ABSTRACT

Introdução: Durante o tratamento ambulatorial da criança ou adolescente com doença oncohematológica são necessárias inúmeras internações hospitalares e o estabelecimento de um acesso venoso vascular de longa permanência se faz necessário para realização do tratamento quimioterápico. Objetivos: Identificar o perfil clínico de crianças/adolescentes com doença oncohematológica e as características dos cateteres utilizados para realização do seu tratamento; Identificar as principais complicações a partir da manipulação destes cateteres; Elaborar fluxograma de Terapia Lock em cateter totalmente implantado; Elaborar rotina de manipulação do cateter totalmente implantado; Aprimorar a ficha de vigilância epidemiológica que contemple os diferentes tipos de procedimentos realizados durante a manipulação dos cateteres; Realizar um curso de manipulação segura de Cateter Totalmente Implantado. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa de 78 fichas de vigilância epidemiológica dos cateteres totalmente implantados e dos cateteres epicutâneo; o cenário do estudo foi um ambulatório de oncohematologia pediátrica localizado em um Hospital Federal do município do Rio de Janeiro, os dados foram coletados em agosto 2015. O projeto foi aprovado com o parecer de número: 1.213.979. Resultados: Os dados levantados nos mostraram que as crianças que realizam tratamento hematológico tiveram um ou mais cateteres. Observou-se que n=32 (59%) dos portadores de cateter totalmente implantado eram do sexo masculino, e n=sete (53%) dos portadores de cateter epicutâneo eram do sexo feminino, a idade variava entre 10 a 16 anos, o principal diagnóstico foi leucemia linfoide aguda em ambos. A média de utilização do cateter totalmente implantado foi 303 dias, enquanto do cateter epicutâneo foi 55 dias, o término do tratamento é o principal motivo de retirada de ambos. A falta de preenchimento de informações nas fichas foi limitador desta pesquisa. Conclusão: Conclui-se que os dois dispositivos levantados por esta pesquisa, desde que indicados e manipulados de forma correta, conseguem cumprir com o objetivo proposto que é proporcionar um tratamento ininterrupto e seguro para o paciente. Havia necessidade de padronizar a rotina de manipulação do cateter totalmente implantado afim de que toda a equipe envolvida realizasse as técnicas de forma segura e eficaz reduzindo assim as chances de complicações relacionadas a este dispositivo.

ABSTRACT

El ojo seco constituye una de las principales afecciones de la superficie ocular por la que acuden las personas a la consulta de Oftalmología. El 70 % de los pacientes con este diagnóstico presentan algún signo relacionado con la enfermedad de las glándulas de Meibomio y su control con los tratamientos habituales continúa siendo un problema. Las compresas calientes y los lavados con champú infantil darán alivio temporal, pero por lo general son abandonados por los pacientes. Otro enfoque es la expresión de las glándulas de Meibomio, la cual es molesta y por lo general necesita realizarse más de una vez; de ahí que el sondeo quirúrgico de esta sea una alternativa a utilizar. El sondaje mediante las sondas de Maskin introducidas desde el 2009 constituye una nueva modalidad terapéutica, la cual, de acuerdo con el conocimiento de los autores, no había sido introducida previamente en el país. La no disponibilidad de sondas con este fin en Cuba fue la motivación para diseñarla con el objetivo de permeabilizar los conductos excretores en la disfunción obstructiva de las glándulas de Meibomio (O- MGD), y así implementar esta técnica. Este dispositivo se construyó con medios propios en el taller de prototipos del laboratorio, de acuerdo con las características anatómicas del sistema glandular. Actualmente se usa de manera regular por doctores con resultados alentadores, como en los casos que se presentan.


