ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: to develop educational technology for nurses on transcutaneous pacemaker management in older adults undergoing mobile pre-hospital assistance. Method: a methodological study developed with the Advanced Support Units of the Mobile Urgency Care Service of the 2nd Metropolitan Health Region of Paraná, Brazil, in three phases: 1) Pre-production - preparation of the video script; 2) Production - script validation by expert judges, storyboard development, voiceover recording and selection of images; and 3) Post-production - evaluation of the video by expert judges and diffusion. 51 specialist judge nurses took part in validation of the script; and 47 of them assessed the video. The data were collected between April and May 2022 using instruments with a Likert scale, via Google Forms. Descriptive statistics was applied for data analysis and a Content Validity Index of at least 0.78 was considered. Results: the judges suggested less technical language, inclusion of a scene and a correction referring to the positioning of the transcutaneous pacemaker adhesive pads. A 2D video lasting 8 minutes and 30 seconds was produced, which addressed actions and care measures in managing pacemakers in older adults. The following items were considered adequate: language, images, voiceover, duration, guidelines proposed and memorization of the messages (CVI=1.0). Conclusion: the educational technology developed was considered validated for nurses regarding the transcutaneous pacemaker management in older adults. The educational video can support decision-making in favor of patient and team safety and treatment efficacy, in order to qualify the assistance provided.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the risk factors for predicting atrial high-rate episodes (AHREs) detected by cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Methods: A total of 140 patients with CIED in our hospital from June 2013 to June 2018 were included and were followed up to observe whether they had AHREs. AHRE are defined as atrial rate ≥ 175 times/minute, lasting > 5 minutes, and reviewed by an experienced electrophysiologist with unclear clinical diagnosis. The patients fasted for 12 hours after implantation, and blood samples were collected for biochemical, lipid, and whole blood count detection. Follow-up was regular after discharge to record follow-up data of each patient and conduct statistical analysis. Results: One hundred and forty patients were implanted with dual-chamber pacemakers, their median age was 70 years old, 44.29% were male, 27 patients had AHRE within one year, and AHRE incidence rate was 19.29%. The microcytic to hypochromic (M/H) ratio was calculated for all AHRE patients and compared with the patients without AHRE; the M/H value of AHRE patients was significantly higher. Throughout the entire follow-up period, a total of 44 patients developed AHRE; when adjusted by multivariate analysis, only M/H ratio ≥ 4.5 vs. < 4.5 had statistical significance, and the adjusted hazard ratio value was 4.313 (1.675-11.105). Conclusion: As an indicator, M/H ratio may play an important role in the occurrence and development of atrial fibrillation and can be used as a predictor of AHRE in patients with CIED.

Destaca-se a necessidade de elucidar o conhecimento e qualificar a assistência ao idoso a partir de recursos didáticos como o vídeo educativo. A pesquisa teve por objetivo elaborar uma tecnologia educacional para enfermeiros sobre o manejo do marca-passo transcutâneo em idosos em Atendimento Pré-Hospitalar Móvel. Trata-se de pesquisa metodológica de produção tecnológica, do tipo quantitativa descritiva, a qual baseia-se na construção e validação de um vídeo educativo, desenvolvido nas Unidades de Suporte Avançado do Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência, da 2ª Regional de Saúde Metropolitana do Estado do Paraná. O método de produção do vídeo foi composto por três fases: a) pré-produção, que consistiu na elaboração do roteiro do vídeo; b) produção, na qual ocorreu a validação do roteiro do vídeo por um grupo de juízes especialistas seguido da elaboração dos "storyboards", seleção das imagens, gravação das narrações e edição do vídeo; c) pós-produção, que se traduziu na validação do vídeo pelo grupo de juízes especialistas. Para a validação do roteiro foi utilizado um instrumento do tipo escala de "Likert" e para validação do vídeo um questionário elaborado e adaptado a partir do modelo de Razera et al. (2016). Após a validação pelos juízes, o vídeo foi divulgado em um canal do Youtube. Quanto ao conteúdo do roteiro foram elencados quatro blocos: conhecimentos gerais sobre o MPTC em idosos, cuidados de enfermagem na utilização do MPTC, etapas para o manejo do MPTC e as possíveis complicações e limitações na utilização do MPTC, e foi validado por 51 juízes especialistas. O vídeo foi validado por 47 juízes especialistas que participaram da etapa anterior. Em relação ao gênero dos juízes especialistas, as mulheres representaram na fase 1 da pesquisa (F1) 56,9% e na fase 2 (F2) 57,4%. Quanto à idade dos participantes a maioria apresentou entre 35 e 45 anos (F1 62,7% e F2 61,7%). Produziu-se um vídeo de duração de oito minutos e 30 segundos em animação 2D, fundamentado a partir de uma revisão integrativa e consultas em guias e "guidelines" de sociedades de cardiologia nacional e internacional que abordam as ações e cuidados no manejo do marca-passo transcutâneo em idosos. Conclui-se que a tecnologia desenvolvida, nos quesitos: linguagem, imagens, narração, adequação quanto ao tempo de duração, orientações propostas e memorizações das mensagens, alcançou índices que demostram a viabilidade na identificação das ações e cuidados pelo enfermeiro no manejo do marca-passo transcutâneo em idosos no atendimento pré-hospitalar. Assim, foi elaborada e validada uma estratégia para a educação em saúde que contribui para subsidiar a equipe na tomada de decisões, colaborando para a segurança do paciente e da equipe, assim como para o sucesso no tratamento. A tecnologia educacional desenvolvida pode ampliar e reciclar continuamente o conhecimento dos enfermeiros da Unidade de Suporte Avançado de Vida sobre as ações e cuidados essenciais no manuseio do MPTC em idoso com bradiarritmias no Atendimento Pré-Hospitalar Móvel.


