ABSTRACT

Introducción. Durante la internación, los pacientes pueden presentar un deterioro clínico significativo y requerir el ingreso no programado a la unidad de cuidados intensivos pediátricos (UCIP). Esto puede conllevar un aumento de la morbilidad y la mortalidad. Frecuentemente, estos eventos están precedidos por una fase de deterioro que podría pasar desapercibida. Objetivo. Determinar la frecuencia, analizar las causas, describir las características clínicas y los resultados de los traslados no programados en pacientes pediátricos hospitalizados, desde el área de internación general pediátrica (IGP) a la UCIP, y analizar las diferencias entre traslados urgentes y emergentes. Población y métodos. Estudio descriptivo prospectivo; se analizaron todos los traslados no programados desde IGP a la UCIP ocurridos entre el 1 de enero de 2014 y el 31 de diciembre 2019. Resultados. Se constataron 212 traslados no programados (21 traslados cada 1000 ingresos). El 76 % de los pacientes trasladados presentaban una comorbilidad asociada ­la más frecuente fue la patología oncológica (36 %)­ y llevaban más de 24 horas internados en IGP. Las causas más frecuentes de traslado fueron dificultad respiratoria (43 %), sepsis (20 %) y complicaciones neurológicas/neuroquirúrgicas (20 %). La tasa de mortalidad global fue del 8,96 % (19 pacientes). Conclusiones. El análisis de los traslados no programados es un elemento esencial en la evaluación de la calidad de atención y seguridad del paciente de un área, y debe constituir un indicador integrado al tablero de control. La interpretación de los traslados no programados como un evento prevenible constituye un cambio de paradigma clave.


Introduction. During hospitalization, patients may develop significant clinical deterioration and require unplanned admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). This may result in increased morbidity and mortality. These events are often preceded by a deterioration phase that may go unnoticed. Objective. To determine the frequency, analyze the causes, and describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of unplanned transfers of hospitalized pediatric patients from the general pediatric ward (GPW) to the PICU, and analyze the differences between urgent and emergent transfers. Population and methods. Prospective, descriptive study; all unplanned transfers from the GPW to the PICU occurring between January 1st, 2014 and December 31st, 2019 were analyzed. Results. There were 212 unplanned transfers (21 transfers per 1000 admissions). An associated comorbidity was present in 76% of transferred patients ­being cancer the most frequent one (36%)­ and they had been hospitalized for more than 24 hours in the GPW. The most frequent causes of transfer were respiratory distress (43%), sepsis (20%), and neurological/neurosurgical complications (20%). The overall mortality rate was 8.96% (19 patients). Conclusions. The analysis of unplanned transfers is a critical component in the assessment of the quality of care and patient safety of an area, and should be an indicator integrated into the control panel. The interpretation of unplanned transfers as a preventable event is a key paradigm shift.

ABSTRACT

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


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


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

ABSTRACT

Abstract Infusion solutions must be stable from the production stage until the infusion stage. Some infusion fluids contain degradation products, known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs); however, it is unknown whether AGEs exist in parenteral nutrition solutions. We aimed to investigate this question and test the effect of infusion conditions on AGE formation in parenteral nutrition solution. Nine parenteral nutrition solutions were supplied by the pharmacy with which we collaborated. To simulate the infusion conditions, the solutions were held in a patient room with standard lighting and temperature for 24 hours. Samples were taken at the beginning (group A) and the end (24th hour, group B) of the infusion period. The degradation products were 3-deoxyglucosone, pentosidine, N-carboxymethyl lysine, and 4-hydroxynonenal, which we investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and Q-TOF LC/MS methods. Two of four degradation products, 4-hydroxynonenal and N-carboxymethyl lysine, were detected in all samples, and Group B had higher levels of both compounds compared to Group A, who showed that the quantities of these compounds increased in room conditions over time. The increase was significant for 4-hydroxynonenal (p=0.03), but not for N-carboxymethyl lysine (p=0.23). Moreover, we detected in the parenteral nutrition solutions a compound that could have been 4-hydroxy-2-butynal or furanone

ABSTRACT

Resumo O objetivo desta pesquisa foi compreender as formações discursivas (FD) de gênero relativas aos cuidados em saúde de mulheres internadas nas enfermarias de ginecologia/obstetrícia de um hospital. Participaram do estudo treze mulheres e os dados foram analisados a partir da análise do discurso de Michel Pêcheux. As principais FD identificadas destacaram a naturalização da forma como as mulheres devem se relacionar com o sistema de saúde por meio do que é tradicionalmente delegado a esse gênero (mãe e cuidadora), priorizando intervenções voltadas para a saúde reprodutiva, bem como a matriz hegemônica do modelo biomédico na organização desses serviços, distanciando-os dos modelos de integralidade propostos pelas políticas públicas em saúde voltadas para esse público. Considerou-se o campo da saúde enquanto espaço discursivo de (re)produção de estereótipos e desigualdades de gênero, alicerçado em formações ideológicas e imaginárias que são constituintes dos modos como os sujeitos transitam nesse cenário. Propõem-se a compreensão das questões de gênero como conteúdo transversal a todas as áreas e contextos de saúde, partindo da perspectiva de que um melhor entendimento do universo feminino em relação à saúde, alicerçado pelas questões de gênero, pode favorecer a oferta de programas e serviços condizentes com as reais demandas e necessidades dessa população.(AU)


