El presente proyecto de titulación tiene como base objetiva elaborar una propuesta de modelo de gestión turística para la parroquia Molleturo, cantón Cuenca. El tema plantea un análisis situacional en el ámbito territorial y turístico de la parroquia, cuya finalidad fue establecer parámetros para la planificación turística de desarrollo del territorio, guián dose en la gestión y de esta forma se promueva la economía del sector. El elemento característico de esta propuesta es la aplicación del modelo de gestión basado en los criterios de Ritchie y Crouch ( los cuales fundamentan la competitividad turístic a y económica del destino, basados en brindar experiencias de calidad tanto para el visitante como para la población local. Principalmente se ejecutó un diagnóstico turístico situacional del territorio en la parroquia donde se estudió los ámbitos ambiental, social, cultural, económico y político de la parroquia, siguiente se elaboró un análisis de gestión del sistema turístico actual y potencial de Molleturo, finalizando con el modelo de gestión turística entre la comunidad y el gobierno autónomo d escentralizado parroquial basado en los autores mencionados, fundamentada en la competitividad para el destino a largo plazo. Palabras clave: modelo de gestión, parroquia Molleturo, competitividad, destino, recursoThe objective of this degree project is to develop a proposal for a tourism management model for the Molleturo parish, Cuenca canton. The theme raises a situational analysis in the territorial and tourist area of the parish, whose purpose was to establish parameters for tourism planning for the development of the territory, guided by the management and thus promoting the economy of the sector. The characteristic element of this proposal is the application of the management model based on the criteria of Ritchie and Crouch ( which support the tourist and economic competitiveness of the destination, based on providing quality experiences for both the visitor and the local population. Mainly a situational tourist diagnosis of the territory in the parish was executed where the environmental, social, cultural, economic and political areas of the parish were studied, following was an analysis of management of the current and potential tourism system of Molleturo, ending with the model of tourism management between the community an d the autonomous decentralized parish government based on the aforementioned authors, based on competitiveness for the long term destination.

Mortality and pulmonary complications in patients undergoing surgery with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection: an international cohort study

Background: The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on postoperative recovery needs to be understood to inform clinical decision making during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study reports 30-day mortality and pulmonary complication rates in patients with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: This international, multicentre, cohort study at 235 hospitals in 24 countries included all patients undergoing surgery who had SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed within 7 days before or 30 days after surgery. The primary outcome measure was 30-day postoperative mortality and was assessed in all enrolled patients. The main secondary outcome measure was pulmonary complications, defined as pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or unexpected postoperative ventilation. Findings: This analysis includes 1128 patients who had surgery between Jan 1 and March 31, 2020, of whom 835 (74·0%) had emergency surgery and 280 (24·8%) had elective surgery. SARS-CoV-2 infection was confirmed preoperatively in 294 (26·1%) patients. 30-day mortality was 23·8% (268 of 1128). Pulmonary complications occurred in 577 (51·2%) of 1128 patients; 30-day mortality in these patients was 38·0% (219 of 577), accounting for 81·7% (219 of 268) of all deaths. In adjusted analyses, 30-day mortality was associated with male sex (odds ratio 1·75 [95% CI 1·28–2·40], p\textless0·0001), age 70 years or older versus younger than 70 years (2·30 [1·65–3·22], p\textless0·0001), American Society of Anesthesiologists grades 3–5 versus grades 1–2 (2·35 [1·57–3·53], p\textless0·0001), malignant versus benign or obstetric diagnosis (1·55 [1·01–2·39], p=0·046), emergency versus elective surgery (1·67 [1·06–2·63], p=0·026), and major versus minor surgery (1·52 [1·01–2·31], p=0·047). Interpretation: Postoperative pulmonary complications occur in half of patients with perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection and are associated with high mortality. Thresholds for surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic should be higher than during normal practice, particularly in men aged 70 years and older. Consideration should be given for postponing non-urgent procedures and promoting non-operative treatment to delay or avoid the need for surgery.

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat
