ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La hipertensión arterial es una causa modificable muy prevalente de enfermedades cardiovasculares, accidentes cerebrovasculares y muerte. Medir con exactitud la presión arterial es fundamental, dado que un error de medición de 5 mmHg puede ser motivo para clasificar incorrectamente como hipertensas a 84 millones de personas en todo el mundo. En la presente declaración de posición se resumen los procedimientos para optimizar el desempeño del observador al medir la presión arterial en el consultorio, con atención especial a los entornos de ingresos bajos o medianos, donde esta medición se ve complicada por limitaciones de recursos y tiempo, sobrecarga de trabajo y falta de suministro eléctrico. Es posible reducir al mínimo muchos errores de medición con una preparación adecuada de los pacientes y el uso de técnicas estandarizadas. Para simplificar la medición y prevenir errores del observador, deben usarse tensiómetros semiautomáticos o automáticos de manguito validados, en lugar del método por auscultación. Pueden ayudar también la distribución de tareas, la creación de un área específica de medición y el uso de aparatos semiautomáticos o de carga solar. Es fundamental garantizar la capacitación inicial y periódica de los integrantes del equipo de salud. Debe considerarse la implementación de programas de certificación de bajo costo y fácilmente accesibles con el objetivo de mejorar la medición de la presión arterial.(AU)


ABSTRACT High blood pressure (BP) is a highly prevalent modifiable cause of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and death. Accurate BP measurement is critical, given that a 5-mmHg measurement error may lead to incorrect hypertension status classification in 84 million individuals worldwide. This position statement summarizes procedures for optimizing observer performance in clinic BP measurement, with special attention given to low-tomiddle- income settings, where resource limitations, heavy workloads, time constraints, and lack of electrical power make measurement more challenging. Many measurement errors can be minimized by appropriate patient preparation and standardized techniques. Validated semi-automated/automated upper arm cuff devices should be used instead of auscultation to simplify measurement and prevent observer error. Task sharing, creating a dedicated measurement workstation, and using semi-automated or solar-charged devices may help. Ensuring observer training, and periodic re-training, is critical. Low-cost, easily accessible certification programs should be considered to facilitate best BP measurement practice.(AU)


