Correlación de las complicaciones de la hemorragia subaracnoidea con la escala de Fisher en pacientes del Hospital Teodoro Maldonado Carbo en el periodo enero 2016 – diciembre de 2018.

Abstract

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is sudden bleeding in the subarachnoid space and one of the most feared neurological emergencies due to its high associated morbidity and mortality. Objective: The present study aims to demonstrate the direct relationship between the magnitude of bleeding and complications. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective, observational and analytical study. The data were extracted from the clinical records in the AS400 clinical system of the IESS Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital, period January 2016 to December 2018. Results: A population sample of 151 patients diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage was included, in which the result Within Severity scales, it was obtained that most of the patients were found in a Fisher IV (47.0%). And the most frequent etiology is that of the aneurysm type. Conclusions: As it was found that on a larger Fisher scale it is more common to find vasospasm as a complication followed by bleeding, but nevertheless the risk of suffering from bleeding is 4 times greater than vasospasm.
