Me llaman de la planta por una paciente:
- Es la cama 2B29, está muy apurada- me dicen.

No he podido revisarme bien la historia, pero a grandes rasgos, mujer-70años-hipertensa, sin más antecedentes, se llama Carmen.

Me pongo mi EPI y entro. Image
Efectivamente, la paciente está boca abajo, con una almohada bajo el pecho, cabeza mirando la ventana.

Me impresiona, tiene cogido el pulsador de llamada para avisar si se encuentra peor, no puede moverse apenas... y pienso “como se parece a mi madre joder” Image
Es increíble ver a la gente luchando por su vida, la fortaleza del ser humano, ver cómo pelea, eso sí puedo decirlo, somos un país de #peleones

Le aparto el pelo de la cara, me agacho un poco para q me vea, me presento,

si oyes UCI ya sabes a lo que vienen... Image
⁃No respiro bien- dice- quiero algo de agua,no puedo seguir así,no puedo más

⁃No te preocupes,veo cómo va el oxígeno y pido ayuda- Satura 90%, reservorio 15lpm.

Busco a su enfermera y entre las dos la ponemos boca arriba,mejora,toma algo de agua,hablo con ella,le explico. Image
Ahora satura al 95%, “luego paso a verte” le digo, “estoy ahora mejor”- me contesta, discreta sonrisa, mirada de terror.

Hablo con sus médicos: “avisadme si empeora”. Image
48 horas después está en la cama 8 de la uci, intubada y con ventilación mecánica, y pienso “como se parece a mi madre joder, venga pelea”

Por supuesto que esto es una historia real... #estoesCOVID19 Image

We usually use the Moca test. We presented an abstract last year at the SCCM congress about our results, a very small sample but very interesting. I agree that the interviewer's training is essential.
44% of our post-icu clinic patients had cognitive impairment, with Moca less than 25.
The area most affected was visuospatial and executive.
These are the clocks that our post-ICU patients draw a month after hospital discharge, is it justified or not the follow-up of our patients? Could we improve this evolution? Image
