OSA & COPD PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Establish an econometric probability model to serve as a complementary tool to support the diagnostic test of respiratory polygraphy to predict the probability that a patient has to suffer OSASMETHODS: It seeks to establish a Logit regression probability model with an explained variable Apnea and eight independent variables. We have performed a retrospective study in which we analyzed the different variables of 600 patients who have been subjected of a polygraphy diagnostic test. The eight apnea explanatory variables used in the study are: BMI, Epworth Scale, Snoring, Objectified Apnea pauses, Alcohol, Associated Othorhinolaryngology Pathologies, Gender and Age. Once all the data have been taken from the patients, were statistically analyzed and verified the significance of each variable in the regression model ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Antonio Jesus Dueñas Fuentes, Ana Mochón Doña, Ana Milagrosa Escribano Dueñas, Juan Antonio Piña Fernandez, Diego Gachet PaezNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.

Critical Care Posters IIISESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Previous studies have demonstrated that elderly patients over the age of 65 have decreased anesthetic requirements due to age related pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes. It was our impression that currently, anesthetic dosages are rarely corrected for age. We hypothesize that in our institution, anesthetics being given to patients undergoing general anesthesia are not rigorously corrected for age, thus leading to potential overdosing. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Joseph Heng, Shamsuddin AkhtarNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.

Lung Cancer Posters IISESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (PM) is a rare tumor, with a 1.2/100.000/year incidence in Portugal. It is related to environment and professional exposure to asbestos, with a latency period varying between 20 and 30 years. It is a locally aggressive advanced tumor associated with bad prognosis. Aims: Describe demographic data, environmental exposure, histological and therapeutic aspects and survival rates of malignant PM in stage III and IV. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Ines Sanches, Cláudia Lares dos Santos, Ana Figueiredo, Fernando BarataNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
