Are we operating asymptomatic patients but infected with Covid19? retrospective analysis of patients operated at the Maciel Hospital
¿ Estamos operando pacientes asintomáticos pero infectados por Covid19?:: análisis retrospectivo de pacientes operados en el Hospital Maciel
Resumen:
Introduction: Since March 2020, COVID-19 infection was declared a pandemic with consequent impact on the health system. A particular case is the surgery service with the risk linked to transmission by microdrops or pneumoperitoneum. To reduce the risk of contagion, non-oncological coordination surgeries have been suspended. The objective of this study was to assess the proportion of asymptomatic patients at the time of surgery and who developed the disease after surgery. Materials and methods: This is an observational, descriptive and retrospective study. A search was made in the operative descriptions system of the Maciel Hospital, identifying the surgical procedures of all the specialties performed from March 16 to April 16, 2020. Demographic variables, variables related to surgery, complications and respiratory symptoms were recorded. Results: 128 patients were included, on which 165 procedures were performed. 42.2% of the coordination procedures, 52.1% of urgency and 5.5% of emergency were performed. It is highlighted that 73.4% of the patients did not present complications and a mortality of only 7.8% was found. 9 (7.0%) swabs were performed in the period, none of them was positive. Conclusions: COVID-19 infection is linked to an increase in postoperative mortality compared to pre-epidemic mortality, which requires strict triage to minimize risk. We highlight in our center the absence of surgery in asymptomatic patients with the infection.
Introducción: Desde marzo del 2020 la infección por COVID-19 fue declarada pandemia con consecuente impacto sobre el sistema de salud. Un caso particular es el servicio de cirugía con el riesgo vinculado a la trasmisión por microgotas o neumoperitoneo. Para disminuir el riesgo de contagio se han suspendido las cirugías de coordinación no oncológicas. El objetivo de este estudio fue valorar la proporción de pacientes asintomáticos al momento de la cirugía y que luego de la misma desarrollaron la enfermedad. Materiales y métodos: Se trata de un estudio observacional, descriptivo y retrospectivo. Se realizó una búsqueda en el sistema de descripciones operatorias del Hospital Maciel individuándose los procedimientos quirúrgicos de todas las especialidades realizados del 16 de marzo al 16 de abril del 2020. Se consignaron variables demográficas, variables vinculadas a la cirugía, complicaciones y sintomatología respiratoria. Resultados: Se incluyeron 128 pacientes sobre los cuales se realizaron 165 procedimientos. Se realizaron 42,2% de los procedimientos de coordinación, 52,1% de urgencia y 5,5% de emergencia. Se destaca que 73,4% de los pacientes no presentaron complicaciones y se halló una mortalidad de solo 7,8%. Se realizaron 9 (7,0%) hisopados en el período, ninguno de ellos fue positivo. Conclusiones: La infección por COVID-19 se vincula a un aumento de la mortalidad en el posoperatorio respecto a la mortalidad prepandemia lo que obliga a un estricto triage para minimizar el riesgo. Destacamos en nuestro centro la ausencia de cirugía en pacientes portadores asintomáticos de la infección.