Dry eye is one of the main eye surface diseases that make people go to the ophthalmological service. Seventy percent of patients with such diagnosis present with some type of symptoms related to the meibonian gland disease and its control with the regular treatments remains a problem. Hot pads and washing using shampoo for children give temporary relief, but are generally the patients do not comply with them for a long period of time. Another approach is the meibonian gland expression, which is uncomfortable and the treatment should be repeated more than once. Hence, the surgical probing seems to be a good alternative. Probing with Maskin probes introduced in 2009 is a new therapeutic variant which, according to the authors, had not been practiced in Cuba before. The lack of this type of probes in Cuba was the main incentive for their design in order to create permeabilization of the excretory ducts in the obstructive meibonian gland dysfunction, and to implement this technique. The devise was built with the resources of the lab prototype shop, taking the anatomical characteristics of the glandular system into consideration. The probes are presently used on a regular basis by ophthalmologists with encouraging results as in the reported cases.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess factors associated with the establishment of permanent vascular access for patients with end-stage renal disease. METHODS: Cross-sectional study conducted in a nationally representative sample of Brazilian end-stage renal disease patients in dialysis and transplant centers during 2007. The sample comprised only patients who received hemodialysis as a primary therapy modality and reported the type of vascular access for their primary hemodialysis treatment (N=2,276). Data were from the TRS Project - "Economic and Epidemiologic Evaluation of Modalities of Renal Replacement Therapy in Brazil". Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess factors associated with the establishment of permanent vascular access in these patients. RESULTS: About 30 percent of the patients studied had an arteriovenous vascular access. The following factors were associated with a lower likelihood of having an arteriovenous vascular access as a primary type of access: time of hemodialysis start since the diagnosis of chronic renal failure < 1 year; shorter dialysis therapy; having no private health insurance; living in the central-western, northeastern and southeastern regions of Brazil; and living in the northern region plus having no private health insurance. In the final model there was found a positive association between the outcome and pre-dialysis care and no were association with socioeconomic and comorbidity variables. CONCLUSIONS: The study results showed that the focus should on pre-dialysis care to increase the establishment of an arteriovenous vascular access before starting hemodialysis in Brazil.


OBJETIVO: Analisar fatores associados à provisão de acesso vascular arteriovenoso no Brasil. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal, nacionalmente representativo, com pacientes com doença renal crônica terminal acompanhados em serviços de diálise ou em centros transplantadores no ano de 2007. A amostra incluiu apenas pacientes que tiveram a hemodiálise como primeira modalidade de tratamento e que sabiam com que tipo de acesso vascular haviam iniciado o tratamento (N = 2.276). Os dados são oriundos do Projeto TRS - "Avaliação econômico-epidemiológica das modalidades de Terapia Renal Substitutiva no Brasil". Regressão logística múltipla foi utilizada. RESULTADOS: Aproximadamente 30 por cento dos pacientes tinham acesso vascular arteriovenoso. Os fatores associados à baixa probabilidade de ter acesso vascular arteriovenoso como primeiro tipo de acesso foram: tempo de diagnóstico de doença renal crônica anterior à entrada em hemodiálise < 1 ano, menor tempo de tratamento dialítico, não possuir cobertura de plano de saúde, residir na região Centro-Oeste, Nordeste e Sudeste, e residir na região Norte e ao mesmo tempo não possuir cobertura de plano de saúde. No modelo final não foi observada associação do desfecho com variáveis socioeconômicas e comorbidades, mas sim com cuidados pré-diálise. CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados mostram que, para aumentar a provisão de acesso vascular arteriovenoso antes do início da hemodiálise no Brasil, os esforços devem ser focados no cuidado pré-diálise.

