ABSTRACT

Resumo Fundamento: Pouco explorada na decisão de extubação no pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca, a complacência pulmonar estática seriamente afetada no procedimento cirúrgico pode levar à insuficiência respiratória e à falha na extubação. Objetivo: Avaliar a complacência pulmonar estática no pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca e relacionar sua possível redução aos casos de falha na extubação dos pacientes submetidos ao método fast-track de extubação. Métodos: Foram incluídos pacientes que realizaram cirurgia cardíaca com uso de circulação extracorpórea (CEC) em um hospital universitário estadual admitidos na UTI sob sedação e bloqueio residual. Tiveram sua complacência pulmonar estática avaliada no ventilador mecânico por meio do software que utiliza o least squares fitting (LSF) para a medição. No período de 48 horas após a extubação os pacientes foram observados respeito à necessidade de reintubação por insuficiência respiratória. O nível de significância adotado para os testes estatísticos foi de 5%, ou seja, p<0,05. Resultados: Obtiveram sucesso na extubação 77 pacientes (75,49%) e falharam 25 (24,51%). Os pacientes que falharam na extubação tiveram a complacência pulmonar estática mais baixa quando comparados aos que tiveram sucesso (p<0,001). Identificamos o ponto de corte para complacência por meio da análise da curva Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC) sendo o ponto de corte o valor da complacência <41ml/cmH2O associado com maior probabilidade de falha na extubação (p<0,001). Na análise de regressão múltipla, verificou-se a influência da complacência pulmonar (dividida pelo ponto de corte da curva ROC) com risco de falha 9,1 vezes maior para pacientes com complacência <41ml/cmH2O (p< 0,003). Conclusões: A complacência pulmonar estática <41ml/cmH2O é um fator que compromete o sucesso da extubação no pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca.


Abstract Background: Static lung compliance, which is seriously affected during surgery, can lead to respiratory failure and extubation failure, which is little explored in the decision to extubate after cardiac surgery. Objective: To evaluate static lung compliance in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery and relate its possible reduction to cases of extubation failure in patients submitted to the fast-track method of extubation. Methods: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) at a state university hospital admitted to the ICU under sedation and residual block were included. Their static lung compliance was assessed on the mechanical ventilator using software that uses least squares fitting (LSF) for measurement. Within 48 hours of extubation, the patients were observed for the need for reintubation due to respiratory failure. The level of significance adopted for the statistical tests was 5%, i.e., p<0.05. Results: 77 patients (75.49%) achieved successful extubation and 25 (24.51%) failed extubation. Patients who failed extubation had lower static lung compliance compared to those who succeeded (p<0.001). We identified the cut-off point for compliance through analysis of the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC), with the cut-off point being compliance <41ml/cmH2O associated with a higher probability of extubation failure (p<0.001). In the multiple regression analysis, the influence of lung compliance (divided by the ROC curve cut-off point) was found to be 9.1 times greater for patients with compliance <41ml/cmH2O (p< 0.003). Conclusions: Static lung compliance <41ml/cmH2O is a factor that compromises the success of extubation in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: Risk factors and postoperative complications can worsen the condition of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting; some of these factors and complications are closely related to mortality rate. Objective: To describe clinical factors and outcomes related to mortality of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and on invasive mechanical ventilation. Methods: This is a single-center retrospective data analysis of patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting on invasive mechanical ventilation between 2013 and 2019. Data regarding clinical characteristics, postoperative complications, intensive care unit and mechanical ventilation time, and their relationship with mortality were analyzed. Results: Four hundred seventy-two patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting entered the study. Their mean age was 62.3 years, and mean body mass index was 27.3. The mortality rate was 4%. Fifty percent of the patients who had ventilator-associated pneumonia died. Considering the patients who underwent hemotherapy and hemodialysis, 20% and 33% died, respectively. Days of intensive care unit stay and high Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation score and Simplified Acute Physiology Score were significantly related to death. Conclusion: Factors and clinical conditions such as the patients' age, associated comorbidities, the occurrence of ventilator-associated pneumonia, length of stay in the intensive care unit, and mechanical ventilation time are related to higher mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar pacientes em pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca que necessitaram de reintubação endotraqueal, e identificar os fatores associados com óbito e seu relacionamento com escores de severidade. Métodos: Análise retrospectiva de informações referentes a 1.640 pacientes em pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca no período entre 2007 e 2015. Resultados: A taxa de reintubação foi de 7,26%. Dentre os pacientes reintubados, 36 (30,3%) foram submetidos à cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica, 27 (22,7%) à substituição valvar, 25 (21,0%) à correção de um aneurisma e oito (6,7%) a um transplante cardíaco. Dentre os pacientes com comorbidades, 54 (51,9%) eram hipertensos, 22 (21,2%) diabéticos e 10 (9,6%) tinham doença pulmonar. Dentre os pacientes que tiveram complicações, 61 (52,6%) tiveram pneumonia, 50 (42,4%) desenvolveram insuficiência renal e 49 (51,0%) tiveram uma forma moderada de distúrbio transitório da troca gasosa. Foi realizada ventilação não invasiva em 53 (44,5%) pacientes. A taxa de óbitos foi de 40,3%, e a mortalidade foi mais elevada no grupo que não recebeu ventilação não invasiva antes da reintubação (53,5%). Dentre os pacientes reintubados que morreram, os valores do SOFA e do APACHE II foram, respectivamente, de 7,9 ± 3,0 e 16,9 ± 4,5. A maior parte dos pacientes reintubados (47,5%) pertencia ao grupo de risco mais elevado (EuroSCORE > 6 pontos). Conclusão: A taxa de reintubação foi elevada e se relacionou com o SOFA e o APACHE II mais graves. A mortalidade foi mais elevada no grupo que não recebeu ventilação não invasiva antes da reintubação.


