Artrocentesis en el servicio de emergencias

Abstract

La artrocentesis consiste en puncionar una articulación con la finalidad de extraer líquido intraarticular, ya sea con fines diagnósticos o terapéuticos. Generalmente, no todas las personas que se presentan al servicio de emergencias con características de tumefacción, dolor e impotencia funcional de una articulación ameritan una artrocentesis, por lo que se ha vuelto imprescindible identificar los casos en que sí se amerita la realización en el servicio de emergencias. Se ha demostrado que con una técnica adecuada y bajo las correctas medidas asépticas puede ser una práctica segura, sin embargo, no se considera un procedimiento inofensivo del todo. La complicación más temida es la inoculación de bacterias, que puede generar una artritis séptica, así como otras complicaciones no infecciosas como ruptura de tendón, atrofia nerviosa, cambios cutáneos o hasta osteonecrosis. Actualmente, se ha implementado la infiltración intraarticular de sustancias, como glucocorticoides, como medida terapéutica por el aumento en enfermedades degenerativas que comprometen las articulaciones, especialmente articulaciones grandes, como es el caso de la rodilla o cadera. Ya que las indicaciones de artrocentesis no son del todo claras, se exponen en la presente revisión bibliográfica algunos aspectos importantes a considerar a la hora de decidir si es conveniente realizar o no una artrocentesis en el servicio de emergencias.
