Introducción. En nuestro hospital se está trabajando en un plan de mejora de calidad de las urgencias pediátricas que incluye, entre otras actuaciones, la protocolización de los procedimientos (mediante la revisión de la evidencia disponible) y la monitorización de su aplicación. Pacientes y métodos. Se revisa, según la evidencia disponible, el protocolo de urgencias de la parálisis facial. Se evalúa la aplicación del previo, consensuado en sesión hospitalaria en marzo del 2003, y se aplican de forma retrospectiva los indicadores diseñados en la revisión de junio de 2006. Se analizan los casos de parálisis facial a frigore valorados en urgencias de Pediatría desde marzo de 2003 hasta junio de 2006. Resultados. En el período de estudio fueron evaluados en Urgencias 27 pacientes con parálisis facial. En el 85,19% de los casos se describió la alteración de la mímica facial en el informe de urgencias. En el 77,78% de los casos constaba la normalidad de los demás pares craneales, y en el 77,78% del fondo de ojo. En el 44,44% se recogió la normalidad de la otoscopia; sólo en el 11,11% se especificaba la ausencia de vesículas herpéticas. Todos recibieron tratamiento con prednisona, fueron seguidos en la consulta de Neuropediatría y se resolvieron completamente, con una media de 58,6 días. Conclusiones. En el proceso de mejora de calidad es fundamental la elaboración de protocolos, y la evaluación de su cumplimiento mediante indicadores de calidad. El audit. y sus reevaluaciones facilitan la implantación del ciclo de aprendizaje y mejora en la atención sanitaria, vinculados a la excelencia del trabajo
Introduction. As result of our aim to improve the quality standard of our emergency system, work has been carried out in relation to the development and monitorization of effective clinical protocols in the department of paediatric practice. Patients and methods. An evidence based review approach was taken to design a clinical protocol about Bells palsy condition for the paediatric emergency department. Previous protocol approved in March 2003 was reviewed accordingly with the new designed protocols quality standards. The Bells palsy cases reported since March 2003 until June 2006 to paediatric emergency department were analyzed. Results. A total of 27 patients affected by Bells palsy were reported to the hospitals emergency department. Facial expression was described in 85.19% of the cases. Cranial nerves normal function was reported in 77.78%. Fundoscopic examination was described in 77.78% and otoscopic findings in 44.44%; the absence of herpes vesicles was analyzed only in 11.11%. All patients received steroid therapy (prednisone) and the treatment resulted in the complete recovery. The mean time to resolution was 58.6 days. Conclusions. In order to improve hospitals quality standards, clinical protocols should be designed and verified regularly to ensure the proper performance. Medical auditing also contributes to improve effectiveness in health attendance
