ABSTRACT

Background@#Accurate tip positioning of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is crucial for optimal drug delivery and avoiding complications. The objective of this study was to evaluate the amplitude ratios of intravascular electrocardiography (ivECG) and external electrocardiography (exECG) according to the tip location. @*Methods@#This retrospective study analyzed ivECG, exECG, and chest X-ray (CXR) of 278 patients who underwent a PICC procedure. The tip-to-carina distance (TCD) was measured using vertebral body units (VBU) on CXR. Tip locations were categorized as follows: Zone 1, malposition (TCD 2.4 VBU). The amplitude ratios between ivECG and exECG and within ivECG were compared in each zone. @*Results@#The ivECG/exECG amplitude ratios of P-wave (Piv/Pex) and QRS-complex (QRiv/QRex and RSiv/RSex) in Zone 3 were significantly higher than in Zones 1 and 2 (adjusted P < 0.05). The ivECG amplitude ratios of the P-wave and QRS-complex (Piv/QRiv and Piv/RSiv) were significantly lower in Zone 3 than in Zones 1 and 2 (adjusted P < 0.001). The calculated TCD using stepwise multiple regression analysis was estimated to be 1.121 + 0.078 × Piv/Pex – 0.172 × Piv/QRiv. @*Conclusions@#Though caution is required, amplitude ratios such as Piv/Pex and Piv/QRiv can help determine tip location during the PICC catheterization procedure.

ABSTRACT

The objective of the study was to describe as characteristics of caesarean births of primiparous women in a hospital in the São Francisco Valley in the year 2013. Descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study with 101 pregnant women undergoing caesarean section. The data were collected from the patients' medical records using a form and analyzed through the EPI INFO 3.7 program. It was observed that the mean age of the primiparous women was 21 years, 96.3% were brown, 69.3% had a partner, and 49.4% had 12 or more years of education. Pre-eclampsia (15.84%) and progression dystocia (14.85%) were the main referrals for caesarean section. Of those surveyed, 80% had no previous risk factor. However, 27.6% had hypertensive complications, 7.9% had hemorrhagic complications, and 9.9% already needed ICU admission. Characteristics of the studied population were young women with a partner, good schooling, brown and prenatal. The main referrals for a caesarean section were: pre-eclampsia and progression dystocia, although they did not have any previous risk factor, they presented hemorrhage and hypertensive disease as a complication, and were admitted to the ICU was the most frequently found maternal morbidity condition


Descrever as características dos partos cesarianos de primíparas em um hospital do Vale São Francisco no ano de 2013. Estudo descritivo, retrospectivo e transversal com 101 gestantes submetidas à cesariana. Os dados foram coletados dos prontuários por meio de um formulário, e analisados através do programa EPI-INFO 3.7. Observou-se que a idade média das primíparas era de 21 anos, 96,3% eram da cor parda, 69,3% apresentavam companheiro e 49,4% tinham 12 ou mais anos de estudo. A pré-eclâmpsia (15,84%) e a distócia de progressão (14,85%) foram as principais indicações de cesariana. Das pesquisadas 80% não apresentavam fator de risco prévio. Contudo, 27,6% tiveram complicação hipertensiva e 7,9% complicação hemorrágica. Já 9,9 % necessitaram de internação em UTI. Foram características da população estudada mulheres jovens com companheiro, boa escolaridade, de cor parda e que realizaram pré-natal. As principais indicações de cesariana foram: pré-eclâmpsia e a distócia de progressão, apesar de não possuirem fator de risco prévio, apresentaram hemorragia e doença hipertensiva como complicação e tiveram a internação em UTI foi à condição de morbidade materna mais encontrada.

ABSTRACT

Dentre as principais situações de vulnerabilidade ao HIV e outras doenças sexualmente transmissíveis (DST), destaca-se a ausência de uso de preservativo com parceiros não fixos, cujo uso rotineiro é pouco frequente em ambos os sexos, independente da faixa etária ou situação conjugal.Objetivo: Caracterizar os usuários do Centro de Testagem e Aconselhamento em DST/AIDS de Juazeiro, Bahia, que possuem parceiros não fixos e verificar a prevalência de uso de preservativo, no ano de 2011. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo com dados secundários do serviço de saúde,utilizando o Formulário de Entrada do Sistema de Informação do Centro de Testagem e Aconselhamento, totalizando 408 usuários. Na análise dos dados,foi avaliada a distribuição das variáveis por meio de frequência absoluta e relativa. Resultados: A maioria dos participantes era do sexo masculino, na faixa etária entre 21 e 35 anos, com escolaridade de 8 anos ou mais e cerca de um terço tinha parceiro estável. A prevalência de uso de preservativo com parceiro não fixo foi 35,29%, elevando-se conforme aumentavam os anos de estudo. O uso rotineiro foi mais frequente entre os homossexuais e bissexuais.Daqueles que relataram ter tido algum tipo de DST no último ano, cerca de 70% referiram usar preservativos somente às vezes ou nunca. Conclusão: Ouso de preservativos com parceiros não fixos entre esses usuários é pouco frequente, sendo observadas práticas sexuais inseguras que os expõem, e a seus parceiros, a um maior risco de contaminação por DST.


Among the main situations of vulnerability to HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STD), the lack of condom use with non-fixedpartners is a major problem, which affects men and women, regardless of age or marital status. Objective: To characterize the users of the Center for Counseling and Testing STD/AIDS in Juazeiro, Bahia, Brazil, whose have non-fixed partners; and to determine the prevalence of condom use in the year 2011. Methods: We developed a descriptive study using secondary data from the health service, using the Entry Form Information System of the Center for Counseling and Testing, with a global number of 408 users. In data analysis, we evaluated the distribution of variables by means of absolute and relativefrequency. Results: The majority of participants were male, aged between 21-35 years with 8 years or more of schooling and about a third of them had astable partner. The prevalence of condom use with a non-fixed partner was low (35.29%), increasing according to the schooling years. The customary use was more common among gays and bisexuals. Of those who reported having any type of STD in the past year, about 70% reported using condoms onlysometimes or never. Conclusion: The use of condoms with non-fixed partners among these users is not common, being observed unsafe sexual practices that expose them and their partners at a greater risk of contamination by DST.