ABSTRACT Objectives: To analyze patients after cardiac surgery that needed endotracheal reintubation and identify factors associated with death and its relation with the severity scores. Methods: Retrospective analysis of information of 1,640 patients in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery between 2007 and 2015. Results: The reintubation rate was 7.26%. Of those who were reintubated, 36 (30.3%) underwent coronary artery bypass surgery, 27 (22.7%) underwent valve replacement, 25 (21.0%) underwent correction of an aneurysm, and 8 (6.7%) underwent a heart transplant. Among those with comorbidities, 54 (51.9%) were hypertensive, 22 (21.2%) were diabetic, and 10 (9.6%) had lung diseases. Among those who had complications, 61 (52.6%) had pneumonia, 50 (42.4%) developed renal failure, and 49 (51.0%) had a moderate form of the transient disturbance of gas exchange. Noninvasive ventilation was performed in 53 (44.5%) patients. The death rate was 40.3%, and mortality was higher in the group that did not receive noninvasive ventilation before reintubation (53.5%). Within the reintubated patients who died, the SOFA and APACHE II values were 7.9 ± 3.0 and 16.9 ± 4.5, respectively. Most of the reintubated patients (47.5%) belonged to the high-risk group, EuroSCORE (> 6 points). Conclusion: The reintubation rate was high, and it was related to worse SOFA, APACHE II and EuroSCORE scores. Mortality was higher in the group that did not receive noninvasive ventilation before reintubation.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Patients in intensive care unit are prescribed large numbers of drugs, highlighting the need to study potential Drug-Drug Interactions in this environment. The aim of this study was to delineate the prevalence and risk of potential drug-drug interactions between medications administered to patients in an ICU. This cross-sectional observational study was conducted during 12 months, in an adult ICU of a teaching hospital. Inclusion criteria were: prescriptions with 2 or more drugs of patients admitted to the ICU for > 24 hours and age of ≥18 years. Potential Drug-Drug Interactions were quantified and classified through MicromedexTM database. The 369 prescriptions included in this study had 205 different drugs, with an average of 13.04 ± 4.26 (mean ± standard deviation) drugs per prescription. Potential Drug-Drug Interactions were identified in 89% of these, with an average of 5.00 ± 5.06 interactions per prescription. Of the 405 different pairs of potentially interacting drugs identified, moderate and major interactions were present in 74% and 67% of prescriptions, respectively. The most prevalent interaction was between dipyrone and enoxaparin (35.8%), though its clinical occurrence was not observed in this study. The number of potential Drug-Drug Interactions showed significant positive correlations with the length of stay in the intensive care unit, and with the number of prescribed drugs. Acknowledging the high potential for Drug-Drug Interactions in the ICU represents an important step toward improving patient safety and best therapy results.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a presença de hiponatremia e natriurese, bem como suas associações com o fator natriurético atrial em pacientes de neurocirurgia. Métodos: Foram incluídos 30 pacientes submetidos à ressecção de tumor intracraniano e à clipagem de aneurisma cerebral. Os níveis plasmáticos e urinários de fator natriurético atrial foram medidos durante os períodos pré e pós-operatório. Resultados: Hiponatremia esteve presente em 63,33% dos pacientes, particularmente no primeiro dia pós-operatório. Observou-se natriurese em 93,33% dos pacientes, principalmente no segundo dia pós-operatório. Os níveis plasmáticos de fator natriurético atrial estavam aumentados em 92,60% dos pacientes em pelo menos um dos dias pós-operatórios, mas não houve associação estatisticamente significante entre fator natriurético atrial e sódio plasmático, e entre fator natriurético atrial e sódio urinário. Conclusão: Após neurocirurgia, na maior parte dos pacientes, estiveram presentes hiponatremia e natriurese; contudo, o fator natriurético atrial não pôde ser considerado diretamente responsável por tais alterações nos pacientes neurocirúrgicos. Provavelmente, há o envolvimento de outros fatores natriuréticos.


ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the presence of hyponatremia and natriuresis and their association with atrial natriuretic factor in neurosurgery patients. Methods: The study included 30 patients who had been submitted to intracranial tumor resection and cerebral aneurism clipping. Both plasma and urinary sodium and plasma atrial natriuretic factor were measured during the preoperative and postoperative time periods. Results: Hyponatremia was present in 63.33% of the patients, particularly on the first postoperative day. Natriuresis was present in 93.33% of the patients, particularly on the second postoperative day. Plasma atrial natriuretic factor was increased in 92.60% of the patients in at least one of the postoperative days; however, there was no statistically significant association between the atrial natriuretic factor and plasma sodium and between the atrial natriuretic factor and urinary sodium. Conclusion: Hyponatremia and natriuresis were present in most patients after neurosurgery; however, the atrial natriuretic factor cannot be considered to be directly responsible for these alterations in neurosurgery patients. Other natriuretic factors are likely to be involved.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Comparar valores de pressão inspiratória máxima (PImáx) aferidos por um manovacuômetro digital e por um dispositivo eletrônico de treinamento muscular inspiratório e avaliar as repercussões hemodinâmicas após as medidas. MÉTODOS: A amostra foi composta por indivíduos acima de 18 anos, de ambos os sexos, internados na unidade de terapia intensiva, hemodinamicamente estáveis, sem uso de drogas vasoativas ou de sedação, intubados ou traqueostomizados, em processo de desmame da ventilação mecânica. Foram feitas três medidas de PImáx pelos dois equipamentos, com tempo de oclusão de 20 segundos e tempo entre as medidas de cinco minutos. Foram analisados frequência respiratória, pressão arterial média e frequência respiratória antes e após cada medida para cada equipamento utilizado. A análise estatística usou os programas Statistical Analysis System e R Project for Statistical Computing V. 3.1.2, aplicando os testes ANOVA e Wilcoxon. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos no estudo 58 pacientes. A média das PImáx obtidas com o manovacuômetro digital foi -46,22 centímetros de água (cmH2O), enquanto a média obtida com o dispositivo de TMI foi -13,15 cmH2O (p<0,001). A frequência cardíaca apresentou aumento na comparação antes e após todas as medidas em ambos os dispositivos (p<0,0001). A pressão arterial média apresentou diferença estatisticamente significativa somente entre antes e após a primeira medida obtida pelo manovacuômetro digital, e entre antes e após a segunda medida obtida com o dispositivo de treinamento muscular inspiratório (p<0,001). A frequência respiratória apresentou variação significativa entre antes e após as três medidas em ambos dispositivos (p<0,0001). Os valores das variáveis hemodinâmicas após as medidas de PImáx permaneceram dentro dos limites da normalidade. CONCLUSÕES: O manovacuômetro digital registrou uma PImáx superior à registrada pelo dispositivo eletrônico de treinamento muscular inspiratório. Ambos os dispositivos alteraram os valores das variáveis hemodinâmicas, que entretanto permaneceram dentro da normalidade e sem repercussão clínica.


AIMS: To compare maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) measured by a digital manometer and by an inspiratory muscle training (IMT) device and to evaluate hemodynamic changes after measurements. METHODS: The sample included male and female individuals older than 18 years admitted to an intensive care unit who were hemodynamically stable, not being treated with vasoactive drugs or sedated, intubated or tracheostomized, and who were in the process of being weaned from mechanical ventilation. MIP was measured by both devices on three different occasions, with an occlusion time of 20 seconds and a 5-minute interval between measurements. The following parameters were assessed: respiratory rate, mean arterial pressure, and respiratory rate before and after each measurement by each device. The statistical analysis was made in the Statistical Analysis System and the R Project for Statistical Computing V. 3.1.2 softwares, using the ANOVA and the Wilcoxon tests. RESULTS: Fifty-eight patients were included in the study. The mean value obtained for MIP was -46.22 centimeters of water (cmH2O) in the digital manometer and -13.15 cmH2O (p<0.001) in the IMT device. Heart rate showed a significant increase (p<0.0001) both before and after all measurements in both devices. Mean arterial pressure showed a statistically significant difference only before and after the first measurement by the digital manometer and before and after the second measurement by the IMT device (p<0.001). The respiratory rate oscillated significantly before and after the three measurements by both devices (p<0.0001). The hemodynamic parameters remained within reference values after MIP measurements. CONCLUSIONS: The digital manometer recorded a higher MIP than that measured by the IMT device. The hemodynamic parameter values oscillated in both devices, but they remained within the normal range and were not clinically significant.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To assess the efficacy of an adjustable inspiratory occlusion valve in experimental bronchopleural fistula during mechanical ventilation.METHODS:We studied six mechanically ventilated pigs in a surgically created, reproducible model of bronchopleural fistula managed with mechanical ventilation and water-sealed thoracic drainage. An adjustable inspiratory occlusion valve was placed between the thoracic drain and the endotracheal tube. Hemodynamic data, capnography and blood gases were recorded before and after the creation of the bronchopleural fistula as well as after every adjustment of the inspiratory occlusion valve.RESULTS:When compared with the standard water-sealed drainage treatment, the use of an adjustable inspiratory occlusion valve improved the alveolar tidal volume and reduced bronchopleural air leak (p<0.001), without hemodynamic compromise when compared with conventional water sealed drainage.CONCLUSION: The use of an adjustable inspiratory occlusion valve improved the alveolar tidal volume, reduced alveolar leak, in an experimental reproducible model of bronchopleural fistula, without causing any hemodynamic derangements when compared with conventional water sealed drainage.

