RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to determine the role of serum glucose-potassium ratio in predicting inhospital mortality in coronary care unit patients. METHODS: This study used data from the MORtality in CORonary Care Units in Turkey study, a national, observational, multicenter study that included all patients admitted to coronary care units between September 1, 2022, and September 30, 2022. Statistical analyses assessed the independent predictors of mortality. Two models were created. Model 1 included age, history of heart failure, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease. Model 2 included glucose-potassium ratio in addition to these variables. Multivariate regression and receiver operating characteristic analysis were performed to compare Model 1 and Model 2 to identify if the glucose-potassium ratio is an independent predictor of inhospital mortality. RESULTS: In a study of 3,157 patients, the mortality rate was 4.3% (n=137). Age (p=0.002), female gender (p=0.004), mean blood pressure (p<0.001), serum creatinine (p<0.001), C-reactive protein (p=0.002), white blood cell (p=0.002), and glucose-potassium ratio (p<0.001) were identified as independent predictors of mortality through multivariate regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated that Model 2 had a statistically higher area under the curve than Model 1 (area under the curve 0.842 vs area under the curve 0.835; p<0.001). A statistically significant correlation was found between the inhospital mortality and glucose-potassium ratio (OR 1.015, 95%CI 1.006-1.024, p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Our study showed that the glucose-potassium ratio may be a significant predictor of inhospital mortality in coronary care unit patients.

RESUMEN

Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the most serious manifestation of coronary heart disease. The Infarction Code (according to its initialism in Spanish, CI: Código Infarto) program aims to improve the care of these patients. Objective: To describe the clinical presentation and outcomes of CI program in a coronary care unit (CCU). Material and methods: A database of a CCU with 5 years of consecutive records was analyzed. Patients diagnosed with ACS were included. The groups with acute myocardial infarction with and without ST-segment elevation were compared using Student's t, Mann-Whitney U and chi-squared tests. We calculated the relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of cardiovascular risk factors for mortality. Results: A total of 4678 subjects were analyzed, 78.7% men, mean age 63 years (± 10.7). 80.76% presented acute myocardial infarction with positive ST-segment elevation and fibrinolytic was granted in 60.8% of cases. Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed in 81.4% of patients, which was successful in 82.5% of events. Patients classified as CI presented mortality of 6.8% vs. 11.7%, p = 0.001. Invasive mechanical ventilation had an RR of 26.58 (95% CI: 20.61-34.3) and circulatory shock an RR of 20.86 (95% CI: 16.16-26.93). Conclusions: The CI program decreased mortality by 4.9%. Early fibrinolysis and successful coronary angiography are protective factors for mortality within CCU.

Introducción: el síndrome coronario agudo (SICA) es la manifestación más grave de la enfermedad coronaria. El programa Código Infarto (CI) tiene como objetivo mejorar la atención de estos pacientes. Objetivo: describir la presentación clínica y los resultados del programa CI de una unidad de cuidados coronarios (UCC). Material y métodos: se analizó una base de datos de una UCC con 5 años de registros consecutivos. Se incluyeron pacientes con diagnóstico de SICA. Se compararon los grupos con infarto agudo de miocardio con y sin elevación del segmento ST mediante las pruebas t de Student, U de Mann-Whitney y chi cuadrada. Se calculó el riesgo relativo (RR) y el intervalo de confianza del 95% (IC 95%) de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular para mortalidad. Resultados: se analizaron 4678 sujetos, 78.7% hombres, con media de edad de 63 años (± 10.7). El 80.76% presentó infarto agudo de miocardio con desnivel positivo del segmento ST y se otorgó fibrinolítico en el 60.8% de los casos. Se realizó intervencionismo coronario percutáneo en el 81.4% de los pacientes, el cual fue exitoso en el 82.5% de los eventos. Los pacientes catalogados como CI presentaron mortalidad del 6.8% frente a 11.7%, p = 0.001. La ventilación mecánica invasiva tuvo una RR de 26.58 (IC 95%: 20.61-34.3) y el choque circulatorio una RR de 20.86 (IC 95%: 16.16-26.93). Conclusiones: el programa CI disminuyó 4.9% la mortalidad.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To identify the need of family members of patients hospitalized in a coronary intensive care unit and their degree of satisfaction with the care provided. METHODS: An observational and cross-sectional study including family members of patients hospitalized in the coronary intensive care unit for acute coronary syndrome in Killip I or II. After the second visit of the same family member to the patient in the unit, a 43-item inventory of needs and stressors of family members was applied. Family members assessed each need for its importance and satisfaction using a four-point Likert scale. The scores in each dimension of importance and satisfaction were compared using the Wilcoxon test, considering a value of p<0.05 as significant. RESULTS: One hundred family members were interviewed. The most important needs were related to assurance and information. Family members had satisfaction scores corresponding to be very satisfied or totally satisfied, but with lower scores when compared to the needs scores (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: The most important needs of family members of patients hospitalized in the coronary intensive care unit were related to assurance and information. Multiprofessional interventions involving better communication of patient information to family members should be incorporated into the coronary intensive care unit.