Abstract: This research grasps the production of an educational video about the handling of the transcutaneous pacemaker (TCPM) in elderly in Mobile Pre-Hospital Care. The need to clarify knowledge and qualify the elderly's care through didactic resources, such as the educational video, is highlighted. The aim of the research was to elaborate an educational technology for nurses about the handling of the transcutaneous pacemaker (TCPM) in elderly in Mobile Pre-Hospital Care. This is a methodological research of technology production, of the quantitative descriptive type, which is based in the construction and validation of an educational video, developed in Advanced Care Units (ACUs) of Mobile Emergency Medical Service, of the 2nd Metropolitan Health Regional of the State of Paraná. The production method of the video was composed by three phases: a) pre-production, which consisted in the screenplay elaboration; b) production, in which there was the validation of the video screenplay by a group of specialist judges followed by the elaboration of storyboards, selection of images, recordings of narrations and video editing; c) post-production, which consisted in the validation of the video by the group of specialist judges. For the validation of the screenplay a scale-like "likert" instrument was used, and for the validation of the video, a questionnaire made and adapted from Razera's et al model. (2016). After validation by the judges, the video was shared on a Youtube channel. As for the content of the screenplay, they were divided in four blocks: general knowledge about TCPM in elderly, nursing care when using TCPM, phases for the handling of TCPM and the possible complications and limitations utilizing TCPM, it was approved by 51 specialist judges. The video itself was approved by 47 specialist judges who took part in the former phase. With respect to gender of the specialist judges, women represented in phase 1 of the research (P1) 56.9% and in phase 2 (P2) 57.4%. As for the age of participants, most of them were between 35 and 45 years old (P1 62.7% and P2 61.7%). There was the production of a video lasting eight minutes and 30 seconds in 2D animation, reasoned by an integrative review and bibliographic research in guidelines of national and international cardiology societies that approach nurses' actions and care in the handling of the transcutaneous pacemaker in elderly in prehospital care. It concludes that the developed technology in terms of language, images, narration, adjustment to duration time, proposed guidance and message memorization, reached indexes that show viability in identification of nurses' actions and care in the handling of the transcutaneous pacemaker in elderly in pre-hospital care. Therefore, it was elaborated and validated a strategy for health education, that contributes to subsidize the team in decision making, contributing to the safety of the patient and the team, as well as for treatment success. The developed educational technology can broaden and continually recycle the knowledge of nurses from the Units of Intensive Life Support (SAV) about necessary actions and care in the handling of the transcutaneous pacemaker in elderly with bradyarrhythmia in Mobile Pre-Hospital Care.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Fundamento A estimulação ventricular direita convencional aumenta o risco de fibrilação atrial e insuficiência cardíaca em portadores de marca-passo. A estimulação do ramo esquerdo (RE) do sistema His-Purkinje pode evitar os desfechos indesejados da estimulação ventricular direita. Objetivo Analisar retrospectivamente os desfechos intraoperatórios, eletrocardiográficos e os dados clínicos do seguimento inicial de pacientes submetidos à estimulação do RE. Métodos Foram avaliados os parâmetros eletrônicos do implante e eventuais complicações precoces de 52 pacientes consecutivos submetidos à estimulação do sistema de condução. O nível de significância alfa adotado foi igual a 0,05. Resultados 52 pacientes foram submetidos a estimulação do RE do sistema His-Purkinje, obtendo sucesso em 50 procedimentos. 69,2% dos pacientes eram do sexo masculino e a mediana e intervalo interquatil da idade no momento do implante foi de 73,5 (65,0-80,0) anos. A duração do QRS pré-implante foi de 146 (104-175) ms e de 120 (112-130) ms após o procedimento. O tempo de ativação do ventrículo esquerdo foi de 78 (70-84) ms. A amplitude da onda R foi de 12,00 (7,95-15,30) mV, com limiar de estimulação de 0,5 (0,4-0,7) V × 0,4 ms e impedância de 676 (534-780) ohms. O tempo de procedimento foi de 116 (90-130) min e o tempo de fluoroscopia foi de 14,2 (10,0-21,6) min. Conclusão A estimulação cardíaca do sistema de condução His-Purkinje por meio da estimulação do ramo esquerdo é uma técnica segura e factível. Nesta casuística, apresentou alta taxa de sucesso, foi realizada com tempo de procedimento e fluoroscopia baixos e obteve medidas eletrônicas adequadas.


