Resumen
Las enfermedades catastróficas son las que requieren de tratamientos prolongados, con un alto valor promedio mensual y las enfermedades autoinmunes son aquellas donde el sistema inmunológico ataca al propio organismo por un fallo de los mecanismos de autoinmunidad producida por factores medioambientales y altas complejidades; ocasionan un gran impacto económico y psicológico en los individuos y familiares por el tiempo prolongado de las terapias; por medio de la aféresis se podrán separar los elementos de la sangre mediante el acoplamiento a una máquina que funciona con el principio de la circulación extracorpórea para contribuir al tratamiento de los pacientes con este tipo de patologías. Partiendo de lo mencionado anteriormente y utilizando la metodología cualitativa se aplicó la encuesta como instrumento de recolección de información utilizando una muestra significativa de 380 pacientes de los diferentes sectores de la ciudad de Guayaquil obteniendo como resultado que la Diabetes Mellitus insulinodependiente, la Diabetes Mellitus no especificada y la Miastenia Gravis son las enfermedades catastróficas más frecuentes y de importancia a tratar, además de la insatisfacción de los pacientes de la atención recibida en los diferentes centros hospitalarios, motivos que demuestran las necesidades existentes y que incentivaron a proponer un modelo de negocio para la creación de un centro de aféresis que ayuden a mejorar la calidad de vida de los habitantes, que cuente con instalaciones confortables, tecnología de punta, personal capacitado y que sea accesible para todas las personas o de escasos recursos
The catastrophic diseases are those that require prolonged treatment with high monthly average value and autoimmune diseases are those where the immune system turns against the body by a failure of the mechanisms of autoimmunity caused by environmental factors and high complexity; cause great economic and psychological impact on individuals and families by the time prolonged therapy; by apheresis may be separate elements of blood by coupling to a machine that works on the principle of extracorporeal circulation to contribute to the treatment of patients with such diseases. Based on the above and using qualitative methodology the survey was applied as a tool for collecting information using a significant sample of 380 patients from different sectors of the city of Guayaquil resulting in the Diabetes mellitus, Diabetes Mellitus unspecified and Myasthenia Gravis are the most frequent and important to treat in addition to patient dissatisfaction of care received in different hospitals, reasons that demonstrate the existing needs and encouraged to propose a business model for catastrophic illnesses creating an apheresis center to help improve the quality of life of the inhabitants, that has comfortable facilities, technology, trained staff and accessible to all persons or poor
