Abstract
Background and objective

With the development of noninvasive ventilation (NIV), patients with increasingly complex needs have been admitted to respiratory medicine departments. For this reason, such departments in Spain and throughout Europe have been adding specialized respiratory intermediate care units (RICUs) for monitoring and treating patients with severe respiratory diseases. The aim of the present study was to describe the activity of such a RICU. The description may be of use in facilitating the setting up of RICUs in other hospitals of the Spanish National Health Service.

Methods

A systematic record of activity carried out in the RICU of the Hospital Universitario Son Dureta between January and December 2006 was kept prospectively.

Results

Of 206 patients with a mean (SD) age of 65 (14) years admitted to the unit, 67% came from the emergency department, 14% from the respiratory medicine department, and 12% from the intensive care unit (ICU). The most common admission diagnoses were exacerbated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (n= 97, 47.1%), pneumonia (n=39, 18.9%), heart failure (n=17, 8.2%), and pulmonary vascular diseases (n=18, 8.7%). One hundred twenty-one patients (59%) required NIV. Mean length of stay in the RICU was 5 (5) days. Patients were discharged to the conventional respiratory ward in 79.1% of the cases; 7.8% required subsequent admission to the ICU, and 9.7% died. Of the patients with exacerbated COPD (mean age, 66.5 [10] years; mean length of stay, 4.6 [4.5] days), 67% required NIV, 7.2% required subsequent admission to the ICU, and 8.2% died.

Conclusions

The creation of a RICU by a respiratory medicine department is viable in Spain. Such units make it possible to treat a large number of patients with a low rate of therapeutic failures. Exacerbated COPD was the most common diagnosis on admission to our RICU, and the need for NIV the most common criterion for admission.

Resumen
Introducción

El desarrollo de la ventilación no invasiva (VNI) ha aumentado la complejidad de los pacientes ingresados en los servicios de neumología. Por ello, en España y Europa se están incorporando unidades especiales para el seguimiento y tratamiento de pacientes con enfermedades respiratorias graves: las unidades de cuidados respiratorios intermedios (UCRI). El objetivo del presente estudio ha sido describir la actividad de una UCRI dependiente de un servicio de neumología. Esta información puede ser un punto de referencia útil que facilite la implementación de las UCRI en otros hospitales del Sistema Nacional de Salud español.

Métodos

De enero a diciembre de 2006, ambos inclusive, se recogió de forma prospectiva y sistemática la actividad realizada en la UCRI del Hospital Universitario Son Dureta.

Resultados

Ingresaron 206 pacientes, cuya edad media (± desviación estándar) era de 65 ± 14 años. Los Servicios de Urgencias y Neumología y la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) aportaron, respectivamente, el 67, el 14 y el 12% de todos los ingresos. Los principales diagnósticos de ingreso fueron: agudización de la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC, con 97 casos; 47%), neumonía (n=39; 19%), insuficiencia cardíaca (n = 17; 8,2%) y enfermedades vasculares pulmonares (n=18; 8,7%). Del total de pacientes, 121 (59%) precisaron VNI. La estancia media fue de 5 ± 5 días. El 79% recibió el alta a camas de hospitalización convencional del propio Servicio de Neumología, el 8% requirió ingreso posterior en la UCI y el 9,7% falleció. De los pacientes con agudización de la EPOC (edad media: 66,5 ± 10 años; estancia media: 4,6 ± 4,5 días), el 67% precisó VNI, el 7,2% requirió un ingreso posterior en la UCI y el 8,2% falleció.

Conclusiones

En nuestro país es viable la creación de una UCRI dependiente del Servicio de Neumología. Estas unidades permiten desarrollar una alta actividad asistencial con un bajo porcentaje de fracasos terapéuticos. La agudización de la EPOC fue el diagnóstico de ingreso más habitual en nuestra UCRI, y la necesidad de tratamiento con VNI, el criterio de ingreso más frecuente.
