RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The International Skin Tear Advisory Panel (ISTAP) created the ISTAP Skin Tear Classification System with the aim of promoting a common and universal language to describe, classify and document skin tears, and increase awareness of the high prevalence of these wounds. Although there is a Spanish version of the ISTAP Skin Tear Classification System, the authors considered it relevant to have a specific Chilean Spanish version. The aim was to achieve the cultural adaptation of the ISTAP Skin Tear Classification System to Chilean Spanish, and verify its content validity and inter-rater reliability. METHOD: The study consisted of two phases: cultural adaptation of the ISTAP Skin Tear Classification System into Chilean Spanish, and validation of the culturally adapted system. A convenience sample of 150 health professionals classified 30 photographs of skin tears, using the same photographs used in the original ISTAP skin tear classification and validation study. Additionally, the clinical application of the classification system was tested among 20 nurses, who assessed and classified the skin tears (n=24) of hospitalised patients. For analysis of the inter-rater reliability, Fleiss' kappa was used. RESULTS: The differences found in the translation referred to a synonym of the terms 'skin' or 'cutaneous', and the terms 'flap' or 'tear'. Once analysed and discussed, the term 'desgarro' was maintained, which is the translation of the English term 'flap'. There is no equivalent term for 'skin tears' in Spanish, but consensus was reached by researchers and collaborators to use the phrase: 'desgarro de piel'. Once a consensus was reached on the wording for the translation, back-translation was completed and compared with the original English version and reviewed by the original author of the classification for accuracy. The content validity of the translated version of the ISTAP Skin Tear Classification System into Chilean Spanish showed a moderate agreement for the non-specialised nurses' group (0.4804) and for the specialised nurses' group (0.5308). Inter-rater reliability was achieved by obtaining a moderate agreement (Fleiss' kappa=0.53) and an almost perfect level of agreement for clinical application (Fleiss' kappa=0.83). CONCLUSION: The reported content validity and inter-rater reliability support the applicability of the cultural adaptation of the ISTAP Skin Tear Classification System to Chilean Spanish into practice.

There are few reported cases of small bowel injury due to blunt abdominal trauma. We describe the clinical presentation and surgical management of these lesions. This is the clinical case of a polytraumatized male with a duodenal injury IIID3 according to AAST, who underwent resection of the intestinal segment with duodeno-duodenum anastomosis with favorable results. The infrequent presentation of injuries to the small intestine due to blunt trauma may lead the clinician to overlook the need for intentional interrogation about the kinematics of the trauma, while at the same time neglecting the taking of complementary diagnostic imaging studies, this because of a lack of clinical suspicion. It is important to analyze the patient's context, which will allow us to assess the need to delve into diagnostic studies in order to optimize their treatment.
Existen pocos casos notificados de lesión de intestino delgado por traumatismo contuso abdominal. Se describen la presentación clínica y el tratamiento quirúrgico de dichas lesiones, un caso clínico de un paciente masculino politraumatizado con lesión duodenal IIID3 según la AAST, objeto de resección de segmento intestinal con anastomosis duodenoduodenal terminoterminal con resultados favorables. La presentación infrecuente de lesiones de intestino delgado por traumatismo contuso puede llevar al clínico a soslayar la necesidad de un interrogatorio intencionado acerca de la cinemática del traumatismo y también de los estudios de imagen complementarios diagnósticos debido a la falta de sospecha clínica. Es importante analizar el contexto del paciente para valorar la necesidad de profundizar en estudios diagnósticos y optimizar el tratamiento.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to determine factors associated with spontaneous perineal laceration in low-risk pregnant women who delivered vaginally without episiotomy in a university maternity hospital in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted with 222 low-risk, full-term pregnant women admitted in labor with a single fetus in cephalic presentation. Women with malformed fetuses were excluded from the study. The variables analyzed were: the frequency and severity of lacerations, the women's biological, sociodemographic, clinical and obstetrical characteristics, neonatal characteristics, and data on their deliveries and procedures. For the data analysis, risk ratios and their 95% confidence intervals were calculated. A significance level of 5% was adopted and multiple regression analysis was performed. Results: Spontaneous first-degree perineal tears were registered in 47% of the women, second-degree tears in 31%, and third degree tears in only 1.8%. There were no cases of fourth-degree tears. Having experienced normal childbirth previously constituted a protective factor against vaginal tearing (OR = 0.46; 95%CI: 0.23-0.91; p = .027). Conclusion: The principal protective factor against spontaneous lacerations was having experienced normal childbirth previously. Intrapartum strategies aimed at protecting the perineum and pelvic floor muscle training during prenatal care should be encouraged in these women.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Despite all the medical care provided during delivery labor, perineal injury is still prevalent and may lead to diverse pelvic floor disorders. The aim here was to investigate the prevalence of obstetric and anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) in healthy pregnant women after vaginal delivery. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study involving 3,034 patients with singletons in a secondary hospital for low-risk cases. METHODS: A standardized questionnaire was prepared and applied to medical files that had been completely filled out (classification of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, RCOG) in order to identify OASIS and analyze risk factors associated with mild and severe perineal lacerations. RESULTS: The women's mean age was 25 years; more than half (54.4%) were primiparae. Almost 38% of the participants had perineal lacerations; these were severe in 0.9% of the cases. Previous vaginal delivery (odds ratio, OR: 1.64 [1.33-2.04]) and forceps delivery (OR: 2.04 [1.39-2.97]) were risk factors associated with mild perineal injuries (1st and 2nd OASIS classifications). Only remaining standing for prolonged periods during professional activity (OR: 2.85 [1.34-6.09]) was associated with severe perineal injuries. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of severe perineal injuries was concordant with data in the literature. The variable of standing position was considered to be a risk factor for severe perineal injury and should be further investigated.