RESUMEN

AIMS: Poor sleep is a frequent occurrence in the critical illness. Evaluate sleep quality and test the effect of a multi-intervention sleep care protocol in improving sleep quality in a coronary care unit (CCU). METHODS AND RESULTS: Quasi-experimental study, carried out in two phases. During the first phase, the control group (n = 58 patients) received usual care. Baseline sleep data were collected through the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) and the Sleep in the Intensive Care Unit Questionnaire (SICUQ). During the second phase (n = 55 patients), a sleep care protocol was implemented. Interventions included actions to promote analgesia, reduce noise, brightness, and other general measures. Sleep data were collected again to assess the impact of these interventions. The intervention group had better scores in overall sleep depth [median (interquartile range)] [81 (65-96.7) vs. 69.7 (50-90); P = 0.046]; sleep fragmentation [90 (65-100) vs. 69 (42.2-92.7); P = 0.011]; return to sleep [90 (69.7-100) vs. 71.2 (40.7-96.5); P = 0.007]; sleep quality [85 (65-100) vs. 71.1 (49-98.1); P = 0.026]; and mean RCSQ score [83 (66-94) vs. 66.5 (45.7-87.2); P = 0.002] than the baseline group. The main barriers to sleep were pain [1 (1.0-5.5)], light [1 (1.0-5.0)], and noise [1 (1.0-5.0)]. The most rated sources of sleep-disturbing noise were heart monitor alarm [3 (1.0-5.25)], intravenous pump alarm [1.5 (1.0-5.00)]. and mechanical ventilator alarm [1 (1.0-5.0)]. All were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the baseline group. CONCLUSION: A multi-intervention protocol was feasible and effective in improving different sleep quality parameters and reducing some barriers to sleep in CCU patients.

RESUMEN

Introducción: A pesar de las nuevas técnicas para la reperfusión del vaso en el infarto agudo de miocardio, las complicaciones y la mortalidad en estos pacientes es elevada. La hiperglucemia y la leucocitosis se han descrito como factores de riesgo y de peor pronóstico. Objetivo: Evaluar la capacidad predictiva de la hiperglucemia y la leucocitosis de complicaciones intrahospitalarias en pacientes con infarto de miocardio agudo con elevación del segmento ST. Material y Métodos: Estudio prospectivo de cohorte desde 2013 hasta 2020 que incluyó a 507 pacientes consecutivos que ingresaron en la Unidad de Cuidados Coronarios del Hospital Militar Central Dr. Carlos J. Finlay y el Hospital General Docente Enrique Cabrera con el diagnóstico de infarto del miocardio agudo con elevación del segmento ST. Se dividieron los pacientes de acuerdo con la ocurrencia de complicaciones intrahospitalarias. Resultados: Los valores de glucemia y leucograma presentaron diferencias significativas entre los grupos de pacientes (p = 0,002 y p = 0,005; respectivamente). La capacidad discriminativa de ambos exámenes se clasificó como mala. El análisis univariado de regresión logística reveló que la glucemia y el leucograma eran factores de riesgo para la aparición de complicaciones, pero solo el leucograma se consideró un predictor independiente del evento final del estudio. Al asociar los valores de leucograma al modelo multivariado, se elevó su capacidad predictiva (área bajo la curva: 0,735; p < 0,001). Conclusiones: La leucocitosis es un predictor independiente de complicaciones intrahospitalarias en pacientes con Infarto del miocardio agudo con elevación del segmento ST(AU)