Abstract Background Conventional right ventricular pacing increases the risk of atrial fibrillation and heart failure in pacemaker patients. Stimulation of the left bundle branch (LBB) of the His-Purkinje system can prevent the unwanted outcomes of right ventricular pacing. Objective To retrospectively analyze the intraoperative outcomes, electrocardiographic and clinical data from the initial follow-up of patients submitted to stimulation of the LBB. Methods The electronic parameters of the implant and of possible early complications of 52 consecutive patients submitted to stimulation of the conduction system were evaluated. The adopted significance level was 0.05. Results Fifty-two patients underwent left bundle branch stimulation, with 50 successful procedures; 69.2% of the patients were male, and the median and interquartile range of age at the time of implantation was 73.5 (65.0-80.0) years. The pre-implant QRS duration was 146 (104-175) ms and 120 (112-130) ms after the procedure. The left ventricle activation time was 78 (70-84) ms. The R-wave amplitude was 12.00 (7.95-15.30) mV, with a stimulation threshold of 0.5 (0.4-0.7) V x 0.4 ms and impedance of 676 (534-780) ohms. The procedure duration was 116 (90-130) min, and the fluoroscopy time was 14.2 (10.0-21.6) min. Conclusion Cardiac stimulation of the His-Purkinje conduction system through the stimulation of the left bundle branch is a safe and feasible technique. In this study, it showed a high success rate, with low procedure and fluoroscopy periods, achieving adequate electronic measurements.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Fundamento A estimulação cardíaca artificial (ECA) por captura direta ou indireta do feixe de His resulta em contração ventricular sincrônica (ECA fisiológica). Objetivos Comparar sincronia cardíaca, características técnicas e resultados de parâmetros eletrônicos entre duas técnicas de ECA indireta do feixe de His: a não seletiva e a parahissiana. Métodos Intervenção experimental (novembro de 2019 a abril de 2020) com implante de marca-passo definitivo (MPd) DDD em pacientes com fração de ejeção ventricular esquerda > 35%. Foram comparadas a sincronia cardíaca resultante mediante algoritmo de análise eletrocardiográfica da variância espacial do QRS e as características técnicas associadas a cada método entre ECA hissiana não seletiva (DDD-His) e parahissiana (DDD-Var). Resultados De 51 pacientes (28 homens), 34 (66,7%) foram alocados no grupo DDD-Var e 17 (33,3%), no grupo DDD-His, com idade média de 74 e 79 anos, respectivamente. No grupo DDD-Var, a análise da variância espacial do QRS (índice de sincronia ventricular) mostrou melhora após o implante de MPd (p < 0,001). Ao ECG pós-implante, 91,2% dos pacientes do grupo DDD-Var mostraram padrão fisiológico de ECA, comprovando ativação similar à do DDD-His (88,2%; p = 0,999). O eixo do QRS estimulado também foi similar (fisiológico) para ambos os grupos. A mediana do tempo de fluoroscopia do implante foi de 7 minutos no grupo DDD-Var e de 21 minutos no DDD-His (p < 0,001), favorecendo a técnica parahissiana. A duração média do QRS aumentou nos pacientes do DDD-Var (114,7 ms pré-MPd e 128,2 ms pós-implante, p = 0,044). A detecção da onda R foi de 11,2 mV no grupo DDD-Var e de 6,0 mV no DDD-His (p = 0,001). Conclusão A ECA parahissiana comprova recrutamento indireto do feixe de His, mostrando-se uma estratégia eficaz e comparável à ECA fisiológica ao resultar em contração ventricular sincrônica similar à obtida por captura hissiana não seletiva.