RESUMO A hipertensão é uma causa altamente prevalente de doença cardiovascular, acidente vascular cerebral e morte. A medição precisa da pressão arterial (PA) é um aspecto crítico, uma vez que erros de mensuração da ordem de 5 mmHg podem levar a uma classificação incorreta do status de hipertensão em 84 milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo. O presente posicionamento resume os procedimentos para otimizar o desempenho do observador (o indivíduo responsável pela mensuração da PA) na mensuração clínica da PA, com atenção especial para contextos de baixa a média renda, onde recursos limitados, cargas de trabalho pesadas, restrições de tempo e falta de energia elétrica tornam mais desafiadora a tarefa de medir a PA. Muitos erros de mensuração podem ser minimizados pela preparação adequada do paciente e pelo uso de técnicas padronizadas. Para simplificar a mensuração e evitar erros do observador, devem-se utilizar dispositivos semiautomatizados ou automatizados validados, com manguito para braço, ao invés de auscultação. O compartilhamento de tarefas, a criação de uma estação de trabalho dedicada à mensuração e o uso de dispositivos semiautomatizados ou com carga solar podem ajudar. É essencial que seja assegurado o treinamento e retreinamento periódico do observador. Programas de certificação de baixo custo e de fácil acesso devem ser considerados para facilitar a adoção das melhores práticas na mensuração da PA.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Estudo com objetivos de avaliar o impacto de condições não ideais de medição na acurácia da medida de pressão arterial (PA) de consultório obtida nos métodos auscultatório e oscilométrico e comparar a efetividade dos métodos para classificar a PA e identificar hipertensão. Ensaio clínico randomizado de equivalência realizado com 282 adultos, entre agosto de 2019 e março de 2020, em Fortaleza, Ceará. Os braços foram compostos por três desvios do protocolo padronizado de medição da PA, os quais, neste estudo, foram denominados condições não ideais de medição: ambiente ruidoso, uso de braçadeira pressórica de tamanho adulto padrão sem que seja esta a indicação do paciente e combinação de ambos. Consideraram-se medidas de pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) e de pressão arterial diastólica (PAD) de controle aquelas obtidas no método auscultatório, seguindo integralmente protocolo padronizado de medição. Medidas de PAS e PAD na condição de teste foram obtidas mediante inserção dos desvios de protocolo durante a medição realizada nos métodos auscultatório, com esfigmomanômetro aneroide, ou no oscilométrico, utilizando monitor automático para uso clínico. Medições auscultatórias foram realizadas simultaneamente por dois observadores e conferidas por um terceiro. Para cada participante, foram obtidas seis medidas sequenciais, intercalando-se aneroide e monitor, das quais duas primeiras em condições ideais e seguintes em não ideais. Testes de diferenças de médias foram usados para comparar valores pressóricos obtidos nos métodos auscultatório e oscilométrico. Adotaram-se plotagens de Bland-Altman para avaliar equivalência entre métodos. Os desvios de protocolo causaram maior impacto no método auscultatório e na PAD (PAS: 0,57 mmHg x 0,20 mmHg; PAD: 3,29 mmHg x -0,92 mmHg, respectivamente para auscultatório e oscilométrico). Uso de braçadeira adulto padrão acarretou maior redução de acurácia em ambos os métodos, em detrimento do ambiente ruidoso. Medição com braçadeira de tamanho inferior ao adequado gerou superestimação de PAS similar entre os métodos e de PAD maior no auscultatório. O monitor automático atendeu, em condições ideais e não ideais, aos pressupostos de equivalência, mostrando-se tão acurado quanto o esfigmomanômetro manual quando o protocolo de medição da pressão arterial é integralmente seguido, bem como nas situações em que há desvios relacionados ao tamanho da braçadeira e à presença de ruídos. Embora os métodos auscultatório e oscilométrico sejam equivalentes, as diferenças de acurácia naturalmente existem. Diante dos desvios de protocolo, a acurácia do auscultatório para classificar valores de PA foi 75,18% e do oscilométrico, 74,82%; a efetividade para identificação de hipertensão foi 95,15% e 95,52%, respectivamente. Em todas as condições de teste, o oscilométrico apresentou melhores medidas diagnósticas. Conclui-se que monitores automáticos oscilométricos e esfigmomanômetros possuem acurácia equivalente em condições ideais e não ideais de medição. Nos desvios de protocolo testados, os métodos mostraram efetividade similar para classificar valores de PA e identificar hipertensão. Nessas condições, ambos os métodos possuem maior capacidade preditiva de identificação de indivíduos verdadeiramente sem hipertensão arterial, em detrimento da identificação de pessoas com a doença.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Identificar a melhor evidência científica sobre a correta aferição da pressão arterial. Métodos: revisão sistematizada da literatura com levantamento em ambiente virtual no período de setembro a dezembro de 2016, com textos publicados nas bases virtuais LILACS, PubMed, SciELO e Scopus. O material foi lido e as informações organizadas em quadro. Resultados: foram obtidos 12 artigos, oito abordavam a técnica de aferição em dois tempos, dois discutiram a eficácia de valores obtidos com aparelhos digitais, um debateu a eficácia do rastreômetro, e um comparou a aferição invasiva e não invasiva. Conclusão: o método indireto auscultatório é o mais utilizado para aferição de pressão arterial. Nesse procedimento inclui-se a técnica em dois tempos, considerada padrão ouro na acurácia dos valores e recomendada por normatizações. Recursos como aparelho digital e rastreômetro não apresentam a mesma acurácia, porém são importantes no diagnóstico da hipertensão. São alternativas para garantir a confiabilidade da medida das cifras: estabelecer protocolos para o procedimento, fornecer equipamentos adequados e educação continuada.(AU)


