Abstract

Introduction: The SOFA or Sequential Organ Failure Assesment scale is a score that evaluates in a sequential and continuous way 6 different devices or systems through different markers that evaluate the dysfunction of each of them having as parameters the following; PAFI, Glasgow, Creatinine, TAM, Bilirubin and Platelets. Each one is evaluated from a value of 0 to 4 which will report in the end the presence or not of organic failure if it only occurs in 1 device or system, and in turn multiorgan failure when it occurs in two or more of the Parameters mentioned above. Rationale: The SOFA scale has been used sporadically in several health institutions in the country, but in the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital it has not been commonly used in critical care areas. This study aims to promote the protocolized use of this type of scales in the different areas of critical care. It is important to emphasize that during the sample making it was evident the interest that promoted the use of this scale in the areas where it was used, so that the results of this study will be available to them for their knowledge and discussion. This research allows the development of behavior in the management of critical area, contributing with the contribution to the community that enters the units. In order to reduce the morbimortality rate, obtaining a positive impact in daily living of the critical units. Objectives: To demonstrate the utility of the SOFA scale in patients with sepsis in the critical care area of the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital. Methodology: Type of study: Descriptive, prospective, observational. Sample size of 100 patients entering the Critical Areas of the Regional
