ABSTRACT
Abstract Introduction: Oncological patients who are submitted to surgical procedures might have postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Thus, preoperative physical conditions must be considered, since it is an important predictor of postoperative development. Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications that might compromise the recovery after oncologic surgery. Method: The present observational transversal study was made between March and October of 2015. Patients diagnosed with cancer were analyzed to determine pulmonary and functional condition and to identify the risk factors for the development of PPCs. The post-surgery recovery was followed through medical records. Data collected from patients' analyses was correlated with post-surgery development. Results: Thirty patients were analyzed. A negative and moderate correlation was found between maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and PPCs (r=-0.39; p=0.032). A positive correlation between the time of permanence in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and hospitalization days (r=0.40; p=0.02) was observed. Correlations between PPCs and mechanical ventilation (r=0.36; p=0.04) and hospitalization days (r=0.40; p=0.02) were also noticed in the present study. Conclusion: PPCs might prejudice post-surgery outcome. The greater are physical condition and pulmonary functions of the patients before surgery, the better is their recovery.
Resumo Introdução: Pacientes oncológicos submetidos a procedimentos cirúrgicos podem apresentar complicações pulmonares no pós-operatório. A condição física pré-operatória deve ser considerada, pois é um importante preditor do desenvolvimento pós-operatório. Objetivo: Analisar os fatores de risco para complicações pulmonares pós-operatórias (CPPO) que podem comprometer a recuperação após a cirurgia oncológica. Método: O presente estudo observacional transversal foi realizado entre os meses de março e outubro de 2015. Pacientes oncológicos participaram de uma avaliação para determinação da condição pulmonar e funcional pré-operatória e identificação dos fatores de risco para desenvolvimento de CPPO. A evolução pós-operatória foi acompanhada por meio de prontuários. Os dados coletados da avaliação foram correlacionados com o desenvolvimento pós-operatório. Resultados: Trinta pacientes foram analisados. Foi encontrada correlação negativa e moderada entre a PImáx e as CPPO (r=-0,39; p=0,032). A permanência na UTI apresentou correlação positiva com os dias de internamento hospitalar (r=0,40; p=0,02). A ventilação mecânica (r= 0,36; p=0,04) e os dias de internamento no hospital (r=0,40; p=0,02) tiveram correlação com o tipo de CPPO. Conclusão: CPPO podem prejudicar o desfecho pós-operatório. Bom estado físico e boa função pulmonar prévias à cirurgia oncológica possibilitam melhor desempenho para o paciente no pós-operatório.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint thread embedding in preventing urinary retention after cervical cancer surgery.Method Fifty eligible patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 25 cases each. The control group was given catheterization after gynecological surgery; the treatment group was intervened by thread embedding at Zusanli (ST36), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Yinlingquan (SP9), Guanyuan (CV4), and Shenshu (BL23) on the 7th day after the surgery in addition to the basic intervention given to the control group. The indwelling catheter was removed on the 14th day after the surgery, and the bladder function, urination, and residual urine volume were compared between the two groups.Result After the treatment, the bladder function in the treatment group was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0.05); the markedly effective rate of spontaneous micturition was 92.0% in the treatment group versus 72.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Early intervention with acupoint thread embedding after cervical cancer surgery can effectively decrease the incidence of post-surgery urinary retention, and it's easy-to-operation and worth application in clinic.
