ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: The benefit of atropine in pediatric tracheal intubation is not well established. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of atropine on the incidence of hypoxemia and bradycardia during tracheal intubations in the pediatric emergency department. Methods: This is a single-center observational study in a tertiary pediatric emergency department. Data were collected on all tracheal intubations in patients from 31 days to incomplete 20 years old, performed between January 2016 and September 2020. Procedures were divided into two groups according to the use or not of atropine as a premedication during intubation. Records with missing data, patients with cardiorespiratory arrest, cyanotic congenital heart diseases, and those with chronic lung diseases with baseline hypoxemia were excluded. The primary outcome was hypoxemia (peripheral oxygen saturation ≤88%), while the secondary outcomes were bradycardia (decrease in heart rate >20% between the maximum and minimum values) and critical bradycardia (heart rate <60 bpm) during intubation procedure. Results: A total of 151 tracheal intubations were identified during the study period, of which 126 were eligible. Of those, 77% had complex, chronic underlying diseases. Atropine was administered to 43 (34.1%) patients and was associated with greater odds of hypoxemia in univariable analysis (OR: 2.62; 95%CI 1.15-6.16; p=0.027) but not in multivariable analysis (OR: 2.07; 95%CI 0.42-10.32; p=0.37). Critical bradycardia occurred in only three patients, being two in the atropine group (p=0.26). Bradycardia was analyzed in only 42 procedures. Atropine use was associated with higher odds of bradycardia in multivariable analysis (OR: 11.00; 95%CI 1.3-92.8; p=0.028). Conclusions: Atropine as a premedication in tracheal intubation did not prevent the occurrence of hypoxemia or bradycardia during intubation procedures in pediatric emergency.


RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito da atropina na incidência de hipoxemia e bradicardia durante a intubação orotraqueal no departamento de emergência pediátrica. Métodos: Estudo observacional, realizado em departamento de emergência pediátrica terciário em que foram analisados os registros de intubações orotraqueais de pacientes com 31 dias a 20 anos incompletos, entre janeiro de 2016 e setembro de 2020. Os procedimentos foram divididos em dois grupos de acordo com o uso ou não da atropina como pré-medicação durante a intubação. Foram excluídos os procedimentos com falhas no preenchimento dos dados, pacientes com parada cardiorrespiratória, cardiopatias congênitas cianóticas, e aqueles com pneumopatias crônicas com hipoxemia basal. O desfecho primário foi hipoxemia (saturação periférica de oxigênio ≤88%), enquanto os desfechos secundários foram bradicardia (queda >20% entre a frequência cardíaca máxima e mínima) e bradicardia crítica (frequência cardíaca <60 bpm) durante o procedimento de intubação Resultados: Foram identificados 151 procedimentos de intubação orotraqueal, sendo 126 elegíveis para o estudo. Desses, 77% tinham doenças subjacentes complexas e crônicas. A atropina foi administrada em 43 (34,1%) pacientes e foi associada a maiores chances de hipoxemia na análise univariada (OR: 2,62; IC95% 1,15-6,16; p=0,027), porém, não na análise multivariada (OR: 2,073; IC95% 0,416-10,32; p=0,373). A bradicardia crítica ocorreu em apenas três pacientes, sendo dois no grupo atropina (p=0,268). A bradicardia foi analisada em apenas 42 procedimentos. O uso de atropina foi associado a maior probabilidade de bradicardia (OR: 11,00; IC95% 1,3-92,8; p=0,028) na análise multivariável. Conclusões: Atropina como pré-medicação na intubação orotraqueal não evitou a ocorrência de hipoxemia ou bradicardia durante os procedimentos de intubação na emergência pediátrica.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Desde el inicio de la pandemia por COVID-19, dentro de las complicaciones más frecuentes de esta infección se encuentran la neumonía y el síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda. La hipoxemia y el aumento del trabajo respiratorio son determinantes para adoptar diversas estrategias terapéuticas de oxigenación no invasiva en pacientes con COVID-19. Es importante conocer y describir las diferentes modalidades de oxigenoterapia no invasiva, con la finalidad de preservar la oxigenación y un adecuado trabajo respiratorio, las estrategias descritas en la literatura abarcan: cánulas nasales convencionales, cánulas nasales de alto flujo y ventilación mecánica no invasiva, aunado a otras medidas de soporte como posición prono, administración de esquemas con esteroide, inmunomoduladores y óxido nítrico inhalado. Las estrategias no invasivas de oxigenación por diferentes métodos son herramientas indispensables para el tratamiento de pacientes con neumonía por COVID-19 moderada-grave. Es necesario evaluar el dispositivo a emplear, ya que esta enfermedad tiene características heterogéneas de acuerdo con gravedad y el tiempo de evolución.


Abstract: Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the most frequent complications of this infection include pneumonia and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Hypoxemia and increased work of breathing are determining factors in adopting various non-invasive oxygenation therapeutic strategies in patients with COVID-19. It is important to know and describe the different modalities of non-invasive oxygen therapy, in order to preserve oxygenation and adequate respiratory work, the strategies described in the literature include: conventional nasal cannulas, high-flow nasal cannulas and non-invasive mechanical ventilation coupled with other support measures such as prone position, administration of schemes with steroids, immunomodulators and inhaled nitric oxide. Non-invasive oxygenation strategies by different methods are essential tools for the treatment of patients with moderate-severe COVID-19 pneumonia. It is necessary to evaluate the device to be used, since this disease has heterogeneous characteristics according to severity and time of evolution.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda producido por la COVID-19 provoca alteraciones en el intercambio de oxígeno y la excreción de dióxido de carbono con consecuencias neurológicas. Objetivo: Describir las implicaciones del oxígeno y el dióxido de carbono sobre la dinámica cerebral durante el tratamiento ventilatorio del síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda en el accidente cerebrovascular. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda en bases referenciales como: PubMed/Medline, SciELO, Google Académico y BVS Cuba. Los términos incluidos fueron brain-lung crosstalk, ARDS, mechanical ventilation, COVID-19 related stroke, ARDS related stroke y su traducción al español. Fueron referenciados libros de neurointensivismo y ventilación mecánica artificial. El período de búsqueda incluyó los últimos 20 años. Se seleccionaron 46 bibliografías que cumplieron con los criterios de selección. Resultados: Se ha descrito que los niveles de oxígeno y dióxido de carbono participan en la neurorregulación vascular en pacientes con daño cerebral. Algunas alteraciones alusivas son la vasodilatación cerebral refleja o efectos vasoconstrictores con reducción de la presión de perfusión cerebral. Como consecuencia aumenta la presión intracraneal y aparecen afectaciones neurocognitivas, isquemia cerebral tardía o herniación del tronco encefálico. Conclusiones: El control de la oxigenación y la excreción de dióxido de carbono resultaron cruciales para mantener la homeostasis neuronal, evita la disminución de la presión de perfusión cerebral y el aumento de la presión intracraneal. Se sugiere evitar la hipoxemia e hiperoxemia, limitar o eludir la hipercapnia y usar hiperventilación hipocápnica solo en condiciones de herniación del tallo encefálico.


Introduction: The acute respiratory distress syndrome produced by COVID-19 causes alterations in the exchange of oxygen and the excretion of carbon dioxide with neurological consequences. Objective: To describe the implications of oxygen and carbon dioxide on brain dynamics during ventilatory treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome in stroke. Methods: A search was carried out in referential bases such as PubMed/Medline, SciELO, Google Scholar and VHL Cuba. The terms included were brain-lung crosstalk, ARDS, mechanical ventilation, COVID-19 related stroke, ARDS related stroke and their translation into Spanish. Books on neurointensive care and artificial mechanical ventilation were referenced. The search period included the last 20 years. Forty six bibliographies that met the selection criteria were selected. Results: Oxygen and carbon dioxide levels have been described to participate in vascular neuroregulation in patients with brain damage. Some allusive alterations are reflex cerebral vasodilatation or vasoconstrictor effects with reduced cerebral perfusion pressure. As a consequence, intracranial pressure increases and neurocognitive impairments, delayed cerebral ischemia or brainstem herniation appear. Conclusions: The control of oxygenation and the excretion of carbon dioxide were crucial to maintain neuronal homeostasis, avoiding the decrease in cerebral perfusion pressure and the increase in intracranial pressure. It is suggested to avoid hypoxemia and hyperoxemia, limit or avoid hypercapnia, and use hypocapnic hyperventilation only in conditions of brainstem herniation.

