Introduction: Hospital malnutrition is a global health problem, and its prevalence has been estimated between 30–60%. Its early identification constitutes a pillar of the management and treatment of critically ill patients. Its usefulness has been shown both to improve the survival of these patients, as well as to reduce complications related to it, and reduce costs. Objectives: apply the CONUT scale to assess nutritional risk and as a predictor of mortality. Relate it with causes of admission, stay in the ICU, time on mechanical ventilation, and the state at discharge from the ICU and determine the sensitivity and specificity of the CONUT scale as a predictor of mortality and its comparison with the APACHE II scale. Methods: it was carried out in the ICU of the "Miguel Enríquez" Hospital for a period of 2 years. The variables applied were: age, sex, ICU stay, origin services, need for mechanical ventilation, discharge status, nutritional status classification according to CONUT and APACHE II. Results: There was a predominance of males, the average stay was between 1-6 days, and mortality was low. More than 90% of the patients were malnourished, the diagnosis at admission and the use of mechanical ventilation, and no association with mortality was demonstrated. Conclusions: An association between nutritional status and ICU stay was demonstrated. According to the ROC curve, it was shown that the CONUT has a high sensitivity to predict nutritional risk and its relationship with mortality, compared to the APACHE scale it was low.

“…En esta investigación se determinó que el nivel de conocimiento de los estudiantes de enfermería sobre el triaje en el área de emergencia requiere de una formación de excelencia que permita dar una respuesta rápida en la atención de salud. (10) Por otro lado, es importante conocer cómo manejar el Sistema de Manchester, ya que es un método decisivo que proporciona distribución en la atención de pacientes y un error puede costar incluso hasta la vida de un ser humano. (11) La población que participó en este estudio abarcó estudiantes de cuarto y quinto semestres de la carrera de enfermería, 50 % de ellos pertenecen a cuarto semestre y el otro 50 % a quinto semestre; y, el rango de edad de aquellos estudiantes es de los 19 a 20 años.…”

Introduction: Triage is a tool used by healthcare professionals that allows them to classify the degree of urgency according to the symptoms present, in order to reduce patient demand in the emergency area and ensure effective and adequate care. Therefore, it is necessary for healthcare personnel to have scientific fundamentals prior to handling this area. Objective: To analyze the level of knowledge of nursing students on Triage in the Emergency area. Methods: This research is a cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach; and, it is based on data collection using the Scale of Knowledge Level in Triage Management in Nursing Personnel (NICMA-TRIPE), in which 120 nursing students from the Technical University of Ambato participated. Results: Among the findings during the research, we have that 38% of the students totally agree, meaning they significantly know the definition of triage, 24% agree, 16% neither agree nor disagree, 14% disagree, and 9% totally disagree. Conclusions: Nursing students at the Technical University of Ambato have adequate knowledge about the triage process in the emergency service, which contributes to providing efficient care to the patient in terms of demand and clinical needs of the healthcare facility.

“…Lastly, terms related to cardiovascular pathology suggest a multidisciplinary approach. While deaths have significantly decreased from the 1980s to the early 2020s, there has been an alarming increase in overall mortality in recent years [43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. Consequently, improving cardiovascular health requires new approaches and research [50][51][52].…”

The increase in the global prevalence of cardiovascular diseases has raised great concern among health professionals worldwide, making the advancement of knowledge in this field even more important. The aim of the study was to perform a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature in Latin America on cardiovascular pathologies from 2003 to 2023. The methodology was based on a bibliometric and quantitative analysis of the literature. The scientific production indicators were generated from 6660 documents selected from Scopus using keywords in English ("diseases" and "pathologies"). The number of publications devoted to the subject increased by 89% between 2009 and 2022. Brazil is the country with the highest scientific production (63.9%), and the Universidade de São Paulo with the most publications (n=1277). The journal Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia had 684 publications, with Lotufo, P.A. (n=60) being the author with the most papers. It is concluded that cardiovascular diseases are important, as they are the main cause of disability and premature death, and both have an impact on increasing the cost of medical care. As a consequence, there has been an increase in the number of medical studies dedicated to this pathology in Latin America and the rest of the world.
