entre la composición de la microbiota pulmonar y el estado clínico de los pacientes pediátricos todavía no se ha establecido bien. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal observacional en muestras de esputo inducido de niños con FQ y mutación conocida en el gen CFTR. Se analizaron las secuencias bacterianas del gen 16SrRNA y se estudió su asociación con diversas variables clínicas. Resultados: El análisis de las 13 muestras obtenidas mostró un microbioma central compuesto por Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Rothia spp., Gemella spp. y Granulicatella spp., con un pequeño número de Pseudomonas spp. Se descubrió que el grupo de pacientes con menos biodiversidad mostraba un mayor número de secuencias de Staphylococcus spp., principalmente Staphylococcus aureus (p 0,009) y un mayor daño de la función pulmonar. Conclusión: La mayor biodiversidad del microbioma de vía respiratoria puede ser un indicador de menor progresión de la enfermedad, en cuyo caso deben estudiarse nuevas intervenciones terapéuticas que prevengan la disminución de especies no patógenas
