ABSTRACT

Resumo No contexto de crise e restrições de recursos é razoável supor o agravamento de fragilidades do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), como desigualdades regionais, subfinanciamento e problemas na qualidade do cuidado. Este estudo explorou a aplicação de indicadores de acesso e efetividade, facilmente compreensíveis e calculados, passíveis de refletir a crise na rede hospitalar. Cinco indicadores extraídos do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares, relativos ao Brasil e a estados da Região Sudeste, foram analisados no período de 2009-2018: internações resultantes em morte; internações cirúrgicas resultantes em morte; cirurgias eletivas no total das internações cirúrgicas; próteses de quadril na população de idosos; e angioplastias na população de 20 anos ou mais. Utilizaram-se gráficos de controle estatístico para a comparação dos indicadores entre estados, antes e a partir de 2014. No Brasil, as mortes hospitalares tiveram um leve crescimento enquanto que as mortes cirúrgicas uma queda; as cirurgias eletivas e próteses de quadril também diminuíram. No Sudeste, o Rio de Janeiro apresentou os piores resultados, em especial a queda de cirurgias eletivas. Os resultados ilustram o potencial dos indicadores para monitorar efeitos da crise sobre o cuidado hospitalar.


Abstract In the context of crisis and resource constraints, it is reasonable to assume the deteriorated weaknesses of the Unified Health System (SUS), such as regional inequalities, underfinancing, and care quality issues. This study explored the application of easily comprehensible and calculated access and effectiveness indicators that could reflect the hospital network crisis. Five indicators extracted from the Hospital Information System, related to Brazil and states of the Southeastern region, were analyzed in the 2009-2018 period: hospitalizations resulting in death; surgical hospitalizations resulting in death; elective surgeries in the total of surgical hospitalizations; hip prostheses in the senior population; and angioplasties in the population aged 20 years and over. Statistical control charts were used to compare indicators between states, before and from 2014. In Brazil, overall hospital deaths had a slight increase while surgical deaths declined; elective surgeries and hipprosthesis also decreased. In Southeastern Brazil, Rio de Janeiro was the worst performer, especially the decrease of the elective surgeries. The results illustrate the potential of indicators to monitor crisis effects on hospital care.

ABSTRACT

Introduction. La check-list (CL) a montré son efficacité pour réduire les complications chirurgicales dans plusieurs pays du monde où elle a été implémentée. Notre travail avait pour but d'étudier sa valeur à Ngaoundere et l'intérêt de son implémentation dans nos hôpitaux. Son objectif était d'identifier à l'aide de la CL les moyens de prévention et/ou de gestions des erreurs indésirables dans le cadre de la sécurité chirurgicale des patients. Matériels et méthodes. Nous avons mené une enquête descriptive rétrospective et prospective, en utilisant un questionnaire de type audit CL. Les paramètres évalués étaient les moyens de prévention utilisés, le type d'erreurs ou d'événement indésirable grave (EIG) observés et les raisons à l'origine de ces EIG dans un gran hôpital public de Ngaoundere et dans un grand hôpital privé de Ngaoundere. Résultats. 38 personnels ont participé à l'étude. 28,95% de ces personnels utilisaient comme moyen de prévention « la dénonciation » et 57,89% des personnels « l'archivage ». Le personnel a déclaré comme principaux EIG: les effets néfastes de l'administration des drogues, les hémorragies postopératoires, les pertes de fonction respiratoire, les infections postopératoires, et les allergies. Les principales raisons à l'origine de ces EIG étaient comme la communication défectueuse (67,47%), le manque d'outil de surveillance (25,52%) et la fatigue (12,38%). Conclusion. L'examen du type d'EIG et des raisons à l'origine de ces EIG laisse penser que la check-list opératoire, par sa facilitation de la standardisation du travail d'équipe peut améliorer la sécurité du patient chirurgical à Ngaoundere

