RESUMO

Introducción y objetivo: muchos pacientes en situación terminal son atendidos en las últimas etapas de su vida en servicios médicos y fuera de unidades de cuidados paliativos. Por ello nos propusimos estudiar y describirlas historias clínicas de los pacientes fallecidos en nuestro servicio durante el año 2006. Pacientes y métodos: estudio retrospectivo descriptivo de las historias clínicas de los pacientes fallecidos durante el año 2006 en el Servicio de Medicina Interna del Hospital Virgen de la Torre (HVTR) -Madrid-. Se analizaron datos sociodemográficos, clínicos, criterios de terminalidad, causas de muerte y tipo de cuidados recibidos, instrumentalización, existencia de Voluntades Anticipadas e inclusión en protocolo de paliativos. Se analizaron los resultados con el programa estadístico SPSS 14.0. Resultados: se obtuvieron 172 historias clínicas (64,5% mujeres,35,5% varones, edad media 85,76 ± 7,0) de los 188 pacientes fallecidos en dicho periodo. El 69% de los pacientes tenía criterios de terminalidad, siendo la enfermedad de base: demencias 52%, oncológicas 14%, obstrucción crónica del flujo aéreo (OCFA) 10%, e insuficiencia cardiaca (IC) 9%. Las causas del éxitus fueron respiratorias (70%), neurológicas (52%), cardiovasculares(35%) y sepsis (31%). Ningún paciente tenía voluntades anticipadas. Se incluyeron en protocolo de paliativos el 81% de los pacientes terminales. Conclusiones: un alto porcentaje de los pacientes que fallecieron en nuestro servicio cumplían criterios de terminalidad. El perfil del paciente más común fue el de una anciana de edad avanzada, pluripatológica, con alto nivel de dependencia, cuidada por su familia y con demencia en fase terminal. Ningún paciente tenía voluntades anticipadas (AU)


Background and objectives: many patients with end-stage chronic illnesses are cared for in medical services, outside specific palliative care resources. This encouraged us to review the patients that had died in our department during 2006, describing their characteristics and the care they were given. Patients and methods: a retrospective descriptive study of the clinical records of patients who died during 2006 at Internal Medicine Service, Virgen de la Torre Hospital, Madrid, Spain. We analyzed their sociodemographic and clinical information, end-stage disease criteria, causes of death, type of care and treatments, degree of instrumentalization, and presence of a living will. The results were analyzed with the statistical programSPSS 14.0. Results: we obtained 172 clinical records of 188 deceased patients during this period (64.5% women, 35.5% males, mean age 85.76 ± 7.0);69% of patients had end-stage disease, and diseases included dementia in 52%, cancer in 14%, COPD in 10%, and heart failure in 9%. Death was most commonly of respiratory (70%), neurological (52%), cardiovascular(35%), or septic (31%) cause. No patient had a living will; 81% of terminal patients were included in a palliative protocol. Conclusions: a high percentage of the patients that had died in our service had a terminal chronic disease. Patient type was a woman of advanced age, with multiple chronic diseases, with a high level of dependency, cared after by her family, and with end-stage dementia. No patient had a living will (AU)

RESUMO

A case of superior vena cava syndrome in an 82-year-old woman who had been suffering from multinodular hyperfunctioning goiter for a long time is presented. The goiter was partially intrathoracic, benign, but affecting the superior mediastinum. The patient decided not to be operated on because of personal fears and the slow growth produced developments of collateral prethoracic circulation. The etiology of superior vena cava syndrome is of malignant tumor origin in 95% of cases. This case is presented because of its rareness, and the literature is reviewed.
