Documento de consenso SENPE/SEGHNP/ANECIPN/SECP sobre vías de acceso en nutrición enteral pediátrica.

Standardization of clinical procedures has become a desirable objective in contemporary medical practice. To this effect, the Spanish Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (SENPE) has endeavoured to create clinical practice guidelines and/or documents of consensus as well as quality standards in artificial nutrition. As a result, the SENPE´s Standardization Team has put together the "Document of Consensus in Enteral Access for Paediatric Nutritional Support" supported by the Spanish Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (SEGHNP), the National Association of Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care Nursery (ANECIPN), and the Spanish Society of Pediatric Surgery (SECP). The present publication is a reduced version of our work; the complete document will be published as a monographic issue. It analyzes enteral access options in the pediatric patient, reviews the levels of evidence and provides the team-members' experience. Similarly, it details general and specific indications for pediatric enteral support, current techniques, care guidelines, methods of administration and complications of each enteral access. The data published by the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) and several European Societies has also been incorporated.

Aplicación de la ecografía pediátrica en Atención Primaria; interconexión con la atención hospitalaria

Introduction: The use of ultrasound in pediatric Primary Care improves both the quality and efficiency of care. Material and methods: This study indertook 250 ultrasounds over a 12 moth period from May 2009 to April 2010. Results: Te results found for each anatomical region were 45% abdominal, 25% cranial, 15% of the hip, 10% of parotid and thyroids and 5% of tender areas. From these, the most relevant pathology was Gastroesophageal Reflux, acoounting for 7.2% of all ultrasounds undertaken. Renal pyelectasia accounted for 1.6% cephalhematoma 1.6%, dysplasia of the hip 1.2%, acute parotitis 1.2%, adenopathy 1.2%, cervical angioma 0.4%, and abscessed adenopathy 0.4%. Conclusion: From this analysis, we conclude that ultrasound is a useful tool for the detection of abdominal and cranial pathologies and secondarily, for thyroid, hip and cervical pathologies.

Recepción, clasificación según escala Manchester y atención sanitaria inicial al paciente que acude a un Dispositivo de Cuidados Críticos y Urgencias (DCCU) con motivo de consulta “Diabetes”: Posibilidad de intervención finalista de la enfermera en la consulta de triage (Triage Avanzado) ante la hipoglucemia. Colaboración multidisciplinar y criterios de derivación

The Andalusian Public Health System (SSPA) is considering the last time an attempt urgent process management through triage consultation, both hospital and primary care environment and tables situations in which the nurse responsible for these consultations can carry out a final statement of which only she is directly responsible through their independent intervention and referral (Triage Advanced). Pose, at once and consistently to the idea of teamwork, where they can be the limits to that intervention finalist and the circuits to follow. This paper proposes a definition line of one of those situations through triage concepts universally tested, and takes full advantage of advanced practice profile offered by nurses Device Critical Care (DCCU) of the SSPA and any the emerging legal and regulatory framework in terms of standardized collaborative prescription, us know legitimate receivers. This work stems from the vision of professionals and our contribution to that line of institutional work that must be consensus.

Guía para el desarrollo de Programas de intercambio de Jeringuillas (PIJ) desde la consulta de triage de los Dispositivos de Cuidados Críticos y Urgencias (DCCU)

There are exceptional situations where emergency services are required Primary Care in the application of material used by drug-dependent patients, being the response to this demand is something that many of the cases, to individual discretion and the randomness and variability every situation leads to an answer. It calls for a response commensurate to public services and preventive health philosophy in most cases will be carried out by the nurse to perform assistance Devices Critical Care (DCCU), often this first contact these patients and slots at the supply of resources diminishes the possibilities of acquisition of such material to them. That is why, and in the absence in this area of patient safety and professional, a workflow model and according to the prevailing philosophy of working in primary care in terms of prevention policies and recruitment of patients concerned, this project raises guidance for the development of a needle exchange program from the triage consultations DCCU.

Fractura bilateral de calcáneo en edad pediátrica. A propósito de un caso

OBJECTIVE: Propose and debate the treatment management for unusual traumatic pathology, both due to the age of the patient and the bilateral location. CLINICAL CASE: Bilateral calcaneal fracture in a ten year old male, after falling three meters to land on his heels. Examination revealed pain and swelling at that level, with no distal neurovascular alterations. After the clinical study, x-rays were taken, as well as a CAT scan which revealed a complex fracture of both calcanei. After 72 hours and verifying that the soft tissue was in optimal condition, the left calcaneus was immobilized with a closed cast while the right was trans!xed with a Steinmann pin following the Essex-Lopresti technique, achieved under scope to attain an acceptable reduction of the fracture and the congruency of all a"ected joints.

La consulta de terapia antitrombótica: progresando hacia la Enfermería de Práctica Avanzada.

There is currently around one million people receiving oral anticoagulants in Spain. The drug most used is acenocoumarol, which requires coagulation monitoring to ensure that the patient is within its normal therapeutic range. Patients usually start this treatment in a hospital clinic and, when they are stabilised, they are referred to primary care, where they are followed-up by their community nurses. The usual practice is that nurses are responsible for changes in the dose when the patients are outside the range. This practice is not performed by hospital nurses, despite having sufficient experience and knowledge to adequately manage these types of patients. An Advanced Nursing Practice model has been introduced into the Haematology management unit of the Hospital Universitario Virgen de la Victoria, Málaga. This involves various aspects of attention and care of patients on anticoagulant therapy, and includes adjusting the doses of their treatment following a catalogue of therapeutic and diagnostic ranges.

Detección de violencia contra la mujer en la consulta del médico de familia.

Objectives. To find out the magnitude of violence against female partners among patients who visit their family doctor. To study frequency and acceptance of its investigation by the family doctor and to assess the effectiveness of a screening question on abuse. Design. Descriptive, cross-sectional study. Setting. Primary care, 4 samples from 2 urban health centres in Jaén, Spain. Participants. Who participated 170 women randomly selected from the female consulting population. Measurements. Interviews by means of the Bradley modified test and the anxiety and depression Goldberg scales. Perceived health, frequency of detection of domestic violence, by the family doctor, and female opinions were also studied. Results. During the last year, abuse against women was detected in 22.9% of the female population consulting their family doctor (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 16.6-29.2). Abused women had a worse perception of health (odds ratio [OR] =4.2; 95% CI, 1.02-17.5) and a higher probability of depression (OR=4.7; 95% CI, 1.8-12.5) independently from the rest of variables. The question "How are the things going with your partner?" as a screening of abuse does obtain a positive probability quotient of 6.23 (95% CI, 3.6-10.9), a specificity of 89% and a negative predictive value of 90%. Of those interviewed, 96.5% would not mind if their family doctor approached the couple's relationships, a situation that occurs in 24.7% of cases. Conclusions. Some degree of abuse was detected in almost a quarter of women who consult their family doctor. Family doctors do not usually ask about family and partner relationships and environment, although for almost all women it is well appreciated and the item has an increased likelihood ratio and high negative predictive value in detecting abuse.
