The purpose of the study was to know about the expectations had by chronic patients within th e Public Healthcare System in Andalusi a, concerning commu nication and making deci sions with the med ical professionals who take care of them duri ng the entire treatment process. A qualitative study was carried out in Andalusia, based on 19 i n-depth interviews and 17 focus groups with 15 4 chronic patients and their relatives, suffering from seven different types of illness, of which the content was later analyzed based on the type of disease (pathologies), and the level of care (Primary, Sp eci aliz ed or Em ergen cy Ser vices). The study shows that patients i ncl uded in all healthcare processes want information about their illness. In Primary Care, they value continued attention, closeness and trust as well as being referred to a proper specialist. In Specialized Care, they expect to receive trustworthy information, proper tests and a correct diagnosis, friendly treatment and to be listened to. In the Emergency Room, lack of tim e and overcrowding d i sru pt proper communic ation. The type of chronic illne ss i nfluenc es patients’ expectations in terms of communication and decisionmaking. Communic ation between patients and medical personnel and the decision-making process related to chronic illness are crucial for the improvement of the qualit y o f healthcare. The type of chr onic disease marks diffe rent expectation s about the communication and decision-making. The communication and the decision making in the chronic assistance is a priority to improve the quality of the assistance

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.

Assistance and transfer of critical patients often takes place in an environment in which the medium response time, playing against an appropriate and definitive treatment at a center useful. The relationship in this sense arises between the resources of the level of primary care and the medical helicopter transport system (HEMS), is caused by the need to shorten those response times and referral in areas where initial care is taken to DCCU out by, despite being timedependent pathology that requires a fast transfer can not be offered by them with the possibility of optimization. The support in this sense of HEMS is essential: The knowledge of the environment and the establishment of policy guidance are necessary.

The aim of this research is to know the barriers and opportunities that nursing professionals detect in their clinical practice in order to develop the culture of patient safety and to identify future research lines. This qualitative study is based on the DELPHI method, with a group of 19 nursing professionals from education and care practice, involving both primary and specialized care. Weaknesses and threats revolve around five categories: profession, organization and infrastructure; indicators; communication and safety culture; and safety training. Opportunities to improve safety cover six categories: organizational change; promotion of the safety culture, professional training and development; relationship with the patients; research; and strategic planning. Work is needed to improve safety and nursing should be ready to assume this leadership.

INTRODUCTION Vitamin D deficiency produces inadequate bone mineralization, proximal muscle weakness, abnormal gait and increased risk of falls and fractures. Moreover, in epidemiological studies, has been associated with increased risk of cancer, autoimmune diseases, type 1 and 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases and depression. When synthesis through the skin by sun exposure is not possible and the patient can not eat by mouth, as in the advanced stages of various neurological diseases, the supply of vitamin D has to be done by enteral nutrition. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to review the role of vitamin D in a common group of neurological conditions that often require artificial nutrition and analyze whether the vitamin D of different enteral nutrition formulas is adequate to meet the needs of this group of patients. RESULTS Numerous studies have shown the association between vitamin D deficiency and increased incidence of dementia, stroke and other neurodegenerative diseases. Interventions aimed to increase levels of vit. D and its effects on functional (falls, pain, quality of life) and cardiovascular goals (cardiovascular death, stroke, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular risk factors) have obtained as highlight data a clear reduction of falls and fractures, while the evidence for the other parameters studied is still limited and inconsistent. The content of calcium and vitamin D of enteral formulas is legislated in our country. The total amount of vitamin D for a daily intake of 1,500-2,000 kcal ranges between 300 and 1,600 IU/d (mean ± SD: 32.9 ± 8.5 mg/100 kcal) in the complete formulas for enteral nutrition most commonly used. 50% of the diets studied, for an intake of 2,000 kcal/d, and 90% for an intake of 1,500 kcal/d, provide less than 600 IU/d of vitamin D. DISCUSSION Some revised recently guidelines published recommendations of daily intake of vitamin D. The document published by the U.S. Institute of Medicine recommended for adults between 19 and 70 years, 600 IU/d and up from 70, proposes 800 IU/d of vitamin D. These amounts are deemed insufficient by other scientific societies to state that to achieve blood levels of 25 (OH) D equal or greater than 30 ng/ml may be required a daily intake of 1,500-2,000 IU and a number two or three times higher if previous deficiency exists. CONCLUSIONS Further controlled studies are needed to ascertain which is the appropriate dose of vitamin D in advanced stages of neurological disease, where sun exposure is difficult and unlikely. We suggest that the vitamin D content should probably be reconsidered in enteral nutrition formulas, which, in light of recent publications appear as clearly insufficient for standard energy intakes (1,500-2,000 kcal).

Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) improves the quality of life of the patients although it has complications. Catheter-related infections and mechanical complications are the most frequent ones. We report the case of endocarditis over catheter in a man suffering from short bowel and receiving HPN. The special features of the case are firstly the catheter was a remaining fragment on the right atrial and secondly the infection was caused by Trichoderma longibrachiatum, an isolated fact regarding this pathology so far. Conventional surgery was applied to take the catheter out. Staphylococcus epidermidis, Ochrobactrum anthropi and Trichoderma longibrachiatum were isolated from the surgical specimen. The extraction of the infected catheter along with antibiotic therapy led to the complete recovery of the subject. Ochrobactrum anthropi and Trichoderma longibrachiatum are unusual microorganisms but they are acquiring more relevance. Although there is no agreement about intravascular retained catheter management, the most recommended approach consists on monitoring them and removing the device in case of complications.

Introducción: Los nonagenarios son un grupo aún reducido, pero en expansión, se estima que en el año 2050 la población anciana en España alcance el 35,7% de la población, aumentando así su importancia relativa y planteando un importante desafío de salud pública Ellos tienen varias particularidades que hay que considerar para planificar futuras estrategias de atención especialmente en el acto quirúrgico dentro del que se calcula que el 3% requerirá en este periodo de vida una intervención quirúrgica por fractura de fémur. Objetivo: Realizamos un estudio retrospectivo de una serie de casos en el que se comparan características de pacientes nonagenarios que requieren intervención quirúrgica por fractura de fémur con un grupo de pacientes octogenarios sometidos a la misma intervención Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de 100 pacientes programados para cirugía por fractura de fémur en HSCSP, distribuidos en dos grupos de edad grupo 1 mayores o igual a 90 años y grupo 2 ancianos menores o igual de 89 años en el que se recogen datos preoperatorios, intraoperatorios y postoperatorios Resultados: Se incluyeron 100 pacientes divididos en dos grupos, grupo 1 n:50 pacientes mayores de 90 años con un 72% de mujeres, y un promedio de edad de 93.3 años, el grupo 2 n:50 pacientes con edad entre 80 y 89 años con un promedio de 81.1 años de los cuales 78% fueron mujeres y 22% hombres, las patologías más frecuentes en los dos grupos en el momento del preoperatorio fueron HTA 71%, Dislipemia 27% y demencia en un 24%, el 54% de los pacientes nonagenarios fueron clasificados como ASA III, mientras que el grupo 2 el mayor porcentaje (38%) fue ASA IV, El grupo 1 fue intervenido quirúrgicamente en promedio a los 3.12 días del ingreso, el grupo 2 a los 6.9 días, en total promedio de estancia hospitalaria fueron 11.3 días en los pacientes nonagenarios y 15.8 en los pacientes menores de 89 años. Respecto a la mortalidad a 1 mes no hay diferencias entre los dos grupos. Conclusiones Los pacientes mayores de 90 años clasificados como ASA II-III, serán siempre considerados como candidatos a procedimientos quirúrgicos dado que no presentan mayor comorbilidad que pacientes menores y la edad como único factor no es un factor excluyente para la intervención quirúrgica.

Se realizó un estudio observacional prospectivo, durante 6 meses, para determinar la incidencia y prevalencia de HIA y de SCA en pacientes grandes quemados, incluyendo todos los pacientes mayores de edad con quemaduras &20% superficie corporal total (SCT). n=10 pacientes, 8 (80%) = HIA, 1 (10%) = SCA. Incidencia de HIA = 0,6 casos/paciente-día, SCA = 0,1 casos/paciente-día. Ninguno de los pacientes sin HIA desarrolló ninguna disfunción orgánica; el 7 (87,5%) de los pacientes con HIA presentaron al menos un fallo orgánico. Así pues, en pacientes gran quemados la HIA presenta una importante prevalencia y se asocia a fallos orgánicos.