Objective: To identify the best scientific evidence on the correct measurement of arterial pressure. Methods: Systematic review of the literature with a virtual environment survey from September to December 2016, with texts published in the virtual databases LILACS, PubMed, SciELO and Scopus. The material has been read, and the information organized in frame. Results: Twelve articles were obtained, eight were on the technique of measurement in two times, two discussed the effectiveness of values obtained with digital devices, one discussed the effectiveness of the trace meter, and one compared the invasive and noninvasive measurement. Conclusion: the indirect auscultatory method is the most used for blood pressure measurement. This procedure includes the two-stroke technique, considered gold standard in the accuracy of values and recommended by standardization. Features such as digital apparatus and tracker do not present the same accuracy, but are important in the diagnosis of hypertension. They are alternatives to guarantee the reliability of the measurement of the numbers: to establish protocols for the procedure, to provide adequate equipment and continuous education.(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective To develop and test a beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring device during coronary angiography, and compare it with invasive blood pressure monitoring. Methods Twenty-eight patients with an indication for hemodynamic study were selected for this investigation, and kept in supine position. Before starting the coronary angiography, they were instructed about the use of the left radial bracelet for beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring. Results There was a significant difference between the time required for the catheterization laboratory team to acquire the first invasive blood pressure reading and the time to obtain the first beat-to-beat reading (11.1±5.1 and 1.5±1.8, respectively; p<0.0001). The intraclass correlation coefficients (95%CI) of systolic and diastolic blood pressures were 0.897 (0.780-0.952) and 0.876 (0.734-0.942), indicating good reproducibility. Conclusion This study showed the process to develop a beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring device. When compared to invasive blood pressure monitoring, there were no significant differences between the two methods. This technique may play a promising coadjuvant role when combined with invasive monitoring during coronary angiography procedures.


RESUMO Objetivo Desenvolver e validar um equipamento para monitorização de pressão arterial batimento a batimento, durante a realização de coronariografia, e comparar com as medidas de pressão arterial invasiva obtidas. Métodos Foram selecionados 28 pacientes com indicação de estudo hemodinâmico, que permaneceram em decúbito dorsal horizontal e, antes do início da coronariografia, foram orientados quanto ao uso da pulseira radial esquerda para monitorização da pressão arterial batimento a batimento. Resultados Houve diferença significativa entre o tempo necessário para a equipe de hemodinâmica adquirir a primeira medida da pressão arterial invasiva e o tempo da primeira medida da pressão arterial batimento a batimento (11,1±5,1 e 1,5±1,8, respectivamente; p<0,0001). Os coeficientes de correlação intraclasse (IC95%) da pressão arterial sistólica e da diastólica foram 0,897 (0,780-0,952) e 0,876 (0,734-0,942), indicando boa reprodutibilidade. Conclusão Este estudo demonstrou o processo de desenvolvimento de um equipamento para avaliação da pressão arterial batimento a batimento. Quando comparado com a pressão arterial invasiva, não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre as duas medidas. Essa técnica pode constituir ferramenta coadjuvante promissora, associada à monitorização invasiva, durante procedimentos de coronariografia.

