ABSTRACT

Introdução: o plantão psicológico é uma modalidade de atenção psicológica que se caracteriza pela oferta de uma escuta clínica especializada no exato momento em que o sujeito vivencia uma crise. Essa prontidão na acolhida dialoga com as necessidades do sujeito contemporâneo que, imerso num cenário de indisponibilidade de tempo e afeto, encontra no plantão um lugar de referência com o qual poderá contar para o cuidado em saúde mental. Objetivo: analisar a produção científica sobre o plantão psicológico do período de 2017 a 2021. Metodologia: trata-se de um estudo descritivo-exploratório de abordagem quali-quanti acerca das publicações sobre o plantão psicológico indexadas no Portal de Periódicos da CAPES. Resultados: foram encontrados 34 artigos, dos quais 19, por atenderem aos critérios de elegibilidade estabelecidos, integraram este estudo. A produção científica sobre o plantão psicológico vem sendo desenvolvida nos serviços-escola das instituições universitárias, publicadas em veículos de expressiva qualidade, com maior concentração de estudos na região sul do Brasil e com predomínio de pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e relatos de experiência. Em relação à temática abordada, foram identificados três núcleos de sentidos: fundamentação teórica do plantão a partir de uma abordagem específica, plantão como prática clínica na formação profissional em psicologia e características dos sujeitos que demandam a clínica do plantão. Conclusão: constatou-se que os estudos sobre o plantão têm trilhado caminhos diversos, incluindo várias abordagens teóricas e práticas em contextos distintos, com destaque para os serviços-escola das universidades, lugar de concepção dessa modalidade clínica e onde se pode fazer a diferença na formação de profissionais comprometidos ética e politicamente com os sujeitos em situação de angústia/sofrimento psíquico, que têm, no plantão, portas abertas para serem escutados, de modo a compreenderem seus problemas e atribuírem novos significados às suas experiências.


Introduction: the psychological 'on duty' is a type of psychological care that is characterized by the provision of specialized clinical listening, at the exact moment when the subject experiences a crisis. This readiness in welcoming dialogues with the needs of the contemporary subject who, immersed in a scenario of unavailability of time and affection, finds, on duty, a place of reference on which he can count on mental health care. Objective: to analyze the scientific production on psychological duty in the period from 2017 to 2021. Methodology: tis a descriptive-exploratory study with a quali-quanti approach about the publications on psychological duty indexed in the CAPES Journal Portal. Results: a total of 34 articles were found, of which 19, as they met the established eligibility criteria, were part of this study. Scientific production on psychological duty has been developed in the teaching services of university institutions, published in vehicles of expressive quality, with a greater concentration of studies in the southern region of Brazil and with a predominance of qualitative research and experience reports. Regarding the topic addressed, three core meanings were identified: the theoretical foundation of the on-duty from a specific approach, on-duty as clinical practice in professional training in psychology and characteristics of the subjects who demand the on-duty clinic. Conclusion: it was found that studies on the on-duty have followed different paths, including several theoretical and practical approaches, in different contexts, with emphasis on university school services, the place where this clinical modality is conceived and where a difference can be made in training of professionals who are ethically and politically committed to subjects in situations of anguish/psychic suffering, who have, on duty, open doors to be listened to, in order to understand their problems and attribute new meanings to their experiences.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: un aumento marcado de la tensión arterial puede llevar a una crisis hipertensiva, que consiste en una elevación considerable de la tensión arterial (>180 mmHg en sístole y >120 mmHg en diástole). De no ser tratada, puede llevar a la pérdida progresiva de la conciencia, así como provocar daños irreversibles a algún órgano blanco, por ejemplo, el hígado, el riñón o el cerebro. Se puede clasifcar en urgencia o emergencia hipertensiva. Así, una urgencia hipertensiva se presenta cuando el paciente cuenta con cifras elevadas en la tensión arterial sin provocar daño a un órgano blanco y, en contraparte, una emergencia hipertensiva cumple con las cifras que se mencionaron, pero incluye daño a un órgano blanco. Objetivo: presentar un caso clínico, en el cual, durante la extracción quirúrgica de una aguja fracturada, en el período transoperatorio, el paciente sufre síncope vasovagal, con un aumento marcado de la tensión arterial (179/119 mmHg). Conclusión: este fue un diagnóstico intraoperatorio de crisis hipertensiva y la paciente recibió un tratamiento médico temprano por parte del servicio de urgencias médicas, lo cual resultó en una evolución trans y postoperatoria adecuada.


