LA DECISIÓN CLÍNICA EN UNA SITUACIÓN DE PANDEMIA

The contribution analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the national health system with particular reference to the role of the health care professional in patient management during the emergency state and the possibility of limiting, in view of the scarcity of technical and human resources, access to treatment of sick patients. The reflection takes into account, at the same time, the recommendations and opinions provided in this regard by institutional subjects and the role of the healthcare professional in the emergency management of the patient.
Advance care planning in participative social work practice
2009
Advanced and anticipatory care planning (acp) are processes for finding out and recording clients’ preferences for care and treatment in the future, and distinct from professional care planning as part of care management in coordinating service delivery. Developing from palliative care practice in recording patients’ decisions to refuse treatment made in advance of possible mental incapacity at end of life, acp processes have recently extended to health and social care provision for long-term conditions. The process aims to engage clients, family members and informal caregivers in thinking ahead about managing difficult care situations. Research indicates that this increases clients’ satisf…
La agenda oculta del trabajo invisible: aproximación teórica y categorización
2015
<p>Los estudios sobre corresponsabilidad en el trabajo doméstico y en la sostenibilidad de la vida han valorado las desigualdades entre hombre y mujeres en el reparto de las funciones domésticas y de cuidado, pero —hasta el momento— han dejado de lado algunas tareas que por sus características resultan más difusas. Nuestra investigación pretende comprobar cuáles son las tareas que siguen siendo invisibles actualmente, de modo que puedan ser incorporadas para futuros análisis y colaborar, con esta visibilización, a su consideración social y a la corresponsabilidad plena como aspiración imprescindible de igualdad entre sexos.</p>
Epidemiology and patterns of tracheostomy practice in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome in ICUs across 50 countries
2018
Background: To better understand the epidemiology and patterns of tracheostomy practice for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), we investigated the current usage of tracheostomy in patients with ARDS recruited into the Large Observational Study to Understand the Global Impact of Severe Acute Respiratory Failure (LUNG-SAFE) study. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of LUNG-SAFE, an international, multicenter, prospective cohort study of patients receiving invasive or noninvasive ventilation in 50 countries spanning 5 continents. The study was carried out over 4 weeks consecutively in the winter of 2014, and 459 ICUs participated. We evaluated the clinical characteris…
Immunocompromised patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: Secondary analysis of the LUNG SAFE database
2018
Background: The aim of this study was to describe data on epidemiology, ventilatory management, and outcome of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in immunocompromised patients. Methods: We performed a post hoc analysis on the cohort of immunocompromised patients enrolled in the Large Observational Study to Understand the Global Impact of Severe Acute Respiratory Failure (LUNG SAFE) study. The LUNG SAFE study was an international, prospective study including hypoxemic patients in 459 ICUs from 50 countries across 5 continents. Results: Of 2813 patients with ARDS, 584 (20.8%) were immunocompromised, 38.9% of whom had an unspecified cause. Pneumonia, nonpulmonary sepsis, and noncardiog…
Abdominal infections in the intensive care unit: characteristics, treatment and determinants of outcome
2014
Background: Abdominal infections are frequent causes of sepsis and septic shock in the intensive care unit (ICU) and are associated with adverse outcomes. We analyzed the characteristics, treatments and outcome of ICU patients with abdominal infections using data extracted from a one-day point prevalence study, the Extended Prevalence of Infection in the ICU (EPIC) II.Methods: EPIC II included 13,796 adult patients from 1,265 ICUs in 75 countries. Infection was defined using the International Sepsis Forum criteria. Microbiological analyses were performed locally. Participating ICUs provided patient follow-up until hospital discharge or for 60 days.Results: Of the 7,087 infected patients, 1,…

Outcome of acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure: insights from the LUNG SAFE Study
2020
BackgroundCurrent incidence and outcome of patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) are unknown, especially for patients not meeting criteria for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).MethodsAn international, multicentre, prospective cohort study of patients presenting with hypoxaemia early in the course of mechanical ventilation, conducted during four consecutive weeks in the winter of 2014 in 459 ICUs from 50 countries (LUNG SAFE). Patients were enrolled with arterial oxygen tension/inspiratory oxygen fraction ratio ≤300 mmHg, new pulmonary infiltrates and need for mechanical ventilation with a positive end-e…

Factores Protectores y de Riesgo en Profesionales de Cuidados Paliativos en Brasil
2018
La importancia del estudio de la calidad de vida profesional ha emergido como una cuestión de interés en la literatura en salud, con énfasis en profesionales que afrontan diariamente situaciones de sufrimiento y muerte. Las dificultades de lidiar con esta realidad se constatan en diferentes estudios, y presentan la convivencia con la muerte como uno de los principales factores estresores en el ambiente laboral. Cuando se comparan con otras clases trabajadoras, los profesionales sanitarios presentan mayores niveles de desarrollo de enfermedades relacionadas con el estrés. Estos factores a su vez, pueden desencadenar distintos sentimientos reactivos e influir en la calidad de vida profesional…
