ABSTRACT

ANTECEDENTES: El 11 de marzo de 2020, la Organización Mundial de la Salud declaró la enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) como pandemia, cuyos casos y gravedad en Chile han sido elevados. Internacionalmente, los profesionales de la salud han debido adaptar sus actividades laborales hacia pacientes mecánicamente ventilados por agravamiento de los síntomas respiratorios. La terapia respiratoria y terapia física que realizan los kinesiólogos en la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) es fundamental, y existe la urgencia por agrupar datos nacionales que permitan describir la situación y así prepararse para futuros aumentos de la carga asistencial en UCI. OBJETIVO: Describir las modificaciones institucionales, laborales y asistenciales, experimentadas por kinesiólogos que se desempeñan en UCI durante y después de la pandemia COVID-19 en Chile. MÉTODOS: Este es el protocolo de un estudio observacional analítico transversal, el cual recopilará información desde el inicio hasta un año iniciada la pandemia. Se incluirán todas las UCI adulto existentes y las creadas por contingencia COVID-19. Se excluirán aquellas que no hayan recibido pacientes en UCI con COVID-19 confirmado. Se aplicará una encuesta online (REDCap®) al kinesiólogo representante de cada centro, la cual recopilará la información anonimizada principalmente a través de selección múltiple y escala Likert. RESULTADOS ESPERADOS: Se espera identificar un alto porcentaje de modificaciones institucionales en las UCI de Chile, y kinesiólogos que se vieron en la necesidad decambiar sus condiciones laborales y asistenciales durante la pandemia, en comparación al período pre-pandemia;cambios que en un menor porcentaje se mantuvieron en el tiempo.


BACKGROUND: On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as a pandemic, whose cases and severity in Chile have been high. Worldwide, health staffs have adapted their working activities focusing mainly on mechanically ventilated patients due to respiratory decline. Respiratory therapy and physical therapy by physiotherapists in the intensive care unit (ICU) are essential, and national data needs to be collected to describe the pandemic-related context to prepare for future increases in the ICU demand. OBJECTIVE: To describe the institutional, workforce and healthcare modifications experienced by the ICU physiotherapists during and after the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile. METHODS: This is the protocol of a cross-sectional study, which will collect information from the beginning to 1 year after the pandemic begins. All existing adult ICUs and those ICUs created during the pandemic will be included. Those who have not received ICU patients with confirmed COVID-19 will be excluded. An online survey will be applied to the physiotherapists representing each ICU, which will collect the anonymous information mainly through multiple selection-choice and Likert scale.EXPECTED RESULTS: We will be expected to identify a high percentage of institutional modifications in the ICUs in Chile, and that the physiotherapists would need of changing their working and healthcare conditions during the pandemic, compared to the pre-pandemic period; changes that in a smaller percentage would be maintained over time.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY BACKGROUND Physiotherapy services are necessary for hospitalized patients of COVID-19 as well as chronic patients. Thus, physiotherapists present an increased risk of exposure to coronavirus. This study aimed to determine the number of physiotherapists who interrupted their services because of the COVID-19 pandemic and to verify the procedures adopted by the ones who are still working. METHODS The sample comprised 619 physiotherapists who worked in Portugal, 154 (24.9%) male and 465 (75.1%) female, aged between 22 and 67 years (34.47±8.70). The measurement instrument was an on-line questionnaire applied in late March 2020 through contacts and social networks. RESULTS 453 (73.2%) physiotherapists interrupted their work activities in person because of the pandemic and 166 (26.8%) continue to work in person. The main measures adopted by physical therapists who continue to work in person included: hand washing (21.5%), mask use (20.3%), material disinfection (19.3%) and, glove use (19.3%). Of the physiotherapists who are not working in person (n = 453), 267 (58.9%) continue to monitor their patients at a distance, and 186 (41.1%) are not monitoring the patients. The main measures used by physiotherapists to monitor their patients at a distance included: written treatment prescription (38%), making explanatory videos (26.7%), and synchronous video conference treatment (23.5%). CONCLUSIONS Our data revealed that most of the physiotherapists interrupted their face-to-face practices because of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, once they do not follow up their patients' treatment in person, most of them adapted to monitor their patients from a distance.