A marked increase in blood pressure can lead to a hypertensive crisis, it can be classifed as an urgency or hypertensive emergency, which consists of a considerable increase in blood pressure (> 180 mmHg in systole and> 120 mmHg in diastole) and that, not being treated can lead to progressive loss of consciousness, as well as cause irreversible damage to the liver, kidney or brain. The objective of this article is to present a clinical case that during the surgical extraction of a fractured needle, in the intraoperative period the patient sufers vasovagal syncope, with a marked increase in blood pressure (179/119 mmHg), intraoperative diagnosis of crisis hypertensive, receiving early medical treatment from the emergency medical service, resulting in an adequate trans and postoperative evolution.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo é um relato de experiência cujo objetivo é refletir sobre a atuação de uma psicóloga no contexto da urgência e emergência no hospital a partir da psicologia jungiana. Utilizou-se como método o recurso da sistematização da experiência, que consiste em sua interpretação crítica, cujo foco é o ordenamento e a reconstrução das experiências para explicitar a lógica do processo vivido. Por meio da reflexão de situações clínicas foi possível proporcionar um lugar para a subjetividade diante do disruptivo e da objetividade institucional do hospital. Teoricamente, o texto descreve as experiências de atendimento hospitalar, espaço em que urge o inesperado e o desconhecido. Aposta-se no simbolismo como movimento da psique para lidar com aquilo que o sujeito ainda não pode nomear, significar, incluindo a vulnerabilidade, as perdas e a questão da morte e do luto, este entendido como a ruptura de um vínculo. Dessa forma, a psicologia analítica se volta para como a entrada no hospital e a fugacidade do contexto de urgência e emergência afetam a psique dos sujeitos atendidos e de que forma esse psiquismo reage às vivências disruptivas e inesperadas.(AU)


This work is an experience report whose objective is to reflect on the role of a psychologist in the context of urgency and emergency in the hospital from the perspective of Jungian psychology. The resource of systematization of the experience was used as method, which consists of a critical interpretation, whose focus is the ordering and reconstruction of experiences to explain the logic of the process experienced. With the reflection of clinical situations, it was possible to provide a place for subjectivity in the face of the disruptive and the institutional objectivity of the hospital. Theoretically, the text describes the experience of entry in a hospital, a place in which the unexpected and the unknown are faced. We believe on symbolism as a movement of the psyche to deal with what the patient cannot yet name or give a meaning, including vulnerability, losses, and the issue of death and grief, this last one understood as the rupture of a link. Thus, analytical psychology will focus on how the entry in a hospital and the fleetingness of the emergency context affect the psyche of the patients and how this psyche reacts to the disruptive and unexpected experiences.(AU)

El método utilizado fue el recurso de sistematización de la experiencia, que consiste en una interpretación crítica, cuyo enfoque es el ordenamiento y reconstrucción de experiencias para explicar la lógica del proceso vivido. A partir del reflejo de situaciones clínicas se logró dar lugar a la subjetividad frente a la objetividad institucional del hospital. Teóricamente se describen las vivencias en la atención hospitalaria, un espacio donde se encuentra lo inesperado y lo desconocido. Se considera el simbolismo como un movimiento de la psique para lidiar con lo que el sujeto aún no puede nombrar, incluidas la vulnerabilidad, las pérdidas y el tema de la muerte y el dolor, este último comprendido como un quiebre del vínculo. De esta manera, la psicología analítica se centrará en cómo la admisión al hospital y la fugacidad del contexto de emergencia afectan la psique de los sujetos atendidos y cómo esta psique reacciona a estas experiencias disruptivas e inesperadas.(AU)

