Focal points: A systematic review of the use of proton pump inhibitors was conducted among patients undergoing diagnostic fibreoptic endoscopic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract during the period July 2001 to February 2002 inclusive A total of 2,557 patients received a PPI following endoscopy and healing doses were prescribed to 75.3 per cent of these patients An “unknown indication” was stated as a diagnosis in 958 patients (37.5 per cent) of patients studied Although endoscopic diagnosis does not appear possible in all cases, the present study demonstrates that NICE guidance to employ the lowest appropriate dose of PPI is followed

Non-attendance at paediatric outpatient appointments results in delayed diagnosis and treatment, putting children at risk of avoidable ill health, and incurring considerable health service costs. Links between missed appointments and clinical, socio-demographic, and access-related factors have been indicated, but parental cognitions associated with non-attendance have yet to be investigated. The aims of this project were to evaluate the effectiveness and theoretical bases of existing interventions designed to reduce non-attendance; to consider the ways in which missed appointments are managed by healthcare providers; to explore parents’ beliefs and experiences of attending and missing appointments; and to investigate the factors underlying these beliefs. A systematic literature review focusing on non-attendance interventions was conducted Within a mixed methods framework, interviews were conducted with healthcare professionals, subsequent interviews were conducted with parents who had attended or missed a General Paediatric outpatient appointment, and a cross-sectional questionnaire study of parents’ beliefs was implemented. The systematic review revealed that text message appointment reminders are effective at reducing non-attendance rates, but that no interventions have thus far been developed using theories of behaviour. Healthcare professionals recognised both barriers and parents’ beliefs as influences on attendance, but also believed there were ‘types’ of families who miss appointments. Healthcare professionals disagreed somewhat about how non-attendance should best be managed. The parent interview study found six themes. The findings reflect parents’ perceptions about the importance of attending and of their ability to attend. The results of the questionnaire study corroborate this structure of beliefs as the analysis produced two factors, the perceived ‘worth’ of attending and anticipated ‘worry’ when attending. This thesis demonstrates an original approach to investigating non-attendance at children’s outpatient appointments, using mixed methods and adopting a psychological rather than service-use perspective. The findings contribute to Health Psychology theory and offer recommendations for healthcare providers.

Determinar la prevalencia de infección del sitio de la herida quirúrgica y factores asociados en pacientes que acudieron al Centro Quirúrgico del hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso, de la ciudad de Cuenca, en el 2007-2008.Se realizó un estudio transversal; en un universo de 385 pacientes. Los datos se obtuvieron por entrevista directa y se analizaron con el software Excel y Epi-Info. Resultados. La prevalencia de infección del sitio de la herida quirúrgica fue del 10.6(IC 959.03-12.17). La mayoría fueron de sexo femenino; la edad varió entre los 16 y 87 años. La asociación entre infección del sitio de la herida quirúrgica con cirugía de emergencia proporcionó una p=0.019 (IC 95de la RP 1.10 - 3.99); con cirugía convencional p= 0.778 (IC 95de RP 0.61-1.95); con herida limpia p= 0.238 (IC 95de RP 0.10 - 1.55); con la utilización de cefazolina p= 0.023 (IC 95de la RP 0.09-0.94) y con el tiempo quirúrgico menos de una hora p= 0.000 (IC 95de RP 0.01-0.32). Conclusión, la prevalencia de infección del sitio de la herida quirúrgica fue del 10.6(IC 959.03-12.17). La cirugía de emergencia fue factor de riesgo para infección del sitio de la herida quirúrgica y la cefazolina, utilizado como antibiótico profiláctico, y el tiempo quirúrgico, menos de una hora, fueron factores de protección

Background: Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) was introduced in Spain in the late 1980s. Our hospital was a pioneering medical centre in this field. Aim: Analyze outcomes of our HPN program. Methods: Retrospective study of patients receiving HPN between 1986-2012. Study variables are expressed as frequency, mean ± SD (range), median [interquartile range]. Parametrics, non-parametrics test and survival analysis (p < 0.05) were applied. Results: 91 patients (55 females and 36 males, mean age: 50.6 ± 5 yrs.) who received HPN for an accrual period of 55,470 days (median: 211 days [range: 63-573]) were included. The most prevalent underlying condition was cancer (49.5%), with the commonest HPN indication being short bowel syndrome (41.1%). The most frequently used catheter type was the tunneled catheter (70.7%). The complication rate was 3.58/1,000 HPN days (2.68, infection; 0.07, occlusion; 0.07 thrombosis; and 0.59, metabolic complications). Complications were consistently associated with both the underlying condition and HPN length. Infections were most frequent within the first 1,000 days of HPN. Liver disease incidence was related to HPN duration. HPN could be discontinued in 42.3% of patients. Ten-year survival rate was 42%, and varied across the underlying conditions. Conclusions: In the present series, the commonest reason for HPN was cancer. Our complication rate is in keeping with that reported in the literature. The overall survival rate was 42%, and varied across the underlying conditions.

Es un estudio clínico controlado se incluyeron 100 pacientes adultos, ASA I-II de ambos sexos, en dos grupos de 50 pacientes cada uno seleccionados aleatoriamente: grupo A recibió 10 mcg.Kg-1 de fentanil y grupo B) recibió 15 mcg.kg-1 de fentanil. Se aplicó un formulario durante los 12 min de la inducción y a las 6 horas de posanestésico para valorar el recuerdo del procedimiento y de la intubación endotraqueal. No hubieron diferencias entre los grupos en cuanto a edad, sexo, procedencia, instrucción y tipo de cirugía. El procedimiento de inducción fue recordado por menor porcentaje de pacientes de grupo B. La intubación endotraqueal registró el 88 por ciento de olvido en el grupo A. y el 96 por ciento en el B [P mayor 0.05]. El recuerdo de la intubación endotraqueal no fue traumático y hubo un 4 por ciento de euforia transitoria en el grupo B. Las variaciones hemodinámicas en cuanto a pulso, TA y SpO2 medidas en cuatro momentos: basal, 4 min, 8 min y 12 min no fueron estadísticamente signigicativas

Objetivos: Conocer el procedimiento de actuación ante una exposición laboral a Tos ferina. Material y Métodos: Exposición laboral del personal sanitario ante un paciente trasplantado renal e inmunosuprimido, que ingresa en la urgencia de un hospital terciario de la comunidad de Madrid, que posteriormente fue diagnosticado de Tos ferina. Notificación al SPRL e identificación de los Servicios en los cuales permaneció ingresado el paciente, para el posterior seguimiento del personal expuesto. Resultados: Acudieron 43 trabajadores, 39 de ellos recibieron quimioprofilaxis, se inició tratamiento con claritromicina, hasta disponer de azitromicina, por mejor cumplimiento por parte del personal. Se recomendó refuerzo vacunal anti Tos ferina (dTpa) a todos los expuestos. Conclusiones: La situación epidemiológica actual de la Tos ferina en España nos obliga a tener presente la actuación a realizar ante una exposición laboral a Tos ferina y la necesidad de incorporar nuevas estrategias vacunales para un mejor control de la infección.