ABSTRACT

Hay poca información sobre el rol de la hipoxemia como factor de riesgo de hipertensión arterial (HTA) en pacientes con apnea obstructiva del sueño. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la hipoxemia como factor de riesgo independiente de HTA en un modelo de trabajo basado en pacientes reales examinados en una unidad de sueño. Métodos: estudio retrospectivo. Modelo predictivo mediante regresión logística múltiple para establecer la relación entre HTA y edad, sexo, índice de masa corporal (IMC), índice de apneas e hipopneas por hora de registro (IAH) y tiempo de saturación de oxígeno debajo de 90% (T90 > 3%). Resultados: incluimos 3854 pacientes (edad mediana 55 años), predominio varones (61.5%). Según el modelo, las variables asociadas con HTA fueron: edad (OR 3.27 ­ 3.29, IC95% 2.83 ­ 3.80, p < 0.0001), sexo masculino (OR 1.35, IC95% 1.17 ­ 1.56, p < 0.001), obesidad (OR 1.83, IC95% 1.59 ­ 2.11, p < 0.0001), IAH ≥ 15 eventos por hora (OR 1.22, IC95% 1.05 ­ 1.43, p < 0.01) y T90 ≥ 3% (OR 1.56 ­ 1.57, IC95% 1.32 ­ 1.84, p < 0.0001). Conclusiones: en una población clínica con sospecha de apnea obstructiva del sueño, la hipoxemia (T90 ≥ 3%) se asoció con hipertensión arterial. (AU);


There is limited information about the role of hypoxemia degree as a risk factor for hypertension (HTN) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The objective of this study is to assess hypoxemia as an independent risk factor for HTN in a work model based on real-life patients examined at sleep unit. Methods: this retrospective study consisted of a predictive model using multiple logistic regression to establish the relationship between HTN and age, sex, body mass index (BMI), apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) and time below SO2 ≤ 90% (T90 ≥ 3%). Results: we included 3.854 patients (median age: 55 years), mostly men (61.5%). According to the model, the variables that were significantly associated with HTN were: age (OR: 3.27 ­ 3.29, CI95% 2.83 ­ 3.80, p < 0.0001), male sex (OR 1.35, CI95% 1.17 ­ 1.56, p < 0.001), Obesity (OR 1.83, CI95% 1.59 ­ 2.11, p < 0.0001), AHI > 15 events per hour (OR 1.22, CI95% 1.05 ­ 1.43, p < 0.01) and T90 ≥ 3% (OR 1.56 ­ 1.57, CI95% 1.32 ­ 1.84, p < 0.0001). Conclusion: in a clinical population of subjects suspected of OSA, nocturnal hypoxemia measure as T90 ≥ 3% was associated with HTN. (AU);

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: A dessaturação da oxihemoglobina induzida pelo exercício em pacientes pós-COVID-19 parece estar associada à redução da difusão e dos volumes pulmonares, à maior dispneia e baixa capacidade funcional, sendo relacionada à maior mortalidade e pior prognóstico. A reabilitação cardiopulmonar e metabólica (RCPM) é relevante, pois visa restaurar a funcionalidade, tolerância ao esforço e a qualidade de vida (QV). OBJETIVO: Verificar os efeitos da RCPM em pacientes que apresentaram dessaturação da oxihemoglobina induzida pelo exercício após alta hospitalar pela COVID-19 e ainda observar a diferença entre os treinamentos contínuo de moderada intensidade (TCMI) e o intervalado de alta intensidade (TIAI) na tolerância ao esforço, nos sintomas e na QV. MÉTODOS: Trata-se do relato de uma série de 4 casos que foram hospitalizados por COVID-19 e que após alta hospitalar apresentaram dessaturação da oxihemoglobina induzida pelo esforço durante o teste do degrau de 6 minutos (TD6). Os pacientes foram avaliados por meio de espirometria de repouso, mensuração da força da musculatura inspiratória, TD6, teste da caminhada de 6 minutos (TC6), teste de repetições máximas do quadríceps e bíceps braquial e responderam ao questionário SF-36 de QV. Submetidos a um protocolo de treinamento contendo treino da musculatura inspiratória e treino resistido para grandes grupos musculares, adicionalmente, 2 pacientes fizeram TCMI (com 60-80% da frequência cárdica de reserva (FCR)) e 2 TIAI (com 40% da FCR na fase off, durante 4 minutos e 80 a 100%, na fase on, durante 2 minutos) em esteira por 30 minutos e, por fim, após 3 meses foram reavaliados. RESULTADOS: Observouse aumento da tolerância ao esforço, da força muscular inspiratória e periférica, além da melhora da QV e redução dos sintomas em todos os pacientes após a RCPM, porém houve incrementos maiores nos pacientes submetidos ao TIAI comparados ao TCMI na distância percorrida em metros (caso 1- 156 (23% de incremento); caso 3 - 168 (40%)) versus (caso 2 e 4 - 60 metros, com incrementos de 9% e 14%, respectivamente) e maior número de degraus (caso 1- 28 (23% de aumento); caso 3- 37 (34%)) versus (caso 2 ­ 2 (2% incremento); caso 4 - 15 (21%)). CONCLUSÃO: A RCPM apresentou efeitos positivos, com incremento da capacidade funcional e melhora da QV, além da redução dos sintomas durante o esforço, particularmente nos pacientes submetidos ao TIAI.