ABSTRACT

O hospital constitui-se como um contexto em que a urgência subjetiva pode vir a se apresentar de forma frequente, instaurando, para cada sujeito, uma vivência de angústia. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar as possibilidades para uma clínica das urgências subjetivas no contexto de um hospital universitário em Salvador, considerando as vivências em uma residência multiprofissional. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de caráter exploratório, em que se realizou revisão teórica sobre o tema e se construiu um caso clínico, sob orientação psicanalítica. A escolha do caso baseou-se na escuta clínica ao longo dos atendimentos e da atuação em equipe multiprofissional, considerando os impasses ao longo do tratamento. Foram utilizados registros documentais produzidos pela psicóloga residente ao longo dos atendimentos, que ocorreram durante três meses. Os resultados apontam para as contribuições da escuta psicanalítica no tratamento das urgências e na atuação em equipe multiprofissional no contexto hospitalar. A subjetivação da urgência permitiu, no caso em questão, um tratamento pela palavra do que havia incidido diretamente no corpo como fenômeno. Conclui-se pela relevância em discutir o tema da urgência e suscitar novas pesquisas, reintroduzindo no contexto hospitalar a questão sobre a subjetividade.(AU)


Hospitals are contexts in which subjective urgency can frequently materialize, triggering an experience of anguish for each subject. Hence, this research investigates the possibilities of establishing a subjective urgency clinic at a university hospital in Salvador, considering the experiences in a multidisciplinary residence. A qualitative, exploratory research was conducted by means of a theoretical review on the topic and construction of a clinical case, under psychoanalytical advisement. The case was chosen based on clinical listening during the sessions and performance in a multidisciplinary team, considering the obstacles for long-term treatment. Data were collected from documentary records produced by the resident psychologist during three months. Results point to the contributions of psychoanalytic listening to treating subjective urgencies and to the performance of a multidisciplinary team in the hospital context. In the case in question, subjectivation of urgency allowed a treatment through the word of affecting phenomenon. In conclusion, discussing urgency and conducting further research, are fundamental to reintroduce subjectivity in the hospital context.(AU)

El objetivo de esta investigación fue investigar las posibilidades de una clínica de urgencia subjetiva en el contexto de un hospital universitario en Salvador (Brasil), considerando las experiencias en una Residencia Multiprofesional. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa, de carácter exploratorio, en la que se realizó una revisión teórica sobre el tema y construcción de un caso clínico, con orientación psicoanalítica. La elección del caso se basó en la escucha clínica a lo largo de las sesiones y actuación en un equipo multidisciplinar, considerando los impasses para el tratamiento a largo plazo. Se utilizaron registros documentales elaborados por el psicólogo residente, durante las atenciones, que se realizaron durante tres meses. Los resultados apuntan a las contribuciones de la escucha psicoanalítica en el tratamiento de urgencias y en la actuación de un equipo multidisciplinario en el contexto hospitalario. La subjetivación de la urgencia permitió, en el caso en cuestión, un tratamiento a través de la palabra de lo que había afectado directamente al cuerpo como fenómeno. Se concluye que es relevante discutir el tema de la urgencia y plantear nuevas investigaciones, reintroduciendo el tema de la subjetividad en el contexto hospitalario.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: En la actualidad el aumento de la población envejecida, asociado al desarrollo de la anestesiología, la cirugía y los cuidados intensivos ha generado un incremento del número de adultos mayores con abdomen agudo, que requieren tratamiento quirúrgico con urgencia, no exentos de complicaciones. Se realizó una revisión en bases de datos bibliográficas y se seleccionaron 25 documentos en idioma inglés y español. Objetivo: Analizar las características esenciales que identifican a los pacientes adultos mayores con complicaciones quirúrgicas infecciosas tras cirugía abdominal de urgencia. Desarrollo: En el plano biológico suceden cambios por reducción de la reserva fisiológica del adulto mayor: respiratorios, cardiovasculares, genitourinarios, digestivos, endocrino-metabólicos y del equilibrio ácido-base, que los hacen vulnerables al estrés quirúrgico. Las complicaciones posoperatorias constituyen un importante indicador de calidad: retardan la evolución de la enfermedad, prolongan la estadía hospitalaria e incrementan los índices de morbilidad y mortalidad de modo significativo en enfermos de este grupo etario. Conclusiones: A pesar del aumento del número de adultos mayores con abdomen agudo que requieren tratamiento quirúrgico con urgencia, la edad no debe considerarse como una limitante para efectuar la operación. Además del tratamiento específico y preventivo de las complicaciones tras cirugía abdominal de urgencia, las comorbilidades y la fragilidad presentes en estos pacientes requieren adecuada compensación preoperatoria, operatoria y posoperatoria, a fin de garantizar la evolución satisfactoria de estos enfermos.


