Resumen
El evento cerebrovascular se caracteriza por un déficit neurológico atribuido a una lesión
focal aguda del sistema nervioso central por una causa vascular.
Este estudio observacional, de corte transversal y descriptivo tiene el objetivo de
determinar el tiempo de estadía hospitalaria, los factores de riesgo del evento
cerebrovascular isquémico y las características clínicas en los pacientes con evento
cerebrovascular isquémico atendidos en el servicio de Medicina Interna del Hospital de
Especialidades Dr. Abel Gilbert Pontón en el año 2014, para así sugerir medidas
preventivas y reducir los casos de eventos cerebrovasculares isquémicos.
La Organización Mundial de la Salud estima que ocurren 20,5 millones de eventos
cerebrovasculares anuales en todo el mundo y 5 millones son fatales. De acuerdo con la
Organización Panamericana de la Salud ha habido un aumento en la cantidad de casos y
en la gravedad de la enfermedad cerebrovascular en las Américas, siendo mayor en
América Latina y en el Caribe, donde existe menor control de los factores de riesgo. El
evento cerebrovascular según el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos y la
Organización Panamericana de la Salud se encuentra entre las 5 principales causas de
muerte de los ecuatorianos.
En el Hospital de Especialidades Dr. Abel Gilbert Pontón encontramos que los factores
de riesgo más frecuentes fueron la hipertensión arterial, la dislipidemia y la diabetes
mellitus, también que el evento cerebrovascular isquémico fue predominante en el sexo
masculino. Las manifestaciones clínicas del evento cerebrovascular isquémico fueron la
alteración del estado de conciencia, alteraciones motoras y alteraciones del lenguaje.
Cerebrovascular event is characterized by an acute focal neurological deficit attributed to a CNS injury by a vascular cause. This observational, cross-sectional, descriptive study aims to determine the length of hospital stay, the risk factors of ischemic cerebrovascular event and its clinical manifestations in patients treated in the Internal Medicine service of Specialty Hospital Dr. Abel Gilbert Pontón in 2014 in order to suggest preventive actions and reduce the incidence of cerebrovascular event. The World Health Organization estimates that 20.5 million cerebrovascular events occur annually worldwide and 5 million are fatal. According to the Pan American Health Organization, has been an increase in the number of cases and severity of cerebrovascular disease in the Americas, being higher in Latin America and the Caribbean, where there is less control over risk factors. According the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses and the Pan American Health Organization cerebrovascular event as is among the five leading causes of death among Ecuadorians. In Specialty Hospital Dr. Abel Gilbert Pontón were found that most frequent risk factors were hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus, ischemic cerebrovascular event was also predominant in males. Clinical manifestations in ischemic cerebrovascular event were the altered state of consciousness, motor disorders and language disorders.