INTRODUCTION: Exercise-induced oxyhemoglobin desaturation in post-COVID-19 patients appears to be associated with reduced diffusion and lung volumes, greater dyspnea and low functional capacity, being related to higher mortality and worse prognosis. Cardiopulmonary and metabolic rehabilitation (CPMR) is relevant, as it aims to restore functionality, exercise tolerance and quality of life (QoL). OBJECTIVE: To verify the effects of CPMR in patients who presented exercise-induced oxyhemoglobin desaturation after hospital discharge due to COVID-19 and also to observe the difference between moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) and high intensity interval training (HIIT) on effort tolerance, symptoms and QoL. METHODS: This is the report of a series of 4 cases who were hospitalized for COVID-19 and who, after hospital discharge, presented exertion-induced oxyhemoglobin desaturation during the 6-minute step test (6MST). Patients were assessed using spirometry at rest, measurement of inspiratory muscle strength, 6MST, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), quadriceps and biceps brachii maximum repetitions test, and answered the SF-36 QoL questionnaire. Submitted to a training protocol containing training of the inspiratory muscles and resistance training for large muscle groups, additionally, 2 patients underwent CMIT (with 60-80% of heart rate reserve) and 2 HIIT (with 40% of HR reserve in the off, for 4 minutes and 80 to 100%, in the on phase, for 2 minutes) on a treadmill for 30 minutes, finally, after 3 months, they were reassessed. RESULTS: There was an increase in effort tolerance, inspiratory and peripheral muscle strength, in addition to an improvement in QoL and a reduction in symptoms in all patients after CPMR, but there were greater increments in patients submitted to HIIT compared to CMIT in the distance covered in meters (case 1 - 156 (23% increment); case 3 - 168 (40%)) versus (case 2 and 4 - 60 meters, with increments of 9% and 14%, respectively) and greater number of steps (case 1 - 28 (23% increase); case 3- 37 (34%)) versus (case 2 ­ 2 (2% increment); case 4 - 15 (21%)). CONCLUSION: CPMR had positive effects, with an increase in functional capacity and improvement in QoL, in addition to a reduction in symptoms during exertion, particularly in patients undergoing HIIT.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: este estudo objetivou conhecer a vivência de fisioterapeutas com pacientes hospitalizados sob oxigenoterapia, bem como identificar os desafios vivenciados durante a sua intervenção. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo e transversal, realizado no período de setembro de 2021 a março de 2022, com fisioterapeutas atuantes em hospitais da cidade de Fortaleza-CE. A coleta de dados foi realizada de forma presencial e virtual pela plataforma Google Forms, por meio de um questionário com perguntas objetivas sobre vivência, intervenção e desafios durante assistência ao paciente sob oxigenoterapia. Os dados coletados foram armazenados no Microsoft Excel® 2010 e analisados pelo SPSS® versão 20.0, utilizando-se de estatística descritiva. Resultados: participaram do estudo 101 fisioterapeutas, 76,2% do gênero feminino, e 45,5% dos participantes eram graduados há 5 anos. Destes, 83,2% dos fisioterapeutas afirmaram que SpO2 < 90% é indicativo de oxigenoterapia. A maioria (79,2%) discordou da utilização da máscara de Venturi para pacientes com Covid-19 e apontou a cânula nasal de alto fluxo (39,6%) e a máscara reservatório não reinalante (40,6%) como as mais utilizadas. Entre os desafios enfrentados durante a assistência, a interação com a equipe interdisciplinar (25,70%), o desmame da oxigenoterapia (21,80%) e a indisponibilidade de recursos (20,80%) foram os mais relatados. Conclusão: grande parte dos profissionais atua indicando o oxigênio suplementar em situações em que há SaO2 < 90%, realizando avaliação à beira leito da cânula nasal de alto fluxo por meio do índice ROX e indicando intervenção fisioterapêutica.

Methods: it was a quantitative and cross-sectional study conducted from September 2021 to March 2022, with physiotherapists working in hospitals in Fortaleza-CE. Data collection was performed in person and virtually through the Google Forms platform, through a questionnaire with objective questions about experience, intervention, and challenges during care to patients under oxygen therapy. The collected data were stored in Microsoft Excel® 2010 and analyzed by SPSS® version 20.0, using descriptive statistics. Results: the study included 101 physical therapists, 76.2% female, and 45.5% of the participants had graduated for five years. Of these, 83.2% of physical therapists stated that SpO2 < 90% is indicative of oxygen therapy. The majority (79.2%) disagreed with the use of the venturi mask for patients with Covid-19 and pointed to the high-flow nasal cannula (39.6%) and the non-reinlantreservoir mask (40.6%) as the most used. Among the challenges faced during care, interaction with the interdisciplinary team (25.70%), weaning from oxygen therapy (21.80%), and unavailability of resources (20.80%) was the most reported. Conclusion: most professionals indicate supplemental oxygen in situations where SaO2 < 90%, perform an evaluation at the bedside of the high-flow nasal cannula from the ROX index and suggest physiotherapeutic intervention.

Abstract: Introduction: Among the patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, 14.6% were admitted to intensive care unit. this 29 to 75% required invasive mechanical ventilation with an associated mortality of 12 to 81%. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the most serious form of presentation. The pathophysiology of ARDS secondary to SARS-CoV-2 differs from conventional causes. It presents dysregulation in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, secondary acute pulmonary hypertension and microthrombotic phenomena. The development of refractory severe hypoxemia (PaO2 < 60 mmHg or PaO2/FiO2 < 100 mmHg, with FiO2 80 to 100%, with PEEP > 10 to 20 cmH2O for at least 10 to 12 hours) constitutes the scenario of maximum severity with an associated mortality of 71 to 94%. The use of rescue strategies that impact on the specific pathophysiology of this entity such as the use of inhaled nitric oxide, neuromuscular blockade and prone ventilation have emerged as therapeutic targets of interest. Protective mechanical ventilation (plateau pressure [Pplat] < 27 cmH2O and driving pressure [DP] < 15 cmH2O) continues to be the cornerstone of the management. Objectives: To determine whether there is an association between the use of inhaled nitric oxide and prone ventilation with ventilatory mechanics in patients with severe refractory hypoxemia secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Material and methods: A historical, retrospective, descriptive, comparative and retrolective cohort study was carried out. Data from the records of patients admitted to the Respiratory ICU of the ABC Medical Center with a diagnosis of ARDS secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection who required iNO and mechanical ventilation in prone from April 1 to December 31, 2020 were analyzed. A univariate analysis was performed, the statistical analysis was performed in SPSS v 21, measures of trend, dispersion were analyzed as well as the analysis of risk factors with Student's t test and χ2. Results: A total of 108 patients were analyzed, of which 54 received iNO, neuromuscular blockade and prone and 54 only neuromuscular blockade and prone ventilation. 81.5% (n = 88) were men. The most common comorbidity was diabetes mellitus in 51.9% (n = 56). The increase in oxygenation (delta PaO2/FiO2) was with a median of 31.9 ± 15.2 mmHg in the iNO group and 52.9 ± 16.74 mmHg in the control group (p = 0.001). The postintervention Pplat in the iNO group was 26.3 ± 3 and 34.5 ± 1.9 cmH2O in the control group (p = 0.792). The preintervention DP in the iNO group was 17.2 ± 3.9 and 13.4 ± 2.8 cmH2O in control group vs 13.1 ± 1.29 and 12 ± 1.92 cmH2O after the intervention (p = 0.001). Conclusions: The use of iNO in patients with severe hypoxemia refractory to prone ventilation and neuromuscular blockade did not produce a statistically significant improvement in oxygenation, however it allowed to reprogram the ventilatory support to keep the patient in goals of alveolar protection.


