ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate outcomes of vascular surgeries and identify strategies to improve public vascular care. Methods This was a descriptive, qualitative, and cross-sectional survey involving 30 specialists of the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein via Zoom. The outcomes of vascular procedures performed in the Public Health System extracted through Big Data analysis were discussed, and 53 potential strategies to improve public vascular care to improve public vascular care. Results There was a consensus on mandatory reporting of some key complications after complex arterial surgeries, such as stroke after carotid revascularization and amputations after lower limb revascularization. Participants agreed on the recommendation of screening for diabetic feet and infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. The use of Telemedicine as a tool for patient follow-up, auditing of centers for major arterial surgeries, and the concentration of complex arterial surgeries in reference centers were also points of consensus, as well as the need to reduce the values of endovascular materials. Regarding venous surgery, it was suggested that there should be incentives for simultaneous treatment of both limbs in cases of varicose veins of the lower limbs, in addition to the promotion of ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy in the public system. Conclusion After discussing the data from the Brazilian Public System, proposals were defined for standardizing measures in population health care in the area of vascular surgery.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar a satisfação da equipe da unidade de terapia intensiva com o prontuário eletrônico do paciente e comparar a relevância do conceito de registro eletrônico de ordens médicas entre os profissionais de saúde da unidade de terapia intensiva. Métodos: Estudo transversal de levantamento para avaliar a satisfação da equipe da unidade de terapia intensiva com o prontuário eletrônico do paciente em uma unidade de terapia intensiva clínica e cirúrgica para pacientes adultos com 30 leitos, utilizando um questionário de autopreenchimento. As questões utilizadas para graduar os níveis de satisfação foram respondidas segundo uma escala numérica, que variava de 1 (baixo grau de satisfação) a 10 pontos (elevado grau de satisfação). Resultados: As pessoas que responderam ao questionário (n=250) eram, em sua maioria, do gênero feminino (66%) com idades entre 30 e 35 anos (69%). O grau geral de satisfação com o prontuário eletrônico do paciente foi de 5,74±2,14 pontos. O grau de satisfação foi mais baixo entre os médicos (n=42) do que entre enfermeiros, técnicos de enfermagem, terapeutas respiratórios, farmacêuticos clínicos e nutricionistas (4,62±1,79 em comparação com 5,97±2,14; p<0,001); o grau de satisfação decresceu com a idade (p<0,001). Os médicos tiveram níveis mais baixos de satisfação com relação ao potencial do sistema de registro eletrônico de ordens médicas de melhorar a segurança do paciente (5,45±2,20 em comparação com 8,09±2,21; p<0,001) e facilidade de uso do sistema de registro eletrônico de ordens médicas (3,83±1,88 em comparação com 6,44±2,31; p<0,001). As características com ...


Objective: To evaluate the satisfaction of the intensive care unit staff with a computerized physician order entry and to compare the concept of the computerized physician order entry relevance among intensive care unit healthcare workers. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional survey to assess the satisfaction of the intensive care unit staff with the computerized physician order entry in a 30-bed medical/surgical adult intensive care unit using a self-administered questionnaire. The questions used for grading satisfaction levels were answered according to a numerical scale that ranged from 1 point (low satisfaction) to 10 points (high satisfaction). Results: The majority of the respondents (n=250) were female (66%) between the ages of 30 and 35 years of age (69%). The overall satisfaction with the computerized physician order entry scored 5.74±2.14 points. The satisfaction was lower among physicians (n=42) than among nurses, nurse technicians, respiratory therapists, clinical pharmacists and diet specialists (4.62±1.79 versus 5.97±2.14, p<0.001); satisfaction decreased with age (p<0.001). Physicians scored lower concerning the potential of the computerized physician order entry for improving patient safety (5.45±2.20 versus 8.09±2.21, p<0.001) and the ease of using the computerized physician order entry (3.83±1.88 versus 6.44±2.31, p<0.001). The characteristics independently associated with satisfaction were the system's user-friendliness, accuracy, capacity to provide clear information, and fast response time. Conclusion: Six months after its implementation, healthcare workers were satisfied, albeit not entirely, with the computerized physician order entry. The overall users' satisfaction with computerized physician order entry was lower among physicians compared to other healthcare professionals. The factors associated with satisfaction included the belief that digitalization ...

