ABSTRACT

Introduction: FAST-HUG mnemotechnics encompasses seven minimum aspects in critical patient care (feeding, analgesia, sedation, thromboprophylaxis, elevation of the head, prevention of stress ulcers and glucose control). Its compliance has shown improvement in the prognosis.
Objective: To establish if there is an association between the compliance of the FAST-HUG and the mortality of the critical patient when assessing the severity of admission using the SOFA scale.
Material and methods: Clinical, descriptive, transversal and prospective study. It included patients admitted to the ICU of La Villa General Hospital and «Dr. Rubén Leñero» General Hospital, from February 28 to May 31, 2018. The following data were recorded: age, sex, type of diagnosis, SOFA score, number of variables fulfilled by FAST-HUG, feeding, analgesia, sedation, RASS, thromboprophylaxis, degrees of inclination of the head, prophylaxis of gastric ulcer, capillary glucose figure, origin, destination, days of stay, complications and death.
Results: 129 patients were studied, female 52 (40%), 77 male (60%), mean age 49 years SD ± 17.3, medical diagnoses 36 (28%), surgical 61 (47%), traumatic 22 (17%) and obstetricians 10 (8%). Most frequent SOFA score of 0-6 points in 59 patients (46%). The most fulfilled variable was U 122 (95%). The mean compliance of the variables was 5 SD ± 1.04. Compliance with F, S and T had statistical significance in terms of mortality. F (p ‹ 0.01), S (p ‹ 0.01), T (p ‹ 0.05).
Conclusions: The application of FAST-HUG in critical patients reduces the risk of mortality specifically when at least three variables are met (diet, sedation and thromboprophylaxis).
