When vascular access is not established, an intraosseous route should be obtained; otherwise, the mortality of these critically ill patients is almost 100%. In Colombia, the intraosseous access is not used because of the high costs of the devices and the lack of training of the healthcare staff to conduct the procedure. Objective: To determine the efficacy of a low-cost device to establish intraosseous access. Materials and methods: Quantitative approach, experimental design in a simulated environment with chicken tarsus and metatarsus. An analysis was conducted using frequency tables and central tendency measurements. Likewise, further analyses were done using Fisher's exact test, Chi2, and Mann–Whitney test. Results: A total of 99% of the procedures were successful with both catheters. The average time for intraosseous access was 6.6 seconds with Insyte 14 catheter and 4.7 seconds with Din 1515x Illinois Desch device (P = 0.001). There were no significant differences in the number of attempts to secure a successful intraosseous access using any of the 2 devices (P = 0.56). Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the Ci 14 and the Si 14 catheter to establish a successful intraosseous access in the chicken tarsus and metatarsus in a simulated environment. Resumen Introducción: En los servicios de urgencias una acción de primordial importancia en pacientes críticamente enfermos es obtener un acceso vascular temprano. En los casos en que no se logre obtener un acceso venoso, se debe obtener una vía intraósea, o de lo contrario la mortalidad de estos pacientes críticamente enfermos asciende casi al 100%. En Colombia no se realiza el uso del acceso intraóseo por los altos costos de los dispositivos requeridos y la falta de entrenamiento del personal de salud para dicho procedimiento. Objetivo: Determinar la eficacia de un dispositivo de bajo costo para el acceso intraóseo. Materiales y métodos: Enfoque cuantitativo, diseño experimental en ambiente simulado con tarso-metatarso de pollo. Se realizó un análisis mediante tablas de frecuencia y medidas de tendencia central. Así mismo, se realizaron análisis mediante el test exacto de Fisher, ji cuadrado y test de Mann Whitney. Resultados: El 99% de los procedimientos fueron exitosos con los dos catéteres. La mediana del tiempo para el acceso intraóseo fue de 6.6 segundos con el catéter Insyte 14® de 4.7 segundos con el dispositivo Din 1515x Illinois Desch® (p = 0.001). No se encontraron diferencias significativas en el número de intentos para lograr un acceso intraóseo exitoso con ambos dispositivos (p = 0.56).

However, when the physician neglects the obligation to inform, legal consequences may follow, including the award of damages or even imprisonment. Objective: To analyze the legal implications for a medical practitioner who fails to obtain the patient's IC. Methodology: Based on the relevant jurisprudence and legal decisions. With regards to the former, the decisions and legal precedents of the Colombian High Courts with regards to IC and medical practice were studied, emphasizing the rulings of the State Council and the Supreme Court of Justice (civil and penal chambers). With regards to the legal decisions, the analysis enabled the review, systematization and interpretation of the discussions generated around the topic of interest, pursuant to the doctrine or research on civil administrative, and criminal law. Results: There is consensus in the Colombian jurisprudence about the liability of the healthcare professional and of the state when the IC or any of its component parts is missing in the doctor–patient relationship. Nevertheless, there are different standpoints, particularly in the criminal arena, where a lack of unanimity exists with regards to this issue. Conclusion: Any violation of the IC or the lack of an IC, could give rise to the practitioner's civil liability and disciplinary actions, in addition to the administrative liability of the State, but there should be no criminal liability for the physician. Resumen Introducción: El consentimiento informado garantiza el ejercicio de los derechos a la información, libertad y autonomía del paciente; pero cuando el médico desatiende la obligación de informar es posible que se generen consecuencias jurídicas de carácter patrimonial o incluso de privación de la libertad. Objetivo: Analizar las consecuencias jurídicas que conlleva para el médico omitir el consentimiento informado. Metodología: Se acudió a la línea jurisprudencial y a la dogmática del derecho. En cuanto a la primera, se estudiaron las decisiones y los precedentes judiciales de las altas cortes en Colombia en materia del consentimiento informado en la actividad médica, con énfasis en los fallos emitidos por el Consejo de Estado y la Corte Suprema de Justicia, Sala Civil y Sala Penal. Respecto a la segunda, su análisis permitió revisar, sistematizar e interpretar las discusiones que frente al tema objeto de estudio se han generado en la doctrina o en las investigaciones de derecho civil, administrativo y penal. Resultados: Existe consenso en la jurisprudencia colombiana con relación al tipo de responsabilidad que debe endilgarse al profesional de la salud o al Estado, cuando en la relación médico-paciente hay ausencia del consentimiento informado o de alguno de sus elementos.

The authors designed an automatic delivery system using clinical variables such as bispectral index (BIS), heart rate, and blood pressure. Objective: To evaluate the clinical and technical performance of this controller by comparing it to a TCI system. Methods: This was a single-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial in which 150 patients were recruited: 75 for the TCI group and 75 for the closed loop with BIS. Clinical performance was determined according to the mean percentage of time spent in the BIS range of 40 to 60 during anesthetic maintenance. In addition, adequate intraoperative analgesia, technical performance, intraoperative awakening, and intraoperative recall were evaluated. Results: The primary outcome showed a mean BIS time between 40 and 60 for the closed loop of 75.24% (± 15.78) versus 59.5% (± 20.3) for the TCI system, with an absolute difference of 15.8%, 95% confidence interval (CI): 9.9 to 21.65, P < 0.0001. The mean time in intraoperative analgesia was 82.4% (25.1) in closed loop and 70.77% (± 32.8) in TCI, with a difference of 4.76 (95% CI: 2.23–21.06), P = 0.016.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics of surgical TBI and perioperative outcomes. Methods: Descriptive study of historical review conducted at the Hospital San Vicente Fundación, Medellín, Colombia. Data were collected from the medical records of patients over 13 years of age diagnosed with moderate–severe TBI between 2011 and 2014. Clinical variables, perioperative management, and clinical outcomes up to discharge were analyzed. An exploratory analysis was performed between perioperative management and postoperative mortality or neurological dysfunction. Results: CET was most common in the young male population (89.3%). Severe trauma occurred in 71.1% of patients. Perioperative mortality was 16%, and 54% presented neurological disability at discharge. A strong association was found between mortality or neurological dysfunction and severity of injury and perioperative hypotension. Conclusion: The study found that surgical CET was a high morbidity and perioperative mortality event, highly related to the severity of the injury and the hemodynamic stability of the patient.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of exclusive SA with bupivacaine versus sciatic–femoral nerve block, regardless of the drug, during the postoperative period of patients having undergone knee arthroscopy, through a systematic review of the scientific literature. Methods: A search of Randomized Clinical Trials was conducted in a number of databases including Ovid, Cochrane, Embase, Lilacs, Open Grey, ClinicalTrials.gov, and academic Google. The snowball technique was also used to identify additional trials. The design of the search strategy included Boolean operators and considered studies in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, with no date restrictions. The information is presented in narrative form. Results: The search identified 478 studies, of which 3 met the eligibility criteria. The effectiveness was evaluated based on total anesthesia time and rescue analgesia. Safety was evaluated with heart rate monitoring and time to first micturition. Patient satisfaction was identified through surveys to measure the acceptance of the anesthetic technique. Conclusion: SA is effective as assessed based on the motor-sensory blockade effect and pain control, but its adverse events shall be taken into consideration when making a decision. The anesthetic techniques of the peripheral sciatic–femoral nerve block present less undesirable side effects than spinal analgesia and provide better postoperative pain control.