Resumo: Introdução: 14.6% dos pacientes infectados com SARS-CoV-2 são internados em terapia intensiva. Destes, 29 a 75% necessitam de ventilação mecânica invasiva com mortalidade associada de 12 a 81%. A síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo (SDRA) é a forma mais grave de apresentação. A fisiopatologia da SDRA secundária ao SARS-CoV-2 difere das causas convencionais. Apresenta desregulação na vasoconstrição pulmonar hipóxica, hipertensão pulmonar aguda secundária e fenômenos microtrombóticos. O desenvolvimento de hipoxemia grave refratária (PaO2 < 60 mmHg ou PaO2/FiO2 < 100 mmHg, com FiO2 de 80 a 100%, PEEP > 10 a 20 cmH2O por pelo menos 10 a 12 horas) constitui o cenário mais grave com mortalidade associada de 71 a 94%. O uso de estratégias de resgate que impactam na fisiopatologia específica dessa entidade, como o uso de óxido nítrico inalatório (NOi), bloqueio neuromuscular e ventilação prona, surgiram como alvos terapêuticos de interesse. A ventilação mecânica protetora (Pressão de Platô [PPLAT] < 27 cmH2O e Pressão de Condução [CP] < 15 cmH2O) continua sendo a base de seu manejo. Objetivo: Determinar se existe associação entre o uso de óxido nítrico inalatório e ventilação prona prolongada com mecânica ventilatória em pacientes com hipoxemia refratária grave secundária à infecção por SARS-CoV-2. Material e métodos: Realizou-se um estudo de coorte histórico, retrospectivo, descritivo, comparativo e retroletivo. Analisaram-se dados dos prontuários de pacientes internados na UTI Respiratória do Centro Médico ABC com diagnóstico de SDRA secundária à infecção por SARS-CoV-2 que necessitaram de óxido nítrico inalatório e ventilação mecânica prona no período de 1o de abril a 31 de dezembro de 2020. Realizou-se uma análise univariada , a análise estatística foi realizada no SPSS v 21, foram analisadas as medidas de tendência e dispersão, assim como a análise dos fatores de risco com teste t de Student e χ2. Resultados: Analisaram-se 108 pacientes, dos quais 54 receberam NOi, bloqueio neuromuscular e prono e 54 apenas bloqueio neuromuscular e ventilação prona. 81.5% (n = 88) eram homens. A comorbidade mais comum foi diabetes mellitus em 51.9% (n = 56). O aumento da oxigenação (Delta PaO2/FiO2) foi com mediana de 31.9 ± 15.2 mmHg no grupo NOi e 52.9 ± 16.74 mmHg no grupo controle (p = 0.001). A PPLAT após a intervenção no grupo NOi foi de 26.3 ± 3 e 34.5 ± 1.9 cmH2O no grupo controle (p = 0.792). A PC antes da intervenção no grupo NOi foi de 17.2 ± 3.9 e 13.4 ± 2.8 cmH2O no grupo controle vs 13.1 ± 1.29 e 12 ± 1.92 cmH2O após a intervenção (p = 0.001). Conclusões: O uso de NOi em pacientes com hipoxemia grave refratária à ventilação em pronação e bloqueio neuromuscular não produziu melhora estatisticamente significativa na oxigenação, porém permitiu que o suporte ventilatório fosse reprogramado para manter as metas de proteção alveolar do paciente.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El COVID-19 ha generado retos por la alta demanda de servicios, haciendo necesario buscar alternativas de soporte ventilatorio que permitan responder a las necesidades de la población. Es importante disponer de herramientas que permitan detectar precozmente el fracaso de estrategias ventilatorias no invasivas e identificar tempranamente la necesidad de intubación. Objetivo: identificar las variables asociadas a fracaso en el tratamiento con cánula de alto flujo (CNAF) en pacientes con COVID-19. Materiales y Métodos: estudio observacional analítico, corte transversal con 68 pacientes de la unidad de cuidados intensivos con COVID-19, que recibieron tratamiento con CNAF. Las variables de estudio se evaluaron en tres momentos, a las 24, 48 y 72 horas, llevando a cabo un análisis bivariado y multivariado entre los que fracasaron y los que tuvieron éxito. Resultados: en el análisis bivariado las variables que presentaron una relación estadísticamente significativa a las 24h fueron el no presentar un aumento del trabajo respiratorio (Wresp) (p=0.000) y saturación de oxígeno (SatO2) normal (p=0.006). A las 48h: no aumento en Wresp (p=0.014), SatO2 normal (p=0.005), presión arterial de oxígeno/fracción inspirada de oxígeno (PAFI) leve o moderado (p=0.039). A las 72h fracasaron: PAFI severa (p=0.000), aumento de Wresp (p=0.001) y el índice de ROX menor a 4.88 (p=0.023). De acuerdo con el análisis multivariado las variables predictoras de fracaso a las 24h fueron: FIO2, SatO2, Wresp y a las 48h FIO2 y SatO2. Conclusiones: el aumento de FIO2>70 %, presentar incremento del Wresp y SpO2 menor de 88 % son variables asociadas a fracaso de la CNAF y facilitan tomar decisiones clínicas sobre avanzar o no hacia un soporte ventilatorio invasivo.


Introduction: COVID-19 has generated challenges due to the high demand for health care services, making it necessary to seek ventilatory support alternatives that allow us to fulfill the needs of the population. It is important to have tools that allow to detect the failure of non-invasive ventilatory strategies early and to identify the need for intubation on time. Objective: Identify the variables associated with failure of high-flow nasal cannula treatment (HFNC) on COVID-19 patients. Materials and Methods: Analytical observational, cross-sectional study of 68 patients in the intensive care unit with COVID-19, who received treatment with HFNC. The variables of the study were evaluated at three time points, at 24, 48 and 72 hours. A bivariate and multivariate analysis was performed between those who failed and those who were successful. Results: In the bivariate analysis, the variables that presented a statistically significant relationship at 24h were: No increase in work of breathing (WOB) (p=0.000), normal oxygen saturation (SatO2) (p=0.006). At 48h: No increase in WOB (p=0.014), normal SatO2 (p=0.005), mild to moderate partial pressure arterial oxygen/fraction inspired oxygen ratio (P/F ratio) (p=0.039). At 72h failed: severe P/F ratio (p=0.000), Increased WOB (p=0.001) and ROX index less than 4.88 (p=0.023). According to multivariate analysis the predictive variables for the therapeutic failure at 24h were: FIO2, SatO2, WOB; at 48h: FIO2 and SatO2. Conclusions: Increased FIO2>70%, increased WOB and SpO2 less than 88% are variables associated with failure of HFNC, and facilitate clinical decisions on whether or not to progress with invasive ventilatory support.

ABSTRACT

La hipoxemia ocurre producto de una inadecuada captación de oxígeno a nivel pulmonar y se manifiesta como presión arterial de oxígeno menor a 60 mmHg o saturación arterial de oxígeno menor de 90%. Los mecanismos fisiopatológicos por los cuales se puede producir hipoxemia son hipoventilación, alteración del equilibrio ventilación perfusión, shunt cardiaco, alteración de la difusión y disminución de la presión inspirada de oxígeno. La comprensión de estos mecanismos es fundamental para entender su presentación clínica en distintas enfermedades.


Hypoxemia is the name given to inadequate uptake in the lung and is defined as an arterial oxygen pressure less than 60 mmHg or arterial oxygen saturation less than 90%. The pathophysiological mechanisms that can produce hypoxemia are: hypoventilation, ventilation perfusion mismatch, cardiac shunt, diffusion impairment and decreased inspired oxygen pressure. Full comprehension of these mechanism facilitates the understanding of hypoxemia among different diseases.

ABSTRACT

La hiperplasia de células neuroendocrinas de la infancia (HCNEI) constituye una de las enfermedades intersticiales más frecuentes en pediatría. Tanto su etiología como los mecanismos fisiopatológicos involucrados son inciertos. Suele presentarse en pacientes por lo demás sanos, durante los primeros meses de vida con taquipnea, retracciones costales, rales e hipoxemia. En la tomografía axial computada de tórax de alta resolución (TACAR) presenta imágenes características en vidrio esmerilado de distribución central y zonas de atrapamiento aéreo. Para el diagnóstico, además de la clínica y la TACAR, podemos recurrir a la biopsia en casos atípicos. Los hallazgos histológicos reflejan una arquitectura pulmonar normal y un aumento en el número de células neuroendocrinas. El manejo global es con medidas de sostén, ya que no se cuenta con un tratamiento específico. La sintomatología suele mejorar con la edad y el pronóstico es favorable.


Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI) is one of the most common interstitial lung diseases of childhood. The etiology and pathophysiological mechanisms involved are uncertain. It usually presents in otherwise healthy patients during the first months of life with tachypnea, rib retractions, crackles, and hypoxemia. High-resolution chest computed tomography (HRCT) shows ground-glass opacities of central distribution and areas of air trapping. For diagnosis purposes, in addition to clinical and HRCT features, a lung biopsy is indicated for atypical cases. Histological findings reflect normal architecture and an increased number of neuroendocrine cells. The management consists of supportive and preventive care, since there is no specific treatment. Symptoms usually improve with age and the prognosis is favorable.