Abstract Background Artificial cardiac pacing by direct or indirect His bundle capture results in synchronous ventricular contraction (physiological pacing). Objectives To compare cardiac synchronization, technical characteristics, and electronic parameters between two techniques of indirect His-bundle pacing: non-selective (NS-HBP) vs para-Hisian pacing (PHP). Methods The experimental intervention (between November 2019 and April 2020) consisted of implanting a DDD pacemaker in patients who had left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) > 35%. The resulting cardiac synchronization was compared using an electrocardiographic algorithm that analyzed QRS variation and the technical characteristics of non-selective Hisian pacing (DDD-His) and para-Hisian pacing (DDD-Var). Results Of 51 total patients (men: 28), 66.7% (34) were allocated to the DDD-Var group and 33.3% (17) to the DDD-His group. The mean ages in each group were 74 and 79 years, respectively. In the DDD-Var group, QRS variation (ventricular synchrony) improved after implantation (p < 0.001). In post-implantation ECG, 91.2% of the DDD-Var group presented a physiological pacing pattern, which was similar to the DDD-His group (88.2%; p = 0.999). The paced QRS axis was also similar (physiological) for both groups. Intraoperative fluoroscopy time (XRay) during implantation was lower for the para-Hisian technique (median 7 min in the DDD-Var group vs 21 min in the DDD-His group, p < 0.001). The mean QRS duration increased in the DDD-Var group (114.7 ms pre-implantation vs 128.2 ms post-implantation, p = 0.044). The mean post-implantation R-wave amplitude was 11.2 mV in the DDD-Var group vs 6.0 mV in the DDD-His group, p = 0.001. Conclusion Para-Hisian pacing appears to indirectly recruit the His bundle, which would make this an effective and comparable strategy for physiological pacing, resulting in synchronous ventricular contraction similar to that of non-selective Hisian pacing.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Fundamento: Nas últimas décadas, o número de dispositivos eletrônicos cardíacos implantáveis (DCEI) aumentou consideravelmente, assim como a necessidade de remoção destes. Neste contexto, a remoção percutânea apresenta-se como uma técnica segura e capaz de evitar uma cirurgia cardíaca convencional. Objetivos: Primário: descrever a taxa de sucesso e complicações da remoção percutânea de DCEI em um hospital público brasileiro. Secundário: estabelecer preditores de sucesso e complicações. Métodos: Serie de casos retrospectiva de todos os pacientes submetidos à remoção de DCEI em um hospital público brasileiro no período de janeiro de 2013 a junho de 2018. Remoção, explante e extração de eletrodos, complicações e desfechos foram definidos conforme a diretriz norte-americana de 2017. Variáveis categóricas foram comparadas pelos testes Qui-quadrado ou Fisher, enquanto variáveis contínuas, por testes não pareados. O nível de significância adotado nas análises estatísticas foi de 5%. Resultados: 61 pacientes foram submetidos à remoção de DCEI, sendo 51 extrações e 10 explantes. No total, 128 eletrodos foram removidos. Taxa de sucesso clínico foi 100% no grupo do explante e 90,2% no da extração (p=0,58). Complicações maiores foram encontradas em 6,6% dos pacientes. Falha do procedimento foi associada a eletrodos de ventrículo (p=0,05) e átrio (p=0,04) direito implantados há mais tempo. Duração do procedimento (p=0,003) e necessidade de transfusão sanguínea (p<0,001) foram associadas a maior índice de complicação. Conclusão: As taxas de complicação e sucesso clínico observadas foram de 11,5% e 91,8%, respectivamente. Remoções de eletrodos atriais e ventriculares mais antigos estiveram associados a menores taxa de sucesso. Procedimentos mais longos e necessidade de transfusão sanguínea foram associados a complicações.


Abstract Background: In the last decade, the number of cardiac electronic devices has risen considerably and consequently the occasional need for their removal. Concurrently, the transvenous lead removal became a safe procedure that could prevent open-heart surgery. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to describe the successful performance and the complication rates of pacemaker removals in a Brazilian public hospital. Our secondary aim was to describe the variables associated to successes and complications. Methods: A retrospective case series was conducted in patients submitted to pacemaker removal in a Brazilian public hospital from January 2013 to June 2018. Removal, explant, extraction, success and complication rates were defined by the 2017 Heart Rhythm Society Guideline. Categorical variables were compared using x2 or Fisher's tests, while continuous variables were compared by unpaired tests. A p-value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Cardiac device removals were performed in 61 patients, of which 51 were submitted to lead extractions and 10 to lead explants. In total, 128 leads were removed. Our clinical success rate was 100% in the explant group and 90.2% in the extraction one (p=0.58). Major complications were observed in 6.6% patients. Procedure failure was associated to older right ventricle (p=0.05) and atrial leads (p=0,04). Procedure duration (p=0.003) and need for blood transfusion (p<0,001) were associated to more complications. Conclusion: Complications and clinical success were observed in 11.5% and 91.8% of the population, respectively. Removal of older atrial and ventricular leads were associated with lower success rates. Longer procedures and blood transfusions were associated with complications.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Los trastornos de la repolarización ventricular son manifestaciones comunes de una amplia variedad de situaciones, entre las que se incluye la memoria cardíaca; un fenómeno no reconocido frecuentemente en la práctica diaria. La gravedad de cada una de estas causas es muy variable; sin embargo, el diagnóstico definitivo de cada una de ellas no siempre es evidente. Se presenta el caso de un paciente que acude al servicio de urgencias con dolor torácico y ondas T negativas profundas en el electrocardiograma, que simulan una isquemia miocárdica grave, y que fue definido como memoria eléctrica cardíaca.