ABSTRACT

A instalação de implantes tem se tornado o tratamento recomendado para a reposição em edêntulos. Pesquisas na área da Implantodontia têm objetivado desenvolver procedimentos rápidos, controlados e que resultem em maior conforto e previsibilidade ao paciente e ao profissional. Nessas circunstâncias, surgiu o desenvolvimento de implantes curtos, substituindo os implantes convencionais quando há uma limitação para a implantação desse, representando uma alternativa viável, simples e previsível. Para se verificar a prevalência de utilização dos implantes curtos, sobre uma quantidade preestabelecida de prontuários, foram utilizados prontuários de diferentes clínicas e cursos de especialização, entre 2005 e 2012. Verificou-se quantos desses eram curtos (ou seja, com tamanho de 8,5mm ou 10mm), o tamanho dos implantes, a região em que foram implantados, o sexo e a idade dos pacientes. Dos 82 prontuários analisados, foram obtidos 459 implantes; desses, a maioria (79%) foi instalada em pacientes do sexo feminino. Desses implantes, 48,6% eram de 10mm e 14,8% eram de 8,5mm. Para ambos os tamanhos, a idade de maior prevalência foi entre 50 e 59 anos. A proporção de utilização de implantes curtos, comparados aos longos convencionais, aumentou nos últimos anos, em decorrência das novas pesquisas, e vêm sendo indicados em diversas circunstâncias, mostrando ser uma técnica segura, previsível, com menor custo, sem necessidade de múltiplos procedimentos cirúrgicos, além de preservar as estruturas anatômicas preexistentes e ter boa aceitação pelos implantodontistas e pacientes...


Implant placement has become the recommended treatment for rehabilitation of edentulouspatients. Research in Implantology aims to develop rapid controlled procedures that provide patients and clinicians with greater comfort and predictability. In these circumstances, short implants were developed to replace conventional implant limited placement, thereby representing a feasible, simple and predictable alternative. To determine the prevalence of short implants use on a previously established sample of dental records, the latter were obtained from different dental offices and specialization courses between 2005 and 2012. The following was assessed: number of short implants (8.5-mm or 10-mm long), size of implants, the region where they were placed, as well as patients’ sex and age. Of the 82 dental records analyzed, 459 implants were obtained; the majority (79%) of them was placed in female patients, 48.6% were 10-mm long and 14.8% were 8.5-mm long. For both implant sizes, the most prevalent age group was between 50 and 59 years old. The use of short implants, when compared to the use of conventional long ones, increased in recent years due to new research. They are recommended in different circumstances and have proved to be a safe, predictable, less expensive technique without the need for multiple surgery, in addition to preserving patient’s preexisting anatomic structures and being well received by patients and implant dentists...

ABSTRACT

Basal cell adenoma is a rare benign salivary gland neoplasm that accounts for 1 to 3 percent of all salivary gland tumors. Most cases occur in major salivary glands and are rare in minor salivary glands. Describe a clinical case of basal cell adenoma. A 76-year-old Caucasian Brazilian woman presents with a slow-growing asymptomatic lesion of the upper lip. Physical examination revealed a nodular lesion 1.1 cm in size. The lesion was firm to palpation and the surrounding mucosa had normal color and appearance, without any ulceration. The tumor was surgically removed by excisional biopsy. Biopsy confirmed basal cell adenoma. A systematic literature review was carried out in PubMed, Lilacs and SciELO databases. The review included all articles published before 1992. Until 1991 no differentiation was made between basal cell adenoma and canalicular adenoma. Both pathologies were classified as monomorphic adenoma. This is the seventh case of upper lip basal cell adenoma reported in the literature between 1992 and 2014. Three of the seven cases reported were from Brazil(AU)


El adenoma de células basales es una neoplasia de la glándula salival raro benigno que representa a 1 a 3 por ciento de todos los tumores de las glándulas salivales. La mayoría de los casos ocurren en las glándulas salivales mayores, siendo poco frecuente en las glándulas salivales menores. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir un caso clínico de adenoma de células basales. Una mujer brasileña de raza caucásica de 76 años de edad, quien se queja de un crecimiento lento y asintomático de una lesión en el labio superior. El examen físico reveló una lesión nodular de 1,1 cm de tamaño. La lesión era firme a la palpación y la mucosa circundante tenía color normal y la apariencia, sin ulceración. El tumor fue extirpado quirúrgicamente mediante una biopsia por escisión. La biopsia confirmó adenoma de células basales. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura se en las bases de datos PubMed, Lilacs y SciELO. Incluimos en esta revisión todos los artículos publicados antes de 1992. Hasta 1991, no se hizo la diferenciación entre adenoma de células basales y adenoma canalicular. Ambas patologías fueron clasificadas como adenoma monomórfico. Este es el séptimo caso de adenoma de células basales de labio superior reportado en la literatura entre 1992 y 2014. Tres de los siete casos reportados provinieron de Brasil(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objective: A retrospective cohort study was preformed aiming to verify the presence of transient dysfunction of gas exchange in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery and determine if this disorder is linked to cardiorespiratory events. Methods: We included 942 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac surgery and cardiac procedures who were referred to the Intensive Care Unit between June 2007 and November 2011. Results: Fifteen patients had acute respiratory distress syndrome (2%), 199 (27.75%) had mild transient dysfunction of gas exchange, 402 (56.1%) had moderate transient dysfunction of gas exchange, and 39 (5.4%) had severe transient dysfunction of gas exchange. Hypertension and cardiogenic shock were associated with the emergence of moderate transient dysfunction of gas exchange postoperatively (P=0.02 and P=0.019, respectively) and were risk factors for this dysfunction (P=0.0023 and P=0.0017, respectively). Diabetes mellitus was also a risk factor for transient dysfunction of gas exchange (P=0.03). Pneumonia was present in 8.9% of cases and correlated with the presence of moderate transient dysfunction of gas exchange (P=0.001). Severe transient dysfunction of gas exchange was associated with patients who had renal replacement therapy (P=0.0005), hemotherapy (P=0.0001), enteral nutrition (P=0.0012), or cardiac arrhythmia (P=0.0451). Conclusion: Preoperative hypertension and cardiogenic shock were associated with the occurrence of postoperative transient dysfunction of gas exchange. The preoperative risk factors included hypertension, cardiogenic shock, and diabetes. Postoperatively, pneumonia, ventilator-associated pneumonia, renal replacement therapy, hemotherapy, and cardiac arrhythmia were associated with the appearance of some degree of transient dysfunction of gas exchange, which was a risk factor for reintubation, pneumonia, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and renal replacement therapy in the postoperative period ...


