ABSTRACT

Introduction: Part of the prognosis of hospitalized patient depends on nutritional status and the safety and efficacy of the feeding administration route. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify data on the indication of nasoenteric tube (NET) prescription to analyze the profile of these patients. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out with data collection in medical records of patients over 18 years of age, of both sexes, treated at the Emergency Adult Service (EAS), using NET. Results: there was a predominance of females (51.9%); neurological disease was the most prevalent underlying disease, and 57.8% had more than one diagnosed disease. Malnutrition, bronchopneumonia, and dysphagia were present in 23.6%, 27% and 40% of the cases, respectively. There was a request for speech-language evaluation in only 8.7% of the patients. And 80.7% did not use NET prior to emergency care. Regarding the indications for the use of NET by group of underlying disease, low food intake was the most prevalent clinical reason described in the medical records, followed by dysphagia, with a higher prevalence of patients taking NET for nutritional reasons. There was no justification for prescription in 15.2% of the sample. There was an association between the variables bronchopneumonia and dysphagia (p = 0.01). Conclusion: It was verified that in the studied population there are risk factors for dysphagia. The analysis of the population profile in the present study contributed to increased knowledge and information about this population regarding the criteria for indication of the use of the alternative route.

ABSTRACT

Dentre as profissões da área da saúde, a enfermagem, em particular, tem sido afetada pelos distúrbios musculoesqueléticos produzindo alterações na vida desses trabalhadores, impossibilitando-os de realizarem atividades cotidianas e laborais. Objetivo: Investigar a prevalência de dor osteomuscular e a associação com a qualidade de vida em profissionais de enfermagem que atuam em equipes de cirurgia no Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. Método: Estudo transversal realizado entre março de 2011 ejaneiro de 2012, em um hospital universitário terciário do sul do Brasil. Foram avaliados 110 trabalhadores de enfermagem das equipes de cirurgia. Foram excluídos os trabalhadores em licença saúde, fériasou outro tipo de afastamento durante o período de coleta dos dados. A dor osteomuscular foi avaliada através do questionário Nórdico de Sintomas Osteomusculares e a qualidade de vida foi avaliada atravésdo questionário Medical Outcomes Study 36 - Item Short-Form Survey (SF-36). As relações entre dor osteomuscular e qualidade de vida foram analisadas através do Teste U de Mann-Whitney, utilizandonível de significância de 95%. Resultados: A prevalência de dor osteomuscular encontrada neste estudo foi de 91,81%. Com relação às regiões anatômicas, considerou-se as queixas de dor osteomuscular retroativo há doze meses, onde o predomínio foi de dor no pescoço (56%) e ombros (56%). Quando consideramos afastamento por dor osteomuscular encontramos a prevalência de dor lombar (34%). O grupo que não relatou dor osteomuscular apresentou melhores índices de qualidade de vida nos domínios de capacidade funcional, aspectos físicos, dor, vitalidade, aspectos sociais e saúde mental. Conclusão: A dor osteomuscular apresenta maior prevalência nas regiões do pescoço e ombros. Além disso, o maior número de afastamentos ocorre por prevalência de dor lombar entre os trabalhadores de enfermagem das equipes de cirurgia. A dor influenciou na qualidade de vida afetando seis dos domínios avaliados


Among the health professions, nursing, in particular, has been affected by musculoskeletal disorders. The WMSD produce changes in the lives of these workers, impossible of them held daily activities andlabour. Objective: Investigating the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and associated with the quality of life in nursing professionals who work in surgery teams. Method: Cross-sectional study conductedbetween March 2011 and January 2012 in a tertiary university hospital in southern Brazil. We evaluated 110 workers nursing teams. It was excluded workers on sick leave, vacation or other absence duringthe period of data collection. The musculoskeletal pain was assessed using the Nordic Musculoskeletal symptoms questionnaire the quality of life was assessed by the Medical Outcomes Study 36 - Item Short-Form Survey (SF-36). The relationship between musculoskeletal pain and quality of life were analyzed by the U of Mann-Whitney test, using a significance level of 95%. Results: The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain found in this study was 91.81%. With respect to anatomic regions, it was consideredthe complaints of musculoskeletal pain retroactive twelve months ago, where there was the predominance of neck pain (56%) and shoulders (56%). When we consider sick leaving for musculoskeletal painwe found the prevalence of low back pain (34%). The group who reported no musculoskeletal pain showed better indices of quality of life in the areas of physical functioning, physical aspect, bodily pain,vitality, social and mental health aspect. Conclusion: the higher prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in the neck and shoulder regions. Moreover, the largest number of sick leaves occurs because of the prevalenceof low back pain among nursing staff of the surgical teams. The pain influenced the quality of life affecting six of the areas assessed.

ABSTRACT

O propósito deste estudo foi avaliar, através de uma série de casos, a relação entre tensão neural adversa do nervo mediano (TNAm) e o parâmetro eletrofisiológico em 38 pacientes com sintomas da síndrome do túnel do carpo (STC), submetidos a estudos de condução nervosa (ECN). As principais medidas foram a TNAm obtida no teste de provocação de tensão neural (TPTN) e parâmetros dos ECN, dividindo-se os braços avaliados em três grupos: normal, com alteração eletrofisiológica sem gravidade e com alteração eletrofisiológica grave. Correlação significante entre TNAm e parâmetros dos ECN foram encontrados (p<0,05), bem como entre a TNAm e os três grupos definidos pela alteração eletrofisiológica (r s=+0.437, p=0,002). Valores de TNAm foram significantemente maiores nos braços com diagnóstico eletrofisiológico (p=0,007). Sugere-se que a TNAm tem participação na fisiopatologia da STC, indicando o uso de procedimentos terapêuticos que diminuam ou previnam a tensão neural.