SUMMARY INTRODUÇÃO Os serviços de fisioterapia são necessários para o tratamento de pacientes hospitalizados com COVID-19 e também para pacientes crônicos. Assim, os fisioterapeutas apresentam um maior risco de exposição ao coronavírus. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar o número de fisioterapeutas que interromperam seus serviços devido à pandemia do COVID-19 e verificar os procedimentos adotados pelos fisioterapeutas que continuam trabalhando. METODOLOGIA A amostra foi constituída por 619 fisioterapeutas, que trabalhavam em Portugal, sendo 154 (24,9%) do sexo masculino e 465 (75,1%) do sexo feminino, com idades compreendidas entre os 22 e 67 anos (34,47 ± 8,70 anos). O instrumento de medida utilizado consistiu num questionário online, tendo sido aplicado em finais de março de 2020, através de contatos e redes sociais. RESULTADOS 453 (73.2%) fisioterapeutas interromperam as suas atividades laborais de forma presencial por causa da pandemia e 166 (26.8%) continuam a trabalhar presencialmente. As principais medidas adotadas pelos fisioterapeutas que continuam a trabalhar presencialmente incluíram: lavagem das mãos (21.5%), uso de máscaras (20.3%), desinfecção do material (19.3%) e uso de luvas (19.3%). Dos fisioterapeutas que não estão a trabalhar presencialmente (n=453), 267 (58.9%) continuam a acompanhar os seus pacientes à distância e 186 (41.1%) não estão a acompanhar os pacientes. As principais medidas utilizadas pelos fisioterapeutas para acompanhar os seus pacientes à distância incluíram: prescrição do tratamento por escrito (38%), realização de vídeos explicativos (26.7%) e tratamento por videoconferência de forma síncrona (23.5%). CONCLUSÕES Os dados do presente estudo revelaram que a maioria dos fisioterapeutas interromperam as suas práticas presenciais em virtude da pandemia COVID-19, no entanto, apesar de não estarem a acompanhar os seus pacientes pessoalmente, a maioria deles elaborou ferramentas para monitorar seus pacientes à distância.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: La Sociedad Europea de Medicina de Cuidados Intensivos recomienda la presencia de un Kinesiólogo con formación especializada, disponible cada cinco camas de alta complejidad, los 7 días de la semana en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI). En Chile se desconoce la adherencia de las UCI adulto a esta recomendación. OBJETIVO: Describir las características administrativas y de cobertura kinésica en las UCI adulto chilenas, y de acuerdo con la adherencia a las recomendaciones internacionales, informar a los tomadores de decisión en salud. MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional transversal, basado en encuesta telefónica. Se incluyeron las UCI adultos de establecimientos de mayor complejidad, clínicas privadas y centros asociados a universidades (n = 74). La proporción de instituciones con disponibilidad de kinesiólogos las 24 horas del día, los siete días de la semana (kinesiólogo 24/7), con un número máximo de cinco pacientes por kinesiólogo y presencia de un kinesiólogo especialista fueron reportados. RESULTADOS: La tasa de respuesta fue del 86,5% (n = 64), principalmente públicas (59%) y de nivel III (83%). El 70% (n = 45) de las UCI adulto chilenas cuentan con kinesiólogo 24/7; correspondiendo el 87% al sector público y el 46% al privado. El 41% de los centros posee un máximo de 5 pacientes por kinesiólogo en día hábil diurno, disminuyendo en fines de semana y horarios nocturnos. Un 23% de las UCIs cuenta con kinesiólogo especialista en intensivo, siendo mayor en el sector privado (31%). CONCLUSIONES: En UCI adulto chilenas, la disponibilidad de kinesiólogos 24/7 es alta, y la prevalencia de especialistas es baja. Estrategias de creación de programas de formación de especialidad podrían contribuir a disminuir la brecha de especialistas.