ABSTRACT

La pronación consciente es una de las herramientas utilizadas para reducir los ingresos a terapia intensiva (UTI) en la neumonía por COVID-19 con hipoxemia. Algunos pacientes no toleran estar en posición prono (intolerantes) y algunos que lo toleran no responden mejorando la saturación o su PO2. Presentamos una serie de 34 pacientes sometidos a pronación consciente; fueron tolerantes 18 (52,9%). Nueve pacientes pasaron a UTI (26,4%): 7 intolerantes (43,7%) y 2 tolerantes (11,1%) (p=0.038). No hallamos diferencias en la necesidad de ventilación mecánica y mortalidad entre tolerantes e intolerantes. De los 18 tolerantes se clasificó como respondedores a 10 pacientes (55,5%). No hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa en los pases a UTI entre los respondedores y no respondedores. La pronación consciente es una herramienta factible en el paciente con neumonía por COVID-19 y nos permitió predecir el requerimiento de terapia intensiva entre aquellos intolerantes al método.


The prone positioning (PP) in awake patients is one of the tools to reduce the number of admissions to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in cases of Covid-19 hipoxemic pneumonia. Some patients do not tolerate PP (intolerants) and others that tolerate it do not respond with improvement of PO2 or oxygen saturation. We present here a series of 34 patients who underwent PP. Eighteen of them tolerated PP (52,9%). Nine patients (26,4%) were admitted to ICU: 7 who had not tolerated PP (43,7%) and 2 who had tolerated PP (11,1%) (p= 0.038). We did not find differences in the need for mechanical ventilation and mortality between patients who tolerated and who did not tolerate PP. From those 18 who tolerated PP, 10 were classified as responders (55,5%). We did not find any significant statistical differences for admission to ICU between responders and non-responders. PP in awake patients is a feasible tool in cases of COVID-19 Pneumonia, and it allowed us to predict the requirements of ICU between those who were not tolerant to the method

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda es una enfermedad que cursa con hipoxemia severa, poco frecuente en las unidades de cuidados intensivos pediátricos, pero con elevada mortalidad. Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre variables demográficas y clínicas con la duración de la ventilación mecánica y la supervivencia en niños con síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de los pacientes ingresados en 15 unidades de cuidados intensivos pediátricos, con diagnóstico de síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda. Se evaluaron variables demográficas, las formas clínicas del síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda, duración de la ventilación mecánica y la supervivencia. Las variables cualitativas se expresaron en valores absolutos y porcentajes, las variables cuantitativas se analizaron con la prueba ji-cuadrada de Pearson y comparación de medias. Resultados: Se registraron 282 pacientes, de ellos 63,7 por ciento menores de seis años, el 54,4 por ciento del sexo masculino y el 51,1 por ciento de piel blanca. Las formas clínicas pulmonares prevalecieron (58,1 por ciento) y se correlacionaron (p= 0,022) con la supervivencia, la mediana de la duración de la ventilación mecánica fue de 10 días. Existió relación (p= 0,000) entre la duración de la ventilación y la mortalidad. Se registró una mortalidad global de 40,78 por ciento, (n= 115). Conclusiones: El síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda tiene mayor incidencia en los menores de seis años y en las formas clínicas pulmonares que se relacionan con una mayor supervivencia, la cual se eleva en la medida que aumentan los días de ventilación mecánica(AU)


ABSTRACT Introduction: The acute respiratory distress syndrome is a disease that evolves with severe hypoxemia, and it is not frequent in pediatric intensive care units, but it has high mortality rates. Objective: To determine the relation between demographic and clinical variables with the mechanical ventilation and survival in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Methods: Retrospective study in patients admitted in 15 pediatric intensive care units with diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome. There was an assessment of the demographic variables, the clinical forms of this syndrome, the duration of mechanical ventilation and the survival rates. Qualitative variables were presented in absolute values and percentages, and were analyzed with the Pearson´s ji-square test and means comparison. Results: 282 patients were recorded, 63.7 percent of them were under 6 years old, 54.4 percent were males and 51.1 percent were white. Pulmonary clinical forms prevailed (58,1 percent) and were correlated (p= 0,022) with the survival rates, and the mean of mechanical ventilation´s duration was of 10 days. There was relation (p= 0,000) between the duration of ventilation and mortality. It was recorded a total mortality of 40.78 percent (n= 115). Conclusions: Acute respiratory distress syndrome has higher incidence in children under 6 years and in the pulmonary clinical forms that are related with a higher survival, which increases in the same way that mechanical ventilation´s amount of days do(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: Comprobar las diferencias morfológicas y funcionales del corazón en dos poblaciones latinoamericanas con distintas características raciales y condiciones de vida. Métodos: Mediante el ecocardiograma transtorácico se obtuvieron datos de 206 personas: 103 del poblado de Atahualpa, Ecuador (nivel del mar, edad x̄ 75 ± 4.2 años, 53 mujeres) y 103 habitantes de la Ciudad de México (altitud de 2,300 m, edad x̄ 75 ± 4.2 años, 52 mujeres). Resultados: Las diferencias significativas entre Atahualpa y la Ciudad de México fueron frecuencia cardíaca, 66 vs. 80; diámetro diastólico ventricular izquierdo, 40.8 vs. 42.7; grosor del tabique, 9.8 vs. 11.6; pared posterior, 10.2 vs. 11.8; volumen-latido en centímetros cúbicos, 53.0 vs. 46.6; volumen auricular Izquierdo, 25.8 vs. 33.6; presión sistólica de la arteria pulmonar, 27.1 vs. 42.0; gasto cardíaco, 3.1 vs. 4.8; cociente E/Ea, 6.4 vs. 9.2; área mitral, 3.4 vs. 3.0. El comparativo de la función diastólica entre Atahualpa y la Ciudad de México fue: tipo 0: 2 vs. 1; tipo 1: 96 vs. 81; tipo 2: 5 vs. 20; tipo 3: 0 vs. 1. Conclusión: Las características ecocardiográficas que identifican los cambios adaptativos del corazón en Atahualpa coinciden con personas que viven a nivel del mar y con buena actividad física y en México con los habitantes de grandes altitudes y expuestos a contaminación ambiental. La función sistólica del ventrículo izquierdo fue similar en ambas poblaciones, lo que indica que los cambios adaptativos hacen posible que el corazón sea eficaz en diferentes circunstancias del ecosistema.


Abstract Objective: To compare morphological and functional differences of the heart in two Latin American populations with different ethnicity and living conditions. Methods: Using transthoracic echocardiogram we obtained data on 206 individuals: 103 from Atahualpa, Ecuador (living at sea level, mean age: 75 ± 4.2 years, 53 women) and 103 inhabitants from Mexico City (living at 2300 m above sea level, mean age: 75 ± 4.2 years, 52 women). Results: Significant differences between Atahualpa and Mexico were: Heart rate 66 versus 80 x’, left ventricular diastolic diameter 40.8 versus 42.7, septum thickness 9.8 versus 11.6, posterior wall 10.2 versus 11.8, stroke volume cc 53.0 versus 46.6, left atrial volume 25. 8 versus 33.6, systolic pressure of the pulmonary artery 27.1 versus 42.0, cardiac output 3.1 versus 4.8, E/Ea ratio 6.4 versus 9.2, and mitral area 3.4 versus 3.0. Comparison of diastolic function between Atahualpa and Mexico was: Type 0; 2 versus 1. Type 1; 96 versus 81. Type 2; 5 versus 20 and Type 3; 0 versus 1. Conclusion: Echocardiographic characteristics that identify adaptive changes of the heart in Atahualpa are coincident with people living at sea level and with good physical activity, and Mexico City, with inhabitants living at high altitudes and exposed to environmental pollution. The systolic function of the left ventricle was similar in both populations, indicating that adaptive changes allow the heart to be effective in different circumstances of the ecosystem.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Las terapias convencionales para el aporte de oxígeno usadas en la clínica veterinaria pueden ser ineficientes al momento de ofrecer una recupe- ración satisfactoria de los pacientes posquirúrgicos bajo procedimientos a tórax con falla respiratoria hipoxémica, requiriendo estrategias que mejoren los indicadores de oxigenación. El presente trabajo describe el uso de cánulas nasales de alto flujo en dos pacientes sometidos a cirugías de tórax bajo anestesia general. El paciente #1 fue sometido a pericardiectomía subfrénica por toracoscopía y el paciente #2 fue sometido a una reducción percutánea de fractura de costillas con tubo a tórax. Ambos pacientes fueron recuperados en el posquirúrgico con oxigenoterapia de alto flujo a caudales de 600 y 1.071 mL/kg/minuto, respectivamente. El oxígeno fue en- tregado a través de un dispositivo comercial de humidificación activa, tubuladura no condensable con sistema de calefacción y cánula nasal bilateral, ofreciendo una temperatura del aire de 37 ºC, humedad del 98% y fracción inspirada de oxígeno de 50%. Se realizó gasometría percutánea (arteria dorsal metatarsiana) tras 15 minutos de ser extubado el paciente y una segunda muestra arterial fue colectada 60 minutos luego de la instalación del dispositivo de alto flujo. Se observó un aumento de la presión parcial de oxígeno (PaO2) sin cambios en la presión parcial de dióxido de car- bono (PaCO2). Adicionalmente, se reportó tolerancia satisfactoria al dispositivo por parte de ambos pacientes. Las cánulas de alto flujo deben ser consideradas dentro de las estrategias de soporte ventilatorio no invasivo durante la posextubación en pacientes sometidos a cirugías de tórax.