Abstract This study aimed to understand the Discursive Formations about gender related to health care of women hospitalized in gynecology and obstetrics wards in a hospital. Thirteen women participated in this study and their interviews were analyzed in the light of Michel Pêcheux discourse analysis. The main Discursive Formations identified showed the naturalization of the way women should relate to the health system based on what is traditionally delegated to this gender (mother and caregiver), prioritizing reproductive health interventions, and the hegemonic matrix of the biomedical model in the organization of these services, pushing them away from the models of integrality proposed in public health policies. The health system was considered a discursive space for (re)production of gender stereotypes and inequalities based on Ideological and Imaginary Formations that are constituents of the ways in which these subjects relate in this scenario. It is proposed to understand gender issues as a crosscutting content in all health areas and contexts, starting from the perspective that a better understanding of the female universe regarding health care, based on gender issues, can improve the offer of programs and services more consistent with the real demands and needs of this population.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Conocer el rol del medio ambiente es fundamental para evitar las infecciones intra-hospitalarias. Con ese objetivo, se planteó evaluar la prevalencia de contaminación ambiental por microorganismos multirresistentes (MMR) antes y después de la limpieza terminal de habitaciones de pacientes colonizados y establecer si la aparatología de uso común actuaba como reservorio de estos en la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UTI). Se obtuvieron muestras ambientales de las habitaciones, 48 h posteriores a la detección de colonización y luego de las limpiezas. Los resultados mostraron que luego de ambos procedimientos de limpieza se logró reducir de 28,2% a 2,6% la contaminación por Acinetobacter spp. multirresistente (AMR). También, se tomaron muestras de aparatología de uso común encontrándose entre 1,8 y 5,4% de contaminación por MMR. La limpieza y desinfección reducen significativamente la contaminación ambiental. Sin embargo, la colonización de equipos por MMR y el incumplimiento de precauciones universales representan una posibilidad de transmisión cruzada.


It is essential to understand the role of the environment in order to avoid intrahospital infections. To achieve this objective, this research proposes to assess the prevalence of the environmental contamination caused by multi-resistant microorganisms (MRM) before and after terminal disinfection in rooms with colonized patients, but also to establish whether the commonly used device acts as a reservoir of those micro-organisms in an intensive care unit (ICU). Environmental samples were obtained from the rooms, 48 hours after detecting colonization and also after the first and second final cleaning. The results showed that after both procedures, there was a reduction from 28.2% to 2.6% of contamination caused by multi-resistant Acinetobacter spp. (AMR). Samples from appliances and supplies were taken as well, in which case, between 1.8 and 5.4% of contamination levels induced by MMR were found. Cleaning and disinfecting significantly reduce environmental contamination. However, both MMR bacterial colonization and the lack of universal precautions enforcement represent a possibility of cross-transmission.

Os resultados mostraram que depois dos dois procedimentos de limpeza se obteve uma redução de 28,2% para 2,6% da contaminação por Acinetobacter spp. multirresistente (AMR). Foram obtidas também amostras de aparelhos de uso comum onde se encontraram entre 1,8% e 5,4% de contaminação por MMR. A limpeza e a desinfecção reduzem significativamente a contaminação ambiental. Contudo, a colonização de equipamentos por MMR e o não cumprimento de providências universais representam uma possibilidade de transmissão cruzada.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a perspectiva dos trabalhadores de Enfermaria de Saúde Mental em Hospital Geral (ESMHG) e dos CAPS acerca do cuidado compartilhado a usuários internados em ESMHG. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de quarta geração com abordagem hermenêutica cujos dados foram construídos a partir de grupos focais gravados em áudio e transformados em narrativas. São discutidos critérios de internação, função da regulação de vagas, funcionamento da rede e tempo da internação. Conclui-se que a heterogeneidade dos modos dos serviços acolherem pessoas em quadros agudos, por um lado, expressa a pluralidade potente das formas de produzir cuidado e, por outro, evidenciam contradições marcadas pelo distanciamento entre os serviços e pela ausência de critérios compartilhados. Assim, explicitam-se situações de fragmentação prática e a necessidade de fortalecimento dos espaços de interlocução em rede.(AU)