Objetivo: Estudo de coorte retrospectivo com objetivo de verificar a presença de disfunção transitória da troca gasosa no pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca e determinar se esse transtorno está relacionado a eventos cardiorrespiratórios. Métodos: Foram incluídos 942 pacientes consecutivos submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca e procedimentos cardíacos, encaminhados para a Unidade de Terapia Intensiva, entre junho de 2007 e novembro de 2011. Resultados: A síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo foi observada em 15 (2%) pacientes, 199 (27,75%) pacientes apresentaram disfunção transitória da troca gasosa leve, disfunção transitória da troca gasosa moderada foi observada em 402 (56,1%) pacientes e disfunção transitória da troca gasosa grave em 39 (5,4%). A presença de hipertensão arterial sistêmica e choque cardiogênico foi associada ao surgimento de disfunção transitória da troca gasosa moderada no período pós-operatório (P=0,02 e P=0,019, respectivamente) e foram considerados fatores de risco para essa disfunção (P=0,0023 e P=0,0017, respectivamente). A presença de diabetes mellitus também foi considerada um fator de risco para disfunção transitória da troca gasosa (P=0,03). Houve correlação entre a presença de pneumonia e a presença de disfunção transitória da troca gasosa moderada em 8,9% dos casos (P=0,001). A presença de disfunção transitória da troca gasosa grave foi associada a pacientes que necessitaram de hemodiálise (P=0,0005), hemoterapia (P=0,0001), nutrição enteral (P=0,0012), ou arritmia cardíaca (P=0,0451). Conclusão: A presença de hipertensão arterial sistêmica pré-operatória e choque cardiogênico foi associada à ocorrência de disfunção transitória da troca gasosa pós-operatória. Os fatores de risco pré-operatórios foram hipertensão arterial sistêmica, choque cardiogênico e diabetes. No pós-operatório, pneumonia, pneumonia associada à ventilação, hemodiálise, hemoterapia e arritmia cardíaca foram associadas com certo grau de ...

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To investigate the hemodynamic and ventilatory changes associated with the creation of an experimental bronchopleural fistula (BPF) treated by mechanical ventilation and thoracic drainage with or without a water seal. METHODS : Six large white pigs weighing 25 kg each which, after general anesthesia, underwent endotracheal intubation (6mm), and mechanically ventilation. Through a left thoracotomy, a resection of the lingula was performed in order to create a BPF with an output exceeding 50% of the inspired volume. The chest cavity was closed and drained into the water sealed system for initial observation of the high output BPF. RESULTS: Significant reduction in BPF output and PaCO2 was related after insertion of a water-sealed thoracic drain, p< 0.05. CONCLUSION: Insertion of a water-sealed thoracic drain resulted in reduction in bronchopleural fistula output and better CO2 clearance without any drop in cardiac output or significant changes in mean arterial pressure. .

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Realizar uma metanálise da eficácia da laser terapia (LT) na prevenção damucosite oral (MO) em pacientes submetidos à oncoterapia. MÉTODOS: Foi realizada uma busca nas bases de dados MEDLINE, LILACS e Cochrane, utilizando as palavras-chave "laser therapy" e "oral mucositis". Os estudos de caso-controle incluídos foram submetidos à análise do odds ratio (OR), cujo ponto de corte para a estatística foi MO grau > 3. Os cálculos foram realizados com o programa BioEstat 5.0, utilizando a análise estatística de Efeito Aleatório de DerSimonian-Laird. RESULTADOS: Doze estudos foram incluídos na revisão sistemática. A metanálise de sete deles evidenciou que a LT em pacientes submetidos à oncoterapia é aproximadamente nove vezes mais eficaz na prevenção de MO grau > 3 do que empacientes sem o tratamento com laser (OR: 9,5281; intervalo de confiança de 95% 1,447-52,0354, p = 0,0093). CONCLUSÃO: Esses dados demonstraram efeito profilático significativo de MOgrau > 3 nos pacientes submetidos à LT. Estudos com maior tamanho amostral são necessários para melhor avaliação do efeito profilático de MO grau > 3 por LT.


OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effectiveness of Laser Therapy in the prevention of oral mucositis (OM) in patients undergoing oncotherapy. METHODS: To this systematic review and meta-analysis a search was performed in MEDLINE, LILACS and Cochrane using the keywords "laser therapy" and "Oral mucostitis." The casecontrol studies included were submitted to odds ratio (OR) analysis, which the cut-off point for statistic calculation was OM grade > 3. We carried out a meta-analysis by BioEstat 5.0, using the Random Effect DerSimonian-Laird statistical analysis. RESULTS: Twelve (studies were included in this systematic review, and the meta-analysis of seven of them showed that LT in patients undergoing oncotherapy is approximately nine times more effective in the prevention of OM grade > 3 than in patients without laser treatment (OR: 9,5281, confidence interval 95% 1,447-52,0354, p = 0,0093. CONCLUSION: These data demonstrated significant prophylatic effect of OM grade > 3 in patients undergoing LT. Further studies, with larger sample sizes, are needed for better evaluation of the prophylatic effect of OM grade > 3 by LT.