Abstract Conventional therapies for oxygen supply used in the veterinary clinic may be inefficient when offering a satisfactory recovery to post-surgical patients under chest surgical procedures with hypoxemic respiratory failure, de- manding strategies to improve oxygenation indicators. The present work describes the use of high-flow nasal cannulas in two patients submitted to chest surgeries and under general anesthesia. Patient #1 was submitted to a subphrenic pericardiectomy by thoracoscopy, and patient #2 was submitted to a percutaneous rib fracture reduction by a chest tube. Both patients were recovered with a high-flow oxygen therapy in the post-surgical phase at flow rates of 600 and 1,071 mL/kg/minute, respectively. The oxygen was delivered using a commercial device of active humidification, non-condensable suction with heating system and bilateral nasal cannula, offering an air temperature of 37 ºC, humidity of 98% and inspired fraction of oxygen of 50%. A percutaneous gasometry was performed (dorsal metatarsal artery) after 15 minutes of extubating of the patient, and a second arterial sample was collected 60 minutes after the installation of the high-flow device. An increase in the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) was observed without an increase in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2). Additionally, both patients reported satisfactory tolerance to the device. High-flow nasal cannulas should be considered within non-invasive ventilatory support strategies during post-extubating in patients submitted to chest surgeries.


Resumo As terapias convencionais para oxigênio usado na clínica veterinária podem ser ineficientes quando oferecendo uma recuperação satisfatória dos pacientes pós qirúrgicos sob procedimentos peito insuficiência respiratória hipoxêmica exigindo estratégias para melhorar os indicadores de oxigenação. O presente trabalho des- creve o uso de cânulas nasais de alto fluxo em dois pacientes submetidos a cirur- gias torácicas sob anestesia geral. Paciente #1 foi submetida a pericardiectomia subfrênica por toracoscopia e paciente #2 foi submetida a uma redução percutânea da fratura de costela com tubo torácico. Ambos os pacientes foram recuperados no pós-operatório com oxigeno terapia de alta vazão nas vazões de 600 e 1.071 mL/kg/ minuto, respectivamente. O oxigênio foi entregue através de um dispositivo comercial de umidificação ativa, tubuladura não condensável com sistema de aquecimento e cânula nasal bilateral, oferecendo temperatura do ar de 37 ºC, umidade de 98% e fração inspirada de oxigênio de 50%. A análise gasométrica percutânea (artéria metatarsal dorsal) foi realizada 15 minutos após a extubação do paciente e uma segunda amostra arterial foi coletada 60 minutos após a instalação do dispositivo de alto fluxo. Um aumento na pressão parcial de oxigênio (PaO2) foi observado sem alterações na pressão parcial de dióxido de carbono (PaCO2). Além disso, tolerancia satisfatória ao dispositivo foi relatada por ambos os pacientes. Cânulas de alto fluxo devem ser consideradas dentro das estratégias de suporte ventilatório não invasivo durante a pós-extubação em pacientes submetidos a cirurgias torácicas.

ABSTRACT

Resumen OBJETIVO: Identificar si hay cambios en la estratificación de la gravedad del síndrome de insuficiencia respiratoria aguda al ingreso y 24 horas después. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Estudio retrospectivo observacional de pacientes que cumplieron criterios de Berlín para síndrome de insuficiencia respiratoria aguda (SIRA) de cualquier origen y que se reestratificaron a las 24 horas con la misma escala analizados durante un periodo de 4 meses durante 2017. Se recabaron los datos de biomarcadores inflamatorios y de la mecánica ventilatoria. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 17 pacientes, de los que 11 fallecieron (65%) y 6 (35%) egresaron a domicilio. La estratificación inicial de los pacientes de acuerdo con la gravedad de la hipoxemia (PaO2/FiO2) mostró 2 (11%) sin SIRA, 3 (17%) con SIRA leve, en 10 (58%) fue moderado y en 2 (11%) grave. A las 24 horas de iniciado el tratamiento convencional, la estratificación de gravedad (PaO2/FiO2) mostró: 9 (52%) sin SIRA, 6 (35.2%) con hipoxemia leve, en uno (5.8%) moderada y en uno (5.8%) grave. CONCLUSIONES: Es necesario estratificar al ingreso y a las 24 horas la gravedad del SIRA, a pesar de que no se mostró ninguna diferencia en el patrón de respuesta inflamatoria a través de la medición de marcadores séricos de uso clínico habitual.


Abstract OBJECTIVE: To identify if there are changes in the stratification of acute respiratory distress syndrome severity at hospitalization and 24 hours later. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A retrospective observational study was done describing patients studied over a 4-month period during 2017, who met Berlin criteria for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) of any origin and who re-stratified at 24 hours, with the same scale. The data of inflammatory biomarkers and ventilatory mechanics were collected. RESULTS: There were included 17 patients, from which 11 patients (64%) died and 6 (35%) were discharged to home. The initial stratification of patients according to the severity of the hypoxemia (PaO2/FiO2) showed 2 (11%) without ARDS, 3 (17%) mild, 10 (58%) moderate, and 2 (11%) severe. At 24 hours after conventional treatment, gravity stratification (PaO2/FiO2) showed: 9 (52%) without ARDS, 6 (35.2%) with mild hypoxemia, in one (5.8%) moderate and in one (5.8%) severe. CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to stratify at the time of admission and at 24 hours the severity of the ARDS, although no difference was shown in the pattern of inflammatory response through the measurement of serum markers of usual clinical use.

En el 94,11% de los pacientes se demostró reversibilidad del SHP. La tasa de mortalidad temprana en los pacientes con SHP fue 10,4%. Conclusiones: La prevalencia del SHP fue del 9,45%. Los pacientes trasplantados con y sin SHP tuvieron similar sobrevida.


Introduction: Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a serious complication of liver disease, which is characterized by the presence of intrapulmonary vasodilation and progressive hypoxemia. Liver transplantation is the only effective treatment. Objective: To show our results of patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome undergoing liver transplantation. Materials and methods: Retrospective, descriptive and cross-sectional study. From March 2000 to December 2016; 226 liver transplants were performed. Of the total, 25 patients were excluded: 12 retransplantation, 9 liver-kidney combined transplants, 2 transplants for acute liver failure, 2 transplants in non-cirrhotic patients. Of the 201 patients with pretransplant diagnosis of liver cirrhosis, 19 filled criteria for SHP; who were distributed according to age, sex, hypoxemia level (pO2), Child-Pugh score and MELD score. The reversibility hypoxemia after liver trasplantation was measured with a cut-off of p0(2) >75 mmHg. Results: The prevalence of SHP in our series was 9.45%. The average age was 41 years (14-65); the M / F ratio of 1.65. The 78.94% (15/19) were adults. 89.5% (17/19) were Score of Child-Pugh B and C, and 68.4% had severe and very severe SHP. In 94.11% of patients, reversibility SHP founded. The early mortality rate (30 days) in patients with SHP was 10.4%. Conclusions: The prevalence of HPS in our series was 9.45%. Transplanted patients with and without SHP had similar survival.

