Background: The Levin-type nasogastric tube is indicated for gastric decompression, but due to its economic cost it is used to feed and administer medications in patients who cannot do it by themselves; its proximal end does not have a closure system. The study determined the effectiveness and safety of a device (Cisol), specially created for the proximal closure of the Levin-type nasogastric tube for adults compared to the conventional device (syringe). Methods: Study of experimental design, randomized of preventive type applied outside the clinical context, through which the effectiveness and safety of both devices were estimated and compared taking into account as markers: their weight, size and shape. Results: According to the evaluation of the participants, Cisol is considered effective and safe for the proposed purposes since its weight, size and shape would significantly favor patient comfort and handling compared to the syringe. Conclusions: The new CISOL design is safe to use, and has the potential to reduce risks related to traction and overweight at the proximal end of the probe, as well as contributing to patient comfort. The effectiveness and safety of the CISOL device differs from the effectiveness and safety of the conventional device (syringe) used to close the Levin catheter.
Introducción: Las enfermedades cardiovasculares se constituyen un problema de salud pública, dentro de este grupo, la enfermedad coronaria ha mostrado incrementos especialmente en la prevalencia para infarto agudo de miocardio en mujeres de 35-54 años. La organización mundial de la salud propone estudiar el problema desde las diferencias regionales para encontrar soluciones al asunto. Objetivo: Analizar la asociación entre características socioculturales y de salud con la enfermedad coronaria en mujeres de Nariño. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio de casos (mujeres con enfermedad coronaria) y controles (mujeres sin enfermedad coronaria) atendidas en instituciones de referencia para el departamento de Nariño. La muestra estuvo conformada por 35 casos y 105 controles por muestreo no probabilístico. Resultados: Características como: ser fumadora, hipertensa y vivir en el área urbana mostraron mayor asociación con la enfermedad coronaria: Odd ratios= 21,11; IC 95% 3,97-112,26 y Odd ratios= 9,47; IC 95% 2,87-31,23 respectivamente. Se destaca la proporción de mujeres con enfermedad coronaria que culturalmente se caracterizan por callar su enfermedad para no preocupar. Discusión: Ser fumadora e hipertensa se constituyen en determinantes para desarrollar enfermedad coronaria, situaciones que pueden ser inducidas por situaciones familiares, sociales, culturales, ocupacionales que la mujer debe enfrentar. Conclusiones: La mujer con enfermedad coronaria se caracterizó por ser fumadora, hipertensa y vivir en el área urbana, lo anterior muestra que es necesario generar estrategias específicas de prevención y control en la mujer.