ABSTRACT

Introducción: los errores en cirugía existen desde que el hombre mismo se atrevió a violar la integridad del cuerpo humano buscando resolver un problema de salud. La Organización de la Salud, en el 2008 lanza el programa "Cirugías Seguras", pues ha calculado que se realizan 234 millones de cirugías mayores al año y se producen alrededor de un millón de muertes relacionadas con procedimientos quirúrgicos mayores. Objetivo: determinar la seguridad en las cirugías mayores. Material y Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo y retrospectivo analizando los resultados de las cirugías mayores en el servicio de cirugía general del Hospital Militar Docente "Dr. Mario Muñoz Monroy" de Matanzas, en el periodo comprendido de enero del 2011 a diciembre del 2015. Resultados: se realizó un total de 7366 cirugías mayores, electivas 5525(75%), urgentes 1841(25%). Fueron clasificadas como A1 7264 (98,6%), se efectuaron 127 reintervenciones (1,7%), se produjeron 107 eventos adversos (1,4%) y una mortalidad operatoria de 86 pacientes (1,16%). Conclusiones: son seguras las intervenciones de cirugías mayores. Los eventos adversos se presentaron por debajo de lo reportado en la literatura médica mundial. La mortalidad operatoria está dentro de parámetros aceptados en estándares internacionales (AU).


Introduction: mistakes in surgery are committed since the moment the man had the courage of violating the integrity of the human body looking for solving a health problem. The World Health Organization started the program Cirugías seguras (Safe Surgeries in English) in 2008, because they calculated that 234 millions of major surgeries are done and around a million of deaths are related with major surgical procedures every year. Aim: to determine the safety of the major surgeries. Materials and Methods: an observational, descriptive and retrospective study was carried out analyzing the results of the major surgeries in the Teaching Military Hospital "Dr. Mario Muñoz Monroy" of Matanzas in the period from January 2011 to December 2015. Results: a total of 7 366 major surgeries were done: 5 525 elective surgeries (75 %) and 1 841 emergency surgeries (25 %). 7 264 were classified as A1 (98,6); 127 surgical re-interventions were done (1,7 %); 107 adverse events took place (1,4 %) and the surgical mortality was 86 patients (1,16 %). Conclusions: major surgical interventions are safe. The adverse events were less than data reported in the international medical literature. Surgical mortality fulfills the parameters accepted in international standards (AU).

ABSTRACT

La artrosis de rodilla puede llegar a ser una patología muy invalidante por los síntomas que produce, caracterizados por dolor, inseguridad y pérdida funcional. Es una patología degenerativa cuya prevalencia ha ido en aumento en las últimas décadas. Está muy ligada al aumento de las expectativas de vida de la población, fenómeno que ocurre en países del primer mundo con un alto nivel de salud y que ocurre igualmente en nuestro país dado el desarrollo de nuestro sistema de salud. Existen múltiples técnicas quirúrgicas para corregir la deformidad y aliviar el dolor; van desde osteotomías correctoras hasta las artroplastias, todas encaminadas al alivio del dolor en primer lugar y a corregir las deformidades, pero las últimas conllevan mayor tiempo de rehabilitación y son más costosas. Este trabajo va encaminado a la presentación de dos pacientes operados con la nueva técnica del Dr. Ying Ze Zhang, del Departamento de Cirugía Ortopédica del Tercer Hospital de la Universidad Médica de Hebei en Shijiazhuang, China, con la cual, a través de una osteotomía, se descomprime el compartimento interno y se quita tensión ósea en el externo por la resección peronea. Sus objetivos son actuar sobre el dolor, mejorar la función y la marcha como beneficios de este proceder de mínima acción sobre las partes articulares y lograr la rápida incorporación del paciente a su vida social; esto es tema para la obtención del doctorado por parte del autor principal del presente trabajo (AU).


Knee osteoarthritis could be a very disabling disease due to the symptoms it produces, characterized by pain, insecurity and functional loss. It is a degenerative disease which prevalence has increased in the last decades tightly related to the increment of the population's life expectancy, phenomenon occurring in the developed countries with a high life level and also occurring in our country because of the development of our health system. There are several surgical techniques to correct deformation and to relieve pain. They go through correcting osteotomies to arthroplasties, all of them aimed, firstly to pain relieving and also to correcting deformations. The last ones need more rehabilitation time and are more expensive. This work is devoted to presenting two patients operated with the new technique of Dr. Yin-Ze Zhang, from the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of the Third Hospital of the Medical University of Hebei, in Shijiazhuang, China, with which, through an osteotomy, the internal compartment is decompressed and the bone tension in the external one is finished due to the peroneal excision. Its aims are acting upon the pain, improving function and gait as a benefit of this minimal action procedure on the articular parts and achieving the faster incorporation of the patient to his social life; this is the theme the main author of this article is going to develop for obtaining the doctorate in sciences (AU).