CONTEXTO E OBJETIVOS: Apesar do cuidado médico executado durante o trabalho de parto, os traumas perineais ainda são prevalentes e podem levar a várias desordens do assoalho pélvico. O objetivo foi investigar a prevalência de injúrias obstétricas e do esfíncter anal em mulheres saudáveis após parto vaginal. DESENHO E LOCAL DE ESTUDO: Estudo transversal envolvendo 3.034 pacientes com recém-natos únicos de um hospital secundário de baixo risco. MÉTODOS: Um questionário padronizado foi preparado e aplicado aos prontuários completamente preenchidos (classificação do Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) para identificar as lesões obstétricas e do esfíncter anal e analisar fatores de risco associados com lacerações perineais leves e graves. RESULTADOS: A média de idade das mulheres era 25 anos; mais da metade (54,4%) era primípara. Quase 38% das participantes tiveram lacerações perineais; estas foram graves em 0,9% dos casos. A presença de parto vaginal prévio (odds ratio, OR, 1,64 [1,33-2,04]) e o parto fórceps (OR 2,04 [1,39-2,97]) foram fatores de risco associados às lesões perineais leves (primeira e segunda classificações de lesão esfíncter e anal). Somente a posição em pé prolongada durante a atividade profissional (OR 2,85 [1,34-6,09]) estava associada com lesões perineais graves. CONCLUSÃO: A prevalência de trauma perineal grave concordou com dados da literatura. A variável posição em pé foi considerada fator de risco para trauma perineal grave e necessita ser investigada. .

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether selective midline episiotomy contributes to the prevention of third- or fourth-degree perineal lacerations. STUDY DESIGN: A randomized controlled clinical trial was performed with 446 nulliparous women with deliveries after 28 weeks of pregnancy. Patients were randomized to undergo either routine episiotomy or selective episiotomy. In the selective episiotomy group, episiotomies were performed only in cases of imminent lacerations, fetal distress, or forceps delivery. RESULTS: In the group of 223 patients who underwent routine episiotomy, 32 (14.3%) had third- or fourth-degree perineal lacerations, as compared to 15 (6.8%) in the group of 222 patients undergoing selective episiotomy (relative risk, 2.12; 95% confidence interval, 1.18-3.81). Only reduction in third-degree lacerations was significant when analyzed separately. Moreover, periurethral, labia minora, and superficial vaginal lacerations were significantly more frequent in the selective episiotomy group. CONCLUSION: The policy of performing selective midline episiotomy in nulliparous patients results in a reduction in the risk of third-degree perineal lacerations.
