Hemodiálise em UTI: um estudo descritivo ecológico em duas unidades de terapia intensiva de um hospital terciário dos Campos Gerais

Abstract

This article aims to describe the clinical, laboratorial and social characteristics as well as therapeutical interventions in patients under hemodialysis and it’s association with mortality. This study was performed at two Intensive Care Units of Campos Gerais Tertiary Hospital from January first 2014 to January first 2016. This study also sought to analyze modifiable risk factors through a health care interdisciplinary approach. Fifty variables were analyzed. Quantitative variables were calculated with median and standart deviation and compared through Student t test. Fisher test was performed with the qualitative variables as well as comparison in absolute numbers and percentage. Mortality had positive association with Mechanical ventilation system, high blood levels of potassium, lower levels of creatinine at the admission time, use of ranitidine, the absence of diuresis and use of noradrenalin. Prospective studies with an interdisciplinary outreach will be required to try to minimize feasible risk factors associated with mortality.
