Description
Summary:<strong>Background:</strong> Sepsis is the most frequent cause of death in critical ill patient. The necessity to have with evolutionary and predictable markers for medical routines is a tangible fact. <strong><br />Objective:</strong> To make a study about the determinant supremacies in the assessment and prognosis help of the patient whose main complaint of admission in the ICU was sepsis. <br /><strong>Methods:</strong> A descriptive, retrospective, longitudinal and series of cases study (N=155, n=127) with polytomic logistic regression was carried out in order to determine the essential supremacies by means of V Cramer’s, Rho Spearman’s and Pearson R. <strong><br />Results:</strong> The essential supremacies for the evolution and prognosis were identified including clinical, paraclinical aspects and some others which in a decrement order by correlations coefficient analyzed were the following: Hb &lt; 80 gr / L, glycemia &gt;12 mmol / L, time of bleeding &gt;4 seconds, SAT &lt; 80 mmHg, HR &gt;101 beats / min, creatinine &gt;200 mmol / L, platelet count &lt;100 000 / L, K+ &gt;6 mEq / L and the levels of PH &lt; 7.15, all of them at the 5th day of evolution, and the multiple organic dysfunction. <br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> To evaluate important clinical, paraclinical and some others supremacies in a continuous form in the attention of septic patients in our intensive care units is a great help in the evolution, and the establishment of the prognosis in our patient making such an inference by measures made at the 5th day of the assessment. <br />