ABSTRACT

Vascular access [VA] dysfunction is a major clinical complication in the hemodialysis [HD] population and has a direct effect on dialysis outcome. Neointimal hyperplasia causes vascular stenosis and subsequent thrombosis, which result in vascular access failure in patients undergoing HD. interleukin10 [IL-10] and C-reactive protein are involved in this inflammatory process. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between vascular access failure and IL-10 level and explore the role of microinflammation in the VA dysfunction in pediatric patients on maintenance HD. Forty children receiving maintenance HD with arteriovenous fistula [AVF] in place or an artificial graft [AVG] or tunneled permanent catheter [TPC] were included for this study. They were divided into two groups: group 1 [n=26], children with good vascular access and group 2 [n=14] children with vascular access failure. Twenty healthy children were matched as controls for serum IL-10 and high sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP] levels. Clinical and laboratory data including serum IL-10 and hs-CRP levels were compared. Female gender, hypoproteinemia, and hypercholesterolemia were associated with vascular access failure. Serum IL-b in group 2 was significantly higher than those in group 1 and in controls [[45.68 +/- 29.62] pg/mi vs [31.07 +/- 22.01] pg/mi and [12.70 +/- 9.76] pg/mI, p<0.05, and p<0.001, respectively]. Serum hs-CRP in group 2 was significantly higher than those in group I and in controls [[5.27 +/- 5.44] mg/L vs [2.32 +/- 2.30] mg/L and [1.36 +/- 0.67] mg/L, P<0.01 and P<0.005, respectively]. Moreover, serum hs-CRP level was negatively correlated with IL-10 levels [r=-0.36, p=0.01].Also, serum hs-CRP level was negatively correlated with serum albumin [r=-0. 78, p=0.04], serum cholesterol [r=-0.91, p=0.002] and fractional shortening percentage on cardiac echo [r=-0.36,p=0.01]. Multiple regression analysis confirmed AVG and TPC, uremic cardiovascular disease, vascular access duration and WBC as factors independently influencing CRP levels. Patients with VA dysfunction have significant higher levels of serum IL-10 and hs-CRP. An altered immune response and microinflammation might contribute to vascular access failure. AVG and TPC have a higher degree of chronic inflammation than AVF

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To measure device-associated infection (DAI) rates, microbiological profiles, bacterial resistance, extra length of stay, and attributable mortality in intensive care units (ICUs) in three Brazilian hospitals that are members of the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC). METHODS: Prospective cohort surveillance of DAIs was conducted in five ICUs in three city hospitals in Brazil by applying the definitions of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System (CDC-NNIS). RESULTS: Between April 2003 and February 2006, 1 031 patients hospitalized in five ICUs for an aggregate 10 293 days acquired 307 DAIs, a rate of 29.8 percent or 29.8 DAIs per 1 000 ICU-days. The ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) rate was 20.9 per 1 000 ventilator-days; the rate for central venous catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CVC-BSI) was 9.1 per 1 000 catheter-days; and the rate for catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) was 9.6 per 1 000 catheter-days. Ninety-five percent of all Staphylococcus aureus DAIs were caused by methicillin-resistant strains. Infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae were resistant to ceftriaxone in 96.7 percent of cases, resistant to ceftazidime in 79.3 percent of cases, and resistant to piperacillin-tazobactam in 85.7 percent of cases. Pseudomonas aeruginosa DAIs were resistant to ciprofloxacin in 71.3 percent of cases, resistant to ceftazidime in 75.5 percent of cases, and resistant to imipenem in 27.7 percent of cases. Patients with DAIs in the ICUs of the hospitals included in this study presented extra mortality rates of 15.3 percent (RR 1.79, P = 0.0149) for VAP, 27.8 percent (RR 2.44, P = 0.0004) for CVC-BSI, and 10.7 percent (RR 1.56, P = 0.2875) for CAUTI. CONCLUSION: The DAI rates were high in the ICUs of the Brazilian hospitals included in this study. Patient safety can be improved through the implementation of an ...

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Conhecer as indicações e os fatores relacionados ao procedimento de acesso venoso central em crianças de idade entre 0 e 2 anos internadas na UTINeonatal e Pediátrica do Hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição (HNSC), na Cidade de Tubarão, Santa Catarina,entre novembro de 2001 e novembro de 2005. Métodos: Estudo observacional, com delineamento transversal, constituído por pacientes com idade entre 0 e 2 anos submetidos ao procedimento de acesso venosocentral e que estiveram internadas na UTI Neonatal e Pediátrica do HNSC entre novembro de 2001 e novembrode 2005. Realizou-se a coleta de dados a partir de prontuários dos pacientes.Resultados: Houve predominância do sexo masculino, 57,7%. A maior proporção dos pacientes tinha idademédia de 2,47 meses. A administração de hidratação endovenosa e drogas foi a principal indicação para o acesso (87,7%), seguida pela indicação de nutrição parenteral em 60%. O cateter com calibre 17G foi o mais utilizado em todos os vasos dissecados, independente da idade. Em 99,2% a via de acesso utilizada foi a dissecçãodo vaso. Dentre os vasos dissecados, a veia basílica foi a mais utilizada, 60,8% das vezes. Óbito foi à causa da retirada do cateter em 30,8% das vezes. Complicações ocorreram em 10,2% dos casos, com predomínio das complicações tardias (7,9%). Conclusão: Os cateteres inseridos em vasos centrais proporcionam um acesso vascular prolongado, com baixo risco de complicações e segurança para o paciente. A veia basílica é uma via segura para se obter um acesso venoso central, com índices de complicaçõesmuito baixos. As taxas de complicações encontradas no presente estudo foram menores que as encontradas naliteratura.


