Modelo Conceptual
Descripción
Modelo D10 - Monitoreo metabólico y térmico: glucometría, temperatura, diuresis
El modelo conceptual busca comprender los mecanismos que dan origen a un comportamiento, y describirlos de la forma más simple posible. Para eso, el comportamiento se segmenta en temas (grupos): cada uno identifica los objetos o variables que participan —tanto en su funcionamiento normal como en sus posibles anomalías o desviaciones— y describe, mediante verbos, la forma en que esos objetos interactúan entre sí. El resultado es lo que llamamos una red semántica: la estructura con la que representamos y comunicamos el modelo conceptual, antes de introducir ecuación alguna.

Estructura de los Grupos
Descripción
El primer paso consiste en analizar la descripción general del modelo e identificar los distintos aspectos que intervienen en el fenómeno y que deben ser representados. Cada uno de estos aspectos se organiza como un grupo, entendido como una unidad conceptual coherente que describe una parte específica del funcionamiento del modelo.
Cada grupo reúne los objetos o conceptos relevantes para ese aspecto y las relaciones o verbos que describen cómo interactúan, se modifican o dependen unos de otros. De esta manera, cada grupo constituye una parte de la red semántica del modelo, mientras que el conjunto de los grupos permite representar de forma estructurada su funcionamiento global.
La división en grupos facilita además separar mecanismos, condiciones, procesos y resultados que cumplen funciones diferentes dentro del modelo, manteniendo al mismo tiempo las relaciones que existen entre ellos. Los grupos no son, por tanto, componentes aislados: pueden compartir conceptos y establecer relaciones entre sí, formando conjuntamente una única representación semántica del fenómeno.
La imagen anterior ofrece una visión general de los distintos aspectos en que se ha estructurado el modelo. A continuación se presentan los grupos identificados, indicando para cada uno su título y una breve descripción del aspecto del modelo que representa.
Grupo 1: Grupo 1: Glucose sensing and closed-loop control
Continuous glucose monitoring samples interstitial rather than blood glucose, so the sensed concentration follows blood glucose with a diffusion delay of roughly 5–15 minutes. A closed-loop controller uses the recent glucose trajectory to adjust insulin delivery and keep glycemia within 3.9–10 mmol/L; safety depends on sensor error remaining below about 10%.
Grupo 2: Grupo 2: Core temperature and peripheral thermal gradient
Core temperature reflects thermoregulatory state: values above 38.3 °C indicate active inflammation, whereas values below 36 °C in sepsis indicate severe thermoregulatory failure. The core-to-skin temperature difference grows with peripheral vasoconstriction; a gradient above 7 °C predicts low cardiac output, particularly after cardiac surgery.
Grupo 3: Grupo 3: Hourly urine output and renal perfusion
Hourly urine output responds rapidly to renal perfusion. Output sustained below 0.5 mL/kg/h for more than two consecutive hours defines insufficient urine production and contributes to the diagnosis of acute kidney injury.
Grupo 4: Grupo 4: Fractional excretion and origin of renal dysfunction
Fractional sodium excretion distinguishes preserved renal sodium retention during low circulating volume from established renal injury: values below 1% indicate active sodium conservation, whereas higher values indicate impaired retention. Diuretics directly disturb sodium handling, so fractional urea excretion is the more reliable analogue in patients receiving them.
Grupo 5: Grupo 5: Cumulative fluid balance and insensible losses
Cumulative fluid balance increases with administered fluids and decreases with measured and insensible losses. Basal insensible water loss is about 500–800 mL/day and rises by about 100–150 mL/day for each degree of fever; a cumulative positive balance above 10 L during the first week is associated with greater mortality and more ventilator days.
Grupo 6: Grupo 6: Integrated metabolic, circulatory and renal surveillance
Critical-care monitoring combines glucose regulation, thermal state, peripheral perfusion, urine output, fractional excretion and fluid balance to anticipate deterioration hour by hour. The combined observations support early detection of dangerous glycemia, low cardiac output, renal hypoperfusion versus established renal injury, and fluid overload; after initial sepsis resuscitation, a moderately negative balance is associated with better renal prognosis.

Grupo 1: Grupo 1: Glucose sensing and closed-loop control
Descripción
Continuous glucose monitoring samples interstitial rather than blood glucose, so the sensed concentration follows blood glucose with a diffusion delay of roughly 5–15 minutes. A closed-loop controller uses the recent glucose trajectory to adjust insulin delivery and keep glycemia within 3.9–10 mmol/L; safety depends on sensor error remaining below about 10%.
Pregunta clave: How does interstitial sensing feed automatic insulin control of blood glucose?
Continuous glucose monitoring samples interstitial rather than blood glucose, so the sensed concentration follows blood glucose with a diffusion delay of roughly 5–15 minutes. A closed-loop controller uses the recent glucose trajectory to adjust insulin delivery and keep glycemia within 3.9–10 mmol/L; safety depends on sensor error remaining below about 10%. Para que este sistema de circuito cerrado sea seguro, el sensor que lo alimenta tiene que ser suficientemente preciso, con un error promedio respecto a la glucosa real en sangre por debajo de un diez por ciento; un sensor menos preciso que eso puede hacer que el sistema administre una dosis de insulina equivocada basándose en una lectura que no refleja la glucosa real del paciente. Combinando este sensor continuo con una bomba que administra insulina de forma automática y un algoritmo que decide, en cada momento, cuánta insulina infundir según la trayectoria reciente de la glucosa, se puede construir un sistema de circuito cerrado —un páncreas artificial— capaz de mantener la glucemia del paciente crítico entre tres coma nueve y diez milimoles por litro, sin que un profesional tenga que ajustar manualmente la insulina en cada momento.

Pregunta clave: How are metabolic, circulatory and renal signals combined to anticipate deterioration?
Critical-care monitoring combines glucose regulation, thermal state, peripheral perfusion, urine output, fractional excretion and fluid balance to anticipate deterioration hour by hour. The combined observations support early detection of dangerous glycemia, low cardiac output, renal hypoperfusion versus established renal injury, and fluid overload; after initial sepsis resuscitation, a moderately negative balance is associated with better renal prognosis. En conjunto, todas estas variables del monitoreo metabólico y térmico —la glucosa intersticial medida en tiempo casi real y el sistema de circuito cerrado que puede regularla automáticamente, la temperatura central y el gradiente entre esa temperatura central y la piel que revela la contracción de la circulación periférica, la producción horaria de orina y las proporciones de sodio y de urea excretadas que distinguen el origen de una insuficiencia renal, y el balance hídrico acumulado que resume el riesgo de sobrecarga de fluidos— son las que la práctica del paciente crítico combina para vigilar, sin apenas retraso, el estado metabólico, la perfusión y la función renal del paciente.
