Article Synopsis
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs in patients with severe snakebite envenomation, as highlighted by a study in Benin, which aimed to analyze its clinical and biological effects.
- In a study of 51 patients, 31% developed AKI, with severe cases observed, and kidney ultrasounds revealed various injuries, although most patients recovered without long-term effects.
- The findings emphasize that while AKI can be serious, particularly in conjunction with inflammatory responses and bleeding, timely treatment typically leads to recovery, despite a notable mortality rate within the AKI group.
Objective: To determine the prognosis value of two generalgraveness' scores in patients admitted to intensive care at University Hospital of Parakou in Northern Benin.
Patients And Methods: Descriptive and analytical observational study data were collected from March 1 to June 30, 2017. The SAPS II and APACHE II were calculated during first 24 hours of hospitalization to assess the clinical graveness and predict patient's mortality.
Belgium has been collaborating for 20 years with Abomey-Calavi University in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, to train anesthesiologists for Sub-Saharan, French-speaking African countries. With 123 graduates from 15 countries and 46 residents still in training, this program has succeeded in reversing the trend of a decreasing anesthesiology workforce in those countries, thus improving the quality of anesthesia and patient safety. Belgian government sources, as well as hospitals and anesthesia teams, provided most of the financial resources.
