Abstract
El manejo anestésico del paciente pediátrico requiere de una formación y unas estructuras específicas, debido a las situaciones adversas que se pueden producir. El estudio APRICOT (Anaesthesia PRactice In Children Obervational Trial) con una muestra de más de 30.000 pacientes de 33 países europeos y a través de un minucioso análisis observacional de cohortes prospectivo, recoge la naturaleza, la incidencia y los factores de riesgo de los evento críticos más comprometedores; desde los más comunes como el laringoespasmo o el broncoespasmo, la bradicardia hasta la parada cardiaca, pasando por fenómenos neurológicos, anafilaxia o errores de medicación. Obtiene unos resultados que distan en algunos aspectos de lo estudiado hasta ahora. La diversidad de los datos analizados permite identificar aquellos factores de riesgo relacionados con los eventos críticos, entre ellos el anestesista y el centro hospitalario. Pero sobre todo da pie a la necesidad de crear guías de manejo anestésico pediátrico encaminadas hacia una Anestesia más segura. ABSTRACT APRICOT report about our yougest´s safety The perioperative care of infants and children demands special training and facilities due to possible critical events. The APRICOT study (Anaesthesia PRactice In Children Obervational Trial) analyses more than 30.000 anaesthetic procedures from 33 different European countries. Through a detailed prospective observational cohort study, this trial identifies the incidence, the nature and the outcomes of severe critical events in children, including laryngospasm, bronchospasm, cardiovascular instability and cardiac arrest, neurological damage, anaphylaxis or drug errors. Some reported results differ from what was previously published in the literature. Large variation of the collected data allows to identify those risk factors contributing to the severe critical events, among them, the anaesthetist and the centre. This study especially motivates to create clinical practice guidelines of paediatric anaesthesia management for a safer Anaesthesia.
