ABSTRACT
Objective: To describe morbidity and mortality from cerebrovascular diseases in a pediatric intensive care unit.Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional investigation was carried out in a sample constituted by 45 patients who entered the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, at Professor Pepe Portilla Pediatric Provincial Hospital in Pinar del Río, from January 2016 to December 2019. They had a diagnosis of stroke. The variables used were age, sex, type of stroke, therapeutic behavior, image techniques used, etiology; Mortality and survival. Absolute and relative frequencies were determined in percentages for the analysis of the results.
Results: Children over 15 years old (55.5%) predominated. There was more incidence of hemorrhagic cerebrovascular accidents (84.4%). Conservative medical behavior exceeded the surgical (62.2%). The computed tomography (93.3%) was the most used image technique. The cranioencephalic traumas represented 44.4%. Mortality for years was 37.7%.
Conclusions: Patients older than 15 years and male sex were those who had more incidence in the pediatric intensive care unit. Among stroke, hemorrhages predominated. It was not possible to identify the cause in a significant group of children who hindered their management and prognosis.