ABSTRACT

Brachycephalic syndrome (BS) in dogs is characterized by the combination of primary and secondary upper respiratory tract abnormalities and may result in significant upper airway obstruction. It can trigger inspiratory dyspnea, culminating in secondary respiratory distress, soft tissue edema, upper airway obstruction, turbulent airflow, inspiratory noise, and even death. These changes lead to increased resistance of the air passages, which can cause elevation of pulmonary pressure and clinical manifestations attributable to pulmonary hypertension. The consequence is right-sided cardiac remodeling (Cor pulmonale) with possible progression to right congestive heart failure. To investigate the effects of BS on the cardiovascular system, 28 animals were recruited for a prospective study and assigned to either the Brachycephalic Group (BG), composed of 22 French bulldogs with BS or the Control Group (CG), which was composed of 6 healthy Beagle dogs. All animals underwent a detailed physical examination, as well as laboratory analyses, electrocardiography, echocardiography, chest radiography and indirect measurement of systemic arterial blood pressure. The most relevant finding was a lower PaO2 (90.6±12.9mmHg) in BG as compared to CG (104.9±5.2), (p≤0.05), possibly attributable to hypoventilation due to anatomical alterations.(AU)


A síndrome braquicefálica (BS) é caracterizada pela combinação de anormalidades primárias e secundárias do trato respiratório superior em cães, podendo resultar em obstrução significativa das vias aéreas superiores. Pode desencadear dispneia inspiratória, culminando em dificuldade respiratória secundária, edema de tecidos moles, obstrução das vias aéreas superiores, fluxo de ar turbulento, ruído inspiratório e até morte. Essas alterações levam ao aumento da resistência da passagem do ar, o que pode causar elevação da pressão pulmonar e manifestações clínicas atribuídas à hipertensão pulmonar. A consequência é o remodelamento cardíaco do lado direito (Cor pulmonale) com possível progressão para insuficiência cardíaca congestiva direita. A fim de averiguar os efeitos da BS sobre o sistema cardiovascular, 28 animais foram recrutados para um estudo prospectivo e distribuídos em Grupo Braquicefálico (GB), composto por 22 Bulldogs franceses com síndrome braquicefálica ou Grupo Controle (GC), composto por 6 cães Beagles saudáveis. Todos os animais foram submetidos a exame físico detalhado, bem como análises laboratoriais, eletrocardiografia, ecocardiografia, radiografias torácicas e mensuração indireta de pressão arterial sistêmica. Os achados mais relevantes foram relacionados ao GB (90,6±12,9mmHg) com menor PaO2 em relação ao GC (104,9±5,2), (p≤0,05), possivelmente atribuível à hipoventilação, em decorrência das alterações anatômicas.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Postoperative hypoxemia is a frequent adverse event in the postanesthetic care unit (PACU). Incidence varies substantially, between 14% and 80%, depending on the complexity of the referral center and the characteristics of the population, with the potential for severe and even fatal outcomes. Objective: To determine the incidence of early postoperative hypoxemia (EPH) in the PACU and identify related clinical factors. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional analytical observational study in adult patients taken to the PACU following surgical procedures under general or neuroaxial anesthesia, between April and May 2017. Peripheral arterial oxygen saturation was recorded on admission to the PACU. Factors associated with the development of EPH were evaluated using simple logistic and multivariate regression step by step. Results: Overall, 365 patients were included. Median age was 49 years (interquartile range 36-63 years), half of them were women (55.3%), and 7.4% had lung disease. Of the total number of patients, 60 developed EPH, for an incidence of 16%. Age, a history of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), and anesthesia time were statistically significant associated factors. The type of anesthesia, the type of surgery, and the surgical site were not significant associated factors. Conclusion: It is recommended to identify elderly patients, a history of OSAS, and potential exposure to prolonged anesthesia time in order to implement strategies designed to reduce the risk of EPH.


Resumen Introducción: La hipoxemia postoperatoria es un evento adverso frecuente en la Unidad de Cuidados Postanestésicos (UCPA). Su incidencia varía ampliamente entre 14 a 80% según la complejidad del centro de referencia y características de la población, con posibilidad de desenlaces severos e incluso fatales. Objetivo: Determinar la incidencia de hipoxemia postoperatoria temprana (HPT) en UCPA y sus factores clínicos relacionados. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional analítico transversal de pacientes adultos ingresados a la UCPA después de ser sometidos a procedimientos quirúrgicos bajo anestesia general o neuroaxial entre abril y mayo 2017. Se registró la saturación arterial periférica de oxígeno al ingreso de UCPA, durante la primera y segunda horas postoperatorias. Los factores asociados al desarrollo de HPT fueron evaluados mediante regresión logística simple y multivariada paso a paso. Resultados: Se incluyeron 365 pacientes. La mediana de edad fue 49 años (rango intercuartíl [RIC] 36-63 años), la mitad fueron mujeres (55.3%) y 7.4% tenían patología pulmonar. De la totalidad de pacientes, 60 desarrollaron HPT representando una incidencia de 16%. La edad, antecedente de Síndrome de Apnea Obstructiva del Sueño (SAOS) y tiempo de anestesia fueron factores asociados estadísticamente significativos. El tipo de anestesia, tipo de cirugía y sitio quirúrgico no fueron factores asociados significativos. Conclusión: Se recomienda identificar de manera prequirúrgica pacientes con edad avanzada, antecedente de SAOS y posible exposición a tiempos prolongados de anestesia, con el fin de implementar estrategias que puedan disminuir el riesgo de HPT.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Introducción: El síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda (SIRA) de causa pulmonar es actualmente una condición que pone en peligro la vida del paciente cuando se desarrolla hipoxemia severa y refractaria. Las estrategias terapéuticas son limitadas e incluso controversiales. La ventilación mecánica en decúbito prono llevada a cabo de manera temprana y prolongada se asocia a incremento en la sobrevida. Objetivos: Determinar la mortalidad asociada al SIRA severo por influenza utilizando como estrategia la ventilación mecánica en decúbito prono prolongada. Materiales y métodos: Estudio prospectivo, transversal, descriptivo y de intervención. Se reclutaron pacientes de marzo de 2016 a abril de 2016 con diagnóstico de SIRA severo por influenza que ingresaron a la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI). Se agrupó a los pacientes de acuerdo con el desenlace (mejoría o defunción). Resultados: Se incluyeron nueve pacientes con una media de edad de 47 ± 16 años. En 78% fueron hombres. La comorbilidad más frecuente fue la HAS con 44%. Ocho pacientes fueron sometidos durante su estancia a ventilación mecánica en decúbito prono y se agruparon según el desenlace. Tres pacientes fallecieron y seis fueron dados de alta de la UCI por mejoría. No se observó diferencia significativa en edad, tiempo de evolución, niveles de pH, PaO2, PaCO2, HCO3, o SOFA a su ingreso en ambos grupos (p > 0.05 en todos los casos). Después de 96 horas de la pronación los valores de la PEEP fueron más altos en los pacientes fallecidos (p = 0.026) y en los parámetros de gasometría arterial se detectó disminución en los niveles O2 y la relación PaO2/FiO2, además de aumento en los requerimientos de FiO2 en los pacientes que fallecieron, siendo estadísticamente significativo (p < 0.05). Otros factores que se analizaron fueron antecedente de HAS, DM 2, tabaquismo, tiempo de pronación, manejo con esteroide y uso de antibióticos previo al ingreso a la UCI. (Prueba exacta de Fisher con p > 0.05 y OR no significativa en todos los casos). Conclusiones: La hipoxemia refractaria es el factor más importante involucrado en la mortalidad en pacientes con influenza y SIRA severo. La ventilación mecánica en decúbito prono temprana y prolongada por 48 horas debería considerarse una práctica habitual en este grupo de pacientes.


