Hospital post attention of patients with vascular brain accident in primary health care

Abstract

Introduction: The constant development of local strategies for
prevention, promotion, curative and rehabilitation actions for people
with Vascular Brain Accident, can reduce lethality, disability and
complications.
Objective: to develop an Integral Intervention Plan for the posthospital care of patients with Vascular Brain Accident in a Chilean
Family Health Center. METHODS: to design the plan it was
necessary to develop a situational diagnosis, identify the risk factors,
and characterize the population during the period 2009-2013. Next,
along with managers, technical referents and cardiovascular health
team, the education, care and treatment strategies that shaped the plan
were identified.
Results: between 40% and 50% of people with Vascular Brain
Accident have sequelae that require some degree of support, which
is why the Integral Intervention Plan integrates different health
professionals, who through therapies and techniques collaborate
To achieve a functional, family and social situation as close as the
patient had before the accident. CONCLUSIONS: a comprehensive
and interdisciplinary approach from primary care allows reducing
preventable complications, supporting and integrating the patient and
his family in the treatment process, reducing the degree of disability,
optimizing functional outcomes and social reintegration.
