Cuidados Paliativos. Nuevo Código civil y comercial

-Por la Dra. Lida Sanmartín-

«ARTÍCULO 59.- Consentimiento informado para actos médicos e investigaciones en salud. El consentimiento informado para actos médicos e investigaciones en salud es la declaración de voluntad expresada por el paciente, emitida luego de recibir información clara, precisa y adecuada, respecto a:

Inc. «A» su estado de salud[…]

Inc. «H» :»el derecho a recibir cuidados paliativos integrales en el proceso de atención de su enfermedad o padecimiento.»

Definir los cuidados paliativos es complejo, pues se trata de cuidados integrales que no pretenden alargar la vida o evitar la muerte, sino que a nuestro entender plantean un tránsito digno en ese devenir natural. Según el Instituto Nacional del Cáncer, dependiente del Ministerio de Salud de la Nación «son los cuidados que los equipos de salud brindan a las personas afectadas por enfermedades crónicas, avanzadas o progresivas  como el cáncer u otras (patologías neurodegenerativas, insuficiencia renal, etc.), que están destinados a garantizar el alivio del dolor y del sufrimiento y una  digna calidad de vida.»

            El legislador -en este tema- vuelve a tomar posiciones esgrimidas en el plano internacional y con base en el andamiaje normativo local existente incorpora los cuidados paliativos con total correspondencia a lo establecido en el art. 5 la ley de Derechos de los Pacientes. Es de notar que la ley 26742 al modificar la LDP incorpora respecto de la autonomía de la voluntad, en el artículo 2° inc. «e» párrafo final: «En todos los casos la negativa o el rechazo de los procedimientos mencionados no significarán la interrupción de aquellas medidas y acciones para el adecuado control y alivio del sufrimiento del paciente».

            Reforzando esta posición el Art 11. del decreto reglamentario 1089/2012 dice: «ante el rechazo de tratamiento por parte del paciente mediante Directivas Anticipadas se encuentre en estadios irreversible, incurable o terminal, en cuyo caso el profesional interviniente mantendrá los cuidados paliativos tendientes a evitar el sufrimiento. En este supuesto, se entiende por cuidado paliativo la atención multidisciplinaria del enfermo terminal destinada a garantizar higiene y confort, incluyendo procedimientos farmacológicos o de otro tipo para el control del dolor y el sufrimientoEmerge evidente el carácter humanitario y el reconocimiento de la dignidad humana.

            De acuerdo a la definición brindada por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS 2002), se amplía el concepto:»Cuidados Paliativos es una estrategia que permite aumentar la calidad de vida de los pacientes y de sus familias asistiendo las enfermedades que amenazan la vida, a través de la prevención y alivio del sufrimiento por medio de una temprana e impecable valoración y tratamiento del dolor y de otros problemas, físicos, sicosociales y espirituales».

            La realidad es que respecto de estos cuidados, no hay reglamentación concreta y si fragmentaciones en lo que refiere a su financiamiento: quién y hasta donde se hará cargo de la cobertura.

Hoy nuestro país lo reconoce como un derecho, incluso como una sub disciplina dentro de la temática de salud, pero no cuenta a nivel general con una norma específica que lo reglamente, pues en 2012 con el número de trámite (S-3873/10) la Cámara de Senadores de la Nación aprobó el proyecto de ley “Plan Nacional de Cuidados Paliativos” cuyo objeto era la implementación de un Sistema Nacional, pero esta idea no prosperó y en la actualidad ha perdido estado parlamentario.

            Tampoco podemos desconocer que en nuestro aglomerado normativo es un derecho contemplado, tal como advertimos al inicio de este punto, lo regla específicamente en el artículo 5° y en el artículo 2° párrafo final del inc. «E» de la ley 26529 modificada por la ley 26742, también en el Programa Médico Obligatorio ampliado del año 2002 incluyéndolo en las prestaciones básicas esenciales donde se acentúa que se torna prioritario desarrollar proyectos que admitan “el derecho a una muerte digna, buscando la desinstitucionalización de estos pacientes cuando sea posible”.

            Es importante – por qué no plausible y alentador- que hoy sea norma positiva, de alcance nacional, dado que la temática es sensible socialmente y no podría ser desconocida por lo trascendente de la tarea que realizan, si consideramos que los cuidados paliativos significan la atención integral de las personas en su realidad total: biológica, psicosocial y espiritual; en todas las fases de la enfermedad a partir la prevención y el diagnóstico, el tratamiento e incluyendo aquellos cuidados del final de la vida. Los objetivos de esta perspectiva son: el bienestar de los pacientes, aliviar sus dolencias y los efectos adversos de los tratamientos, los problemas psicológicos, sociales y espirituales que soportan. Sin embargo su mirada y abordaje no concluye allí sino que se encamina a las vivencias de sus familiares y cuidadores.

