ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe and evaluate the pharmacotherapeutic follow-up by a clinical pharmacist in an intensive care unit. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study carried out from August to October 2016. The data were collected through a form, and pharmacotherapeutic follow-up conducted by a clinical pharmacist at the respiratory intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital. The problems recorded in the prescriptions were quantified, classified and evaluated according to severity; the recommendations made by the pharmacist were analyzed considering the impact on pharmacotherapy. The medications involved in the problems were classified according to the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System. Results: Forty-six patients were followed up and 192 pharmacotherapy-related problems were registered. The most prevalent problems were missing information on the prescription (33.16%), and those with minor severity (37.5%). Of the recommendations made to optimize pharmacotherapy, 92.7% were accepted, particularly those on inclusion of infusion time (16.67%), and dose appropriateness (13.02%), with greater impact on toxicity (53.6%). Antimicrobials, in general, for systemic use were drug class most often related to problems in pharmacotherapy (53%). Conclusion: Pharmacotherapeutic follow-up conducted by a pharmacist in a respiratory intensive care unit was able to detect problems in drug therapy and to make clinically relevant recommendations.


RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever e avaliar o acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico do farmacêutico clínico em uma unidade de terapia intensiva. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, com desenho transversal, realizado no período de agosto a outubro de 2016. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um formulário de registro, com acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico realizado pelo farmacêutico clínico na unidade de terapia intensiva respiratória de um hospital terciário. Os problemas registrados nas prescrições foram quantificados e classificados, sendo avaliados quanto à gravidade; as recomendações realizadas pelo farmacêutico clínico foram analisadas em relação ao impacto na farmacoterapia. Os medicamentos envolvidos nos problemas foram categorizados utilizando o Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System. Resultados: Foram acompanhados 46 pacientes, tendo sido registrados 192 problemas relacionados à farmacoterapia. Os problemas prevalentes foram informação ausente na prescrição (33,16%) e com gravidade menor (37,5%). Das recomendações realizadas para a otimização da farmacoterapia, 92,7% foram aceitas, sendo prevalentes aquelas referentes a inclusão do tempo de infusão (16,67%) e a adequação da dose (13,02%), com maior impacto na toxicidade (53,6%). Os anti-infecciosos gerais para uso sistêmico constituíram classe de medicamentos mais frequente nos problemas relacionados à farmacoterapia (53%). Conclusão: O acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico realizado pelo farmacêutico em uma unidade de terapia intensiva respiratória mostrou-se capaz de detectar problemas na farmacoterapia dos pacientes e realizar recomendações clinicamente relevantes.

ABSTRACT

Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e de abordagem qualitativa, que teve como objetivo verificar o conhecimento dos familiares de pacientes internados na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva do Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas com relação à atuação da Fisioterapia intensiva neste serviço, bem como identificar suas necessidades. Foram entrevistados 60 familiares, sendo estes questionados a respeito do serviço de Fisioterapia e submetidos ao Inventário de Necessidades e Estressores de Familiares em Terapia Intensiva. Foi observado que a maioria deles desconhecia a atuação da Fisioterapia em tal Unidade, porém os que conheciam atribuíram nota máxima ao serviço. Em relação às necessidades dos familiares, notou-se que 56,7% julgaram necessário saber fatos concretos a respeito do progresso de seu familiar; 60% gostariam de ter a certeza que seu familiar está recebendo o melhor tratamento e 71,7% gostariam de ter dias e horários de visitas mais flexíveis. Constatou-se a falta de informações dos entrevistados em relação à atuação da Fisioterapia na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva. Foram identificadas as necessidades dos familiares, sendo possível, com isto, executar ações de melhoria. Por meio do presente estudo, a Unidade de Terapia Intensiva do Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas identificou as principais necessidades dos familiares, adequou o espaço físico, implementou salas de acolhimento familiar e o curso de especialização em Fisioterapia Respiratória em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Adulto, e criou informativos visuais quanto à sua atuação para melhores acolhimento e compreensão dos familiares.


This is a descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, that aimed at verifying the knowledge of relatives of patients hospitalized at the Intensive Care Unit of Hospital de Clínicas at Campinas State University about the performance of the intensive physical therapy, as well as at identifying their needs. We interviewed 60 relatives, questioning them about the Physical Therapy service. The Critical Family Need Inventory was also applied. We observed that most relatives were unaware of the physical therapy team performance at the Intensive Care Unit; however, those who knew about it attributed the highest score to the service. Regarding the relatives' needs, we observed that 56.7% judged necessary to know the facts about the patients' progress; 60% would like to be sure that the patient is receiving the best treatment, and 71.7% would like more flexibility in days and time of visits. It was possible to observe lack of information regarding the action of physical therapy at the Intensive Care Unit and to identify the relatives' needs, allowing improvement actions. The Intensive Care Unit of Hospital de Clínicas at Campinas State University has adapted the physical space and implemented rooms for family reception, with the help of family support and humanization groups. Along with these actions, it was implemented a specialization course in Respiratory Physical Therapy at the Adults Intensive Care Unit and visual aids regarding its importance and actions to a better reception and understanding of the family were distributed.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: durante la estrategia Plan de Invierno 2008 del Hospital Pediátrico del Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell se implementó una Unidad de Vigilancia Respiratoria (UVR) para brindar una atención más individualizada al niño con infección respiratoria aguda baja (IRAB) grave.Objetivo: evaluar los resultados de la implementación de la UVR. Material y método: la unidad funcionó del 17 de junio al 31 de agosto de 2009; contó con 6 camas y personal médico, enfermería y fisioterapeutas durante las 24 horas. Los criterios de ingreso fueron: edad < 2 años, insuficiencia respiratoria y escore de Tal > 9. Los criterios de exclusión: hemodinamia inestable, alteración de la conciencia, complicaciones mecánicas, acidosis respiratoria o mixta. Todos los pacientes recibieron el mismo tratamiento de soporte. Se analiza el número de ingresos, sus características clínicas y evolutivas. Resultados: ingresaron 147 niños, 5,4% del total de admisiones hospitalarias por IRAB. El 62% fueron £ 6 meses, edad promedio 5,9 meses. Se diagnosticó bronquiolitis en 71%, presentaron escore de Tal ³ 6 el 63,9%. La estadía promedio fue 4 días; en 37% £ 24 horas. Presentaron evolución favorable 69,4%, y se trasladaron a CTI 30,6% (n45), de los cuales 27 requirieron soporte ventilatorio y uno falleció.Conclusiones: la atención .individualizada de soporte del niño con IRAB resulta fundamental. Es necesario jerarquizar la edad como factor de riesgo y la monitorización clínica a través de escores que evalúan el trabajo respiratorio. Si bien no se puede afirmar que la UVR contribuyó a disminuir los ingresos a CTI, la experiencia resultó beneficiosa y fortaleció la estrategia de atención del niño con IRAB grave.