Introduction: Currently, the increase in the aging population associated with the development of anesthesiology, surgery and intensive care has generated an increase in the number of older adults with acute abdomen requiring urgent surgical treatment. A review was carried out in bibliographic databases, and 25 documents were selected in English and Spanish. Objective: To analyze the clinical, epidemiological and therapeutic characteristics that identify older adult patients with infectious surgical complications after emergency abdominal surgery. Development: At the biological level, changes occur due to the reduction of the physiological reserve of the elderly: respiratory, cardiovascular, genitourinary, digestive, endocrine-metabolic and acid-base balance that makes them vulnerable to surgical stress. Postoperative complications are an important indicator of quality: they delay the evolution of the disease, prolong hospital stay and significantly increase morbidity and mortality rates in patients of this age group. Conclusions: Despite the increase in the number of older adults with acute abdomen who require urgent surgical treatment, age should not be considered as a limitation to perform the operation. In addition to the specific and preventive treatment of complications after emergency abdominal surgery, the comorbidities and frailty present in these patients require adequate preoperative, operative and postoperative compensation, in order to guarantee the satisfactory evolution of these patients.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El trauma es la pandemia que cada año cobra muchas vidas, los avances tecnológicos no han podido detenerla, sin embargo, estos han ayudado en la evaluación más efectiva de los pacientes. La ecografía realizada por médicos no radiólogos se ha convertido en una herramienta necesaria en la evaluación del paciente traumatizado. Objetivo: Describir los conocimientos que debe adquirir el cirujano general para realizar ecografía en la evaluación del trauma. Método: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica del tema en las bases de datos PubMed, BVS-BIREME y Cochrane. Se describió los elementos que tiene que conocer el cirujano general para realizar ecografía en la evaluación del trauma. Se consideraron en la búsqueda todo tipo de estudios publicados desde enero de 1971 hasta diciembre de 2019 a los cuales se tuvo acceso y se realizó la evaluación de la validez interna de la evidencia, así como de su calidad global. Los idiomas utilizados en la búsqueda fueron el español e inglés. Desarrollo: La mayoría de los estudios aceptan a la ecografía como herramienta de evaluación en el trauma y su utilización sistemática por médicos no radiólogos. Conclusiones: Los principios básicos de la ecografía en el trauma tienen que ser parte de las herramientas de un cirujano general del siglo xxi. Los errores más frecuentes, responden a la no realización sistemática y a la falta de entrenamiento. Cada vez son menos las contraindicaciones de la ecografía en el trauma, pero sí es marcada la dependencia del operador(AU)


