Abstract

Background: Assessing clinical progression and CD4+ level were important in determining the efficacy of antiretroviral (ARV) and switching to other regimens, especially when viral-load data were not available. This research aims to assess combination of zidovudine-lamivudine-nevirapine (Co-ZLN) failure using WHO 2010 criteria on clinical failure (CF) and immunological failure (IF), single or together, to determine correlation between CF and IF; and to evaluate two failure categories (CF alone and combination of CF-IF) in making decision to switch to second-line of ARV. Methods: Children at Sanglah General Hospital, who gain initial treatment of Co-ZLN in period of March 2006–March 2013 were selected. Cross sectional study was applied. The ARV response was assessed twice. First period (P1) and second period (P2) of evaluation were conducted after patients received the Co-ZLN at least 6 and 12 months. Results: Forty five patients were included in this study. After at least 6 and 12 months of therapy, more patients showed IF (10 and 9 children in P1 and P2) than those in CF (4 and 2 patients in P1 and P2). Only one child met to CF-IF category in P2. The low clinical condition (HIV stage 4) did not always associate with deteriorating immunologic marker in the treatment-failure (TF). The patients who fit on CF and CF-IF based decision to switch regimen criteria were different. In resource-limited hospital, CF-IF based decision could give a better picture of patients’ condition and be used as an indicator to assess TF compared to single CF criteria.

Abstract

Abstrak Prevalensi diabetes tergantung insulin (Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus-IDDMM) tertinggi di Eropa bagian utara yaitu Negara Skandinavia. Di Finland insiden tersebut sekitar 1-2 dari 100.000/ tahun. Di Indonesia, prevalensi IDDM secara pasti belum diketahui. IDDM dengan Ketoasidosis merupakan kondisi kadar gula darah yang tinggi dan kadar insulin yang rendah atau tidak ada. Tubuh mulai menggunakan lemak sebagai sumber energy yang akan menghasilkan keton dan berakibat asidosis. Seorang pasien anak perempuan, umur 12 tahun, berat badan 33 kg datang ke RSU FK UKI dengan keluhan utama sesak nafas dan keluhan tambahan sakit perut, mual, dan muntah. Pasien pernah mengalami keluhan seperti ini sekitar dua tahun yang lalu dengan diagnosis diabetes ketoasidosis. Pada pemeriksaan fisik didapatkan keadaan umum tampak sakit berat, kesadaran somnolen, frekuensi pernafasan 54x/menit, terdapat retraksi suprasternal, interkosta, dan epigastrium. Hasil pemeriksaan laboratorium ; kadar gula darah sewaktu 363 mgdl, urin lengkap didapatkan protein (+)2, reduksi (+)2, aseton (+3), analisis gas darah Ph 6,847, pCO2 5,2mmHg, base excess -29,4 mmol/L dan buffer base 18,5mmol/L. Pada pasien ini dilakukan koreksi terhadap cairan elektrolit, status asam basa dan pemberian insulin. Setelah perawatan selama ± 14 hari keadaan pasien membaik. Pasien kemudian dirujuk ke RSCM sub bagian endokrinologi untuk mendapatkan terapi insulin lebih lanjut. Dengan diagnosis yang cepat dan tepat, serta penanganan yang tepat dapat mengurangi resiko edema serebri bahkan kematian. Kata Kunci : IDDM dengan ketoasidosis, insulin, tatalaksana Abstract The highest IDDM incidence is in Scandinavia, North Europe. In Indonesia, the IDDM incidence has not been investigated yet. However, it is omit that the prevalence is very rare. Ketoacidosis is a probem due to the low insulin concentration which cause high blood glucose level. The body start use lipid as the energy source which could produce keton that might cause acidosis. A 12 years old girl was admitted to FK UKI Hospital with diabetic ketoacidosis. She has the same problem two years ago, diagnosed as diabetic ketoacidosis patient. She looks weak, dyspneic, with suprasternal, intercostals and epigastrium retraction. The Laboratory results are blood glucose 363 mg/dL, urine analysis shown protein (+)2, reduction (+)2, aseton (+)2, and the blood gas analysis shown pH 6, pCO2 5,2mmHg, base excess -29,4 mmol/L and buffer base 18,5 mmol/L. Rehydration and electrolyte correction had been applied, Furthermore, insulin also had been given to her. After 14 days of treatment, an improvement shown, Then she was forwarded to the sub division of endocrinology of the RSCM hospital for further treatment.

The articles were critically reviewed and analized to answer this study’s aim. Result The critically review of the articles were categorized in themes: 1) application of Tanner’s clinical judgment model in ICU, 2) Types of decisions in ICU, 3) Theoretical approach: implementation of decision-making in ICU, 4) Case illustration of decision-making scheme in ICU, 5) Influencing factors of decision-making in ICU, 6) Supporting tools for clinical decision-making in ICU, 7) Understanding of attributes and concepts may enhance the quality of the clinical decision-making process in ICU, 8) Implications for nursing education and practice of understanding clinical decision making in ICU. Conclusions Critical care nurses usually combine different techniques in making decisions; analytical methods including the hypothetic-deductive method, pattern recognition, intuition, narrative thinking, and decision analysis theory are potentially applied. Clinical decision activities in ICU appear in many clinical situations, such as intervention decisions, communication decisions, and evaluation decisions. There are several factors influencing clinical decision-making in intensive care units, including nurses’ experience, the patient’s situation, the layout of the ICU, shift work, inter-professional collaboration practice, physical and personnel resources.
