Pacientes con diagnostico reciente de cáncer el pronostico lo determina la naturaleza y el numero de órganos afectados. Fallo hepático, necesidad de drogas vasoactivas y de ventilación mecánica (VM) son variables independientes que predicen incremento de mortalidad a los 30 y 180 días ( supervivencia 60 y 49 % respectivamente) | |
La mortalidad del paciente sometido a quimioterapia y que precisan de UCI es del 50% | |
El Fracaso respiratorio es la causa mas común de necesidad de UCI | |
La VM es determinante en el pronostico: mortalidad 50 % y del 75% si se acompaña de severa injuria pulmonar. (Cálculos ALI y LIS) | |
Hipoxemia < 55 mmHg AA y/o pO2/fiO2 < 150 previos a VM presagian una alta mortalidad (menor si se trata de neumonía o de sepsis) | |
VMNI debe de intentarse como alterantiva a la VM ( además de tto paliativo para la disnea) | |
En cancer de pulmón inoperable mortalidad del 91% en VM y 100% si la precisan mas de 6 días. | |
VM > de 14 dias en oncológicos de cualquier etiología mortalidad 99.9 %. | |
Fracaso Multiorgánico: | |
Mas de 4 órganos mortalidad 100% | |
Trasplante de medula ósea (TMO) | |
Mortalidad 20% | |
Si precisan VM más de 24 horas solo sobreviven el 6% a los 30 dias postextubación. | |
Mortalidad 100% si VM fio2 ≥0'6 , PEEP≥5 y una de las siguientes: Br > 4 mg/dl + creatinina >2 mg/dl o necesidad de vasopresores mas de 4 horas. | |
El Apache II no es un buen indicador pronostico para ptes oncológicos, si el APACHE III del primer dia . | |
Recomendaciones: | |
El ingreso en UCI pude estar indicado en pacientes oncológicos sometidos a quimioterapia o TMO. Sin embargo, si requieren VM > de 24 horas probablemente mueran en el hospital ( 94%). | |
Reevaluar diariamente si se desarrolla DMO. | |
Adoptar medidas paliativas si no se recuperan en los primeros días. |