ABSTRACT

A cirurgia endoscópica por orifícios naturais (NOTES) é um novo conceito de abordagem videocirúrgica, que surge como alternativa à cirurgia convencional, eliminando incisões abdominais e as possíveis complicações relacionadas a ela. A proposta deste artigo foi comparar técnicas de ovariossalpingo-histerectomia (OSH) em cadelas, buscando determinar o procedimento que oferece menores alterações hemodinâmicas e menos estímulos dolorosos trans e pós-operatório. Para tanto, foram utilizadas 21 cadelas alocadas em três grupos. No primeiro, os pacientes foram submetidos à OSH por celiotomia (GC), no segundo por meio da técnica de NOTES híbrida (GNH) e no terceiro (GNT), utilizando-se a técnica de NOTES total. O tempo cirúrgico do GNH foi significativamente maior que nos demais grupos. Em ambos os grupos de cirurgia NOTES, verificou-se diminuição das pressões arteriais médias e diastólicas no transoperatório. Apenas o grupo GNH desenvolveu acidose severa no transoperatório. Levando-se em consideração as avaliações da dor, apenas o grupo convencional necessitou de analgesia resgate transcirúrgica. No pós-operatório, observou-se que os cães do GC apresentaram índices mais elevados na escala visual analógica e na escala de Melbourne que os animais dos demais grupos, sendo necessária analgesia resgate em 100% deles. Em contraste, no GNT nenhum dos cães requereram complementação analgésica pós-operatória. Conclui-se que a técnica de OSH por NOTES total apresenta parâmetros cardiorrespiratórios e hemogasométricos semelhantes à técnica convencional e mais estáveis que a técnica de NOTES híbrida, bem como resulta em menor dor trans e pós-operatória que a técnica convencional...


The aim of the present study was to perform bacteriological and molecular methods for identification of Mycobacterium bovis in lesions derived from bovine carcasses detected during routine post-mortem examination in officially inspected slaughterhouses. We checked the slaughter and inspection of 825,394 bovines, health upon ante-mortem examination, by the official service in 10 slaughterhouses of Bahia state from April, 2009 to April 2012. Lesions suggestive of tuberculosis were collected from 180 bovines and further evaluated by bacteriology and multiplex PCR. The majority of lesions were located in the respiratory tract lymph nodes and 71% were from male bovines up to 32 months old. 13.9% of samples presented small, granular and creamy-yellowish colonies after being cultured in Stonebrink-Leslie with an average growth time of 34 days. All smears from the isolated samples were Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB) and among them 56% were identified by mPCR as M. bovis. Thus, the association between post-mortem examination, culture and multiplex PCR allowed the bacillus identification in a reduced time and in regions of low prevalence, pointing out its importance for bovine tuberculosis detection and as a supportive tool for the tuberculosis control and eradication program...

ABSTRACT

Desde que las Guerras Mundiales que se escenificaron en el siglo XX, en los teatros operacionales del conflicto en Europa, Norte de Africa, medio oriente, Asia, I y II Guerras Mundiales, Corea, Viet Nam, Afganistán Guerra Arabe- Israelí obligó a los países involucrados a atender a los millones de víctimas resultantes, planificando, organizando y rediseñando a pasos acelerados las estructuras de asistencia médica, capaces de suministrar recursos de atención masivo del trauma y estrategias para tratar a sus soldados y a la población civil. La consecuencia positiva para el avance de la medicina y especialmente de la cirugía de estos tragicos sucesos, fue la aparición y el desarrollo de la "cirugía compleja" y la conquista del abordaje quirúrgico de regiones del cuerpo humano, hasta ese momento vedados a la actividad del tratamiento quirúrgico: cavidad craneal, cirugía torácica, trauma cardiovascular, cirugía intestinal de urgencia, anestesia y manejo respiratorio, antibióticos, derivados sanguíneos, resucitación cardio-respiratoria y evacuación y trasporte de heridos. Varias décadas después el desarrollo de esta cirugía compleja, produjo un aumento desmesurado de la morbi-mortalidad ocasionado principalmente por los efectos de la anestesia inadecuada, hemorragias masivas, infección-sepsis y factores de error humano. Surgen entonces nuevas líneas de investigación clínica para identificar y disminuir estos factores. Esos esfuerzos logran al final del siglo XX y comienzos del XXI, resultados tangibles y eficaces mejorando los resultados finales de la cirugía. Por estos logros surge un nuevo paradigma en el mundo de la cirugía, conocido como "el ambiente quirúrgico seguro"; que comprende estrategias operativas y organizacionales, tales como: reingeniería de quirófanos, innovaciones tecnológicas, digitalización de aparatos de registro y la protección integral de los equipos humanos interactuantes en los servicios quirúrgicos. En este ensayo se describen...