ABSTRACT Introduction: Despite the use of novel techniques for reperfusion of the vessel in acute myocardial infarction, complications and mortality in these patients are high. Hyperglycemia and leukocytosis have been described as risk factors and worse prognosis. Objective: To evaluate the predictive capacity of hyperglycemia and leukocytosis for in-hospital complications of myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation patients. Material and Methods: Prospective cohort study conducted from 2013 to 2020 that included 507 consecutive patients admitted to the Intensive Coronary Care Unit of the Dr. Carlos J. Finlay Central Military Hospital and the Enrique Cabrera General Teaching Hospital with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction with ST- segment elevation. The patients were divided into groups according to the occurrence of in-hospital complications. Results: The values of glycemia and leukocyteswere significantly different among the groups of patients (p = 0.002 and p = 0.005; respectively). The discriminative capability of both tests was classified as bad. The univariate analysis of logistic regression revealed that glycemia and leukocytes were risk factors for the appearance of complications, but only the leukocyte test was considered as an independent predictor of the final event of the study. When the values of the leukocyte test were associated with the multivariate model, its predictive capacity increased (area under curve: 0.735; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Leukocytosis is an independent predictor of in-hospital complications of acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation(AU)

RESUMEN

Introducción: El síndrome de Wellens constituye un equivalente del síndrome coronario agudo con elevación del segmento ST. Este incluye dos patrones electrocardiográficos que sugieren lesión crítica de la arteria descendente anterior. Objetivo: Evaluar probables factores asociados al síndrome de Wellens en pacientes con síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del segmento ST y lesiones coronarias significativas en la arteria descendente anterior. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, analítico, transversal en pacientes con diagnóstico de síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del ST y lesión significativa en la arteria descendente anterior, comprobada mediante coronariografía, ingresados en la unidad de cuidados coronarios intensivos del Hospital Clínico-Quirúrgico Manuel Fajardo entre el 2016 y 2019. Resultados: La edad media fue de 66 años, predominó el sexo masculino (53,9 por ciento) y el antecedente de hipertensión arterial (89,5 por ciento). Los pacientes con síndrome de Wellens tuvieron un significativo menor porcentaje de antecedente de cardiopatía isquémica (58,1 por ciento vs. 84,8 por ciento; p = 0,012). Además, el síndrome arrojó asociación estadísticamente muy significativa con la condición de fumador activo (51,2 por ciento vs. 15,2 por ciento; p < 0,01). No se encontró relación estadística significativa entre el síndrome de Wellens y el resultado angiográfico. Conclusiones: La presencia de los patrones electrocardiográficos del síndrome de Wellens se asocia con el hábito tabáquico en pacientes con síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del segmento ST y lesiones coronarias en la arteria descendente anterior, y su ausencia se asocia con el antecedente de cardiopatía isquémica en el mismo subgrupo de individuos(AU)

Introduction: Wellens' syndrome is equivalent to acute coronary syndrome with ST-segment elevation. It includes two electrocardiographic patterns suggesting a critical lesion in the anterior descending artery. Objective: Evaluate probable factors associated to Wellens' syndrome in patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation and significant coronary lesions in the anterior descending artery. Methods: A cross-sectional observational analytical study was conducted of patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation and significant lesion in the anterior descending artery verified by coronary arteriography, admitted to the intensive coronary care unit at Manuel Fajardo Clinical Surgical Hospital in the period 2016-2019. Results: Mean age was 66 years, with a predominance of the male sex (53.9 percent) and a history of hypertension (89.5 percent). Patients with Wellens' syndrome had a significantly lower percentage of ischemic heart disease antecedents (58.1 percent vs. 84.8 percent; p = 0.012). A very significant statistical association was observed between the syndrome and active smoking (51.2 percent vs. 15.2 percent; p < 0.01). A significant statistical relationship was not found between Wellens' syndrome and angiographic results. Conclusions: The presence of electrocardiographic patterns of Wellens' syndrome is associated to smoking in patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation and coronary lesions in the anterior descending artery, whereas their absence is associated to a history of ischemic heart disease in the same subgroup of individuals(AU)

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: This work sought to determine the level of anxiety in relatives of patients admitted to CCUs and its relationship with spiritual health and religious coping. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 relatives of Cardiac Care Units patients in Jahrom, Iran. Required data was collected using the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Paloutzian-Ellison Spiritual Well Being Scale (SWBS), and the Pargament Brief RCOPE questionnaire. RESULTS: The results showed that both levels of state and trait anxiety were moderate and the level of total spiritual health was high. Anxiety score had an inverse relationship with spiritual health (r=-0.52) and a direct relationship with negative religious coping score (r=0.25). However, no significant relationship was found between total anxiety score and positive religious coping (p < 0.05). There was a direct relationship between spiritual health and positive religious coping (r=0.19), and an inverse relationship between spiritual health and negative religious coping (r=-0.36). CONCLUSIONS: According to the findings of the study, it is suggested to paying attention to the reinforcement of spiritual attitudes, beliefs, and religious coping strategies to reduce their anxiety in CCU patients.