ABSTRACT

Em 2009, muitos casos de infecção pulmonar com hipoxemia grave refratária às estratégias ventilatórias habitualmente utilizadas e às manobras de resgate para a síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo foram relatados durante a epidemia por influenza A (H1N1). Em muitos desses pacientes, o uso de extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO, oxigenação extracorpórea por membrana) foi necessário, fato que fez reacender o interesse na ECMO globalmente. O Grupo De Estudos em Suporte Extracorpóreo foi criado visando a aprender a técnica e a utilizar ECMO no tratamento de pacientes com hipoxemia grave. Neste artigo, são discutidas as indicações de ECMO e é relatado o caso de uma paciente com hipoxemia refratária que foi tratada através de ECMO de forma bem sucedida.


In 2009, during the influenza A (H1N1) epidemic, there were many reported cases of pulmonary infection with severe hypoxemia that was refractory to the ventilatory strategies and rescue therapies commonly used to treat patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Many of those cases were treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which renewed international interest in the technique. The Extracorporeal Support Study Group was created in order to practice ECMO and to employ it in the treatment of patients with severe hypoxemia. In this article, we discuss the indications for using ECMO and report the case of a patient with refractory hypoxemia who was successfully treated with ECMO.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Apesar da ressuscitação volêmica guiada por saturação venosa central de oxigênio (SvcO2) ser considerada atualmente padrão ouro no tratamento da sepse, poucos estudos caracterizaram o perfil evolutivo de variáveis hemodinâmicas e perfusionais durante esta abordagem terapêutica. Este estudo teve por objetivo descrever evolutivamente estes parâmetros durante o choque séptico experimental sem ressuscitação e após 12 horas de ressuscitação guiada por metas. MÉTODOS: Treze porcos (35-45 kg) anestesiados foram submetidos a peritonite por inoculação fecal (0,75g/kg). Após desenvolverem hipotensão persistente, ambos os grupos receberam antibióticos e foram randomizados em dois grupos: controle (n=7), com suporte hemodinâmico otimizado para pressão venosa central entre 8-12mmHg, diurese acima de 0,5ml/kg/h e pressão arterial média maior que 65mmHg; e SvO2 (n=6), com os objetivos acima e SvO2 acima de 65 por cento. As intervenções incluíram ringer lactato e noradrenalina nos 2 grupos e dobutamina no grupo SvO2. Os animais foram tratados durante doze horas ou óbito. RESULTADOS: A sepse não tratada associou-se a uma significante redução da SvO2, PvO2, débito cardíaco e pressão venosa central e aumento da diferença arterio-venosa da saturação de oxigênio e veno-arterial de CO2. Após ressuscitação, esses parâmetros foram corrigidos em ambos os grupos. A ressuscitação guiada por metas associou-se a um melhor perfil hemodinâmico caracterizado por maiores SvO2, débito cardíaco e pressão venosa central. CONCLUSÕES: A sepse não ressuscitada apresenta um perfil hemodinâmico sugestivo de hipovolemia, com piora perfusional e hemodinâmica revertida após ressuscitação volêmica. A ressuscitação guiada por metas associa-se a uma significante melhora dos parâmetros hemodinâmicos e perfusionais.


OBJECTIVES: Although fluid resuscitation guided by central venous oxygen saturation (SvcO2) is currently considered the gold standard in sepsis therapy, few studies have described hemodynamic and perfusion parameters during this procedure. This study aims to describe these parameters during septic shock without resuscitation and after 12 hours of goal-directed resuscitation. METHODS: Thirteen anesthetized pigs (35-45 kg) had peritonitis caused by fecal inoculation (0.75 g/kg). After developing persistent hypotension, both groups were given antibiotics and randomized either to the control group (n=7) or the experimental group (n=6). In the control group, hemodynamic control was optimized to maintain a central venous pressure of 8-12 mmHg, a urinary output above 0.5 mL/kg/hour and a mean arterial blood pressure above 65 mmHg. The experimental group received the above target therapy in addition to maintaining a SvO2 above 65 percent. The interventions included lactated Ringer's solution and norepinephrine for both groups and dobutamine in the SvO2 group. The animals were treated for 12 hours or until death. RESULTS: Untreated sepsis was associated with significant reductions in SvO2, PvO2, cardiac output and central venous pressure in addition to increased arteriovenous oxygen saturation and veno-arterial CO2 differences. Following resuscitation, these parameters were corrected in both groups. Goal-directed resuscitation was associated with a better hemodynamic profile, characterized by higher SvO2, cardiac output and central venous pressure. CONCLUSIONS: Non-resuscitated sepsis showed a hemodynamic profile suggesting hypovolemia, with worsened perfusion and hemodynamics, which is reversed upon fluid resuscitation. Goal-directed resuscitation is associated with significantly improved hemodynamic and perfusion parameters.