ABSTRACT

Background A correct blood pressure (BP) measurement is essential for the diagnosis and control of high BP. Aim: To evaluate the agreement and repeatability of BP measurements with the OMRON HEM-7320-LA device compared to a mercury sphygmomanometer. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study comparing BP measurements made by two randomly selected trained nurses and an automatic oscillometric device. The mercurial sphygmomanometer was connected to the automated device via a "T" type connector and a dual-head stethoscope was used, allowing simultaneous measurements. The results were analyzed with one-factor analysis of variance, Bland-Altman's test, repeatability coefficient (RC), and intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: Forty-nine participants aged 56 ± 19 years were included. Nineteen had hypertension (38%). We did not observe a significant difference in either systolic (SBP) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) pressure measurements between the observers and the device. The mean difference was −0.09 mmHg (95% confidence intervals (CI)-0.9 to 0.7) for SBP and −0.9 mmHg (95% CI −1.7 to −0.13) for DBP. The RC for SBP (6.2, 5.2 and 5.8 mmHg) and DBP (4.7, 4.2 y 5.2 mmHg) was similar between the observers and the device. The ICC for SBP was 0.990 (95% CI 0.983 to 0.995, p < 0.01) and 0.986 (95% CI 0.977 to 0.991, p < 0.01) for DBP. Conclusions: There was a high level of agreement and similar measurement repeatability in the measurements performed by the automatic device and the mercurial sphygmomanometer. No differences in BP measurements were observed.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: Increasing use of medical devices outside of healthcare facilities inevitably requires connectivity and interoperability between medical devices and healthcare information systems. To this end, standards have been developed and used to provide interoperability between personal health devices (PHDs) and external systems. ISO/IEEE 11073 standards and IHE PCD-01 standard messages have been used the most in the exchange of observation data of health devices. Recently, transmitting observation data using the HL7 FHIR standard has been devised in the name of DoF (Devices on FHIR) and adopted very fast. We compare and analyze these standards and suggest that which standard will work best at the different environments of device usage. METHODS: We generated each message/resource of the three standards for observed vital signs from blood pressure monitor and thermometer. Then, the size, the contents, and the exchange processes of these messages are compared and analyzed. RESULTS: ISO/IEEE 11073 standard message has the smallest data size, but it has no ability to contain the key information, patient information. On the other hand, PCD-01 messages and FHIR standards have the fields for patient information. HL7 DoF standards provide reusing of information unit known as resource, and it is relatively easy to parse DoF messages since it uses widely known XML and JSON. CONCLUSIONS: ISO/IEEE 11073 standards are suitable for devices having very small computing power. IHE PCD-01 and HL7 DoF messages can be used for the devices that need to be connected to hospital information systems that require patient information. When information reuse is frequent, DoF is advantageous over PCD-01.

ABSTRACT

In aging society the development of non-invasive continuously blood pressure monitors which are suitable for homes, communities and nursing homes has a wide range of applications. This paper proposes a non-invasive continuously blood pressure monitoring based on wearable device which uses MSP430F5529 as the central processor. The design is divided into signal acquisition module, central control module, display module, power supply module and host computer module. The experimental results showed that DBP (375/390, 96.15%) and SBP estimation values (377/390, 96.67%) are in 95% confidence interval, which means our design passes Bland-Altman test with high accuracy and stability.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: Hypertension (HTN) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Considering the importance of this disease for public health, this study was designed in order to determine the prevalence, awareness, treatment, control, and risk factors of HTN in the Iranian adult population.METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 2,107 residents of Isfahan, Iran. Samples were selected through multi-stage random cluster sampling in 2015-2016. The outcome variable was HTN, determined by measuring blood pressure in the right arm via a digital arm blood pressure monitor. Awareness, treatment, and control of HTN were assessed by a validated and reliable researcher-developed questionnaire. Other demographic and clinical variables were assessed via a demographic questionnaire.RESULTS: The overall prevalence of HTN was 17.3% (18.9 and 15.5% in men and women, respectively). The prevalence of HTN increased in both genders with age. The prevalence of awareness of HTN among people with HTN was 69.2%, of whom 92.4 and 59.9% were taking medication for HTN and had controlled HTN, respectively. Logistic regression identified age, body mass index, having diabetes and hyperlipidemia, and a positive family history of HTN as determinants of awareness of HTN.CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that HTN was highly prevalent in the community, especially in men and in middle-aged and older adults. Approximately 30.8% of patients were unaware of their disease, and there was less awareness among younger adults. Despite the high frequency of taking medication to treat HTN, it was uncontrolled in more than 40.1% of patients. Health policy-makers should therefore consider appropriate preventive and therapeutic strategies for these high-risk groups.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of a mobile wireless digital automatic blood pressure monitor for clinical use and mobile health (mHealth). In this study, a manual sphygmomanometer and a digital blood pressure monitor were tested in 100 participants in a repetitive and sequential manner to measure blood pressure. The guidelines for measurement used the Korea Food & Drug Administration protocol, which reflects international standards, such as the American National Standard Institution/Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation SP 10: 1992 and the British Hypertension Society protocol. Measurements were generally consistent across observers according to the measured mean ± SD, which ranged in 0.1 ± 2.6 mmHg for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and 0.5 ± 2.2 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure (DBP). For the device and the observer, the difference in average blood pressure (mean ± SD) was 2.3 ± 4.7 mmHg for SBP and 2.0 ± 4.2 mmHg for DBP. The SBP and DBP measured in this study showed accurate measurements that satisfied all criteria, including an average difference that did not exceed 5 mmHg and a standard deviation that did not exceed 8 mmHg. The mobile wireless digital blood pressure monitor has the potential for clinical use and managing one's own health.