RESUMEN

Objective. This work sought to determine the level of anxiety in relatives of patients admitted to CCUs and its relationship with spiritual health and religious coping. Methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 relatives of Cardiac Care Units patients in Jahrom, Iran. Required data was collected using the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Paloutzian-Ellison Spiritual Well Being Scale (SWBS), and the Pargament Brief RCOPE questionnaire. Results. The results showed that both levels of state and trait anxiety were moderate and the level of total spiritual health was high. Anxiety score had an inverse relationship with spiritual health (r=-0.52) and a direct relationship with negative religious coping score (r=0.25). However, no significant relationship was found between total anxiety score and positive religious coping (p>0.05). There was a direct relationship between spiritual health and positive religious coping (r=0.19), and an inverse relationship between spiritual health and negative religious coping (r=-0.36). Conclusion. According to the findings of the study, it is suggested to paying attention to the reinforcement of spiritual attitudes, beliefs, and religious coping strategies to reduce their anxiety in CCU patients.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Nursing care in critical units requires knowledge and much attention from the professionals who perform it, especially in the decision-making process, as they are decisive for maintaining the life of others. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the nurses' perspective about their practices from the problematization with educational strategy. METHODS: This is a descriptive, convergent care study with four nurses from the coronary unit of a hospital in southern Mato Grosso. Data were collected during the development of the convergence group, and the statements were recorded and transcribed in full and subsequently analyzed following the precepts of Minayo's thematic analysis. RESULTS: The data that emerged from the interviews were translated into three cores of meaning: "Establishing the points", "From theory to practice" and "The change in reality", following the methodological proposal of Charles Maguerez. CONCLUSION: It was found that there are limits in nurses' understanding of their practices in the unit. However, the chosen educational strategy provided these professionals with the possibility of new actions in the work context.

RESUMEN

Abstract One-third of the population in intensive care units is in a state of circulatory shock, whose rapid recognition and mechanism differentiation are of great importance. The clinical context and physical examination are of great value, but in complex situations as in cardiac care units, it is mandatory the use of advanced hemodynamic monitorization devices, both to determine the main mechanism of shock, as to decide management and guide response to treatment, these devices include pulmonary flotation catheter as the gold standard, as well as more recent techniques including echocardiography and pulmonary ultrasound, among others. This article emphasizes the different shock mechanisms observed in the cardiac care units, with a proposal for approach and treatment.

Resumen Un tercio de la población de pacientes en unidades de cuidados intensivos se encuentran en choque circulatorio, el identificarlo y determinar su mecanismo de manera rápida y eficaz es de gran importancia. El contexto clínico y el examen físico son de gran utilidad, sin embargo existen situaciones de alta complejidad en las que se requiere del uso de las distintas modalidades de monitorización hemodinámica avanzada, tanto para determinar la causa, como para decidir el manejo y guiar respuesta al tratamiento, incluyendo el catéter de flotación pulmonar como gold standard, así como técnicas más recientes incluyendo ecocardiografía y ultrasonido pulmonar, entre otros. Este artículo enfatiza los distintos mecanismos de choque observados en las unidades de cuidados cardiacos, con propuesta de abordaje y tratamiento.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: There are both biological and sociocultural differences in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Inequalities in the prognosis between women and men are due to several variables, including specific risk factors for females, discrepancies in treatment strategies, and pathophysiological differences. OBJECTIVE: To identify gender differences in patients with acute coronary syndrome. METHODS: An observational, analytical, cross-sectional study was carried out on the gender differences in 170 patients with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome who were discharged from the Intensive Coronary Care Unit of the Comandante Manuel Fajardo Clinical-Surgical Hospital in 2016 and 2017. RESULTS: Females had a statistically very significant association, with a higher mean age (68 vs. 62, P<.01) and with a history of arterial hypertension (91.2 vs. 72.3% P<.01). The smoking habit showed a statistically significant association with male individuals (50.5 vs. 30.4% P=.017). Males had a significantly higher median creatinine (90µmol/L vs. 80µmol/L, P<.01). Women showed an increased risk of haemodynamic complications (OR=3.11, 95% CI=1.20-8.04). CONCLUSIONS: In women with acute coronary syndrome, being female is associated with older age, a history of arterial hypertension, and the appearance of haemodynamic complications during admission. Males are associated with smoking habits and higher concentrations of serum creatinine.
