“…There are long-term oncological surgeries in which the patient has a greater wound exposure to pathogens, and the hospitalization time constitutes another important factor of incidence due to the greater probability of colonization in the patient's wound during the period of hospitalization, which facilitates the installation of infectious processes (Pérez- Martínez et al, 2014). Another incidence factor is respiratory infections, which are a frequent reason for consultation and hospitalization in cancer patients and are associated with high morbidity and mortality (Fuentes et al, 2014). This explains its predominance in the patients in the sample.…”

“…Patients with malignancies are at risk of infectious diseases, and complications due to infections are a serious cause of morbidity and mortality in this patient (Fuentes et al, 2014;Zembower, 2014). The inappropriate use of antimicrobials is a health worldwide problem because it causes an increase in morbidity and mortality and contributes to an increase in bacterial resistance and costs of care, causing unnecessary adverse effects, prolonged hospitalizations, and infections associated with health care (Aitken et al, 2019;Cernuda Mesa et al, 2017).…”

Context: The inappropriate use of antimicrobials is a public worldwide health problem that causes increased morbidity and mortality, bacterial resistance, and care costs and hospitalizations. Aims: To evaluate the prescription of antimicrobials in patients treated at a Cuban cancer hospital, based on clinical indicators and pharmacotherapeutics. Methods: Retrospective descriptive study of prescription-indication of antimicrobials, during the period of January-December 2018, in a Cuban cancer hospital. Hospitalized patients with antimicrobial treatment were included in the study. The determination of prevalent microorganisms and bacterial resistance was analyzed through the book of infection control and antibiograms. The adequate and inadequate categories of prescriptions based on clinical and pharmacotherapeutic indicators were established to evaluate the prescription. Results: In a sample of 50 patients, laryngeal cancer (40%), surgical wound infection (48%), and beta-lactam pharmacological group (46.4%) prevailed. Eight germs were isolated, with a predominance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (26.3%) with gentamicin resistance (66.7%). Staphylococcus spp. presented resistance to ciprofloxacin (63.6%) and amikacin (54.5%). Escherichia coli exhibited resistance to gentamicin (66.7%) and ciprofloxacin (55.6%). Appropriate prescriptions predominated (52%), with the indicator ‘indication and therapeutic scheme’ being the most difficult. Conclusions: The inappropriate use of antimicrobials constitutes a problem in cancer patients and highlights the need to implement actions that contribute to raising the quality of prescriptions to prevent microbial resistance.

Introducción: El incremento de casos COVID con problemas respiratorios de complejidad variable y la inclusión actual de tratamientos farmacológicos y terapéuticos en la población oncológica son motivos de estudio para verificar los efectos de la posición prono en paciente consciente. Material y métodos: Estudio cuantitativo de diseño retrospectivo, en el que se realizó una revisión de los expedientes clínicos. La muestra estuvo constituida de 100 expedientes que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. El análisis de datos descriptivo incluyó frecuencias y porcentajes, mientras que la hipótesis se realizó a través de la prueba T de Student para muestras relacionadas. Resultados: El sexo femenino se representó en un 52%, donde predominó como tipo de cáncer el hematooncológico. De acuerdo con la capacidad de las personas con cáncer para realizar actividades, se mostró que 54% de la población podía vivir en casa y auto cuidarse. Limitaciones del estudio: Falta de un grupo control, inclusión de algunas variables de estudio que podrían haber intervenido en los resultados. Originalidad: Este articulo posee valor debido a la falta de información sobre el paciente con cáncer y COVID-19. Conclusiones: La pronación es una opción de manejo en pacientes oncológicos que puede prevenir mayor daño o complicaciones, considerando que es una intervención que requiere una evaluación previa para determinar si las condiciones son favorables para aplicarla.
