(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-08-12) Herrera Abad, Iván Kennedy; Calsin Pacompia, Wilmer
Objective: To systematize and analyze the evidence on the effectiveness of interventions in preventing infection at the central venous catheter insertion site in hemodialysis patients. Materials and Methods: A systematic review methodology was used, analyzing 10 scientific articles. The instruments included: Scielo, ISCIII, Scribd, Seden, Preevid, Murcia Salud, Jama, Horizonte, Sochinf, and Cochrane Plus. Results: 90% of the reviewed articles demonstrate that interventions to prevent infection at the central venous catheter insertion site in hemodialysis patients are effective. Additionally, 10% of the analyzed articles show that the use of chlorhexidine gluconate as an antiseptic is less effective as it does not reduce infectious episodes. Conclusions: 9 out of 10 articles evidence the effectiveness of interventions to prevent infection at the central venous catheter insertion site in hemodialysis patients. These interventions include the insertion and maintenance process of the central venous access. The nurse must observe and assess the condition of the insertion site and follow biosecurity and aseptic practices during the initiation, dressing, and completion of the procedure, emphasizing the importance of using chlorhexidine gluconate and mupirocin.

Effective interventions in the management of patients with acute poisoning in an emergency department
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-12-07) Orihuela Alonso, Jessica Yesenia; Calsin Pacompia, Wilmer
Objective: Systematize evidence on effective interventions in the management of patients with acute poisoning in a hospital emergency service. Material and Methods: it was quantitative because it sought to quantify in percentage terms the applicability of effective interventions according to the systematic review of the various primary studies consulted, which emerge from recent research and are related to this research. Results: indicated that 100% of the interventions carried out in the different hospital centers, on acute poisoning, were effective, considering that the existing techniques and protocols for this purpose were applied in all of them, in addition to the fact that they are similar to those applied in Peru, such as gastric lavage and the application of activated charcoal. Conclusion: In short, the most effective interventions in the management of patients with acute poisoning were those in which the gastric lavage procedure and the use of activated charcoal were applied, in which I agree, considering that it is a feasible, viable option. and very effective, taking into account the experiences of the emergency centers from which the 10 articles analyzed were derived. Work experience tells me that, in Peru, it is also the procedure par excellence.

Objective: To analyze the evidence on effective interventions in the prevention of infection in patients with urinary catheterization Materials and methods: the type of study was quantitative and the study design was a systematic review, the population consisted of 30 studies and the sample was 10 articles, this review was found in the following databases Medline, PubMed, Elsevier, Scielo. and BVS. where the GRADE system was used, which identifies the quality of the evidence and the recommended strength. Results: it was obtained that: the use of reminders is effective, as are standardized protocols, the bundles that are nursing interventions already established, supervision by the nurse, hand washing to reduce bacteria and the use of the antimicrobial catheter. On the other hand, the quality gaps in the documentation of the use of different urinary catheters with the results of the urine are not effective. Conclusions: 90% (n = 9/10) of the 10 articles reviewed showed that the effective interventions for the prevention of infection in patients with urinary catheterization were: the use of reminders, standardized protocols, the bundles, continuous nursing supervision, hand washing and also the use of antimicrobial catheters with silver alloy. However, 10% (n=1/10) of the reviewed articles also showed that the quality gaps in the documentation of the use of different urinary catheters are not effective with the results of the urine, since there is no concordance in both.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-07-08) Benito Castro, Elizabeth Maria; Norabuena Granda, Marina Alejandra; Calsin Pacompia, Wilmer
Objective: To analyze and systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of albumin treatment versus other fluids in patients with sepsis. Materials and Methods: The design is a systematic review, using the GRADE system. The search was conducted in the following databases: Cochrane, Web of Science, OvidSP, PubMed, clinicaltrials.gov, controlled-trials.com, Medline, Elsevier, Web of Science, Embase. The population consisted of 10 articles, including systematic reviews and study samples. Four studies are clinical trials, three are systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and three are meta-analyses only. Results: Of all the studies, 60% demonstrate the effectiveness of albumin as an intravascular volume expander, decreasing the risk of renal failure, pulmonary edema levels, and significantly reducing extravascular pulmonary water. 30% demonstrate the effectiveness of other fluids as the first line in fluid resuscitation due to their market accessibility. 10% demonstrate the effectiveness of both albumin and other fluids in increasing left ventricular stroke work and systolic volume. Conclusions: Of the 10 articles, 6 demonstrate the effectiveness of albumin in patients with sepsis by reducing mortality rates, 3 demonstrate that other fluids are more effective than albumin because it showed no change in mortality, and 1 demonstrates that both albumin and other fluids are effective in increasing cardiac index.
