Planificación de clases basada en el Inglés para propósitos específicos (ESP)

This is a work developed in Formative Researching prepared by students of Eighth Semester of Pedagogy of National and Foreign Languages with the objective of constructing lessons plans through the application of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) to guide prospective teachers how elaborate a lesson plans according ESP, three specialties such as Medicine, Tourism and Economics were chosen. In this way, planning according to ESP was approached, as opposed to general purpose language instruction, which is often based on mastery of grammar. In order to know the authors' criteria, the project was worked through qualitative approach, a bibliographic review was carried out to collect information and know the different types of lesson plans and determine which are the most efficient in this field. The result was to create lesson plans in three different areas, such as Medicine, Tourism and Economics, and use English as a foreign language according to the specialty where it is taught.Este es un trabajo desarrollado en Investigación Formativa  elaborado por  estudiantes de Octavo Semestre de la Carrera Pedagogía de los Idiomas Nacionales y Extranjeros con el objetivo de elaborar planificaciones a través de la aplicación del Inglés para Propósitos Específicos (ESP), para guiar a los futuros profesores como elaborarlas, se escogió tres especialidades como Medicina, Turismo y Economía.  De esta forma se enfocó la planificación de acuerdo a  ESP, a diferencia de la enseñanza de idiomas con fines generales, que a menudo se basa en el manejo de la gramática.  Para conocer el criterio de autores el proyecto se trabajó a través del enfoque cualitativo,  se realizó la revisión bibliográfica para recopilar información y conocer los diferentes tipos de planes de clase y determinar cuáles son los más eficientes en este campo.

Effects of pre-operative isolation on postoperative pulmonary complications after elective surgery: an international prospective cohort study an international prospective cohort study

We aimed to determine the impact of pre-operative isolation on postoperative pulmonary complications after elective surgery during the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We performed an international prospective cohort study including patients undergoing elective surgery in October 2020. Isolation was defined as the period before surgery during which patients did not leave their house or receive visitors from outside their household. The primary outcome was postoperative pulmonary complications, adjusted in multivariable models for measured confounders. Pre-defined sub-group analyses were performed for the primary outcome. A total of 96,454 patients from 114 countries were included and overall, 26,948 (27.9%) patients isolated before surgery. Postoperative pulmonary complications were recorded in 1947 (2.0%) patients of which 227 (11.7%) were associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients who isolated pre-operatively were older, had more respiratory comorbidities and were more commonly from areas of high SARS-CoV-2 incidence and high-income countries. Although the overall rates of postoperative pulmonary complications were similar in those that isolated and those that did not (2.1% vs 2.0%, respectively), isolation was associated with higher rates of postoperative pulmonary complications after adjustment (adjusted OR 1.20, 95%CI 1.05–1.36, p = 0.005). Sensitivity analyses revealed no further differences when patients were categorised by: pre-operative testing; use of COVID-19-free pathways; or community SARS-CoV-2 prevalence. The rate of postoperative pulmonary complications increased with periods of isolation longer than 3 days, with an OR (95%CI) at 4–7 days or ≥ 8 days of 1.25 (1.04–1.48), p = 0.015 and 1.31 (1.11–1.55), p = 0.001, respectively. Isolation before elective surgery might be associated with a small but clinically important increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. Longer periods of isolation showed no reduction in the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. These findings have significant implications for global provision of elective surgical care.
