Manejo anestésico del déficit de glucosa 6-fosfato deshidrogenasa / Anesthetic management of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency

El déficit de glucosa 6-fosfato deshidrogenasa es la enzimopatía más frecuente de los glóbulos rojos, contando con una prevalencia de 400 millones de personas en el mundo y una herencia ligada al cromosoma X, afectando sobre todo a varones. La glucosa 6-fosfato-deshidrogenasa participa en la vía de las pentosas-fosfato, encargada del metabolismo celular, y produciendo antioxidantes. Un déficit de esta enzima altera su capacidad de proteger a los hematíes del estrés oxidativo que producen ciertos medicamentos, condiciones metabólicas, infecciones y alimentos. Se requieren consideraciones anestésicas específicas para disminuir la morbimortalidad asociada a intervenciones médico-quirúrgicas en pacientes con esta enfermedad. En este artículo se expone el caso de un varón de 45 años con este déficit enzimático sometido a anestesia general combinada para resección anterior baja de recto programada.(AU)

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is the most common enzyme disease of red blood cells, with around 400 million people suffering from it throughout the world and linked to the X chromosome inheritance, thus it predominantly affects men. Glucose 6-phosphate-dehydrogenase participates in the pentose-phosphate pathway, being responsible for cellular metabolism and the production of antioxidants. A deficiency of this enzyme alters its ability to protect red blood cells from oxidative stress caused by certain drugs, metabolic conditions, infections and food. Specific anesthetic considerations are required to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with medical-surgical interventions in patients with this disease. This article presents the case of a 45-year-old man with Glucose 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase deficiency who underwent combined general anesthesia for programmed low anterior resection of the rectum.(AU)

¿Qué hemos aprendido de la notificación de incidentes de seguridad en el Bloque Quirúrgico?: estudio descriptivo transversal de 2 años de actividad de un grupo analizador multidisciplinar / What have we learned from reporting safety incidents in the Surgical Block?: Cross-sectional descriptive study of two-years of activity of a multidisciplinary analytical group

Antecedentes y objetivos: Los sistemas de notificación de incidentes (SNI) se consideran una herramienta que facilita el aprendizaje y la cultura de seguridad. Utilizando la experiencia adquirida con SENSAR, evaluamos la viabilidad y la actividad de un grupo multidisciplinar analizador de incidentes en el paciente quirúrgico notificados a un sistema general comunitario, el del Observatorio para la Seguridad del Paciente (OSP). Material y método: Estudio observacional descriptivo transversal planificado a 2 años. Previa formación en el análisis, se crea un grupo multidisciplinar en cuanto a especialidades y categorías profesionales, que analizarían los incidentes en el paciente quirúrgico notificados al OSP. Se clasifican los incidentes y se analizan sus circunstancias. Resultados: Entre los meses de marzo de 2015 y 2017 se notificaron 95 incidentes (4 por no profesionales). Los facultativos notificaron más que la enfermería, 54 (56,8%) vs. 37 (38,9%). La unidad que más notificó fue Anestesia con 46 (48,4%) (p=0,025). Los tipos de incidentes se relacionaron principalmente con el procedimiento asistencial (30,5%); el momento, con el preoperatorio (42,1%) y el lugar, con el área quirúrgica (48,4%), detectándose diferencias significativas en función de la filiación del notificante (p=0,03). No daño, o morbilidad menor, presentaron el 88% de los incidentes. Se identificaron errores en el 79%. El análisis de los incidentes dirigió las medidas a tomar. Conclusiones: La actividad que mantuvo el grupo multidisciplinar de análisis durante el periodo de estudio propició el conocimiento del sistema entre los profesionales y permitió identificar elementos de mejora en el Bloque Quirúrgico a diferentes niveles

Background and objectives: Incident Reporting Systems (IRS) are considered a tool that facilitates learning and safety culture. Using the experience gained with SENSAR, we evaluated the feasibility and the activity of a multidisciplinary group analyzing incidents in the surgical patient notified to a general community system, that of the Observatory for Patient Safety (OPS). Material and method: Cross-sectional observational study planned for two years. After training in the analysis, a multidisciplinary group was created in terms of specialties and professional categories, which would analyze the incidents in the surgical patient notified to the OPS. Incidents are classified and their circumstances analyzed. Results: Between March 2015 and 2017, 95 incidents were reported (4 by non-professionals). Doctors reported more than nurses, at 54 (56.84%) vs. 37 (38.94%). The anaesthesia unit reported most at 46 (48.42%) (P=.025). The types of incidents mainly related to the care procedure (30.52%); to the preoperative period (42.10%); and to the place, the surgical area (48.42%). Significant differences were detected according to the origin of the notifier (P=.03). No harm, or minor morbidity, constituted 88% of the incidents. Errors were identified in 79%. The analysis of the incidents directed the measures to be taken. Conclusions: The activity undertaken by the multidisciplinary analytical group during the period of study facilitated knowledge of the system among the professionals and enabled the identification of areas for improvement in the Surgical Block at different levels