            Tal es así que organizaciones internacionales como: la Asociación Europea de Cuidados Paliativos (EAPC), la Asociación Internacional de Cuidados Paliativos (IAHPC), la Alianza Mundial de Cuidados Paliativos (WPCA) y el Observatorio de Derechos Humanos (ODH) han elaborado un documento conocido como la Carta de Praga en la cual urgen a los gobiernos a aliviar el sufrimiento de sus enfermos terminales y a reconocer los Cuidados Paliativos como un derecho humano, expresando que “los Cuidados Paliativos son un abordaje que mejora la calidad de vida de pacientes y familiares que padecen problemas asociados con enfermedades que amenazan la vida, a través de la prevención y alivio del sufrimiento, por medio de la identificación precoz, evaluación de excelencia y el tratamiento del dolor y otros problemas, físicos, psicosociales y espirituales.”

Clicking on one particular of people will middle upon that item, and an additional established of «neighbors» will appear into perspective, permitting you toward navigate near investigating via equivalent artists, new music, or end users.

  12. Apple at present includes Rhapsody as an app, which is a Good begin, however it is by now hampered by means of the inability to shop domestically upon your iPod, and contains a dismal 64kbps little bit rate. If this alterations, then it will rather negate this benefit for the Zune, but the Ten songs for every month will still be a large in addition in just Zune Pass’ desire.

  13. Thanks a bunch for this superb article! I actually liked finding out about it.I’ll be sure to take note of your site and definitely will return from now on.

I am going to devices this examine in the direction of 2 types of individuals: present-day Zune house owners who are considering an enhance, and people today trying in the direction of make a decision in between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players relevance contemplating out there, which include the Sony Walkman X, still I be expecting this provides your self sufficient data towards crank out an conscious decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as properly.)

  18. The clean Zune browser is remarkably beneficial, yet not as very good as the iPod’s. It will work nicely, nonetheless isn’t as prompt as Safari, and includes a clunkier interface. If yourself often plan on making use of the world wide web browser that is not an issue, yet if you’re creating in direction of study the website alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and superior browser could possibly be vital.

  19. This is getting a little bit further more subjective, however I significantly like the Zune Current market. The interface is colorful, is made up of added aptitude, and some interesting functions including ‘Mixview’ that enable yourself all of a sudden view related albums, audio, or other end users similar to what you happen to be listening to. Clicking upon a person of individuals will centre on that product, and a further established of «neighbors» will arrive into opinion, making it possible for your self toward navigate in the vicinity of investigating by way of equivalent artists, music, or people. Conversing of customers, the Zune «Social» is too outstanding pleasurable, allowing you obtain other folks with shared preferences and starting to be good friends with them. On your own then can hear in direction of a playlist constructed based mostly upon an amalgamation of what all your buddies are listening in direction of, which is moreover thrilling.

(There are other players relevance considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I assume this features yourself more than enough information towards produce an mindful preference of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

  22. Apple presently includes Rhapsody as an app, which is a excellent start off, nonetheless it is already hampered by way of the inability in direction of store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit value. If this adjustments, then it will relatively negate this convenience for the Zune, nonetheless the 10 music per month will nevertheless be a huge furthermore inside Zune Pass’ favor.

  23. Among me and my husband we’ve owned excess MP3 avid gamers above the yrs than I can rely, which includes Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the previous handful of years I have fixed down towards one line of players. Why? Mainly because I was delighted in direction of explore how well-designed and pleasurable in the direction of use the underappreciated (and extensively mocked) Zunes are.

  24. Hi, I am really excited I found your blog, I basically encountered you by error, when I was researching on Bing for best Ethereum wallet.

  26. The Zune concentrates on getting a Transportable Media Player. Not a internet browser. Not a game machine. Possibly inside the long term it’s going to do even greater within people areas, still for at this time it can be a fantastic direction in the direction of arrange and hear toward your music and flicks, and is devoid of peer inside of that regard. The iPod’s pros are its web visiting and programs. If individuals stable excess persuasive, quite possibly it is your ideal selection.

  27. If you’re continue to upon the fence: grab your favorite earphones, mind down in the direction of a Simplest Order and question to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one seems superior in the direction of on your own, and which interface generates by yourself smile further. Then you are going to recognize which is directly for your self.

  28. Arms down, Apple’s application store wins by a mile. It is a enormous selection of all styles of applications vs a fairly unhappy quantity of a handful for Zune. Microsoft incorporates Ideas, specially within the realm of video games, yet I’m not absolutely sure I might will need in direction of guess on the long term if this feature is important toward on your own. The iPod is a a lot far better final decision within just that case.

  29. Good post. I understand something a lot more difficult on distinctive blogs everyday.

  34. Zune and iPod: Optimum people assess the Zune in direction of the Touch, however when observing how skinny and incredibly very low and light it is, I check out it to be a quite special hybrid that brings together characteristics of each the Touch and the Nano. It is Really colourful and stunning OLED display is somewhat more compact than the contact screen, but the player alone feels fairly a bit scaled-down and lighter. It weighs pertaining to 2/3 as considerably, and is significantly scaled-down in width and height, even though getting merely a hair thicker.