ABSTRACT The abnormalities in ventricular repolarization are common manifestations of several conditions, among these, we can include cardiac memory, a frequently unrecognized phenomenon in medical practice. The severity of each of these causes is variable; nonetheless, a definitive diagnosis of each of them is not always evident. We present the case of a patient admitted at the emergency room with chest pain and deeply inverted T waves in the electrocardiogram, mimicking a severe myocardial ischemia, which was defined as cardiac electrical memory.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: en una unidad de electrofisiología de un hospital de tercer nivel de Manizales, Caldas, se han atendido pacientes en la cuarta edad; sin embargo, existe poca claridad en la literatura sobre las conductas terapéuticas en este grupo etario. Presentamos nuestra experiencia de atención e intervención en pacientes mayores de 80 años entre el 20 de septiembre de 2017 y 7 de octubre de 2019. Métodos: estudio tipo cohorte longitudinal, se recogió información con base en revisión de historias clínicas. Se realizaron seguimientos telefónicos al tercer y sexto mes del procedimiento. Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 80 años intervenidos de cualquier procedimiento en la sala de electrofisiología. Se excluyeron los pacientes sin información sobre los datos de seguimiento. Resultados: se recogieron datos de 75 pacientes llevados a procedimiento. El 62.7% de los pacientes fueron hombres, las edades oscilaron entre 80 y 95 años. 32.7%, de pacientes con diagnóstico de disfunción sinusal. La comorbilidad más prevalente fue hipertensión arterial (92%). El procedimiento más realizado fue el implante de marcapaso bicameral. La mediana del tiempo de estancia hospitalaria fue de 1 día. EL 70% de los pacientes tuvieron riesgo medio o bajo según la escala CHA2DS2VASc. En el lapso de seis meses se encontró una incidencia acumulada de complicaciones de 4%, con 8% de reconsultas y una mortalidad de 1.3%. Conclusiones: las complicaciones posquirúrgicas, la necesidad y duración de la hospitalización, la tasa de reconsulta y la mortalidad asociada a los procedimientos en este grupo de edad son similares a las observadas en estudios con población menor de 80 años.


Abstract Introduction: fourth age patients have been cared for in the electrophysiology unit of a tertiary care hospital in Manizales, Caldas; however, there is little clarity in the literature regarding therapeutic conduct in this age group. We present our experience of care and intervention in patients over the age of 80 between September 20, 2017 and October 7, 2019. Methods: a longitudinal cohort study in which data was collected from a chart review. Telephone follow up was performed three and six months after the procedure. Patients over the age of 80 who had undergone any procedure in the electrophysiology lab were included. Patients without follow up information were excluded. Results: data were collected on 75 patients undergoing a procedure: 62.7% of the patients were men, ages ranged from 80 to 95, and 32.7% of the patients had a diagnosis of sinus dysfunction. The most prevalent comorbidity was arterial hypertension (92%). The most frequently performed procedure was dual chamber pacemaker implantation. The median hospital stay was one day. Seventy percent of the patients had a medium or low risk according to the CHA2DS2-VASc scale. Over a six-month period, a 4% cumulative incidence of complications was found, with 8% reconsultation and 1.3% mortality. Conclusions: postsurgical complications, the need for and length of hospitalization, the rate of reconsultation and the mortality associated with procedures in this age group are similar to those seen in studies of populations under 80 years old.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: El aumento de los implantes de dispositivos de estimulación cardiaca en los últimos años, aunado a la longevidad y al perfil de morbilidad de los pacientes, ha hecho que la incidencia de infecciones asociadas a estos procedimientos aumente. Sin embargo, existe disparidad en Colombia y en el mundo respecto al esquema apropiado de profilaxis antibiótica. Objetivo: Evaluar la incidencia de infecciones postoperatorias con dos protocolos de antibiótico-profilaxia. Métodos: Ensayo clínico controlado aleatorizado en el que se incluyeron 360 pacientes que recibieron implante de dispositivos cardíacos y fueron aleatorizados en dos grupos para recibir una dosis de antibiótico (cefazolina 1 g) (240 pacientes) o tres dosis (120 pacientes). Se realizó seguimiento durante un año. El desenlace principal fue la incidencia de infecciones postoperatorias. Resultados: No se observó una diferencia significativa entre la incidencia de infección postoperatoria en los dos grupos (tres dosis vs. una dosis: OR crudo 0.92; IC95% 0.23 - 3.64; p 0.912), con una tasa de 2.9% (7/238) en el grupo de una dosis y de 2.7% (3/110) en el grupo de tres dosis. Tras el análisis multivariado se identificó a la enfermedad renal crónica como un predictor independiente para el desarrollo de complicaciones infecciosas (OR ajustado 4.71; IC95% 1,13 - 19,60). Conclusión: El uso de un protocolo de única dosis de antibiótico profiláctico una hora antes del implante de dispositivos de estimulación cardiaca parece no ser inferior al protocolo de tres dosis postoperatorias.