This study aims at analyzing the perspective of workers of Mental Health Nursing in General Hospital (ESMHG) and Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS) regarding shared care provided to users hospitalized in the ESMHG. It is a fourth-generation qualitative research with hermeneutic approach. The data were collected from focus groups, which were recorded and transformed into narratives. The following are discussed: hospitalization criteria, objective of vacancy regulation, networking, and hospitalization time. The heterogeneous services provided to people with acute status show, on the one hand, the powerful plurality of the ways of providing care. On the other hand, they show contradictions marked by the estrangement among services and by the lack of common criteria. Therefore, there are practical fragmentation situations and the need for strengthening network interlocution spaces.(AU)

Se trata de una investigación cualitativa de cuarta generación con abordaje hermenéutico cuyos datos se construyeron a partir de grupos focales audiograbados y transformados en narrativas. Se discuten criterios de hospitalización, función de la regulación de plazas; funcionamiento de la red y tiempo de hospitalización. Se concluyó que la heterogeneidad de los modos en que los servicios acogen a las personas con cuadros agudos expresa, por un lado, la pluralidad potente de las formas de producir cuidado y, por el otro, ponen en evidencia contradicciones señaladas por el distanciamiento entre los servicios y por la ausencia de criterios compartidos. Siendo así, quedan explícitas situaciones de fragmentación práctica y la necesidad de fortalecimiento de los espacios de interlocución en red.(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the characteristics of the work organization performed by nursing staff regarding medication administration procedures and their implications on the workload of these professionals and on patient safety. Method: the study design is exploratory, with mixed method research and an ecological restorative approach. Data were collected between January 2014 and March 2015, in three inpatient units of a teaching hospital in the south of Brazil, by means of photo walkabout and focus groups, in the qualitative step. In the quantitative phase data were collected from the 162 lists of patients assigned to nursing technicians during their work shifts. Results: the administration of medications has an impact on the professionals' workload and patient safety. Final considerations: there are weaknesses in the process that may contribute to medication administration errors, which are related to the number of doses and the number of patients assigned to each professional.


RESUMO Objetivo: analisar as características da organização do trabalho da equipe de enfermagem quanto aos procedimentos de administração de medicamentos e suas implicações na carga de trabalho desses profissionais e na segurança do paciente. Método: estudo exploratório, com método misto de pesquisa e abordagem restaurativa ecológica. Os dados foram coletados entre janeiro de 2014 e março de 2015, em três unidades de internação de um hospital universitário do sul do Brasil, por meio de caminhada fotográfica (CF) e grupos focais (GF) na etapa qualitativa. Na fase quantitativa, foram coletados dados das 162 listas de pacientes atribuídos aos técnicos de enfermagem durante seus turnos de trabalho. Resultados: a administração de medicamentos impacta na carga de trabalho dos profissionais e na segurança dos pacientes. Considerações finais: as fragilidades existentes no processo podem contribuir para erros na administração de medicamentos, que estão relacionados com o número de doses e ao número de pacientes atribuídos a cada profissional.

Método: investigación exploratoria con método mixto y enfoque ecológico y restaurativo. Los datos fueron recolectados entre enero de 2014 y marzo de 2015 en tres unidades de internación de un hospital universitario del sur de Brasil, por medio de caminada fotográfica (CF) y grupos focales (GF) en la etapa cualitativa. En la fase cuantitativa, se recogieron datos de las 162 listas de pacientes asignados a los técnicos de enfermería durante sus turnos de trabajo. Resultados: la administración de medicamentos tiene un impacto en la carga de trabajo de los profesionales y en la seguridad del paciente. Consideraciones finales: hay debilidades en el proceso que pueden contribuir a los errores de administración de medicamentos, que están relacionados con el número de dosis y el número de pacientes asignados a cada profesional.