Introduction: Trauma is the pandemic that every year claims many lives; technological advances have not been able to stop it, but have contributed with the more effective assessment of patients. Ultrasound performed by non-radiologists physicians has become a necessary tool in the assessment of the trauma patient. Objective: To describe the knowledge that the general surgeon should acquire to perform ultrasound for assessing trauma. Methods: A bibliographic review of the subject was carried out in the PubMed, BVS-BIREME and Cochrane databases. The elements that the general surgeon must know in order to perform ultrasound in the assessment of trauma were described. The search considered all types of studies published from January 1971 to December 2019 and that could be accessed; the internal validity of the evidence was assessed, together with its overall quality. The languages used in the search were English and Spanish. Development: Most studies accept ultrasound as an assessment tool in trauma and its systematic use by non-radiologist physicians. Conclusions: The basic principles of ultrasound in trauma have to be part of the tools of a general surgeon of the twenty-first century. The most frequent errors are due to lack of systematic use and lack of training. Contraindications of ultrasound in trauma are progressively less frequent, but there is a marked dependence on the person who operates(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A incontinência urinária (IU) é um frequente distúrbio subnotificado devido ao seu estigma. A prevalência é maior em mulheres, contudo varia de acordo com fatores de risco. Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência de IU e fatores de risco associados em mulheres internadas em unidade cirúrgica de hospital público. Métodos: Estudo transversal, com mulheres internadas em uma unidade cirúrgica de hospital público, no pré e pós-operatório de cirurgias abdominais, com idade acima de 18 anos. Aplicou-se uma ficha de avaliação, coletadas medidas antropométricas e os questionários ICIQ-OAB e ICIQ-SF para avaliar os sintomas de bexiga hiperativa e o impacto da IU na qualidade de vida. Resultados: 42 mulheres, com idade média de 54,5 anos. Alta prevalência de IU na amostra (61,6%) e de urgência e incontinência de urgência, 66,7% e 61,9% respectivamente. O escore para bexiga hiperativa mostrou-se leve; para qualidade de vida na IU e gravidade da perda, o impacto foi moderado. Fatores de risco como raça branca, climatério, autorrelato de IU, constipação, rinite e sinusite, prolapso de bexiga e consumo de cafeína apresentaram associação com IU ou bexiga hiperativa (p < 0,05). Conclusão: Alta prevalência IU e a associação aos diversos fatores de risco são achados importantes para dispor de medidas de avaliação para abordagem da IU, encaminhamentos educacionais e reabilitadores, independentemente do nível de complexidade que o indivíduo esteja inserido.

ABSTRACT

Hypertensive crises is still a major public health problem, causing end organ damage like myocardial infarction, stroke, and renal failure. Labetalol and nitroglycerine are among the two most commonly used medicine to control the blood pressure, but there is no head to head comparison between these two medicines. This was a prospective randomized non-blinded study which included 50 patients of hypertensive crises, out which 25 patients received intravenous labetalol and 25 patients received intravenous nitroglycerine. We found that labetalol controlled the blood pressure more rapidly in comparison to nitroglycerine, without causing any extra side effect

ABSTRACT

O estudo objetivou analisar a produção do acesso da população ribeirinha aos serviços de urgência e emergência em Maués, Amazonas, Brasil, tendo como metodologia a abordagem participativa, uso de mapas falantes e análises das narrativas. Destacou-se a importância do agente comunitário de saúde (ACS) e dos mecanismos de atuação em território ribeirinho, como Unidade Básica de Saúde Fluvial e "ambulanchas". Mas expõe ainda desafios com relação ao transporte sanitário em situações de urgência e emergência e a falta de um profissional de nível superior em território para o atendimento inicial. Além disso, a articulação e a comunicação entre os setores e o processo de referenciamento ainda são deficientes. Assim, é essencial que sejam elaboradas estratégias que integrem os diferentes pontos da Rede, viabilizando essa comunicação e a articulação. E, por meio de encontros com diálogo reflexivo entre a gestão e trabalhadores, sejam pensadas novas estratégias que viabilizem esse acesso.(AU)

