Resumen

Introducción

La bolsa de Bogotá es uno de los dispositivos que se han descrito para el cierre temporal del abdomen. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido describir nuestra experiencia con la técnica de la bolsa de Bogotá.

Material y método

Analizamos retrospectivamente nuestra experiencia entre enero de 2000 y marzo de 2006. Se aplicó estadística descriptiva con cálculo de porcentajes y medias.

Resultados

En un total de 12 pacientes se empleó la bolsa de Bogotá. En 11 (91,66%) se colocó de forma preventiva por presentar riesgos de hipertensión intraabdominal y síndrome compartimental abdominal. En un paciente (8,34%) la descompresión con bolsa de Bogotá se realizó una vez el síndrome compartimental se había instaurado. No hemos tenido ninguna complicación en relación con la colocación ni la retirada de la bolsa de Bogotá. En ningún caso aparecieron fístulas intestinales ni colecciones infectadas intraabdominales. La estancia media hospitalaria fue de 46,33 días y en la unidad de cuidados intensivos, de 16,58 días. En la actualidad 7/12 (58,34%) han fallecido y 5/12 (41,66%) viven.

Conclusiones

La bolsa de Bogotá para el open abdomen en nuestra serie ha sido un método útil para evitar o tratar el síndrome compartimental abdominal. La gran mortalidad descrita viene dada por el proceso inicial que presentan los pacientes y no por las complicaciones derivadas de la colocación de la bolsa de Bogotá.

Introduction

The Bogota bag technique is a reliable method for open abdominal closure. The aim of this study was to describe our experience with this technique.

Material and method

We retrospectively evaluated our experience with the Bogota Bag technique between January 2000 and March 2006. Descriptive statistical techniques were applied and percentages and means were calculated.

Results

The Bogota bag technique was applied in 12 patients. The technique was the preferred closure system to prevent abdominal compartment syndrome in 11 patients (91.66%) and was required to treat abdominal compartment syndrome in one patient (8.34%).

No complications occurred in relation to placement or withdrawal of the Bogota bag. There were no intestinal fistulas or intra-abdominal abscesses. The mean length of hospital stay was 46.33 days and the mean length of stay in the intensive care unit was 16.58 days. The survival rate was 41.66%.

Conclusions

In our experience, the Bogota bag is a useful technique and is the preferred closure system to prevent or treat abdominal compartment syndrome. The high mortality rates described are due to the underlying diseases leading to open abdominal closure and not directly to the Bogota bag technique itself.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Ongoing hemodynamic instability requiring multiple pressor agents, a large amount of intravenous fluids (24 liters of crystalloid), and a coagulopathy with massive transfusion requirements (48 units of packed red blood cells, 2 liters of salvaged blood, 12 units of fresh frozen plasma, and three 8-pack units of platelets), precluded definitive vascular reconstruction. The chest and abdomen were closed with intravenous bag closure.1 Due to the destructive extent of the femoral artery injury, we elected to place a temporary shunt for continued distal perfusion.