Introduction: a Respiratory Surveillance Unit (RSU) was implemented together with the 2008 Winter Plan of the Pediatric Hospital of the Pereira Rossell Hospital Centre to provide more personalized care to children with severe Acute Low Respiratory Infection (ALRI). Objective: evaluate the outcomes of the implementation of the RSU. Methodology: the unit worked from 17-6 to 31-10-08 and counted with 6 beds and medical and nursing staff and physical therapists around the clock. Admission criteria were: age < 2 years, respiratory failure, Tal score > 9. Exclusion criteria: unstable hemodynamics, consciousness disorders, mechanical complications, respiratory or mixed acidosis. All patients received the same support treatment. The number of admissions, their characteristics and course were all analyzed. Results: a total 147 children were admitted, 5.4% of the total hospital admissions due to ALRI. A 62% were < of 6 months, average age 5.9 months. Bronchiolitis was diagnosed in 71% and 63.9% presented the Tal 6 score. The average duration of stay was 4 days and 24 hours in 37%. A 69.4% presented a favorable course; 30.6% (n=45) were sent to the ICU, 27 of whom required ventilatory support, and one died. Conclusions: individualized support care is essential in children with ALRI. It is necessary to to prioritize age as a risk factor, and clinical monitoring by means of scores evaluating respiratory work. Although it is not possible to state that the RSU contributed to reduce admissions to the ICU, the experience was beneficial and strengthened the care strategy for children with severe ALRI.

ABSTRACT

Se describe el caso clínico de un paciente con quistes pulmonares, cuya enfermedad fue diagnosticada con acierto a los 13 años de edad en el Hospital Infantil Sur Docente de Santiago de Cuba, pues su rareza en la infancia tiende a que sea confundida con otras afecciones. Ha sido tratado con vitaminas y terapia respiratoria, aunque los cirujanos recomiendan la exéresis de los tumores, no ejecutada por desacuerdo del adolescente y sus familiares. Generalmente se mantiene asintomático, pero sigue siendo atendido por pediatras de esta institución.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCION: La oximetría de pulso es una herramienta en el monitoreo no invasivo de la función cardiorrespiratoria que mide el oxígeno transportado por la oxihemoglobina en el plasma sanguíneo. Su uso es rutinario y generalizado por parte de médicos generales y especialistas, terapeutas respiratorios, enfermeras y personal en proceso formativo de las especialidades anteriormente mencionadas, quienes son responsables de la consistencia de su realización e interpretación exacta de resultados como parte de la evaluación y tratamiento de pacientes con afección respiratoria. OBJETIVO: Analizar los conocimientos del personal profesional de salud: médicos, terapeutas respiratorias, enfermeras, internos, estudiantes de terapia respiratoria del Hospital San Rafael de Tunja – Boyacá, tenían con respecto a la oximetría del pulso. MATERIALES Y METODOS: Se evaluaron 115 profesionales del área de la salud del Hospital San Rafael de Tunja: 7 médicos, 24 terapeutas respiratorias, 11 enfermeras, 21 internos y 52 estudiantes de terapia respiratoria. Se les aplicó un cuestionario estructurado de 20 preguntas de selección múltiple, respuesta única, indagando en aspectos fisiológicos, técnicos e interpretativos de la oximetría de pulso. TIPO DE ESTUDIO: Descriptivo de corte transversal, sin riesgo. RESULTADOS: De los 115 profesionales evaluados, el 62.6 por ciento responden acertadamente y el 37.3 por ciento contestan erróneamente las preguntas planteadas en el cuestionario. La disciplina con mayores aciertos fue Terapia Respiratoria (79.1 por ciento) y los de mayores desaciertos se presentaron en los Internos (38.8 por ciento). A pesar de lo anterior las diferencias de desaciertos y aciertos no son muy significativas. Teniendo en cuenta cada uno de los aspectos evaluados en el examen, se encontró que los mayores aciertos se concentran en aspectos técnicos de la prueba (559 – 24.3 por ciento) y el mayor número de preguntas erradas en aspectos fisiológicos (486–21.1 por ciento).