The study aimed to analyze the riverside population's access to urgent and emergency services in Maués, Amazonas, Brazil, through the methodology of participatory approach and the analysis of talking maps and narratives. The relevance of the Community Health Agent came was highlighted, as well as the importance of mechanisms to deliver care in the riverside territory, such as the Fluvial Primary Care Unit and launches known as ambulanchas. However, challenges also came to light, like transportation in urgent and emergency situations and lack of a professional with a higher education degree to provide initial care in the territory. In addition, articulation and communication between sectors and the referral process are still deficient. Thus, strategies are needed to integrate the different points of the Healthcare Network, enabling communication and articulation. Moreover, new strategies to promote healthcare access must be developed in meetings between management and workers, grounded on reflective dialogue.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O manejo da cefaleia nas salas de urgência e emergência deve ser baseada em uma anamnese detalhada para que o diagnóstico e tratamento sejam adequados, entretanto não é o que se encontra nos atendimentos. Objetivo: Avaliar o manejo do atendimento das cefaleias em uma sala de Urgência e Emergência. Métodos: Estudo de corte transversal retrospectivo, realizado através da análise de dados de 1317 prontuários eletrônicos de pacientes com queixa de cefaleia que procuraram o serviço de emergência do Hospital Regional de Barbacena durante o período de 01 de janeiro de 2017 a 30 de junho de 2019. Os diagnósticos relatados nos prontuários foram classificados de acordo com os critérios da Classificação Internacional das Cefaleias (ICHD-3). Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatísticas, pelo teste de qui-quadrado. Considerou-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas aquelas cujo valor p≤0,05. Resultados: Do total de prontuários, três foram excluídos, sendo analisados 1314. Entre os prontuários analisados, 73,21% apresentaram diagnósticos iniciais eram cefaleia, 16,67% migrânea e 10,12% cefaleia do tipo tensão. Já no diagnóstico final, cefaleia correspondeu a 59,67%, migrânea a 17,95% e cefaleia do tipo tensão a 8,52%. Em relação ao tratamento, foi receitado opioides para 43,99% dos pacientes e para o restante foram prescritos medicamentos não opioides. Conclusão: O trabalho sugeriu falha no manejo da cefaleia nas salas de urgência e emergência, provavelmente pela limitação do conhecimento dos profissionais de saúde acerca da dor de cabeça. O que acarretou no grande número de diagnósticos inespecíficos e inadequada abordagem terapêutica.


Introduction: Detailed clinical evaluation should be the basis for the proper management of headaches in emergency rooms, in order to allow adequate diagnosis and treatment. However, this is not usually observed on clinical rounds. Objective: To evaluate the management of headache consultations in an emergency rooms. Methods: This is a cross-section study was performed analyzing data from 1,317 electronic medical records of patients with headache complaints who sought treatment at the Barbacena City Regional Hospital's between January 1, 2017, and June 20, 2019. Medical records were classified according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3). The data collected were statistically analyzed using chi-square tests. The study considered a p-value≤0.05 to define statistically significant differences. Results: Three medical records were excluded and 1,314 were analyzed. Among the medical records analyzed, 73.21% of initial diagnoses were classified as headache, 16.67% as migraine, and 10.12% as tension-type headache. Headache corresponded to 59.76% of final diagnoses, migraine to 17.95%, and tension-type headache to 8.52%. Regarding the treatment, 43.99% of patients were prescribed opioids for the remaining were prescribed nonopioid medications. Conclusion: The study suggests that the management of headaches is inadequate in emergency rooms, probably due to limited knowledge of health professionals about headache. This resulted in a large number of nonspecific diagnoses and inadequate therapeutic approaches.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La disección espontánea del tronco o arteria celíaca es una emergencia vascular abdominal inusual, con una incidencia desconocida. Actualmente no existen guías o consensos para su tratamiento, el cual va desde intervenciones vasculares mayores hasta la conducta expectante. Caso clínico. Paciente masculino de 42 años sin antecedentes patológicos, con dolor abdominal intenso de un mes de evolución. Ante la sospecha clínica de patología inflamatoria se realizó una tomografía computarizada abdominal con medio de contraste, en la que se observó una disección del tronco celíaco asociada a un infarto esplénico. Se realizó manejo endovascular de forma exitosa. Discusión. La disección espontánea del tronco celíaco es una patología infrecuente, que puede presentarse en pacientes con hipertensión arterial, tabaquismo, enfermedad ateroesclerótica y vasculitis. Los síntomas más comunes son el dolor abdominal asociado a náuseas y vómito. La sospecha clínica debe ser confirmada mediante estudios imagenológicos que orienten al tratamiento conservador, endovascular o quirúrgico, ante la sospecha de infarto intestinal o ruptura arterial. Conclusiones. La disección espontánea del tronco celíaco es una patología vascular inusual que puede relacionarse con una alta mortalidad. Es importante tener siempre presente la interrelación entre la anatomía vascular abdominal, la anamnesis y el examen físico como elementos claves para realizar este diagnóstico.