INTRODUCTION: The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine recommends the presence of a specialist physiotherapist, available every five beds, seven days a week in the high complexity Intensive Care Unit. However, in Chile the adherence of adult Intensive Care Units to this recommendation is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To describe the organizational characteristics and the physiotherapist availability in adult Intensive Care Units in Chile, and according to the adherence to international recommendations, inform health decision-makers. METHODS: Observational study based on a telephone survey. All adult Intensive Care Units institutions of high complexity, private hospitals and teaching health centers in Chile were eligible (n = 74). The primary outcome measures were the proportion of institutions with physiotherapist availability 24 hours a day and seven days a week (24/7 physiotherapist), a maximum caseload per physiotherapist of five patients and the presence of a specialist physiotherapist. RESULTS: Response rate was 86.5%, with 59% of responding units being public and 83% offering level III care. 70% of the adult Intensive Care Units in Chile have 24/7 physiotherapist (87% of the public and 46% of the private sector). 41% of the centers had a maximum caseload per physiotherapist of five patients during the day on weekdays. This number decreased on weekends and during night shifts. 23% of the Intensive Care Units had a specialist physiotherapist, being more common in the private sector (31%). CONCLUSIONS: In Chilean adult ICU, 24/7 physiotherapist availability is high, the prevalence of physiotherapists with specialist training is low. Future efforts should focus on promoting the uptake of specialist training.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Many health systems (HS) have adopted novel models of care which have included non-medical prescription (NMP) by physiotherapists. The aim of this study was to verify in the literature the existence of this practice and its possible benefits. A literature review was carried out through search on Science Direct, PubMed, SciELO, Lilacs and Google Scholar, and in the World Confederation for Physical Therapy and Chartered Society of Physiotherapy websites. In recent decades the United Kingdom adopted the NMP for health professionals, followed by Canada. In Australia and New Zealand physiotherapists have acted in the prescription and administration of medications under medical orders, which is the first step into independent prescription. Brazilian physiotherapists cannot prescribe any medication, despite of high demands from patients in the Brazilian HS, shortage of physicians in many regions and bureaucracy in accessing health services. The adoption of NMP by physiotherapists may play an important role in the HS, and it seems to be an inevitable achievement in the next years in Australia and New Zealand. The main benefits include decreasing bureaucracy for assistance, population demands for medication as well as major professional refinement.


Resumo Alguns sistemas de saúde (SS) têm adotado modelos inovadores de assistência que incluem a prescrição não médica (PNM) por fisioterapeutas. Este estudo objetivou verificar na literatura a existência dessa prática e seus possíveis benefícios. Foi realizada revisão da literatura, com buscas na Science Direct, PubMed, SciELO, Lilacs e Google Scholar, e nos sites da World Confederation for Physical Therapy e da Charthered Society of Physiotherapy, entre 2014 e 2015. O Reino Unido adotou a PNM por fisioterapeutas em décadas recentes, exemplo seguido pelo Canadá. Na Austrália e Nova Zelândia, fisioterapeutas têm atuado na prescrição e administração de medicamentos, sob ordens médicas, sendo este o primeiro passo para a prescrição independente. Fisioterapeutas brasileiros não podem prescrever medicamentos, apesar das altas demandas de pacientes, carência de médicos em muitas regiões e burocracia no acesso aos serviços de saúde. A prática da PNM por fisioterapeutas pode preencher um importante papel nos SS, e parece ser uma inevitável realização na Austrália e Nova Zelândia nos próximos anos. Os principais benefícios são a diminuição da burocracia no acesso a medicamentos e demandas populacionais, bem como maior refinamento profissional.

ABSTRACT

A desordem temporomadibular em atletas da modalidade do remo é uma temática ainda pouco abordada na literatura, muito embora se tenha conhecimento que a biomecânica do gesto esportivo possa provocar dores lombares, fratura de costela devido ao estresse, além de dores cervicais provenientes do desprendimento de força, para atingir grande velocidade e manutendo o equilíbrio por um longo tempo. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar, por meio da baropodometria dinâmica, a ação da placa oclusal estabilizadora associada ao exercício terapêutico de movimento mandibular em atletas remadores diagnosticados como portadores de desordem temporomandibular (DTM). Estudos prévios demonstram que um dispositivo intraoclusal (placa oclusal estabilizadora) tem ação significante sobre o sistema de manutenção do equilíbrio corporal na postura estática. Trinta indivíduos remadores apresentaram-se como voluntários com queixa de dor, sendo 10 deles (40% homens e 60% mulheres), com idade entre 24 e 35 anos foram diagnosticados com DTM por meio do preenchimento do questionário RDC/TMD e de exame clínico. O presente estudo piloto foi caracterizado por ser um ensaio clínico, randomizado, controlado, prospectivo e de intervenção. Imediatamente após aplicação do questionário e do exame clínico, todos os indivíduos realizaram testes de


baropodometria estática e dinâmica. Após esta etapa, realizou-se a randomização dos grupos por meio de software online gratuito (www.random.org) que determinou os integrantes do grupo controle, denomindado de Grupo Exercício (GE) e grupo teste denominado de Grupo Placa (GP). Ambos os grupos receberam orientação para a realização do exercício terapeutico de movimento mandibular. Definidos os integrantes do GP, foram realizados agendamento para a realização da etapa de confecção da placa oclusal. Os grupos foram monitorados por 12 semanas e após este período foram reavaliados segundo os mesmos parâmetros da etapa inicial. A análise estatísitca foi realizada utilizando o modelo ANOVA (normalidade e homoscedasticiodade),teste T-Student e teste não paramétrico de Wilcoxon. Os resultados apresentaram significância estatística na redução da dor e aumento da amplitude articular da articulação temporomandibular (ATM) no GP (p<0,05). Não foi observada significância estatísitica na análise da pressão plantar dinâmica, justificado pelo fato da insuficiência do número de invidíduos da amostra. Concluiu-se que o uso da placa oclusal foi eficaz no tratamento da DTM pela redução do quadro doloroso, entretanto, uma amostragem maior se faz necessária pra a verificação da integração entre sistema estomatognático e postural na dinâmica da marcha.


Temporomadibular joint disorder (TMJD) in rower athletes has still few studies over this theme, where the biomechanics of athletic gesture points can produce low back pain, rib stress fractures and cervical pain as resulting from power requirement to obtain high speed and body balance for repeatedly long period exercises. The aim of this study was to analyze through dynamic plantar pressure the effects of occlusal splint and therapeutic exercise of mandibular movement in rowers diagnosed as suffering from TMJD. Previous studies have shown that the occlusal splint has significant action to keep the system of body balance in standing position. 30 rower athletes came as volunteers with pain symptoms, and 10 individuals, 40% men ande 60% women, aged between 24 and 35 years, were diagnosed with TMJD through completion of the RDC/TMD questionnaire and clinical examination. The research was performed by a randomized controlled prospective clinical study besides intervention. Immediately after the questionnaire application and clinical examination, all individuals performed tests of static and dynamic baropodometry. After this procedure, the groups were randomized by using a free online software (www.random.org) which determined the


members of control group, named Exercise Group (EG) and test group called Oclusal Splint Group (OSG). Both groups received guidance for performing only therapeutic exercise of mandibular movement. The OSG were scheduled for the completion of preparation stage for occlusal splint. All groups were monitored for 12 weeks and after this period were evaluated according to the same parameters of the initial step. Statistic analysis was performed by using ANOVA model (normal and homoscedasticity), t-Student test and Wilcoxon nonparametric test. The results showed statistical significance to pain relief and increase of amplitude range of jaw joint in OSG (p < 0.05). No statistical significance was observed in the analysis of dynamic plantar pressure, justified by insufficient statistic population. In conclusion the use of occlusal splint was effective in the treatment of TMJD to pain relief, however, a larger sampling is necessary to verify the integration among stomatognatic system, posture and and gait dynamics analyzes.