Since the occurrence of the World Wars in the 20th. Century, at the military operational theatres in Europe, North Africa, Meddle East, Korea, Viet nam, Afghanistan and Israel the countries involved in these conflicts were forced to render medical care to the million of casualities in thousands of battlefields, specially organizing massive trauma care to military personnel also to civilian populations. The positive result of this tragic scenarios was that medicine as a whole and surgery, was the development of the so called "complex surgical care", and the conquest of the surgical approach of different regions of the human body, until then impossible to reach with therapeutic efficacy: intracranial structures, thoracic surgery, cardio-vascular injuries, acute intestinal trauma anesthesia and respiratory ventilation, antibiotics, blood replacement, cardio pulmonary resuscitation; and triage and the planning of transport of wounded soldiers. Some decades later, the development of the complex surgery reachers alarming levels of morbidity and mortality, mainly due to inadequate delivered anasthesia, massive hemorrhage, uncontrolled bacterial infections-sepsis and lethal consequences of human errors. New lines of clinical investigations and research conducted in the late XX century and early XXI century gave the answers to obtain strategies to diminish and fight this adverse factors; improving better outcomes for surgical therapies. This achievement gave birth to a new paradigm into the surgical world which is identified nowadays as the "safe surgical environment", compromising new strategies to redesing surgical operating rooms, application of technological discoveries, digitalization of patient's surveillance and bio protection of the surgical personnel avoiding events as accidents, thermal injuries, and infections with transmissible diseases in this scenario. In this paper will be described fundamental definitions of novel paradigm, reviewing concepts...

ABSTRACT

In less than twenty years, what began as a concept for the treatment of exsanguinating truncal trauma patients has become the primary treatment model for numerous emergent, life threatening surgical conditions incapable of tolerating traditional methods. Its core concepts are relative straightforward and simple in nature: first, proper identification of the patient who is in need of following this paradigm; second, truncation of the initial surgical procedure to the minimal necessary operation; third, aggressive, focused resuscitation in the intensive care unit; fourth, definitive care only once the patient is optimized to tolerate the procedure. These simple underlying principles can be molded to a variety of emergencies, from its original application in combined major vascular and visceral trauma to the septic abdomen and orthopedics. A host of new resuscitation strategies and technologies have been developed over the past two decades, from permissive hypotension and damage control resuscitation to advanced ventilators and hemostatic agents, which have allowed for a more focused resuscitation, allowing some of the morbidity of this model to be reduced. The combination of the simple, malleable paradigm along with better understanding of resuscitation has proven to be a potent blend. As such, what was once an almost lethal injury (combined vascular and visceral injury) has become a survivable one.


Em menos de vinte anos, o que começou como um conceito para o tratamento de pacientes com trauma grave do tronco e acentuada perda sanguínea tornou-se o modelo de tratamento primário para numerosos pacientes da emergência, com lesões que ameaçam à vida, incapazes de tolerar os tradicionais métodos cirúrgicos. Seus principais conceitos são de natureza simples: em primeiro lugar, adequada identificação do paciente que necessita deste modelo de tratamento; segundo, substituição do procedimento cirúrgico convencional para a operação mínima necessária; terceira, agressiva reanimação na unidade de cuidados intensivos; em quarto lugar, tratamento definitivo apenas quando o paciente estiver apto à suportá-lo. Estes princípios fundamentais podem ser empregados para uma variedade de situações de emergência, de sua aplicação original na associação de injúrias viscerais e vasculares complexas à sepse de origem abdominal e ao trauma ortopédico. Uma série de novas estratégias de reanimação e tecnologias têm sido desenvolvidas ao longo das duas últimas décadas, da hipotensão permissiva e controle de dano da reanimação à modernos ventiladores e agentes hemostáticos, que permitiram uma reanimação adequada a este modelo, com redução da morbidade. A combinação deste simples conceito com à melhor compreensão da reanimação, tem provado ser uma potente associação. Como tal, o que era considerado uma lesão quase fatal (lesão vascular e visceral combinadas) tem possibilitado a sobrevida de doentes.