ABSTRACT

Simple bone cysts are pseudocysts affecting long bones and, less frequently, the jaws, especially the mandible. These cysts are generally detected during routine radiography, with the frequent observation of a well-delimited radiolucent area sending projections between the roots of the teeth involved. Simple bone cysts are mainly diagnosed during the second decade of life and have an excellent prognosis, but their etiology is uncertain. The aim of this paper is to report the case of a simple bone cyst in a 15-year-old adolescent seen at the Stomatology Outpatient Clinic, School of Dentistry, Federal University of Bahia. The etiology, clinical course and prognosis of this lesion are discussed based on a systematic review of the literature.


Cistos ósseos simples são pseudocistos que afetam ossos longos e, menos frequentemente, os ossos maxilares, especialmente da mandíbula. Esses cistos geralmente são detectados durante os exames imaginológicos de rotina, com a observação frequente de uma área radiolúcida bem delimitada com projeções entre as raízes dos dentes envolvidos. Cistos ósseos simples são diagnosticados principalmente durante a segunda década de vida e possuem um excelente prognóstico, mas a sua etiologia é incerta. O objetivo deste artigo é relatar o caso de um cisto ósseo simples em um adolescente de 15 anos de idade, visto no Ambulatório de Estomatologia da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal da Bahia. A etiologia, curso clínico e prognóstico desta lesão são discutidos com base em uma revisão de literatura sistemática.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) at discharge (GOS-HD) as a prognostic indicator in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHOD: Retrospective data were collected of 45 patients, with Glasgow coma scale <8, age 25±10 years, 36 men, from medical records. Later, at home visit, two measures were scored: GOS-HD (according to information from family members) and GOS LATE (12 months after TBI). RESULTS: At discharge, the ERG showed: vegetative state (VS) in 2 (4%), severe disability (SD) in 27 (60%), moderate disability (MD) in 15 (33%) and good recovery (GR) in 1 (2%). After 12 months: death in 5 (11%), VS in 1 (2%), SD in 7 (16%), MD in 9 (20%) and GR in 23 (51%). Variables associated with poor outcome were: worse GOS-HD (p=0.03), neurosurgical procedures (p=0.008) and the kind of brain injury (p=0.009). CONCLUSION: The GOS-HD was indicator of prognosis in patients with severe TBI.


OBJETIVO: Avaliar a escala de resultados de Glasgow (ERG) à alta hospitalar (ERG-ALTA) como indicador prognóstico em pacientes com traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE). MÉTODO: Dados retrospectivos de 45 pacientes (36 homens), com escala de coma de Glasgow <8, idade 25±10 anos, foram coletados do prontuário médico. Posteriormente, em visita domiciliar, foram pontuadas duas medidas: ERG-ALTA (de acordo com informações de familiares) e ERG TARDIA (após 12 meses do TCE). RESULTADOS: Por ocasião da alta hospitalar, a ERG evidenciou: estado vegetativo (EV) em 2 (4%); incapacidade grave (IG) em 27 (60%), incapacidade moderada (IM) em 15 (33%) e boa recuperação (BR) em 1 (2%). Após 12 meses: morte em 5 (11%), EV em 1 (2%), IG em 7 (16%), IM em 9 (20%) e BR em 23 (51%). Variáveis associadas com má evolução foram: pior ERG-ALTA (p=0,03); procedimentos neurocirúrgicos (p=0,008) e o tipo de lesão cerebral (p=0,009). CONCLUSÃO: A ERG-ALTA foi indicador adequado de prognóstico tardio em pacientes com TCE grave.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Analisar o nível de consciência, efeitos pulmonares e hemodinâmicos em pacientes intensivos durante a posição ortostática. MÉTODOS: Estudo realizado de abril de 2008 a julho de 2009 na unidade de terapia intensiva adulto do HC-UNICAMP. Foram incluídos quinze pacientes que estiveram mecanicamente ventilados por mais de sete dias; traqueostomizados; em nebulização intermitente; pressão inspiratória máxima inferior a -25cmH2O; índice de Tobin inferior a 105; drive ventilatório preservado, ausência de sedativos; pressão parcial de oxigênio arterial maior que 70mmHg; saturação de oxigênio maior que 90% e estabilidade hemodinâmica. Os parâmetros avaliados, nas inclinações de 0º, 30º e 50º, foram o nível de consciência; reflexo de blinking; cirtometria tóraco-abdominal; capacidade vital; volume corrente; volume minuto ; força da musculatura respiratória e sinais vitais. RESULTADOS: Não houve alteração do nível neurológico. A freqüência respiratória (f) e V E reduziram-se em 30º com posterior aumento em 50º, no entanto, essas alterações não foram estatisticamente significativas. A cirtometria abdominal e a pressão expiratória máxima apresentaram aumento, novamente sem significância estatística. Em relação à pressão inspiratória máxima e a capacidade vital observou-se aumento estatisticamente significante na comparação entre as angulações 50º e 0º. Já o volume corrente aumentou ao longo do tempo, na comparação entre as angulações 30º e 0º, e entre 50º e 0º. A pressão arterial média sofreu incremento somente na comparação entre 50º e 0º. A freqüência cardíaca elevou-se ao longo do tempo e quando comparada entre 30ºe 0º, 50º e 0º, e 50º e 30º. CONCLUSÃO: O ortostatismo passivo proporcionou melhora do volume corrente, capacidade vital , pressão inspiratória máxima, e aumento da frequência cardíaca e pressão arterial média em pacientes críticos.


