Objectives Systematize evidence on the effectiveness of subglottic aspirations for reducing pneumonia in patients with mechanical ventilation. Materials and Methods: Observational and retrospective systematic review, the search was based exclusively on articles with full text, and the chosen studies were subjected to a critical reading, based on the GRADE evaluation to identify their level of evidence. In the selection, 10 articles were chosen, of which 20% (2/10) correspond to the United States, 20% (2/10) Australia, 10% (1/10) to India, 20% (2/10) ) Canada, 10% (1/10) China, 10% (1/10) France and 10% (1/10) Belgium. Of these there are 2 systematic reviews, 4 meta-analyses, 3 clinical trials and 1 control study, all of high quality. Results: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 100% (10/10) demonstrated that aspiration of subglottic secretions reduces the incidence of pneumonia and edema problems compared to tracheal aspirations. Conclusions: It was shown that aspiration of subglottic secretions is effective in reducing the risk of pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation.

Complications of cervical collar use in trauma patients requiring immobilization
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-11-12) Montero Crisologo, Diana Carolina; Vega López, Karen Rocio; Gamarra Bustillos, Carlos
Methodology: Systematic, observational and retrospective review, the search has been restricted to articles with full text, and the selected articles were subjected to a critical reading to identify their level of evidence. In the final selection, 10 articles were chosen, we found that 30% (03) correspond to the United States, with 20% (02) in Holland, while with 10% (01) we find England, Iran, Norway, Australia and Iceland respectively. Among the systemic reviews we find the countries of the United States, Norway, England and Iran, which account for 40% of the studies carried out, also with 20% we have prospective studies belonging to Australia and Holland, 20% of retrospective studies carried out in the US and the Netherlands, 10% corresponds to a US randomized controlled trial. Results: Of the 10 articles found, 6 of them mention that one of the first most frequent complications are pressure ulcers, followed by 2 articles that tell us that there is an increase in intracranial pressure caused by excessive adjustment of the cervical collar and 2 articles where the authors agree with the presence of pressure ulcers and increased intracranial pressure. In this way we were able to confirm that there are complications from the use of the cervical collar in traumatized patients who require immobilization. The authors confirm that pressure ulcers are due to the patient's skin type and the length of time the collar is worn. Conclusions: Of the total number of articles analyzed, 100% confirm that the use of the cervical collar produces compilations such as pressure ulcers at primary and secondary level, jugular venous pressure and tissue interface pressure in traumatized patients requiring immobilization.

Objective: Determine whether manual cleaning or automated cleaning reduces greater microbial bioload of surgical medical material. Material and methods: Systematic Review, the search has been restricted to articles with full text, and the selected articles were subjected to a critical reading, using Jover's evaluation to identify their degree of evidence. Results: In the final selection, 10 articles were chosen, we found that 50% (05) correspond to Brazil, with 20% (02) we find the United States, while with 10% (01) we find Cuba, Mexico and Peru respectively. Mostly experimental and quasi-experimental studies have been studied, mainly in all countries. Where of the total number of articles analyzed, 100% affirm that manual cleaning in addition to automated cleaning reduces a greater microbial load of medical-surgical material. Conclusions: The 10 articles reviewed show us that the correct cleaning method is achieved with the application of an adequate procedure and automated methods are the most effective, in addition to the fact that an incorrect cleaning method interferes with the disinfection or sterilization process.

Material and methods: Systematic observational and retrospective review, quantitative, the 10 articles found on the effect of noise intensity in the newborn hospitalized in the neonatal ICU, were found in the databases PubMed, Sciencedirect, Scielo, Wiley Online Library, Elsevier, Epistemonikos. Results: Of the total articles found, 60% were systematic reviews, 10% quasi-experimental, 20% descriptive and 10% experimental and all referred to the effect of noise intensity on newborns hospitalized in the neonatal ICU. 20% corresponds to Colombia and 10% to France, the United States, Spain, Mexico, Canada, Italy, Brazil and Iran with 10% respectively. Of the total evidence, 80% were of high quality and 20% of low quality. The intensity of noise in neonatal intensive care units affects the development of the hospitalized newborn. The evidence also mentions that noise affects the newborn, both physically and neurologically, leaving them hospitalized for several days. Studies indicate that not only the newborn is affected, but also the health personnel since they are the ones who spend most of the day in these units. Conclusion: The 10 articles show that the intensity of noise in the neonatal intensive care unit affects the development of the newborn physically and neurologically, leaving them hospitalized for several days.