ABSTRACT

A hospitalist system was introduced in Korea in September in 2016 to improve the quality of in-patient care and to cope with the shortage of medical residents. This study aimed to outline the current situation of internal medicine hospitalist and to suggest a development strategy. By May 2019, the number of hospitalists in Korea had increased to 124. Patient safety issues, resident law, and the shortage of medical residents has led to an increase in the demand for hospitalists in Korea. Internal medicine hospitalist care in Korea has been associated with patient satisfaction, length of stay, and waiting time in emergency departments. There are three different hospitalist ward models in the Korean health care system, and each hospital needs the model that fits its specific situation. In the general ward model, the role of the hospitalist is similar to that of the chief residents because the wards are categorized into nine subspecialty areas, such as internal medicine (including gastroenterology, pulmonology, and cardiology). In the short-term admission ward model, patients are usually turned around within 72 hours; therefore, the hospitalist is able to care for patients independently. After that, patients are discharged or admitted to a specialty ward. In integrated care model, patients from all specialty areas are admitted to the same ward; therefore, hospitalists care for patients independently. In this model, consultation with specialists is required. There were strengths and weaknesses in each model. Therefore, the models should be considered based on the hospital's function. This study found some problems in the present hospitalist system, including undefined roles and responsibilities, unclear future employment prospects, burnout due to patient' severity of illness, and inadequate payment systems for weekend and night work. To further develop the hospitalists system in Korea, the Korean government, the Korean associated of internal medicine, hospitals, and hospitalists must work together to solve the present problems.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Noise levels and room acoustic parameters at a tertiary referral hospital, Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) in Korea, are investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Through a questionnaire, acoustically problematic rooms are identified. Noise levels in emergency rooms (ERs) and intensive care units (ICUs) are measured over about three days. Acoustically critical and problematic rooms in the otolaryngology department are measured including examination rooms, operating rooms, nurse stations, receptions, and patient rooms. RESULTS: The A-weighted equivalent noise level, L(Aeq), ranges from 54 to 56 dBA, which is at least 10 dB lower than the noise levels of 65 to 73 dBA measured in American ERs. In an ICU, the noise level for the first night was 66 dBA, which came down to 56 dBA for the next day. The noise levels during three different ear surgeries vary from 57 to 62 dBA, depending on the use of surgical drills and suctions. The noise levels in a patient room is found to be 47 dBA, while the nurse stations and the receptions have high noise levels up to 64 dBA. The reverberation times in an operation room, examination room, and single patient room are found to be below 0.6 s. CONCLUSIONS: At SNUH, the nurse stations and receptions were found to be quite noisy. The ERs were quieter than in the previous studies. The measured reverberation times seemed low enough but some other nurse stations and examination rooms were not satisfactory according to the questionnaire.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Although there is growing interest in hospice-palliative care, little information is available on the effects of such care in South Korea. Addressing this research gap, i.e., determining the cost-effectiveness of hospice-palliative care in South Korea, will help guide policy. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness analysis of hospice-palliative care in adults diagnosed with terminal cancer. METHODS: We used a Markov model to construct a decision tree, for an analysis comparing the general ward with the hospice-palliative ward in terms of patient quality of life and cost-effectiveness. Cost and quality of life were estimated based on published Korean studies. Cost-effectiveness was calculated as the incremental cost relative to the incremental effect. Additionally, a one-way sensitivity analysis was performed to test the robustness of the results. RESULTS: Hospice-palliative ward care was more cost-effective than general ward care. The incremental cost was 290,401 Korean won (KRW) and the incremental effect was −0.25. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was −1,174,045 KRW. A similar pattern of results was obtained in the sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that hospice-palliative ward care is more cost-effective than general ward care.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify status and characteristics of patients who have been readmitted to ICU, and to analyze risk factors associated with the readmission to ICU within 48hours.METHODS: Data were collected from patient's electronic medical reports from one hospital in B city. Participants were 2,937 patients aged 18 years old or older admitted to the ICU. Data were analyzed using odd ratios (ORs) from multivariate logistic regressions.RESULTS: 2.2% of the 2,937 patients were early readmitted to ICU. Risk factors for early readmission to ICU were existence of respiratory disease, use of mechanical ventilator, and duration of hospitalization (longer).CONCLUSION: The assessment on the respiratory system of the patient who will be discharged from the ICU was identified as an important nursing activity. Therefore, the respiratory system management and education should be actively conducted. In addition, early ICU readmission may be prevented and decreased if a link was built to share the information on patient condition between the ICU and general wards.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The lack of medical personnel has led to the employment of hospitalists in Korean hospitals to provide high-quality medical care. However, whether hospitalists' care can improve patients' outcomes remains unclear. We aimed to analyze the outcome in patients cared for by hospitalists. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted in 1,015 patients diagnosed with pneumonia or urinary tract infection from March 2017 to July 2018. After excluding 306 patients, 709 in the general ward who were admitted via the emergency department were enrolled, including 169 and 540 who were cared for by hospitalists (HGs) and non-hospitalists (NHGs), respectively. We compared the length of hospital stay (LOS), in-hospital mortality, readmission rate, comorbidity, and disease severity between the two groups. Comorbidities were analyzed using Charlson comorbidity index (CCI). RESULTS: HG LOS (median, interquartile range [IQR], 8 [5–12] days) was lower than NHG LOS (median [IQR], 10 [7–15] days), (P < 0.001). Of the 30 (4.2%) patients who died during their hospital stay, a lower percentage of HG patients (2.4%) than that of NHG patients (4.8%) died, but the difference between the two groups was not significant (P = 0.170). In a subgroup analysis, HG LOS was shorter than NHG LOS (median [IQR], 8 [5–12] vs. 10 [7–16] days, respectively, P < 0.001) with CCI of ≥ 5 points. CONCLUSION: Hospitalist care can improve the LOS of patients, especially those with multiple comorbidities. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the impact of hospitalist care in Korea.
