Resumen
Las complicaciones postanestésicas son eventos adversos relacionados a la
administración de medicamentos utilizados en eventos anestésicos y también se relacionan
al tipo de cirugía y condiciones del paciente, además de que son eventos temidos por los
anestesiólogos ya que repercuten directamente en la calidad de atención percibida por el
paciente.
Nuestro presente estudio, es observacional, transversal, descriptivo, cualitativo y
retrospectivo en donde analizamos los registros en expediente clínico electrónico de 3,167
pacientes que ingresarona la Uidad de Cuidados Post-Anestésicos desde octubre del 2018
hasta junio del 2022 en el Centenario Hospital Miguel Hidalgo con la finalidad de identificar
las complicaciones postanestésicas más frecuentes presentadas en pacientes adultos
sometidos a anestesia general balanceada.
Se excluyeron 1,929 pacientes (61%) basados en criterior de exclusión , se incluyeron
1,218 pacientes (39%), de los cuales 75 pacientes (6%), de los cuales 33 eran pacientes
femeninos y 42 del sexo masculino quienes presentaron algun tipo de complicación como
lo son náuseas y vómitos postoperatorios (17 pacientes en ambos sexos), dolor agudo se
presentó en 15 pacientes femeninos e hipotensión en 9 mujeres mientras que en hombres
le secundó la hipotensión presentada en 8 pacientes y dolor agudo en 7 masculinos
complicaciones cardiovasculares se mencionan como hipotensión y las complicaciones
respiratorias no se registraron, por lo tanto se puede concluir que no existe relación directa
entre edad y sexo para algunas de las complicaciones.
Se incluyen un campo como “otras complicaciones” en las que se presenta desaturación,
sin embargo, no se toman en cuenta como complicaciones respiratorias ya que la
desaturación oscila entre 85-90%, los cuales eran parámetros previamente presentados por
los pacientes en estado basal, lo que nos indica o no se descarta patología pulmonar previa
a procedimiento quirúrgico, lo cual no se relaciona a efectos adversos en UCPA. Es importante mencionar, que se encontraron diversos sesgos, como lo son los
relacionados a recursos humanos ya que se ha identificado un registro mínimo en diferentes
horarios en que se brinda la atención perioperatoria, así como sesgos administrativos y de
omisión.
Abstract
Post-anesthetic complications are adverse events related to the administration of
medications used in anesthetic events and are also related to the type of surgery and patient
conditions, in addition to being events feared by anesthesiologists since they directly affect
the quality of care perceived by the patient. patient.
Our present study is observational, cross-sectional, descriptive, qualitative and
retrospective, where we analyzed the records in the electronic clinical record of 3,167
patients who were admitted to the Post-Anesthetic Care Unit from October 2018 to June
2022 at the Centenario Hospital Miguel Hidalgo with in order to identify the most frequent
post-anesthetic complications presented in adult patients undergoing balanced general
anesthesia.

post-anesthetic complications presented in adult patients undergoing balanced general

1,929 patients (61%) were excluded based on exclusion criteria, 1,218 patients (39%) were
included, of which 75 patients (6%), of which 33 were female patients and 42 male patients
who presented some type of complication such as postoperative nausea and vomiting (17
patients in both sexes), acute pain presented in 15 female patients and hypotension in 9
women while in men it was seconded by hypotension presented in 8 patients and acute pain
in 7 males Cardiovascular complications were mentioned as hypotension and respiratory
complications were not recorded, therefore it can be concluded that there is no direct
relationship between age and sex for some of the complications.
A field is included as "other complications" in which desaturation occurs, however, they are
not taken into account as respiratory complications since desaturation ranges between 85-
90%, which were parameters previously presented by patients at baseline. , which indicates whether or not pulmonary pathology prior to the surgical procedure is ruled out, which is not
related to adverse effects in PACU.
It is important to mention that various biases were found, such as those related to human
resources, since a minimum record has been identified at different times in which
perioperative care is provided, as well as administrative and omission biases.