Introduction. Spontaneous dissection of the celiac artery or trunk is an unusual abdominal vascular emergency, with an unknown incidence. Currently there are no guidelines or consensus for its treatment, which ranges from major vascular interventions to expectant management. Clinical case. A 42-year-old male patient with no medical history, with intense abdominal pain of one month of evolution. Given the clinical suspicion of inflammatory pathology, an abdominal computed tomography with contrast was performed, in which a dissection of the celiac trunk associated with a splenic infarction was observed. Endovascular management was performed successfully. Discussion. Spontaneous dissection of the celiac trunk is an infrequent pathology, which can occur in patients with high blood pressure, smoking, atherosclerotic disease, and vasculitis. The most common symptoms are abdominal pain associated with nausea and vomiting. Clinical suspicion must be confirmed by imaging studies that guide conservative, endovascular or surgical treatment in the event of suspected intestinal infarction or arterial rupture. Conclusions. Spontaneous dissection of the celiac trunk is an unusual vascular pathology that can be associated with high mortality. It is important to always keep in mind the relationship between the abdominal vascular anatomy, anamnesis, and physical examination as key elements in making this diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O objetivo foi descrever a ocorrência da violência sofrida por profissionais de saúde na Urgência e Emergência de um hospital do norte do país. Identificar a violência no setor de urgência e emergência possibilita gerar informações sobre a realidade de hospitais, o que colabora em sanar tais problemas que ocorram nos mesmos. A metodologia foi de abordagem quantitativa, com a aplicação de questionário com questões sobre violência sofrida e praticada no trabalho e sobre dados das vítimas e dos agressores, junto aos profissionais do centro de urgência e emergência do hospital pesquisado. Os resultados da pesquisa apontaram a conclusão de que o principal autor de violência laboral é o paciente de 31 a 40 anos e as maiores vítimas são as mulheres que trabalham no turno da noite, recebem entre R$ 1.000 e 2.999 e não contam com pós-graduação. Portanto, são necessárias estratégias saneadoras para o problema da violência entre profissionais de saúde.

ABSTRACT

El Síndrome coronario agudo (SCA) se define como la obstrucción brusca de una arteria que puede dar lugar a una isquemia miocárdica aguda que se acompaña de un síndrome clínico característico que puede ir desde una isquemia con elevación o sin elevación en el segmento ST, angina estable o inestable y muerte súbita. Dado que el SCA es considerado un problema mundial por su alta incidencia y una de las principales causas de muerte es que resulta indispensable la creación y aplicación de un protocolo de recepción del paciente con SCA donde el enfermero que recepciona al paciente con dolor torácico en un servicio de urgencia pueda realizar la valoración de forma oportuna y rápida teniendo en cuenta una secuencia de intervenciones y cuidados que se encuentren plasmados en una planilla el cual garantice la implementación de las medidas terapéuticas a tiempo, aumentando la eficacia de las mismas, reduciendo la morbimortalidad y disminuyendo los costos hospitalarios. El objetivo del protocolo es estandarizar las intervenciones y cuidados de enfermería en la atención inicial del paciente con SCA[AU]


Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is defined as a sudden obstruction of an artery that can lead to acute myocardial ischemia that is accompanied by a characteristic clinical syndrome that can range from elevation or without elevation ischemia in the ST segment, angina stable or unstable and sudden death. Ince ACS is considered a worldwide problem due to its high incidence and one of the main causes of death, it is essential to create and apply a protocol for receiving the patient with ACS, where the nurse who receives the patient with chest pain in a The emergency service can carry out the assessment in a timely and fast way, taking into account a sequence of interventions and care that are reflected in a schedule that guarantees the implementation of therapeutic measures in time, increasing their effectiveness, reducing morbidity and mortality. and lowering hospital costs. The objective of the protocol is to standardize nursing interventions and care in the initial care of the patient with ACS[AU]

