    La Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, desde el año 1997, desarrolla un Programa de Salud Bucal en la ciudad de La Plata y sus alrededores, a través de la Asignatura Odontología Preventiva y Social. Esto ha permitido obtener datos estadísticos y de relevamiento de zonas, que impulsa la formulación de nuevas iniciativas en poblaciones vulnerables donde el índice de incidencia de enfermedades bucodentales, es elevado. Entendemos a la salud bucal como un valor que no debe ser considerado como un privilegio, sino como un derecho de todas las personas, reforzando el trabajo multidisciplinario de manera de que la salud recuperada, se mantenga a lo largo del tiempo, con el objetivo de disminuir las desigualdades en salud y con el propósito de brindar atención a poblaciones de difícil acceso, por este motivo, creemos que es fundamental la gestión del Trabajo Social , trabajando de forma efectiva con la comunidad, colaborando en la promoción de la salud y prevención de la enfermedad. Teniendo conocimiento de que la escuela es un espacio privilegiado y del encuentro con el otro, enfocamos nuestros esfuerzos en colaborar para modificar la realidad que se presenta.Este Proyecto surge debido a la necesidad de la Comunidad Educativa perteneciente a la Escuela Nº 45 “Manuel Rocha” del barrio El Mondongo de la Ciudad de La Plata, quienes manifiestan la carencia de información y atención de la comunidad educativa en cuanto a acciones preventivas. Este proyecto se lleva a cabo desde fines del 2019, atravesando el contexto de Pandemia por el virus causante de la enfermedad Covid-19, reacondicionando nuestras actividades.Facultad de Odontologí

    Incidence of severe critical events in paediatric anaesthesia (APRICOT): a prospective multicentre observational study in 261 hospitals in Europe

    Background Little is known about the incidence of severe critical events in children undergoing general anaesthesia in Europe. We aimed to identify the incidence, nature, and outcome of severe critical events in children undergoing anaesthesia, and the associated potential risk factors. Methods The APRICOT study was a prospective observational multicentre cohort study of children from birth to 15 years of age undergoing elective or urgent anaesthesia for diagnostic or surgical procedures. Children were eligible for inclusion during a 2-week period determined prospectively by each centre. There were 261 participating centres across 33 European countries. The primary endpoint was the occurence of perioperative severe critical events requiring immediate intervention. A severe critical event was defined as the occurrence of respiratory, cardiac, allergic, or neurological complications requiring immediate intervention and that led (or could have led) to major disability or death. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01878760. Findings Between April 1, 2014, and Jan 31, 2015, 31â127 anaesthetic procedures in 30â874 children with a mean age of 6·35 years (SD 4·50) were included. The incidence of perioperative severe critical events was 5·2% (95% CI 5·0â5·5) with an incidence of respiratory critical events of 3·1% (2·9â3·3). Cardiovascular instability occurred in 1·9% (1·7â2·1), with an immediate poor outcome in 5·4% (3·7â7·5) of these cases. The all-cause 30-day in-hospital mortality rate was 10 in 10â000. This was independent of type of anaesthesia. Age (relative risk 0·88, 95% CI 0·86â0·90; p<0·0001), medical history, and physical condition (1·60, 1·40â1·82; p<0·0001) were the major risk factors for a serious critical event. Multivariate analysis revealed evidence for the beneficial effect of years of experience of the most senior anaesthesia team member (0·99, 0·981â0·997; p<0·0048 for respiratory critical events, and 0·98, 0·97â0·99; p=0·0039 for cardiovascular critical events), rather than the type of health institution or providers. Interpretation This study highlights a relatively high rate of severe critical events during the anaesthesia management of children for surgical or diagnostic procedures in Europe, and a large variability in the practice of paediatric anaesthesia. These findings are substantial enough to warrant attention from national, regional, and specialist societies to target education of anaesthesiologists and their teams and implement strategies for quality improvement in paediatric anaesthesia.