Aim: Know the signs and the factors related to the procedure of central venous access in children from 0to 2 years old, hospitalized in Neonatal and Pediatric ICU (Intensive Care Unit) of Nossa Senhora da ConceiçãoHospital (HNSC), in Tubarão city, Santa Catarina, from November 2001 to November 2005. Methods: observational study, with cross design,consisting by patients from 0 to 2 years old, submitted to the procedure of central venous access and who werehospitalized in HNSC Neonatal and Pediatric ICU from November 2001 to November 2005. Data collection wasmade from the patient’s medical reports.Results: There was a predominance of male, 57.7%. The largest proportion of the patients had an average age of 2.47 months. The administration of intravenous hydration and drugs was the main indication for the access (87.7%), followed by the indication ofparenteral nutrition in 60%. The catheter with calibre 17G was the most used in all dissected vessels, regardlessof age. In 99.2%, the path of access used was vessel dissection. Among the dissected vessels, the basilic vein was the most used, 60.8% of the situations. Death was why the catheter was withdrawn in 30.8% of the situations. Complications occurred in 10.2% of cases, with predominance of late complications (7.9%). Conclusion: The catheters inserted in central vesselsprovided an extended vascular access, with low risk of complications, and safety for the patient. The basilicvein is a safe path to get to a central venous access with very low rates of complications. The rates of complicationsfound in this study were lower than those ones found in the literature.

ABSTRACT

Background: The implementation of the AUGE plan for renal failure in Chile in August 2002, generated larger waiting list for outpatient care. Aim: To analyze the incidence of terminal renal failure, the proportion of patients that were admitted to hemodialysis using a definitive vascular access and the lapse of use of transitory catheters, before and after the implementation of AUGE in Calama. Material and Mehtods: Since 1999, in a dialysis center of Calama, all new patients that are admitted to hemodialysis and the type of vascular access they have are registered. Using this registry, the incidence of terminal renal failure and the lapse between the admission to the center and the installation of a definitive vascular access were calculated for the period 2000 to 2005. Results: From January 2000 to December 2003, the incidence of terminal renal failure was stable in 190 ± 21 patients per million inhabitants (ppmh). It decreased between January and September 2004 to 124 ± 18.6. Afterwards, it progressively increased to 221 ± 21 ppmh. In the study period, the proportion of patients admitted to hemodialysis with a definitive access decreased from 63 to 10 percent (p<0.01) and the mean lapse of transitory catheter use, increased from 32.9 ± 42.6 to 73.1 ± 80.4 days (p<0.01). Conclusions: The implementation of AUGE for chronic renal failure reduced the quality of care of patients admitted to hemodialysis.

ABSTRACT

Semiquantitative (Maki) and quantitative (Brun-Buisson) culture techniques were employed in the diagnosis of catheter-related bloodstream infections(CRBSI) in patients who have a short-term central venous catheter (inserted for 30 days). The diagnosis of CRBSI was based on the results of semiquantitative and quantitative culture of material from the removed catheters. Catheter tips (118) from 100 patients were evaluated by both methods. Semiquantitative analysis revealed 34 catheters (28.8%) colonized by greater or equal 15 colonyforming units (cfu), while quantitative cultures (34 catheters, 28.8%) showed the growth of greater or equal 103 cfu/mL. Bacteremia was confirmed in four patients by isolating microorganisms of identical species from both catheters and blood samples. Using the semiquantitative culture technique on short-term central venous catheter tips, we have shown that with a cut-off level of greater or equal 15 cfu, the technique had 100.0% sensitivity, specificity of 68.4%, 25.0% positive predictive value (PPV) and 100.0% negative predictive value (NPV), efficiency of 71.4% and a prevalence of 9.5%. The quantitative method, with a cut-off limit of greater or equal 103 cfu/mL, gave identical values: the sensitivity was 100.0%, specificity 68.4%, positive predictive value (PPV) 25.0%, negative predictive value(NPV) 100.0%, efficiency 71.4% and prevalence 9.5%. We concluded that the semiquantitative and quantitative culture methods, evaluated in parallel, for the first time in Brazil, have similar sensitivity and specificity.

