Intervenciones de enfermería para la atención del paciente con dengue grave en el segundo y tercer nivel de atención / Nursing interventions for the care of the patient with dengre grave in the second and third level

Introducción. El dengue es una enfermedad infecciosa sistémica, viral transmitida por el mosquito “Aedes”. La OMS calcula que cada año se producen entre 50 y 100 millones de infecciones por este virus en el mundo. En México en el transcurso de la última década ha habido un incremento de casos, especialmente de tipo hemorrágico.Métodos. Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de artículos en cuatro etapas, retrospectiva a 10 años relacionada a dengue grave en PubMed, BVS, Tripdatabase y sitios Web; obteniendo 149 resultados, siendo útiles 40 para el desarrollo de esta guía: revisiones sistemáticas, meta análisis, ensayos clínicos aleatorizados, estudios observacionales y Guías de Práctica Clínica.Resultados. Revisiones sistemáticas mencionan que la desnutrición grado 2 o 3 proteico calórica severa protege contra la vasculopatía del dengue y que la fase crítica comienza alrededor del período de desaparición de fiebre, la leucopenia avanza y hay una rápida disminución de plaquetas, esto precede a la manifestación más específica y potencialmente mortal de esta fase: incrementa la permeabilidad capilar conduciendo a la pérdida de plasma y aumento en él hematocrito; un estudio transversal prospectivo encontró que infecciones sucesivas del virus del dengue aumentan el riesgo de dengue grave y un estudio multicéntrico refiere que las fallas orgánicas más desarrolladas fueron respiratorias, cardiovasculares, neurológicas y hepáticas.Conclusiones. La implementación de las recomendaciones están dirigidas principalmente a las intervenciones de enfermería que contribuyen a la prevención, recuperación, disminución de complicaciones y limitación de daños para el paciente con dengue grave.

Introduction. Dengue fever is a systemic, viral infectious disease transmitted by the ""Aedes"" mosquito. WHO estimates that each year occur between 50 and 100 million infections by this virus in the world. In Mexico over the course of the last decade, there has been an increase in cases, especially of hemorrhagic type. Methods. A systematic search of articles was carried out in four stages, back at 10 years related to severe dengue in PubMed, VHL, Tripdatabase and Web sites; 149 results, being useful 40 for the development of this guide: systematic reviews, meta analysis, clinical trials randomized, observational studies and clinical practice guidelines. Results. Systematic reviews mentioned malnutrition grade 2 or severe caloric protein 3 protects against vascular disease of dengue and the critical phase begins around the time of the disappearance of fever, leukopenia advances and there is a rapid decrease in platelets, this precedes the manifestation more specific and potentially deadly this phase: increases capillary permeability, leading to the loss of plasma and increase the hematocrit; a prospective cross-sectional study found that successive infections of the dengue virus increases the risk of serious dengue and a multicenter study concerns that more developed organic failures were respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological and hepatic.Conclusions. The implementation of the recommendations are directed mainly to the nursing interventions that contribute to the prevention, recovery, reduction of complications and limitation of patient with severe dengue.

[An experience nursing a patient with dengue hemorrhagic fever].

The case report presented a patient with dengue hemorrhagic fever after being bitten by an insect in a suburban area. The author observed and interviewed the patient and utilized Gorden's functional health scale to collect information, from Nov., 08 to Nov., 15 2002. Thrombocytopenia, febrile, and pain accompanied with dengue hemorrhagic fever were recorded during nursing evaluation. Lack of associated medical information contributed to the patient's anxiety status. The major nursing problems were changing of protection/ thrombocytopenia, hyperthermia, pain, and inadequacy of knowledge. The gum bleeding, fevers, and generalized bone pain were relieved by sincere listening and nursing intervention. In addition, medical information was delivered by way of a health information booklet to improve the understanding of the patient and ease the latter's anxiety status. Amid an increase in cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever in Taiwan, this case report might provide some valuable information to the nursing staff in order to enhance their ability to provide comprehensive care.

Evaluation of an algorithm for integrated management of childhood illness in an area of Vietnam with dengue transmission.

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether nurses, using the WHO/UNICEF algorithm for integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI), modified to include dengue infection, satisfactorily classified children in an area endemic for dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF). METHODS: Nurses assessed and classified, using the modified IMCI algorithm, a systematic sample of 1250 children aged 2 months to 10 years (n = 1250) presenting to a paediatric hospital in Dong Nai Province, Vietnam. Their classification was compared with that of a paediatrician, blind to the result of the nurses' assessment, which could be modified in the light of simple investigations, e.g. dengue serology. RESULTS: In children aged 2-59 months (n = 859), the nurses were able to classify, using the modified chart, the presenting illness in >99% of children and found more than one classification in 70%. For the children with pneumonia, diarrhoea, dengue shock syndrome, severe DHF and severe disease requiring urgent admission, the nurse's classification was >60% sensitive and >85% specific compared with that of the paediatrician. For the nurse's classification of DHF the specificity was 50-55% for the children <5 years and in children with definitive dengue serology. Alterations in the DHF algorithm improved specificity at the expense of sensitivity. CONCLUSION: Using the IMCI chart, nurses classified appropriately many of the major clinical problems in sick children <5 years in southern Vietnam. However, further modifications will be required in the fever section, particularly for dengue. The impact of using the IMCI chart in peripheral health stations remains to be evaluated.
