RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The main objective of the study was to evaluate the influence of arterial hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, smoking, alcoholism and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) on the viability of the extracted tissue as well as the donor. DESIGN: Observational case-control study. SETTING: Regional hospital in Northern Spain. PARTICIPANTS: 1517 corneas were registered. INTERVENTIONS: Patients' medical history was reviewed after corneal donation and evaluation. Previous medical information (age, sex and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs)) and data related to the donor (type of donor), the corneal tissue and its evaluation, and the viability of the implant were collected. RESULTS: A total of 1517 corneas were registered and 81.5% of the donors presented at least one CVRF. In relation to the viability of the donor, it was observed that having suffered from COPD reduced the viability of the donor (no COPD: 93.8% vs COPD: 88%; OR=0.49; 95% CI: 0.28 to 0.84) while alcohol consumption increased it (drinker or ex-drinker: 95.8% vs non-drinker: 92.5%; OR=1.84; 95% CI: 1.01 to 3.33). Regarding tissue viability, decreased viability was observed in the presence of COPD (no COPD: 72.5% vs COPD: 64; OR=0.67; 95% CI: 0.47 to 0.96) and diabetes mellitus (no diabetes: 72.9% vs diabetes: 67.2%; OR=0.76; 95% CI: 0.58 to 0.99). As regards the viability of the implant, a total of 1039 corneas (68.9%) were suitable, observing decreased viability when suffering from COPD (no COPD: 69.8% vs COPD: 60.7%; OR=0.67; 95% CI: 0.47 to 0.94) and increased when having an active smoking habit (no habit: 65.3% vs habit: 74.1%; OR=1.52; 95% CI: 1.21 to 1.91). CONCLUSIONS: Through this study, it can be concluded that in the absence of absolute exclusion criteria for donors, the assessment of how CVRF, alcoholism and COPD may affect the donor provides details about the quality of the tissue to be obtained.

AIM: To evaluate the influence of time on arterial blood gas values after artery puncture is performed. METHOD: Prospective longitudinal observational study carried out with gasometric samples from 86 patients, taken at different time intervals (0 (T0), 15 (T15), 30 (T30) and 60 (T60) min), from 21 October 2019 to 21 October 2020. The study variables were: partial pressure of carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, hematocrit, hemoglobin, potassium, lactic acid, pH, partial pressure of oxygen, saturation of oxygen, sodium and glucose. RESULTS: The initial sample consisted of a total of 90 patients. Out of all the participants, four were discarded as they did not understand the purpose of the study; therefore, the total number of participants was 86, 51% of whom were men aged 72.59 on average (SD: 16.23). In the intra-group analysis, differences in PCO2, HCO3, hematocrit, Hb, K+ and and lactic acid were observed between the initial time of the test and the 15, 30 and 60 min intervals. In addition, changes in pH, pO2, SO2, Na and glucose were noted 30 min after the initial sample had been taken. CONCLUSIONS: The variation in the values, despite being significant, has no clinical relevance. Consequently, the recommendation continues to be the analysis of the GSA at the earliest point to ensure the highest reliability of the data and to provide the patient with the most appropriate treatment based on those results.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The Spanish model is the model adopted by many countries to increase their donation rate, being the implication of the healthcare professionals one of the keys to this success. The attitude of these before the donation is crucial for the hour of influence on the population. Organ transplantation has been established as an effective treatment that has been improving over the years. The objective was to determine the knowledge and attitudes of health professionals before the donation of organs. METHODS: Cross-sectional descriptive study. An ad hoc questionnaire was conducted and distributed among the health professionals (medical staff, nurses and nursing assistants) of a tertiary hospital during February 2015. A total of 615 potential participants were estimated in the different areas of the hospital. A total of 342 completed questionnaires were collected (55%). The statistical analysis with SPSS® Statistics for Windows. Version 20.0. A level of significance P lower than 0.05 was used in all the analyses. RESULTS: The average age of the respondents was 43.34 (SD = 10.37) years, being 86.6% women and 60% nurses. 35.5% showed good knowledge about the donation process, being higher in men (51.1% Vs 33.1%, p lower than 0.05), medical personnel (55% vs 34.3% vs 31.9%). %; p lower than 0.05) and lower in those services with a direct relationship with the donation process (36.8% vs 31.9%, p lower than 0.05). 71% of the professionals expressed their willingness to donate their organs, with special sensitivity towards donation those services in direct relation with the donation program (82.2% vs 65.9%, OR: 1.24, p lower than 0.001 ). 50% of the professionals would donate the organs of a family member; the medical group had the highest percentage (70% vs 50.7% vs 40.4%, OR: 3.8, p lower than 0.05). 74.5% knew some Spanish legal document about donation and transplants. CONCLUSIONS: Health professionals as a whole have a low level of knowledge; but a good attitude towards donation.
OBJETIVO: El modelo español es el modelo adoptado por numerosos países para aumentar su tasa de donación siendo una de las claves de este éxito la implicación de los trabajadores sanitarios. La actitud de estos ante la donación resulta crucial a la hora de influir sobre la población. El trasplante de órganos se ha establecido como un tratamiento efectivo que ha ido mejorando a lo largo de los años. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar los conocimientos y actitudes de los profesionales sanitarios ante la donación de órganos. METODOS: Estudio descriptivo transversal. Se realizó un cuestionario ad hoc y se distribuyó entre los profesionales sanitarios (personal médico, enfermería y auxiliares de enfermería) de un hospital de tercer nivel durante febrero 2015. Se estimó un total de 615 potenciales participantes en las diferentes áreas del hospital. Se recogieron un total de 342 cuestionarios cumplimentados en su totalidad (55%). El análisis estadístico se realizó con SPSS® versión 20.0 versión Windows. Se utilizó un nivel de significación P menor de 0.05 en todos los análisis. RESULTADOS: El promedio de edad de los encuestados fue de 43,34 (DT=10,37) años, siendo el 86,6% mujeres y el 60% enfermeras. El 35,5% mostraron buenos conocimientos sobre el proceso de donación, siendo mayor en hombres (51,1% Vs 33,1%;p menor de 0,05), personal médico (55% vs 34,3% vs 31,9%;p menor de 0,05) e inferior en aquellos servicios con una relación directa con el proceso de donación (36,8% vs 31,9%;p menor de 0,05). El 71% de los profesionales manifestaron estar dispuestos a donar sus órganos, con especial sensibilidad hacia la donación aquellos servicios en relación directa con el programa de donación (82,2% vs 65,9%; OR:1,24;p menor de 0,001). El 50% de los profesionales donarían los órganos de un familiar; siendo el colectivo médico el que presentaba un porcentaje mayor (70% vs 50,7% vs 40,4%; OR:3,8; p menor de 0,05). El 74,5% conocía algún documento legal español sobre donación y trasplantes. CONCLUSIONES: Los profesionales de la salud en su conjunto tienen un bajo nivel de conocimiento, pero una buena actitud hacia la donación.