OBJECTIVE: To assess the consciousness level, pulmonary and hemodynamic effects of orthostatic position in intensive care patients. METHODS: This study was conducted from April 2008 to July 2009 in the Adult Intensive Care Unit, Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. Fifteen patients were included who were mechanically ventilated for more than seven days and had the following characteristics: tracheotomized; receiving intermittent nebulization; maximal inspiratory pressure of less than -25 cm H2O; Tobin score less than 105; preserved respiratory drive; not sedated; partial arterial oxygen pressure greater than 70 mm Hg; oxygen saturation greater than 90%; and hemodynamically stable. With inclinations of 0º, 30º and 50º, the following parameters were recorded: consciousness level; blinking reflex; thoracoabdominal cirtometry; vital capacity; tidal volume; minute volume; respiratory muscle strength; and vital signs. RESULTS: No neurological level changes were observed. Respiratory rate and minute volume (V E) decreased at 30% and later increased at 50%; however, these changes were not statistically significant. Abdominal cirtometry and maximal expiratory pressure increased, but again, the changes were not statistically significant. Regarding maximal inspiratory pressure and vital capacity, statistically significant increases were seen in the comparison between the 50º and 0º inclinations. However, tidal volume increased with time in the comparisons between 30º and 0º and between 50º and 0º. Mean blood pressure increased only for the comparison of 50º versus 0º. Heart rate increased with time for the comparisons between 30º and 0º, between 50º and 0º and between 50º and 30º. CONCLUSION: Passive orthostatism resulted in improved tidal volume and vital capacity, maximal inspiratory pressure and increased heart rate and mean blood pressure in critically ill patients.

ABSTRACT

Trata-se do primeiro relato envolvendo uma paciente em pós-operatório recente de neurocirurgia submetida à trombólise química por embolia pulmonar (EP) maciça e, por não apresentar condições clínicas, sem exame de imagem. Dados clínicos, gasométricos e capnográficos permitiram decidir pela trombólise com segurança. O gradiente P(a-et)CO2 passou de 46,4 mmHg para 11,8 mmHg (normal < 5 mmHg) e a fração do espaço morto alveolar end-tidal passou de 0,85 para 0,37 (normal < 0,15) do período pré-trombólise para o sétimo dia pós-trombólise. Conclui-se que a capnografia volumétrica (CV) foi útil no diagnóstico, bem como no acompanhamento clínico da paciente.


This is the first report of a patient submitted to chemical thrombolysis due to massive pulmonary embolism (PE) during the postoperative period of neurosurgery, in whom due to the lack of adequate clinical conditions, no imaging assessment was performed. Clinical, gasometric and capnographic data allowed the decision to perform the thrombolysis with safety. The P(a-et)CO2 gradient decreased from 46.4 mmHg to 11.8 mmHg (normal < 5 mmHg) and the end-tidal alveolar dead space fraction decreased from 0.85 to 0.37 (normal < 0.15) from the pre-thrombolysis period to the 7th day post-thrombolysis. We conclude that the volumetric capnography (VC) was useful in the patient's diagnosis and clinical follow-up.


Se trata del primer relato incluyendo una paciente en postoperatorio reciente de neurocirugía sometida a trombolisis química por embolia pulmonar (EP) maciza y, por no presentar condiciones clínicas, sin examen de imagen. Datos clínicos, gasométricos y capnográficos permitieron decidir por la trombolisis con seguridad. El gradiente P(la-et)CO2 pasó de 46,4 mmHg a 11,8 mmHg (normal < 5 mmHg) y la fracción del espacio muerto alveolar end-tidal pasó de 0,85 a 0,37 (normal < 0,15) del período pretrombolisis al séptimo día post trombolisis. Se concluye que la capnografía volumétrica (CV) fue útil en el diagnóstico, así como en el control clínico de la paciente.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: A reperfusão precoce da artéria responsável pelo acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico está associada ao salvamento da zona de hipoperfusão adjacente à área central isquêmica. Nosso objetivo foi analisar em uma série retrospectiva de pacientes a eficácia da trombólise intra-arterial em restabelecer o fluxo no vaso tratado na fase aguda do acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico e avaliar o grau de incapacidade por meio da escala de Rankin modificada (ERm) no seguimento mínimo de três meses, identificando variáveis prognósticas. Método: Série de 30 pacientes com acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico [tempo entre o início dos sintomas e o início da trombólise (At) < 6 horas no território carotídeo e < 12 horas no território vértebro-basilar) associado a oclusão de uma artéria cerebral, angiograficamente comprovada, e sem hemorragia ou sinais de infarto de grande extensão na tomografia computadorizada, submetidos a trombólise intra-arterial, combinada ou não a angioplastia intracaniana adjunta. Resultados: A pontuação admissional na escala do acidente vascular cerebral do National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) foi de 15 + ou - 17. A trombólise intra-arterial, combinada ou não...


