El ECG es aún hoy, por su disponibilidad generalizada, su condición
de procedimiento no invasivo y su alta sensibilidad, una herramienta
extremadamente útil como prueba diagnóstica inicial en todo tipo de pacientes.
En ocasiones, el registro ECG presenta peculiaridades que pueden confundir al
médico y complicar su proceso de toma de decisiones. El artículo que presentamos
hoy, firmado por un grupo de cardiólogos rumanos y griegos, revisa algunos de
los síndromes cardiológicos poco frecuentes que presentan patrones ECG
característicos. Enlace de descarga: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fBciGxBl3tQss4lwGG0ZYUwPmMXs-L2Q/view?usp=sharing
Electrocardiogram
(ECG) still remains a very useful diagnostic method in modern cardiology due to
its broad availability, noninvasiveness and good sensitivity. It plays a
capital role in the very beginning of the process of diagnosis for every
patient, with or without cardiac-related complaints. Sometimes, the ECG trace
reveals particular aspects that may cause confusion and complicate
decision-making. In this article, a group of Romanian and Greek doctors present
several less common situations underlying the general context and ECG features.

El manejo de la vía aérea es una intervención imprescindible
siempre que se vaya a someter al niño/neonato a una anestesia general, y
también en presencia de diversas patologías críticas. La incidencia de
complicaciones es alta en este tipo de pacientes, y por ello la Sociedad
Europea de Anestesiología y Cuidados Intensivos ha realizado una revisión (con
metodología GRADE y mediante preguntas PICO) de la evidencia disponible en
siete áreas: evaluación y preparación, medicación, técnicas y algoritmos,
identificación y manejo de la vía aérea difícil, confirmación de la intubación
traqueal, extubación y factores humanos. A partir de ella ha elaborado diez
recomendaciones con distinto nivel de fuerza. Enlace de descarga: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15BRfLxoet_bVh1roCI7vaH3MoSXNJcQe/view?usp=sharing
Airway management is mandatory during general
anaesthesia and is essential for life-threatening conditions. Recent trials
indicate a high incidence of critical events during airway management in
neonates and children. In order to define the optimal techniques and strategies
the European Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care did a review (using
GRADE methodology and PICO questions) of the bibliography regarding to seven
areas of interest: preoperative assessment and preparation; medications;
techniques and algorithms; identification and treatment of difficult airways;
confirmation of tracheal intubation; tracheal extubation, and human factors.
Guidelines include 10 recommendations with different levels of methodological
quality. Download link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15BRfLxoet_bVh1roCI7vaH3MoSXNJcQe/view?usp=sharing