ABSTRACT

Micro preemies usually undergo arterial catheterization for frequent blood pressure monitoring and blood sampling. Peripheral tissue injury associated arterial catheterization is a well-described morbidity observed in neonates. Despite the potential permanent disability associated with this complication, the currently available therapeutic options remain limited. We report a unique case of a preterm infant who developed severe tissue ischemia after arterial catheterization of the radial artery and was successfully treated using extensive humidification and topical nitroglycerin ointment application over an extended period (36 days) until complete clinical recovery.

ABSTRACT

Dental treatment is often performed under general anesthesia or sedation when an intellectually disabled patient has a heightened fear of treatment or has difficulty cooperating. When it is impossible to control the patient due to the severity of intellectual disability, conscious sedation is not a viable option, and only deep sedation should be performed. Deep sedation is usually achieved by propofol infusion using the target controlled infusion (TCI) system, with deep sedation being achieved at a slightly lower concentration of propofol in disabled patients. In such cases, anesthesia depth monitoring using EEG, as with a Bispectral Index (BIS) monitor, can enable dental treatment under appropriate sedation depth. In the present case, we performed deep sedation for dental treatment on a 27-year-old female patient with mental retardation and severe dental phobia. During sedation, we used BIS and a newly developed Anesthetic Depth Monitor for Sedation (ADMS™), in addition to electrocardiography, pulse oximetry, blood pressure monitoring, and capnometry for patient safety. Oxygen was administered via nasal prong to prevent hypoxemia during sedation. The BIS and ADMS™ values were maintained at approximately 70, and dental treatment was successfully performed in approximately 30 min..

ABSTRACT

Objective: To identify the cause of the invasive blood pressure alarms (PAI) have sounded and the staff response time; to describe the conduct set out to address them. Method: Descriptive study of quantitative/qualitative approach. The observation occurred in an adult ICU of a military hospital in Rio de Janeiro. The Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (CAAE03284612.4.3001.5250) approved it. We considered as fatigued the alarms that had not been attended in 10minutes or stopped ringing before they are attended. Results: Were corded 76-PAI alarms; 21 (28%) were seen on average at 2.45 min. 55 (72%) were considered alarms fatigued. Conclusion: The high number o foutworn alarms that represent risk. It is a challenge to respond to all alarms considering the relation between the nurse/patient imposed by ANVISA.


Objetivo: Identificar porque soam os alarmes de pressão arterial invasiva (PAI) e o tempo de resposta da equipe; descrever as condutas estabelecidas para saná-los. Método: Pesquisa descritiva de abordagem quanti/qualitativa. A observação ocorreu em uma UTI adulto de um hospital militar no Rio de Janeiro. Foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (CAAE03284612.4.3001.5250).