ABSTRACT

Cateteres venosos totalmente implantados são utilizados em pacientes com síndrome do intestino curto, para realizar o suporte nutricional parenteral, o qual mantém estes pacientes vivos, pois fornece-lhes nutrientes que são absorvidos pela via digestiva. No entanto, estes cateteres não são isentos de complicações. As infecções relacionadas aos cateteres venosos são as complicações mais temidas e sua incidência varia de 3 por cento a 20 por cento, aumentando em pacientes mais graves. O objetivo do presente estudo é descrever as complicações infecciosas em pacientes recebendo nutrição parenteral por meio de cateteres venosos totalmente implantados. Tais cateteres são utilizados pela Divisão de Nutrição Clínica do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo, para realizar o suporte nutricional parenteral em pacientes submetidos a ressecções extensas de intestino delgado. Foram avaliadas as complicações infecciosas ocorridas com 21 cateteres, implantados em 16 pacientes. O tempo de permanência dos cateteres foi de 768±664,3 dias (mediana 529 dias) e a taxa de infecção foi de 0,029 infecções/paciente/ano, resultados que se comparam às taxas de infecção observadas em países desenvolvidos. Concluiu-se que os cuidados observados no manuseio destes cateteres foram de fundamental importância para diminuir a incidência de infecção nestes pacientes.

Los tratamientos endovenosos prolongados, inicialmente, en pacientes oncológicos, requieren de catéteresendovenosos centrales de larga duración. En nuestro hospital, este tipo de tecnología se ha utilizado desde 1989. Presentamos nuestra experiencia con 54 pacientes pediátricos que requirieron catéteres centrales endovenosos, durante los años 1989 y 1997. Se extrajeron datos de las fichas clínicas, concernientes a edad, diagnóstico, tipo de catéteres, ubicación, complicaciones, tiempo de uso del catéter, entre otros

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: evaluar los resultados en la confección y mantenimiento de accesos vasculares para hemodiálisis. Material y métodos: revisión retrospectiva de registros de pacientes operados siguiendo un protocolo previamente establecido. Resultados: se efectuaron 148 accesos vasculares (AV), 99 autólogos (AUTO) y 49 protésicos (PROTE). Diez AV fallaron inicialmente, 8 AUTO (8,1 por ciento) y 2 PROTE (4,1 por ciento). A los 4 años la permeabilidad primaria global fue de 44,5 por ciento, 54 por ciento para AUTO y 19,4 por ciento para PROTE y la permeabilidad asistida global fue de 62,8 por ciento, 68,1 por ciento para AUTO y 48,1 para PROTE. Se revisaron 62 AV, 30 AUOT y 32 PROTE entre 1 y cuatro veces. La permeabilidad de la primera revisión al año fue de 61 por ciento y la de la segunda 62 por ciento, siendo mayor cuando se hizo antes de la oclusión (85 vs 42 por ciento para la primera y 66 vs 50 por ciento para la segunda). Conclusiones: el protocolo elegido proporcionó muy buenos resultados. Los AV autólogos tuvieron mayor permeabilidad. Las revisiones fueron muy efectivas para mantener permeables los AV que se complicaron

ABSTRACT

La vía intraosea (IO) consiste en la utilización del canal medular del hueso como acceso al sistema vascular. El resurgimiento de esta técnica de acceso vascular en los años 80, como alternativa en los casos en que el acceso vascular periférico o central no es logrado en situaciones de emergencia en niños, ha motivado la realización de esta revisión, en la cual se trata de dar a conocer todo lo referente a esta técnica para su conocimiento y utilización por el personal médico y paramédico, con la finalidad de que se optimice la atención en las salas de urgencias de nuestros hospitales