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El plastrón apendicular es una tumoración inflamatoria constituida por el apéndice inflamado, vísceras adyacentes y epiplón mayor. Puede contener o no pus (absceso/flemón). Objetivo: Precisar si está indicada la apendicectomía de urgencia o de intervalo en los pacientes con plastrón y/o absceso apendicular sometidos a tratamiento no quirúrgico inicial. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión en las bases de datos bibliográficas Web of Science, PubMed, Medline y Lilacs, mediante el motor de búsqueda Google académico. Se seleccionaron 28 artículos en inglés y español; 20 (71,2 por ciento) correspondieron al quinquenio 2016-20 y el 96,4 por ciento de autores extranjeros. Desarrollo: El estándar actual es el tratamiento no quirúrgico inicial del plastrón y el drenaje percutáneo del absceso. La apendicectomía de intervalo tiene un beneficio mínimo y puede conducir a un aumento de los costos, estancia hospitalaria, antibioticoterapia intravenosa y de la morbilidad. Se debe realizar un seguimiento cuidadoso en enfermos con riesgo de enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal o cáncer de colon, sin importar qué opción se elija (operación de intervalo u observación). Conclusiones: La apendicectomía de urgencia no es recomendable porque el componente inflamatorio la hace técnicamente difícil, puede necesitar una colectomía y aumentar la morbilidad, aunque actualmente, la apendicectomía laparoscópica de urgencia puede ser más rentable y segura. La decisión posterior de la apendicectomía a intervalos sigue siendo discutible. El intervalo recomendado varía entre 6 y 8 semanas, tres y seis meses después de la normalización clínico humoral(AU)


Introduction: Appendiceal plastron is an inflammatory tumor made up of inflamed appendix, adjacent viscera and greater omentum. It may or may not contain pus (abscess/phlegmon). Objective: To specify whether emergency or interval appendectomy is indicated in patients with appendicular abscess and/or plastron who had undergone initial nonsurgical treatment. Methods: A review was carried out in the bibliographic databases Web of Science, PubMed, Medline and Lilacs, using the search engine Google Scholar. Twenty-eight articles were selected, in English and Spanish; twenty (71.2 percent) corresponded to the quinquennium 2016-20, while 96.4 percent were written by foreign authors. Development: The current standard is the initial nonsurgical treatment of the plastron and percutaneous drainage of the abscess. Interval appendectomy has minimal benefits and can lead to increased costs, hospital stay, intravenous antibiotic therapy and morbidity. Patients at risk for inflammatory bowel disease or colon cancer should be carefully followed up, regardless of which option is chosen (interval operation or observation). Conclusions: Emergency appendectomy is not recommended because the inflammatory component makes it technically difficult; it may require colectomy and increase morbidity, although currently, emergency laparoscopic appendectomy may be more profitable and safer. The subsequent decision for interval appendectomy remains debatable. The recommended interval varies from six to eight weeks, three and six months after clinical-humoral normalization(AU)

ABSTRACT

Background. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the impact of pain from dental urgencies on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Methods. A sample of sixty-eight patients seeking urgent attention to a primary health unit were included. Clinical diagnosis and sociodemographic data were assessed, dental pain measured by visual analog scale (VAS) and numerical pain rating scale (NPRS). The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) instrument was used to measure the OHRQoL. Associations were analyzed using the Student t-test, except for types of urgencies, that were evaluated with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. Results. The most prevalent urgency type was of endodontic origin (81%). There was no difference between pain and other variables. The type of tooth showed significant differences in OHIP-14 scores. Conclusion. Dental urgencies were associated with a high level of pain and impacted negatively on the patients' OHRQoL. The type of tooth had a positive association the OHRQoL measures.
