RESUMEN
Es un estudio clínico original prospectivo, retrolectivo y comparativo. Se presentan en forma cuantitativa los fármacos empleados para sedación y analgesia intravenosa continua, combinada o secuencial de todos los pacientes atendidos en un periodo de cinco años en la UTI de Médica Sur. Se incluyeron 1,507 pacientes admitidos en la UTI de Médica Sur. Aproximadamente la mitad corresponde a cada género, la mitad a casos quirúrgicos (CQ) y médicos (CM) y la edad promedio de 53 años (10 a 97). Del total de los pacientes, recibieron uno o más de los medicamentos de estudio 1,165 (77%); 62% correspondió a CQ y 37% a CM. Por grupo son 480 pacientes de CQ con ventilación mecánica (VM) y 362 (72%) recibieron uno o más medicamentos sedantes/analgésicos (S/A), los CQ sin VM 357; 337 recibieron (S/A) (94%). El grupo de CM con VM hubo 290 casos en total con 278 (95%) que recibieron (S/A), el resto son 380 CM sin VM y que sólo 188 que representan 49% recibieron alguno de los medicamentos del estudio. Los resultados más interesantes muestran al comparar los años, un aumento en la proporción de pacientes que recibieron fentanilo, propofol y dexmedetomidina. Hubo reducción en la proporción de pacientes que recibieron midazolam. En contraste se nota un aumento en las cantidades promedio y totales empleadas de dexmedetomidina y midazolam, así como cantidades menores en promedio y total diarias de fentanilo y propofol.
En conclusión se usan dosis menores de algunos fármacos en relación con mayores dosis de dexmedetomidina en combinación. Una proporción menor de pacientes recibió midazolam en comparación con los primeros años, y las dosis promedio y las cantidades totales fueron mayores.
