[Ethical issues in the clinical records of a group of terminal patients admitted into a third level hospital. Lacks and improvements.]

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Terminal patients and their relatives must know their real situation, and be treated according to the principle of autonomy, to establish therapeutic objectives adapted each one, according to their needs and decisions. The objective of this study is to identify the sufficient existence of records in the Medical Histories of terminal patients, which indicate their situation, such as the information given to the patients, or the LET, No-RCP or Z.51.5 codes, and the statistical relation they have with the sociodemographic and clinical variables. METHODS:Cross-sectional study in a third-level hospital, with patients admitted between January and December 2017, who died with terminal illness criteria. Data were collected from the medical records, and, fundamentally, from the nursing clinical notes. The statistical analysis was performed with the SPSS program, version 22. RESULTS:Participants were 140 people, 54.3% men, of 78.51 (SD=13.5) of middle age. People up to 70 years of age received less information (Odds ratio (OR): 0.077, 95% Confidence interval (CI): 0.015-0.390) and lower sedation (OR: 0.366, 95% CI: 0.149-0.899). Proceeding from city reduced the probability of receiving information (OR: 0.202; IC95%: 0.058-0.705). Presenting dyspnea reduced LTE (OR: 0.44, 95% CI: 0.20-093), No CPR (0.29, 95% CI: 0.12-0.68) and sedation (OR: 0.27; 95% CI: 0.12-060). Fatigue increased the probability of being Non-CPR (OR: 2.77, 95% CI: 1.166-6.627) and of receiving sedation (OR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.065-6.331). CONCLUSIONS:Efforts to empower the patient in the decision of their process and the management of the information of their diagnosis and prognosis are still lacking. A greater and better clinical records facilitates knowing how actions are developed, allowing to identify and implement ethical and responsible interventions. OBJETIVO:Los/las pacientes en estado terminal y sus familiares deben conocer su situación y ser tratados según el principio de autonomía, para establecer así objetivos terapéuticos adaptados a cada uno/a de acuerdo a sus necesidades y decisiones. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la existencia de registros en las historias clínicas de pacientes terminales que señalen su situación, como la información ofrecida, los códigos de limitación del esfuerzo terapéutico (LET), la no reanimación cardiopulmonar (No-RCP) o Z.51.5, y la relación con las variables sociodemográficas y clínicas. METODOS:Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal en un hospital de tercer nivel, con pacientes ingresados entre enero y diciembre de 2017, que fallecieron con criterios de enfermedad terminal. Se recogieron los datos de las historias clínicas y, fundamentalmente, de las notas clínicas de enfermería. El análisis estadístico se realizó con el programa SPSS, versión 22. RESULTADOS:Participaron 140 personas, 54,3% de hombres, de 78,51 años (Desviación estándar -DS-=13,5) de edad media. Las personas menores de 70 años recibieron menos información (Odds Ratio -OR-: 0,077; Intervalo de Confianza -IC- 95%: 0,015-0,390) y menor sedación (OR: 0,366; IC 95%: 0,149-0,899). Proceder de ciudad redujo la probabilidad de recibir información (OR: 0,202; IC 95%: 0,058-0,705). Presentar disnea redujo la LET (OR: 0,44; IC 95%: 0,20-093), el No RCP (0,29; IC 95%: 0,12-0,68) y la sedación (OR:0,27; IC 95%: 0,12-060). La fatiga aumentó la probabilidad de ser No RCP (OR: 2,77; IC 95%: 1,163-6,627) y de recibir sedación (OR:2,6; IC 95%: 1,065-6,331). CONCLUSIONES:Los esfuerzos por empoderar al paciente en la toma de decisiones son todavía escasos. Un mayor y mejor registro facilita conocer cómo se desarrollan las actuaciones, permitiendo identificar y poner en marcha intervenciones éticas y responsables.
