Resumen

Las enfermedades cardiovasculares torácicas causan discapacidad y mortalidad significativas en todo el mundo, especialmente en los países de ingresos bajos y medios (LMIC). El fortalecimiento de la atención quirúrgica cardiotorácica y la capacitación de los cirujanos en los PMAI es crucial para la salud mundial.

Área de la Ciencia:

Salud global
Cuidados quirúrgicos
Enfermedades cardiovasculares

Sus antecedentes:

Las enfermedades cardiovasculares torácicas son una de las principales causas de discapacidad y mortalidad en todo el mundo, con 17 millones de muertes al año.
Los países de ingresos bajos y medios soportan una carga desproporcionada, ya que se enfrentan a una escasez crítica de cirujanos cardíacos y a un acceso limitado a la cirugía cardíaca.
Esto pone de relieve una importante preocupación mundial de salud que requiere atención e intervención inmediatas.

Objetivo del estudio:

Revisar la carga global de las enfermedades quirúrgicas cardiotorácicas.
Evaluar el estado actual de la atención quirúrgica cardiotorácica en todo el mundo.
Hacer hincapié en los beneficios de establecer capacidades quirúrgicas cardiotorácicas sólidas dentro de los sistemas de salud mundiales.

Principales métodos:

Se llevó a cabo una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura.
Las bases de datos buscadas incluyen PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE, Cochrane y Google Scholar.
Los aspectos clave examinados fueron el impacto global de las enfermedades cardiotorácicas y las capacidades de atención quirúrgica existentes.

Principales resultados:

Las enfermedades cardiotorácicas representan un componente sustancial de la carga de enfermedad mundial.
Un cuidado cardiotorácico eficaz está interconectado con más de 15 de los 17 Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible.
Los cirujanos cardiotorácicos desempeñan un papel vital en las iniciativas del sistema de salud mundial.

Conclusiones:

Los responsables políticos y las organizaciones mundiales de salud deben aumentar la integración de los cirujanos cardiotorácicos en los diálogos y sistemas mundiales de salud.
La atención quirúrgica cardiotorácica debe integrarse y aplicarse dentro del movimiento quirúrgico global.
El fomento de la formación y la educación de los cirujanos cardiotorácicos en los PMAI, con especial atención a la salud pública mundial, es esencial para el fortalecimiento de los sistemas quirúrgicos nacionales.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...