Abstract Introduction: The increase in implantable cardiac stimulation devices in the last few years, along with the longevity and morbidity characteristics of the patient, has led to an increase in infections associated with these procedures. However, there are differences in Colombia and in the rest of the world as regards a suitable antibiotic prophylaxis scheme. Objective: To evaluate the incidence of post-operative infections with two antibiotic prophylaxis protocols. Methods: A controlled, randomised clinical trial was performed, in which 360 patients that had received a cardiac device implant were randomised into two groups: one with 240 patients to receive one dose of antibiotic (1 g cephazolin), and another of 120 patients to receive 3 doses. The patients were followed-up for one year. The primary outcome was the incidence of post-operative infections. Results: No significant difference was observed in the incidence of post-operative infections between the two groups (three doses versus one dose: crude OR, 0.92; 95% CI; 0.23 - 3.64; P = .912), with a rate of 2.9% (7/238) in the one-dose group, and 2.7% (3/110) in the three-dose group. After the multivariate analysis, chronic kidney disease was identified as an independent predictor of developing infectious complications (adjusted OR = 4.71; 95% CI; 1.13 - 19.60). Conclusion: The use of a single-dose prophylaxis antibiotic protocol one hour before the implantation of cardiac stimulator devices does not appear to be inferior to the three-dose post-operative protocol.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Las infecciones por los dispositivos cardiovasculares son cada vez más frecuentes. Se presenta el caso de un hombre de 62 años edad con fiebre y toma del estado general, que había sido intervenido hacía siete años para la implantación de un marcapasos. En los complementarios se observaron leucocitosis y hemoglobina por debajo de 10 g/L; y en el ecocardiograma, un electrodo de marcapaso en cavidades derechas con múltiples masas ecodensas que indicaban endocarditis infecciosa. Se realizó extracción quirúrgica del dispositivo y cultivo de muestras de las vegetaciones, con aislamiento de Pseudomonas spp. Se administró terapia antimicrobiana sobre la base del antibiograma y el paciente evolucionó satisfactoriamente. Se debe pensar en esta enfermedad ante todo paciente con marcapasos que presente fiebre y sintomatología general, una vez que se han descartado otros posibles focos de infección; además, se debe actuar rápido para lograr un tratamiento adecuado.


ABSTRACT Infections due to cardiovascular devices are becoming more frequent. Here is presented the case of a 62-year-old male patient with fever and poor general condition, who had been intervened seven years ago for the implantation of a pacemaker. In the blood tests, leukocytosis and hemoglobin below 10 g/L were observed. The echocardiogram showed a pacemaker electrode in the right cavities with multiple echo-dense masses indicating infectious endocarditis. A surgical extraction of the device was performed as well as culture of vegetation samples with the isolation of Pseudomonas spp. An antimicrobial therapy was provided on the basis of the antibiogram, and the patient progressed satisfactorily. This clinical entity should be considered in any patient with a pacemaker who presents fever and general symptoms, once other possible sources of infection are ruled out; in addition to acting quickly in order to achieve an adequate treatment.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Implantation of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED), including permanent pacemakers (PM), implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices, has increased significantly over the past several years. However, limited data exists regarding temporal trends of CIED implantations in Asian population. This study aimed to investigate temporal trends of CIED treatment in Korea. METHODS: Using the National Health Insurance Service database of the entire Korean adult population, temporal trends of CIED procedures between 2009 and 2016 were evaluated. Additionally, temporal changes in the prevalence of patients' comorbidities were evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 35,421 CIED procedures (new implantations: 27,771, replacements: 7,650) were performed during the study period. The mean age of new CIED recipients and the prevalence of comorbidities, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, stroke, and atrial fibrillation, increased substantially with time. Compared to 2009, the number of new implantations of PM, ICD, and CRT devices increased by 2.0 (1,977 to 3,910), 3.6 (230 to 822), and 4.9 (44 to 217) times in 2016, respectively. The annual new implantation rate of CIED also increased accordingly (5.1 to 9.3 for PM, 0.6 to 1.9 for ICD, and 0.1 to 0.5 for CRT devices, per 100,000 persons). CONCLUSIONS: The number of CIED implantation increased substantially from 2009 to 2016 in Korea. Also, the patients with CIED have been changed to be older and have more comorbidities. Therefore, the burden of health care cost in patients with CIED would be expected to increase in the future.

