Resumen

Introducción: En Panamá, así como en otras partes del mundo como España e Italia, se crearon Unidades de Cuidados Respiratorios Especiales para brindar soporte no invasivo a pacientes con insuficiencia respiratoria por neumonía por SARS-COV-2. En este trabajo se describen las características demográfica y clínicas de los pacientes que utilizaron ventilación no invasiva y/o cánula de alto flujo.  Material y métodos: El diseño del estudio fue prospectivo, observacional y descriptivo en dos hospitales de referencia en Panamá. Los pacientes firmaron un consentimiento informado y se procedió a llenar un cuestionario diario sobre las características demográficas y variables clínicas diarias.  Resultados: Se logró recolectar datos de 173 paciente, 60.69% correspondió al sexo masculino y se encontraban en una media de edad de 59 años, la comorbilidad más común fue la hipertensión arterial. El 88.75% de los pacientes tuvieron un NEWS 2 por arriba de 5 que indicaba mayor vigilancia por riesgo medio de paciente crítico, tanto la VMNI como el CAF tuvieron buenos resultados, 60% y 80% respectivamente. Conclusión: Nuestro estudio nos da luces sobre las características de los pacientes con insuficiencia respiratoria que requirieron dispositivos no invasivos y nos permite observar la evolución de estos en un contexto donde los recursos son limitados para terapia en cuidados intensivos.


Abstract

Introduction: In Panama, as in other parts of the world, Special Respiratory Care Units were created to provide non-invasive support to patients with respiratory failure due to SARS-COV-2 pneumonia. In this work, the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients who used non-invasive ventilation and/or high-flow cannula are described. Material and method: The study design was prospective, observational and descriptive in two Reference Hospitals in Panama. The patients signed an informed consent and proceeded to fill out a daily questionnaire on demographic characteristics and daily clinical variables. Results: We included 173 patients, 60.69% were male and had a mean age of 59 years, and the most common comorbidity was hypertension. In the evaluation of the risks, the 88.75% had a NEWS 2 above 5 that indicated greater vigilance due to the medium risk of a critical patient, both NIV and HFC had good results in 60% and 80% respectively. Conclusion: Our study sheds light on the characteristics of patients with respiratory failure who required non-invasive devices and allows us to observe their evolution in a context where resources are limited for intensive care therapy.
