Encuesta nacional: impacto de la COVID-19 en los servicios de cirugia cardiovascular de Espana (Estudio SECCE-COVID-19) National survey: Impact of COVID-19 on cardiovascular surgery services in Spain (SECCE-COVID19 Study)

ABSTRACT:

Introducción y objetivos

La pandemia de COVID-19 causada por infección del virus SARS-CoV-2 ha puesto en una situación de sobrecarga grave al sistema sanitario español. Como consecuencia se ha visto afectada la atención de las enfermedades cardiovasculares. Queremos cuantificar a nivel estatal el impacto de la pandemia en el número de las intervenciones quirúrgicas, para poder planificar la nueva normalidad pospandemia.

Métodos

A instancias de la Sociedad Española de Cirugía Cardiovascular y Endovascular se envió una encuesta telemática anónima de 10 preguntas a todos los jefes de servicio de España. El período de estudio fue entre el 1 de enero de 2020 y el 30 de septiembre de 2020 (9 meses), y como período control las mismas fechas del año 2019.

Resultados

Se recibieron los datos de 32 centros hospitalarios. Un 22% del total de cirujanos cardiovasculares se contagiaron de COVID-19, siendo la media de 1,3 ± 1,5 adjuntos infectados/centro. Hubo fallecidos en lista de espera en el 46% de los centros, con una media de 1,5 ± 3,6 pacientes/centro. Hubo un descenso global del 13% en el número de cirugías (43 menos de media/centro respecto a 2019), desde una mediana de 300 (230-444) en 2019 y de 253 (172-389) en 2020 (p = 0,03) con un incremento del 12% (+7 pacientes/centro, p = 0,68) en las listas de espera.

Conclusiones

Existió un descenso global de cirugías del 13% respecto a 2019, con un incremento del 12% en las listas de espera. El 22% de los cirujanos se contagiaron de COVID-19.

Project description:Introduction One of the great challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic was the management of ventilatory support. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was the main strategy for the management of refractory acute respiratory distress syndrome. Objective Retrospective, multicentre cohort study of adult patients who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in participating centers. Clinical and paraclinical characteristics were recorded. A comparison was made between surviving and non-surviving patients. In addition, time from symptom onset to ECMO placement, time from mechanical ventilation, and cannulation were analyzed. Material and methods Retrospective, multicentre cohort study of adult patients who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in participating centers. Clinical and paraclinical characteristics were recorded. A comparison was made between surviving and non-surviving patients. In addition, time from symptom onset to ECMO placement, time from mechanical ventilation, and cannulation were analyzed. Results Twenty-six patients were included in the analysis. Mortality during ECMO was 42.3% (n = 11) and overall hospital mortality was 65.3% (n = 17). The patient cohort did not differ in terms of sociodemographic characteristics and predictors of mortality at ICU admission between survivors and non-survivors. Mobile ECMO was performed in 10 patients, while 16 were cannulated in situ at the participating centers. The median time from symptom onset to ECMO was 14.5 days (IQR 10.7–21.5), 11 days (IQR 9.5–15.5) in the survivor group, and 17 days (IQR 12.5–27) in non-survivors. The median IMV time was 28.5 (IQR 13–38.25) days. Driving pressure (12 vs 10 cmH2O; p < .01), compliance (37.2 vs 21.4 ml/cmH2O; p < .01), and mechanical power (17.4 vs 11.3 J/min; p = .051) of the respiratory system showed statistically significant differences when comparing survivors and non-survivors, during the 3rd day of ECMO support. Conclusion In our cohort, mortality after ECMO and after 30 days of hospital stay, was 42.3%, similar to that stated on the extracorporeal life support organization (ELSO) COVID-19 registry dashboard. Information about patients with COVID-19 who required ECMO during the first wave in Argentina was provided in this analysis.