Abstract: Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to pulmonary disease is currently a condition that endangers the patient's life, when severe and refractory hypoxemia develops, therapeutic strategies are limited and even controversial. Mechanical ventilation in prone position conducted early and prolonged is associated with increased survival. Objetives: To determine the mortality associated with severe ARDS by influenza using a strategy of prolonged mechanical ventilation in prone position. Materials and Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive study intervention. March 2016 patients were recruited to April 2016 with the diagnosis of severe ARDS, which will enter the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). They were grouped patients according to outcome (improvement or death). Results: Nine patients were included, with a mean age of 47 ± 16 years. 78% were men. The most frequent comorbidity was hypertension with 44%. During their stay, eight patients underwent mechanical ventilation in prone position and were grouped according to the outcome. Three patients died and six were discharged from the ICU for improvement. No significant difference was observed in age, duration, pH levels, PaO2, PaCO2, HCO3 or SOFA at admission in both groups (p > 0.05 in all cases). Ninety six hours after pronation values PEEP were higher in patients who died (p = 0.026) and parameters ABG decrease in O2 levels and PaO2/FiO2 was observed, in addition to increase in FiO2 requirements in the patient who died, were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Other factors that were analyzed were history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, time pronation, handling and use of steroid antibiotics prior to admission to the ICU. (Fisher exact test with p > 0.05 and no significant OR in all cases). Conclusions: Refractory hypoxemia is the most important factor involved with mortality in patients with severe ARDS. Mechanical ventilation in the prone position early and prolonged by 48 hours should be considered a standard practice in this patient group.


Resumo: Introdução: A Síndrome da Angústia Respiratória Aguda (SARA), devido a doença pulmonar é atualmente uma condição que põe em risco a vida do paciente quando desenvolve hipoxemia grave e refratária, as estratégias terapêuticas são limitadas e até mesmo controversas. A ventilação mecânica em decúbito prono realizada mais cedo e prolongada está associada com aumento da sobrevida. Objetivo: Determinar a mortalidade associada com SARA grave por influenza usando como estratégia a ventilação mecânica em decúbito prono prolongada. Materiais e metodos: Estudo prospectivo, transversal, descritivo, de intervenção. Foram recrutados pacientes de março de 2016 a abril de 2016 com diagnóstico de SARA grave por influenza, que foram admitidos na unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI). Os pacientes foram agrupados de acordo com o resultado (melhora ou morte). Resultados: Foram incluídos 9 pacientes, com idade média de 47 ± 16 anos. 78% do sexo masculino. A comorbidade mais frequente foi a HAS com 44%. Durante a estância, oito pacientes foram submetidos a ventilação mecânica na posição decúbito prono e agrupados de acordo com o resultado. Três pacientes faleceram e seis tiveram alta da UTI por melhora. Não foi observada diferença significativa na idade, tempo de evolução, níveis de pH, PaO2, PaCO2, HCO3 ou SOFA na admissão em ambos os grupos (0 > 0.05 em todos os casos). 96 horas após a pronação os valores da PEEP foram maiores nos pacientes que faleceram (p = 0.026) e nos parâmetros da gasometria arterial observou-se uma diminuição nos níveis de O2 e na relação PaO2/FiO2, ademais de um aumento nas necessidades FiO2 nos pacientes que faleceram, sendo estatisticamente significativa (p < 0.05). Outros fatores que foram analisados: antecedente​ de HAS, DM 2, tabagismo, tempo de pronação, tratamento com esteróides e uso de antibióticos prévia admissão na UTI. (Prova exata de Fisher com p > 0.05 e OR não significativa em todos os casos). Conclusões: A hipoxemia refratária é o fator mais importante envolvido com a mortalidade em pacientes com influenza e SARA grave. A ventilação mecânica em decúbito prono precoce e prolongada por 48hrs deve ser considerado uma prática padrão neste grupo de pacientes.

ABSTRACT

Hypoxemia is a major complication of field anesthesia and no studies regarding this occurrence in mules has been done. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate intranasal oxygen supplementation (IOS) in mules (Equus caballus x Equus asinus) anesthetized with ketamine/butorphanol/guaifenesin combination. For this, we used six male, adult mules (322±29kg) which underwent premedication (MPA) with 0.2mg/kg of midazolam intramuscularly after 15 minutes, 0.02mg/kg detomidine IV 5 minutes after, induction IV with combination of ketamine (2mg/mL), butorphanol (22.5mg/mL), and guaifenesin (50mg/mL) (K/B/G) until lateral decumbency. Maintenance was done with the same anesthetic combination. The animals were submitted twice to the protocol described above, 20 days apart, forming two groups. CG: MPA, induction (0.92±0.24mL/kg (mean±SD)), and maintenance (2.2±0.2mL/kg/h) without SIO; TG: MPA, induction (0.98±0.17mL/kg), and maintenance (2.3±0.4mL/kg/h) with IOS flow 40mL/kg/h. During anesthesia arterial blood was collected every 20 minutes (T0, T20, T40, and T60) for blood gas analysis. Data analyzed by ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni test. P<0.05 was considered significant. Hypoxemia of the animals in the CG in periods (59±5; 55±5; 53±7; 49±8) with lower averages than the TG (160±4, 115±34, 92±25, 81±19) was observed, demonstrating that IOS increases PaO2 avoiding the occurrence of hypoxemia.(AU)


A hipoxemia é uma das principais complicações da anestesia a campo, e em muares não existem estudos a respeito dessa ocorrência. Assim, objetivou-se avaliar a suplementação intranasal de oxigênio (SIO) em muares (Equus caballus x Equus asinus) anestesiados com cetamina/butorfanol/guaifenesina associados. Para isso, foram utilizados seis muares, macho e adultos (322±29kg), submetidos à medicação pré-anestésica (MPA) com 0,2mg/kg de midazolam por via intramuscular, após 15 minutos, 0,02mg/kg de detomidina por via intravenosa, após cinco minutos, indução com administração intravenosa da associação de cetamina (2mg/mL), butorfanol (22,5 µg/mL) e guaifenesina (50mg/mL) em solução de glicose a 5% (C/B/G) até o animal assumir o decúbito lateral. A manutenção foi realizada com a mesma associação anestésica. Os animais foram submetidos duas vezes ao protocolo descrito anteriormente, com intervalo de 20 dias, formando dois grupos experimentais. GC -MPA, indução (0,92±0,24mL/kg (média±DP)) e manutenção (2,2±0,2mL/kg/h) sem SIO; GT - MPA, indução (0,98±0,17mL/kg) e manutenção (2,3±0,4mL/kg/h) com SIO, fluxo de 40mL/kg/h. Durante a anestesia, foi colhido sangue arterial a cada 20 minutos (T0, T20, T40 e T60) para hemogasometria. Os dados foram analisados pela ANOVA, seguidos pelo teste de Bonferroni. Valores de P<0,05 foram considerados significativos. Foi observada hipoxemia (PaO2<60mmHg) dos animais no GC nos tempos avaliados (T0= 59±5; T20= 55±5; T40= 53±7; T60= 49±8), com médias menores que as do GT, (160±4; 115±34; 92±25; 81±19, respectivamente), o que demonstrou que a suplementação intranasal de oxigênio aumenta a PaO2, evitando a ocorrência de hipoxemia.
