Antipyretic efficacy of combined versus individual use of acetaminophen and ibuprofen in febrile pediatric patients.
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-03-25) Carlos Musayon, Jessica Viviana; Casanova Taya, Betty; Matta Solis, Hernan Hugo
Objective: To systematically analyze the evidence of the combined use of paracetamol and ibuprofen versus their individual use. Material and Method: The systematic review of 10 articles on the antipyretic efficacy of the combined use versus individual use of paracetamol and ibuprofen in febrile pediatric patients in the emergency department was found in the following databases: Cochrane, SciELO, Medline, PubMed, and Elsevier. Of the 10 articles reviewed, 60% (6/10) correspond to the methodological design of randomized clinical trials, 30% (3/10) are systematic reviews, and 10% (1/10) is a simple review. All of them were analyzed according to the GRADE scale to determine their strength and quality of evidence. Results: 80% of the reviewed articles are conclusive, supported by 1 systematic review and 1 simple review, suggesting that combined therapy is better than monotherapy, and 6 randomized clinical trials showing that the combined use of paracetamol and ibuprofen works more effectively and even faster than paracetamol or ibuprofen alone. However, the other 20% recommend that further studies in larger populations are necessary to confirm its efficacy. Conclusions: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 80% (8/10) demonstrate the efficacy of the combined use of paracetamol and ibuprofen in febrile pediatric patients.

Effectiveness of ibuprofen combined with acetaminophen for controlling fever in children under 5 years old
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-07-22) Córdova García, Katerine Milagros; Linares Vásquez, Rosalyn; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of Ibuprofen combined with paracetamol for controlling fever in children under 5 years old. Materials and Methods: This is a systematic review that included 7 articles, no older than 10 years, with full-text publications in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, from the databases: PubMed, Scielo, Journal Medical, Cochrane Plus, and BVS. These articles focused on the effectiveness of Ibuprofen combined with paracetamol for fever control in children under 5 years old. 42.8% (3) of the articles are from South American countries, including Peru, while 14.2% (1) each are from Spain, Canada, Mexico, and Nigeria. Results: Of the total articles analyzed, 71.4% recommend Ibuprofen as the treatment of choice for significantly reducing fever. Additionally, when used in combination with Paracetamol or Acetaminophen, it not only increases effectiveness in lowering the temperature but also extends the duration the child remains afebrile. Conclusions: The evidence shows that the combined therapy of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol is more effective for treating fever in children than monotherapy. However, it is important to note that the use of Ibuprofen should be limited to the initial treatment due to its adverse effects. Furthermore, it is evident that Paracetamol, when combined with physical methods, significantly reduces body temperature within the first hour, more effectively than physical methods alone.

Efficacy of continuous bladder irrigation in the management of Hematuria
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Rojas Reyes, Luz; Sanchez Espejo, Eloisa Ada; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objective: Determine the effectiveness and uses of continuous bladder irrigation in the management of urological events. Materials and methods: Systematic Reviews are an observational and retrospective research design, which synthesizes the results of multiple primary investigations. They are an essential part of evidence-based nursing due to their rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific questions of clinical practice. Results: The reviewed articles were found in the databases Scielo, Dialnet, Ebsco, Lilacs, the results show that there is a lower incidence of immediate postoperative complications inherent to the operation of the urethrovesical catheter, in patients left without irrigation, likewise the average day in the hospital stay of these patients was shorter, concluding that continuous bladder irrigation as a post-prostatectomy treatment is not essential. The other authors also agree that the use of continuous bladder irrigation as a treatment using a continuous antibiotic regimen is recommended. Conclusions: The reviewed articles show that continuous bladder irrigation as a post-prostatectomy treatment and intervention is not essential in patients. The use of continuous bladder irrigation as a treatment using a continuous antibiotic regimen is recommended, it reduces hospital stay, reduces fever and quickly improves the patient's general conditions as well as making cultures negative in a shorter period of time. The management of hematuria of bladder origin through continuous bladder irrigation as a treatment with the application of intravesical bismuth solution is effective in shortening the time of hematuria control.

Knowledge level of students in the Second Specialty in Oncology at Norbert Wiener University regarding the management of febrile neutropenia in oncology patients
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-10-24) Fuentes Nogales, Arianny Nazareth; Cárdenas de Fernández, María Hilda
Over time, febrile neutropenia has been observed as one of the most common complications of cancer patients who have received chemotherapy. Due to these complications, many patients find it necessary to postpone their chemotherapy cycles, since their system immune system becomes very susceptible, therefore it begins with a long battle to improve its defenses, it is important that during this period that the patient is going through all the necessary measures are taken to achieve an optimal recovery, this is why the staff nursing must have all the knowledge necessary to provide quality care and help the cancer patient in his prompt recovery so that he can continue with his cancer treatment, the objective of this work is to establish the level of knowledge of the students of the second specialty in oncology of Norbert Wiener University on the management of febrile neutropenia in oncology patients. It will have a quantitative approach, in terms of the methodological design it will be a descriptive research. The population will be made up of 50 nurses who correspond to the second specialty in oncology at the Norbert Wiener University, a survey consisting of closed questions will be used, subsequently the information that is collected will be downloaded into Microsoft Excel and finally will be represented in tables and graphs.