BACKGROUND: Early reperfusion of an occluded artery responsible for an acute ischemic stroke is associated to the salvage of the hypoperfused zone adjacent to the central ischemic area. Our objective was to analyze the efficacy of intra-arterial thrombolysis in reestablishing flow in the treated vessel during the acute phase of ischemic stroke in a retrospective series of patients and evaluate the degree of disability using the modified Rankin scale (mRS) in a minimum follow-up period of three months, identifying prognostic variables. METHODS: Series of 30 patients with acute ischemic stroke [time from the onset of symptoms and beginning of thrombolysis (Δt) < 6 hours in the carotid territory and < 12 hours in basilar territory] associated to the occlusion of a cerebral artery confirmed by angiography and without hemorrhage or major early infarction signs at computed tomography (CT) scan, undergoing intra-arterial thrombolysis associated to adjuvant intracranial angioplasty. RESULTS: The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 15 ± 17. Complete recanalization was observed in 21 patients (70%) and partial recanalization in 9 patients (30%). Intracranial angioplasty was required in 8 patients. Favorable outcome (mRS < 2) was obtained in 53.3% of the overall sample and in 64% of the patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion. A better outcome was associated to better collateral flow (P = 0.07), involvement of the middle cerebral artery (P = 0.01), involvement of the right cerebral hemisphere (P = 0.07), and intra-arterial thrombolysis < 4.5 hours (P = 0.057). An unfavorable outcome was associated to hyperglycemia (P = 0.003), initial NIHSS > 18 (P = 0.01), advanced age (P = 0.01) and higher doses of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) (P = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS: Intra-arterial thrombolysis in the acute phase of ischemic stroke and associated to adjunct intracranial angioplasty has proven to be an effective method with a high percentage of complete recanalization and favorable outcome in appropriately selected patients.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: A unidade de terapia intensiva é sinônimo de gravidade e apresenta taxa de mortalidade entre 5,4 por cento e 33 por cento. Com o aperfeiçoamento de novas tecnologias, o paciente pode ser mantido por longo período nessa unidade, ocasionando altos custos financeiros, morais e psicológicos para todos os envolvidos. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os fatores associados à maior mortalidade e tempo de internação prolongado em uma unidade de terapia intensiva adulto. MÉTODOS: Participaram deste estudo todos os pacientes admitidos consecutivamente na unidade de terapia intensiva de adultos, clínica/cirúrgica do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas, no período de seis meses. Foram coletados dados como: sexo, idade, diagnóstico, antecedentes pessoais, APACHE II, dias de ventilação mecânica invasiva, reintubação orotraqueal, traqueostomia, dias de internação na unidade de terapia intensiva, alta ou óbito na unidade de terapia intensiva. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos no estudo 401 pacientes, sendo 59,6 por cento homens e 40,4 por cento mulheres, com idade média de 53,8±18,0 anos. A média de internação na unidade de terapia intensiva foi de 8,2±10,8 dias, com taxa de mortalidade de 13,46 por cento. Dados significativos para mortalidade e tempo de internação prolongado em unidade de terapia intensiva (p<0,0001), foram: APACHE II >11, traqueostomia e reintubação. CONCLUSÃO: APACHE >11, traqueostomia e reintubação estiveram associados, neste estudo, à maior taxa de mortalidade e tempo de permanência prolongado em unidade de terapia intensiva.


OBJECTIVE: The intensive care unit is synonymous of high severity, and its mortality rates are between 5.4 and 33 percent. With the development of new technologies, a patient can be maintained for long time in the unit, causing high costs, psychological and moral for all involved. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors for mortality and prolonged length of stay in an adult intensive care unit. METHODS: The study included all patients consecutively admitted to the adult medical/surgical intensive care unit of Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas, for six months. We collected data such as sex, age, diagnosis, personal history, APACHE II score, days of invasive mechanical ventilation orotracheal reintubation, tracheostomy, days of hospitalization in the intensive care unit and discharge or death in the intensive care unit. RESULTS: Were included in the study 401 patients; 59.6 percent men and 40.4 percent women, age 53.8±18.0. The mean intensive care unit stay was 8.2±10.8 days, with a mortality rate of 13.5 percent. Significant data for mortality and prolonged length of stay in intensive care unit (p <0.0001), were: APACHE II>11, OT-Re and tracheostomy. CONCLUSION: The mortality and prolonged length of stay in intensive care unit intensive care unit as risk factors were: APACHE>11, orotracheal reintubation and tracheostomy.

ABSTRACT

A hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória, também denominada de epúlide fissurada, enquadra-se entre as lesões benignas do tecido mole decorrentes de traumas crônicos, geralmente de uma prótese mal adaptada. Essa lesão acomete preferencialmente o sexo feminino, adultos de meia idade ou mais velhos, e usuários de próteses. É mais frequente na região anterior da maxila, exofítica, e pode variar de flácida a consistente. O presente trabalho relata um caso de hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória, diagnosticado em uma mulher de cinquenta dois anos de idade, leucoderma, no ambulatório de Estomatologia I da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal da Bahia, e apresenta relatos da literatura a respeito dessa lesão.
