Effectiveness of polyethylene cover versus other care for the prevention of eye injury in intensive care unit patients
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-02-16) Silva Villajulca, Frida Liz; Muñoz Zuñiga, Alexander Rodrigo; Fernández Rengifo, Werther Fernando
Objective: to systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of polyethylene cover versus other care for the prevention of eye injuries in patients in the intensive care unit. Materials and Method: Systematic Review, articles with complete content submitted to a reading critique, the recommendation will be made using the GRADE system. Results: Of 10 scientific articles, (20%) Mexico, continuing with Saudi Arabia (20%), then China (10%), United Kingdom (10%), Brazil (10%), Canada (10%), Peru ( 10%), Turkey (10%), The quality of the evidence, 90% (n=09/10) are of high evidence. 60% (n=06/10) of the articles are systematic reviews, followed by 20% (n=02/10) randomized controlled trials, 10% (n=01/10) Meta-analysis and 10% (n=01/10) remaining are from a cohort study. Of a total of 10 articles reviewed, 90% (n=09/10) of these show that the polyethylene cover is more effective compared to other care for the prevention of eye injuries in patients in the intensive care unit. Conclusions : In 9 of the 10 articles it is evident that the polyethylene cover is more effective for the prevention of eye injuries in patients in the intensive care unit.

Effectiveness of the use of polyethylene bags for the prevention of hypothermia in premature and low birth weight newborns
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-09) Hernández Julca, Bertha Gladys; Pérez Franco, Sandra Jesús; Remuzgo Artezano, Anika
Objective: Determine the effectiveness of the use of polyethylene bags for the prevention of hypothermia in premature and low birth weight newborns. Materials and Methods: Observational and retrospective systematic review, the search has been restricted to articles with full text, and the selected articles were subjected to a critical reading, together with the intensive bibliographic search algorithm and the PICO strategy. Results: 10 articles were obtained as a population, of which 100% (10/10) demonstrated that the use of the polyethylene bag to prevent hypothermia in premature and low birth weight newborns is effective; We also point out that of these, 20% correspond to the United States as well as those from Mexico, while 10% are from Uruguay, Canada, Thailand, Zambia, Brazil and England respectively. Therefore, it is concluded to consider the use of polyethylene bags as an additional effective and safe intervention to prevent hypothermia in premature and low birth weight newborns. Conclusions: 100% (10/10) of scientific articles have shown that the use of polyethylene bags is effective in interrupting heat loss through convection, conduction and evaporation mechanisms. Likewise, by preventing hypothermia we not only find stable oxygen saturation but also other vital functions and consequently the most serious complication such as neurological damage is avoided.

Use of effective devices and measures for the prevention of perioperative hypothermia
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-07-22) Mori Gonzáles, Erick Yanis; Arévalo Bardález, Anggie Fiorella; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
It is a Systematic review that included 10 articles no older than 10 years published in English, Portuguese and Spanish in the database: Elsevier, Lipecs, Lilacs, Scielo, Cochrane Plus, Pubmed, Medline that had as their main topic the use of effective devices and measures for the prevention of perioperative hypothermia. 20% (02) systematic reviews were found, 80% (08) correspond to experimental studies. Results: 60% (n = 6/10) of the articles show that the use of the forced air warming system is the most effective device for the prevention of perioperative hypothermia. 40% of the articles mention, among others, different devices and measures (heated water circulation system, polyethylene plastic bags, acrylic wool blanket cover, fluid heater, artificial nose, thermal sheet, heating pad, hot dog, among others). ), are less effective in preventing perioperative hypothermia. Conclusions: Evidence shows that active warming (forced air system) is more effective compared to other different devices and measures for the prevention of perioperative hypothermia.
