Objetivo: Determinar los agentes microbianos más frecuentes en pacientes de UCI con diagnóstico de sinusitis nosocomial en el Hospital de San José, período de dos años. Diseño: Estudio observacional tipo serie de casos. Materiales y métodos: Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 18 años con una estancia hospitalaria mayor a 48 horas, que desarrollaron sinusitis nosocomial de acuerdo a los criterios de los Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Uso de dos técnicas: punción y lavado de seno maxilar. Resultados: 19 pacientes que cumplen los criterios de sinusitis nosocomial. Edad promedio 55 años, predominio sexo masculino. El 94.7% tuvo sonda orogástrica, 89.5% intubación orotraqueal y 89.5% ventilación mecánica. Hubo aislamiento polimicrobiano de gram positivos, gram negativos, anaerobios y hongos. La mortalidad en UCI fue 32%. Conclusiones: Se presenta una adecuada sensibilidad al tratamiento con vancomicina y piperacilina tazobactam en esta patología. El rendimiento diagnóstico es igual al realizar lavado y punción del seno maxilar.Objetive: To determine the microbial agents on UCI patients who have beendiagnosed with nosocomial sinusitis at the San Jose Hospital, (Bogota, Colombia) in a two-year period. Design: Case series study. Materials and methods: Patients who were older than 18-year olds, with a hospitalization longer than 48 hours who developed nosocomial sinusitis, according to the criteria established by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) were included. Two techniques were employed for data collection: puncture and maxillary sinus wash. Results: 19 patients fulfill the criteria requirements for nosocomial sinusitis. Average age was 55 years old. Population mostly was composed by male individuals. 94.7% had a gastric tube intervention; 89.5% had tracheal intubation 89.5% mechanical ventilation. Polymicrobial isolation with gram positive, gram negative, anaerobic and fungi were identified. Mortality in critical care unites was 32%. Conclusions: An adequate sensitivity to treatment with vancomycin and piperacillin tazobactam was evidenced in this pathology.To perform a washing or maxillary sinus puncture had the same efficiency fordiagnosing this disease.
