ABSTRACTObjective: identifying the nursing diagnoses of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Method: descriptive research, with a qualitative approach and a field research style, carried out in 2010 in a general hospital of Nova Iguacu, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The technique of documental analysis was used to investigate the medical records within the period from 2005 to 2010. The study was submitted to the Research Ethics Committee of the general hospital of Nova Iguacu, Rio de Janeiro, obtaining authorization CAAE – 0017.0.316.000-10. The content analysis proposed by Bardin was used to analyze the data collected. Information on the nursing evolution, emphasizing physical examination, was obtained. Findings: the most frequent data were: paresthesia, decrease in muscular strength, dyspnea, paresis, and dysphagia, and the nursing diagnoses identified were: impaired sensorial perception, impaired physical mobility, impaired deambulation, impaired deglutition, and fatigue. Conclusion: the nurse, through a careful physical examination, is able to identify the possible nursing diagnoses of GBS, decreasing the damages to the Brazilian Unified Healthcare System (SUS) users’ health. Descriptors: nursing diagnosis; Guillain-Barré syndrome; nursing.RESUMOObjetivo: identificar os diagnósticos de enfermagem para a Síndrome de Guillain-Barré (SGB).

Background: Guillain-Barré Syndrome is a progressive autoimmune polyradiculoneuropathy characterized by symmetrical flaccid paralysis accompanied by areflexia, hyporeflexia or hyperreflexia on rare occasions. Worldwide, it remains the first cause of flaccid paralysis. It is usually associated with infectious disease history; however, there are various clinical variants, each with a different outcome. Prognosis is usually good, although 20% of patients could suffer a severe clinical variant of Guillain-Barré Syndrome and 5% will die despite treatment. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, including the records of hospitalized patients with Guillain- Barré Syndrome at Mexicali’s General Hospital within a five-year period. Results: In a five-year span there were 64 patients with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, most of the patients were men (70.3%), with age ranging 1 to 76 years. A total of 8 (12.5%) patients died, from which 7 (87.5%) required mechanical ventilation during hospitalization. Immunoglobulin therapy was provided to 56 (87.5%) patients, and 6 (10.7%) of them perished due to acute kidney injury. Conclusion: Guillain-Barré Syndrome is a common disease among male population, with no dominating onset age, however, leaning for the young and elder. Most of the patients that were hospitalized at the General Hospital of Mexicali had a history of previous infection (gastrointestinal, respiratory, or other infectious diseases). The need for mechanical ventilation represents a higher severity index, nonetheless, this does not mean that assisted ventilation is directly associated with mortality. As for treatment, immunoglobulin is the most common choice for therapy, though some of the patients died from acute kidney injury.

Health outcome assessment of expensive drugs eg. IVIG which is the treatment of choice for various immune-mediated diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system is essential in the efficient management of limited funds of government hospitals. The objective of this pilot prospective medical record review is to determine the clinical outcome of neurologic patients given free IVIG through the Department of Health Medical Assistance Fund Program (DOH-MAFP) to assist indigent patients in their medical needs from 01 January30 June 2019 at the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH). A total of 70 patients received IVIG for various illnesses; only 7 were for neurologic indications namely Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Myasthenia Gravis, anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. Majority of free IVIG beneficiaries were female, of pediatric age group and classified by the medical social service (MSS) as class D. The average amount spent is Php 163,592.72 for all the diseases and the overall average hospital stay=21.14 days. However, patients with Guillain-Barre Syndrome had an average hospital stay of 6.5 days which is the shortest recorded. In conclusion, all patients given free IVIG are discharged improved whether it is used as a primary or definitive treatment or as an adjunct therapy with no mortality or hospital complication. The accrued costs of treatment is lower compared to other studies. It is therefore recommended to continue the free provision of IVIG from DOH-MAFP to indigent PGH patients and sustain monitoring of clinical outcomes of future utilization of free IVIG.