ABSTRACT

As doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) se constituem no mais relevante problema de saúde pública em todo o mundo por serem as principais causas de morbimortalidade, gerando um elevado ônus econômico e social aos países. Neste contexto, como consequência deste grupo de enfermidades ou em virtude de outras causas que acometem o funcionamento do coração, os casos de insuficiência cardíaca têm aumentado, especialmente aqueles que ocorrem devido a falhas ou distúrbios do sistema elétrico do coração. Assim, uma das abordagens terapêuticas para a disfuncionalidade deste sistema elétrico é o implante de dispositivos cardíacos eletrônicos. Alguns estudos têm apontado o perfil sociodemográfico e clínico dos pacientes submetidos a tal procedimento, entretanto, eles são pontuais e não refletem possíveis tendências temporais em decorrência das transições demográfica e epidemiológica. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as características sociodemográficas e clínicas dos pacientes submetidos ao implante de marcapasso e cardiodesfibrilador implantável. Para tal, foi conduzido um estudo transversal com 2.763 pacientes adultos (≥ 18 anos) que se submeteram ao implante de dispositivo cardíaco eletrônico no período compreendido entre 01 de janeiro de 2007 a 31 de dezembro de 2017 em um hospital de ensino da cidade de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. O perfil sociodemográfico e clínico dos pacientes foi caracterizado por meio da distribuição de frequências absolutas e relativas das variáveis de interesse para o período, bem como para cada ano da série histórica. Uma análise de tendência linear foi conduzida para avaliar as alterações significativas das características dos participantes ao longo do tempo. A maioria dos participantes era do sexo feminino, com idades ≥ 18 anos, pardos, casados/união estável, com nível médio de escolaridade e provenientes de cidades do interior do Estado de Minas Gerais. Com relação a estas características, houve um aumento da proporção de pacientes idosos, casados/união estável e de divorciados, com nível médio de escolaridade e provenientes de Belo Horizonte ao longo do período analisado. Clinicamente, predominaram pacientes com doenças arritmogênicas, classe II de insuficiência cardíaca na classificação da New York Heart Association (NYHA), que receberam implantes de marcapasso e ativos no serviço. Com relação a estas características, houve um aumento proporcional de pacientes com doenças estruturais do coração, classe III de insuficiência cardíaca na classificação NYHA, que receberam implantes de outros tipos de dispositivos que não o marcapasso, ativos no serviço. Ademais, houve diminuição da proporção de óbitos no período analisado. Conclui-se que o perfil sociodemográfico e clínico dos pacientes que foram submetidos a implantes de dispositivos cardíacos eletrônicos variaram ao longo do tempo, acompanhando as modificações semelhantes observadas com as transições demográfica e epidemiológica. Portanto, os serviços e as equipes de saúde de todos os níveis da rede de atenção devem estar atentos a estas mudanças e, no caso da Enfermagem, propor ações de promoção da saúde e prevenção de DCV, a fim de reduzir o impacto deste grupo de enfermidades para a saúde pública brasileira.(AU)


Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) constitute the most relevant public health problem worldwide because they are the main causes of morbidity and mortality, generating a high economic and social burden to countries. In this context, as consequence of this group of diseases or due to other causes that affect the functioning of the heart, cases of heart failure have increased, especially those that occur due to failures or disturbances of the electrical system of the heart. Thus, one of the therapeutic approaches to dysfunctionality of this electrical system is the implantation of electronic heart devices. Some studies have pointed out the sociodemographic and clinical profile of patients undergoing this procedure; however, they are punctual and do not reflect possible temporal trends due to demographic and epidemiological transitions. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing pacemaker implantation and implantable cardiodefibrillator. To this end, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 2,763 adult patients (≥ 18 years) who underwent electronic heart device implantation from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2017 at a teaching hospital in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Regarding these characteristics, there was an increase in the proportion of elderly patients, married / stable union and divorced, with average level of education and coming from Belo Horizonte over the analyzed period. Clinically, patients with arrhythmogenic diseases class II heart failure predominated in the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, who received pacemaker implants and active in the service. Regarding these characteristics, there was a proportional increase in patients with structural heart disease, class III heart failure in NYHA classification, who received implants from other types of pacemaker devices, active in the service. In addition, there was a decrease in the proportion of deaths in the analyzed period. It was concluded that the sociodemographic and clinical profile of patients who underwent implantation of electronic heart devices varied over time, following similar changes observed with demographic and epidemiological transitions. Therefore, health services and teams at all levels of the care network should be aware of these changes and, in the case of nursing, propose actions for health promotion and prevention of CVD in order to reduce the impact of this group. diseases for Brazilian public health(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the factors influencing the implantation of permanent pacemaker in patients after cardiac surgery, and the timing and approach of pacemaker for early implantation. Methods Patients undergoing permanent pacemaker implantation (excluding implanted defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization therapy) after cardiac surgery between Jan. 2007 and Dec. 2016 were retrospectively enrolled, and their clinical data were collected, including gender, age, clinical diagnosis, preoperative heart rhythm, type of cardiac surgery, indication of pacemaker implantation, duration from cardiac surgery to pacemaker implantation, and type of permanent pacemaker. According to the time between cardiac surgery and pacemaker implantation, the patients were divided into three groups: early group (≤1 month), midterm group (1 month to 1 year) and long-term group (>1 year). The type of cardiac surgery and the indication of pacemaker implantation were compared between the three groups. Results A total of 103 patients were included in this study, among which 86 cases received valvular surgery, 9 received surgery for congenital heart disease, and 8 received coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Twenty-two patients (21.36%) had sick sinus atrial node syndrome, and 81 patients (78.64%) had atrioventricular block. Sixty-eight cases (66.02%) had grade III or advanced atrioventricular block, including 29 (28.16%) atrial fibrillation with long RR interval, and 13 cases (12.62%) had atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular rate. Twenty-sevenpatients (26.21%) were included in the early group, 16 patients (15.53%) in the mid-term group, and 60 patients (58.25%) in the long-term group. There were no significant differences in the proportions of aortic valve surgery, double valve surgery or more complex surgery (including valve replacement or valve plasty) between the three groups (all P>0.05). The proportion of atrioventricular block was higher among the pacemaker implantation indications, and the difference in the proportion of atrioventricular block among the three groups was statistically significant (χ2=6.089, P=0.048). The average time between surgery and implantation of patients in the early group was (13.43±7.24) d, and the major approach for implanting electrode leads was elective percutaneous endocardial implantation after surgery (25 cases), occasionally the electrode leads was implanted during the surgery (one case of endocardial leads and one case of epicardial leads). Conclusion Atrioventricular block is the most common indication of permanent pacemaker implantation after cardiac surgery. Reasonable time is required for recovery of atrioventricular conduction or sinus node function before early implantation. Major approach for implanting endocardial leads is elective percutaneous endocardial implantation; if necessary, endocardial or epicardial leads can be implanted during surgery.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine nurses' knowledge levels and educational needs related to an artificial pacemaker. METHODS: Participants were 100 nurses working in cardiovascular departments from two university hospitals in Seoul. This study was a descriptive study using a survey for estimating knowledge levels and educational needs related to an artificial pacemaker among nurses. Data were analyzed by SPSS 23.0 program using frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation, t-test, and ANOVA. RESULTS: Nurses' knowledge levels were significantly different depending on working units (F=3.32, p=.014) and years of clinical experience (F=2.85, p=.042). Nurses who received education about an artificial pacemaker were higher in the knowledge level of complications after an implantation procedure (t=3.45, p < .001) than nurses who did not receive the education. CONCLUSION: Discharge education is critical for patients with artificial pacemaker implantation to go back to their daily activities. When developing artificial pacemaker education program for hospital nurses, factors such as nurses' working department and years of clinical experience years and updated information of an artifical pacemaker need to be considered.

ABSTRACT

La ataxia-telangiectasia es una entidad caracterizada por un cuadro de ataxia cerebelosa progresiva, telangiectasias, defectos inmunológicos y una mayor tendencia al desarrollo de tumores malignos. La mutación genética responsable (ataxia-telangiectasia mutada) parece jugar un papel importante en la función celular normal y el remodelado cardiovascular. Se describe la aparición de una arritmia maligna en un paciente de 14 años con un diagnóstico de ataxia-telangiectasia, en remisión completa de linfoma no Hodgkin B de alto grado. Consultó en el Servicio de Urgencias Pediátricas por episodios de presíncope, y se observó, al ingresar, bloqueo auriculoventricular completo que evolucionó hacia asistolia, por lo que requirió la colocación de un marcapasos definitivo. Las dosis acumuladas de fármacos cardiotóxicos recibidos fueron de bajo riesgo. Sin embargo, es posible que esta enfermedad degenerativa crónica afecte con el tiempo al tejido de citoconducción. En la bibliografía revisada, no existen o se desconocen reportes previos de arritmias malignas en pacientes con ataxia-telangiectasia.


Ataxia-telangiectasia is a disorder characterized by cerebellar ataxia, telangiectasia, immunodeficiency, and increased predisposition to cancer susceptibility. Mutations in the ataxia telangiectasia mutated gene seem to play an important role in normal cell function and in cardiovascular remodeling. We report a case of a 14-year-old boy with ataxia-telangiectasia and high-grade B-non-Hodgkin lymphoma who remained in continuous complete remission after chemotherapy and who was admitted into our Emergency Room presenting with episodes of presyncope. At admission he presented a complete atrioventricular block that evolved into asystole and required placement of a pacemaker. Cumulative cardiotoxic drugs received were at low risk. However, it is possible that this chronic degenerative disease may affect the cardiac conduction system over time. In the reviewed literature there are no or unknown reports of ataxia-telangiectasia with malignant cardiac arrhythmias.