ABSTRACT

RACIONAL: As incisões mais comuns para parotidectomia consistem em abertura pré ou periauricular prolongadas para a região submandibular ou cervical. Elas podem acompanhar-se de cicatrizes imperfeitas, provocando deformidades cutâneas locais. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o tratamento de afecções cirúrgicas parotídeas através de incisão periauricular apenas. MÉTODO: Foram estudados 39 pacientes consecutivos com moléstias da parótida. Adenoma pleomórfico (20 casos) foi a afecção mais encontrada, seguida por outros tumores benignos (9 casos), carcinomas (5 casos), cisto parotídeo (3 casos) e parotidite crônica (2 casos). Todas as parotidectomias foram realizadas através de incisão periauricular. Em presença de carcinoma, a linfadenectomia cervical foi conduzida por meio de incisão cervical transversa supra-hióidea homolateral. RESULTADO: A remoção da afecção parotídea foi possível em todos os casos sem incisão cutânea complementar. Todas as cicatrizes tiveram bom resultado estético e, após seis meses, elas estavam quase imperceptíveis. Os pacientes revelaram satisfação com o resultado da operação. Fraqueza facial temporária ocorreu em 28 operações. Desconforto auricular transitório foi registrado em 22 pacientes. Todos tiveram hipoestesia da região operada, que perdurou por até seis meses. As complicações encontradas neste trabalho estão descritas na literatura como esperadas em parotidectomia, independentemente do tipo de incisão. CONCLUSÃO: A incisão periauricular é opção boa e estética para abordagem cirúrgica da glândula parótida.


BACKGROUND: The most common incisions for parotidectomy consist of opening or pre periauricular extended to the submandibular or cervical region. They can accompany themselves ragged scars, causing local skin deformities. AIM: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the treatment of parotid surgical diseases using periauricular incision. METHOD: Thirty nine patients with parotid tumors were reviewed. Pleomorphic adenoma (20 cases) was the most common disease followed by other benign tumors (9 cases), carcinoma (5 cases), parotid cyst (3 cases) and chronic parotiditis (2 cases). All parotidectomies were performed through a periauricular incision. RESULTS: The parotid tumors were removed in all cases without complementary skin approach. The incisions had good aesthetic result and almost imperceptible scars were verified after six months. The patients were very satisfied with the appearance of the operative scar. All patients complained hypostesia of the operative area during a period not longer than six months. Temporary postoperative facial weakness occurred after 28 operations and was permanent in three of patients operated on for carcinoma. Transitory ear discomfort occurred in 22 patients. Two cases of local infection were recorded. All of these complications have been described previously by other authors using other incisions and are mostly due to removal of the gland. CONCLUSION: Periauricular incision is a good and highly aesthetic option for surgical approach of the parotid.

ABSTRACT

Crohn's disease can neither be cured by surgery nor by medical therapy. Surgical therapy of recurrent Crohn's disease requires special precautions. The recurrence rate is 60% after 15 years. There are no certain data of the risk factors influencing the recurrence rate. The only clear facts are that wide resection out of the resection margins and smoking negatively influence recurrence. Hence, the major principles of therapy is a minimally-resected surgery. This mainly concerns strictures and stenosis. Strictures should be treated by stricturoplasty and stenosis by limited resection with Crohn-free resection margins. Just in case of interenteric and enterocutanous with a concomitant short bowel syndrome, in blind-ending fistulas with an abscess or in enterovesical fistulas, we recommend immediate operation. The therapy of recurrent anorectal Crohn's disease underlies the same rules as primary therapy. If necessary, proctectomy remains the last option. Also, emergency surgery in recurrent Crohn's disease follows the same rules as in elective surgery.
