Evaluación del grado de aceptación de un producto integrador en las UA de Física por el estudiante de la FIME

La física como ciencia básica es parte fundamental del desarrollo de los estudiantes de ingeniería que permiten potencializar o incrementar las habilidades de los mismos, en el contexto de la resolución de problemas actuales. El desarrollo y creación de prototipos como proyecto integrador contribuye a la implementación de conocimientos adquiridos en la asignatura de tal modo que, mediante esta actividad, se atrae la atención de los estudiantes hacia la investigación y resolución de problemas de campo abierto. Además, coadyuvar al desarrollo académico del alumnado, que le permiten adquirir habilidades de trabajo en equipo inter y multidisciplinario, siendo esto la base para la creación de un proyecto final que impacta de manera directa en la ponderación de las asignaturas.

Comparison of the eficacy and safety of 4 mg of ondansetron vs. 4 mg of nalbuphine for the treatment of neuraxial morphineinduced pruritus

Objective: To compare the eficacy and safety of 4 mg of ondansetron vs. 4 mg of nalbuphine for the treatment of neuraxial morphine-induced pruritus, in patients at the “Dr. José Eleuterio González” University Hospital from September 2012 to August 2013. Material and methods: A controlled, prospective, randomized study of 28 patients (14 per group) receiving neuraxial morphine analgesia was conducted, which was registered and approved by the ethics Committee of the Institution and patients agreed to participate in the study under informed consent. The results were segmented and contrasted (according to drug) by hypothesis testing; the association was determined by X2 with a 95% conidence interval (CI). Results: Pruritus was effectively resolved in both groups and no signiicant difference was found in the rest of the variables. An increase in the visual analogue scale (eVA) was observed at 6 and 12 hours for the ondansetron group, which was statistically signiicant (p≤0.05), however both groups had an eVA of less than 3. Conclusions: When comparing the eficacy and safety of ondansetron 4 mg vs. nalbuphine 4 mg for the treatment of neuraxial morphine induced pruritus, the only signiicant difference found was the mean eVA at 6 and 12 hours, favoring the ondansetron group. However, both groups scored less than 3 on the eVA. Therefore, we consider that both treatments are effective and safe in the treatment of pruritus caused by neuraxial morphine.
