ABSTRACT

Objetivo: el dolor se define como "una experiencia sensorial y emocional desagradable asociada o similar a la asociada con daño tisular real o potencial". El objetivo de este estudio es describir la prevalencia, evaluación y manejo del dolor, en pacientes hospitalizados en una institución de alta complejidad. Metodología: estudio observacional descriptivo longitudinal. Se incluyeron adultos hospitalizados en una institución de alta complejidad durante tres meses; excluyendo pacientes con <48h de hospitalización, alteración del estado de conciencia, diálisis extrainstitucional o historias clínicas incompletas para cumplir los objetivos. El análisis de la información se realizó aplicando métodos descriptivos. Los análisis fueron llevados a cabo en el paquete estadístico SPSSv.26(Inc, Chicago, IL). Resultados: se incluyeron 655 pacientes hospitalizados que cumplieron criterios de elegibilidad, con una edad promedio de 53.9 años. La mediana de días de estancia hospitalaria fue de 5 (RIQ 2­8). El número de tomas del dolor en relación con el número de tomas de signos vitales es de 1:4. Los pacientes recibieron entre 2 y 6 medicamentos diferentes para el control del dolor, siendo la dipirona, con el 68.5%, la más utilizada. Al egreso casi la totalidad de los pacientes presentó un adecuado control del dolor. Conclusiones: persiste una deficiencia en las tomas de la eva cada vez que se toman los signos vitales del paciente hospitalizado. La implementación de la política institucional "clínica que alivia el dolor" busca que se logre un adecuado control del dolor durante la hospitalización.


Objective: pain is defined as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated or similar to that associated with actual or potential tissue damage." The aim was to describe the prevalence, evaluation, and management of pain in patients hospitalized in a high complexity institution. Methodology: longitudinal descriptive observational study. Adults hospitalized from an overly complex institution for three months were included; excluding patients with <48h of hospitalization, altered state of consciousness, extra-institutional dialysis or incomplete medical records to meet the objectives. The information analysis was conducted by applying descriptive methods. The analyzes were carried out in the statistical package SPSSv.26 (Inc, Chicago, IL). Results: 655 hospitalized patients who met eligibility criteria were included, with a mean age of 53.9 years. The median days of hospital stay was 5 (IQR, 2­8). The number of shots of pain in relation to the number of vital signs shots is 1: 4. The patients received between 2 and 6 different medications for pain control, with dipyrone being the most widely used (68.5%). At discharge, almost all of the patients had adequate pain control. Conclusions: a deficiency persists in the VAS measurements each time the vital signs of the hospitalized patient are taken. The implementation of the institutional policy "clinic that relieves pain" seeks to achieve adequate pain control during hospitalization.

ABSTRACT

Avaliar a associação da medida de frequência cardíaca (FC) e saturação periférica de oxigênio (SpO2 ) utilizando um aplicativo de celular e um monitor multiparamétrico. Métodos: Estudo experimental e randomizado entre participantes saudáveis. Investigou o aplicativo Samsung Health® e o monitor multiparamétrico da marca Midway®, modelo: PM-60. O estudo foi estruturado em quatro etapas. Para análise estatística, aplicou correlação de Pearson e Spearman, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Dos 150 participantes a idade média foi de 22,3±4,5 anos, o sexo feminino foi predominante (71,3%). Verificouse forte correlação da FC medida pelo monitor com a FC do aplicativo de celular (r=0,93) indicando correlação positiva (p<0,001). A SpO2 medida por monitor multiparamétrico e pelo aplicativo de celular revelou um r=0,05 (p=0,51), o que atesta uma correlação nula e não significativa. Conclusão: Não houve correlação entre a medida da SpO2 do monitor multiparamétrico e do aplicativo Samsung Health®, não sendo confiável a utilização deste aplicativo para monitorar e gerenciar o sinal vital SpO2 em pessoas saudáveis. A FC medida com o aplicativo é significativa, e pode ser utilizada para monitorar e gerenciar esse sinal vital.


Assess the association of the measure of heart rate (HR) and oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) using a mobile application and a multiparameter monitor. Methods: Study experimental and randomized healthy participants. Investigated the application Samsung Health® and multiparameter monitor Midway® make, model: PM-60. The study was divided into four stages. Statistical analysis was applied Pearson and Spearman correlation with 5% significance level. Results: Of the 150 participants average age was 22.3±4.5 years, females were predominant (71.3%). There was a strong correlation HR measured by the monitor application to cell FC (r=0.93) indicating a positive correlation (p<0.001). SpO2 measured by multiparameter monitor and the mobile application revealed r=0.05 (p=0.51), which demonstrates a zero and no significant correlation. Conclusion: There was no correlation between the SpO2 measurement of the multiparameter monitor and the Samsung Health® app, not being trusted to use this application to monitor and manage the vital sign SpO2 in healthy people. The HR measured with the application is significant, and can be used to monitor and manage this vital sign.

ABSTRACT

Physiological parameter monitoring is essential to medical staff to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Monitoring in NICU includes basic vital signal monitoring and functional monitoring. Basic vital signal monitoring (including ECG, respiration, SpO2, blood pressure, temperature) is advanced and focus on study of usability, continuity and anti-interference. Functional monitoring (including respiratory function, circulatory function, cerebral function) still focus on study of monitoring precision and reliability. Meanwhile, video monitoring and artifact intelligence have presented well performance on improving monitoring precision and anti-interference. In this article, the main parameters and relevant measurement technology for monitoring critical neonates were described.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the effect of using the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) system on the compliance of the vital signs monitoring interval with those recommended for patients in the emergency room. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental, before-and-after study, performed in an emergency room with 280 adult patients selected by convenience. The effect of NEWS on the compliance of the vital signs monitoring interval with those recommended by the system was analyzed by linear regression. Results: In the Pre-NEWS phase, 143 patients were analyzed (mean age ± standard deviation: 54.4 ± 20.5; male: 56.6%) and, in the Post-NEWS phase, 137 patients (mean age ± standard deviation: 55.5 ± 20.8; male: 50.4%). There was compliance of the vital signs monitoring interval with what is recommended by NEWS in 92.6% of vital signs records after adopting this instrument. This compliance was 9% (p < 0.001) higher in the Post-NEWS phase. Conclusion: The use of the NEWS system increased the compliance of the vital signs monitoring intervals with the ones recommended, but this compliance decreased when the NEWS score pointed to a shorter interval in the monitoring of vital signs.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: This quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate the impact of early and regular mobilization on vital signs and oxygen saturation in open-heart surgery patients. Methods: The study universe comprised patients undergoing open-heart surgery in the cardiovascular intensive care unit of a heart center. The study sample consisted of patients who underwent open-heart surgery from November 2016 to April 2017, met the inclusion criteria, and voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. The study included 75 patients. Of these, 67 completed the mobilization program in two days, starting on the first postoperative day. Each patient was mobilized three times: twice on the first postoperative day and once on the second postoperative day. Vital signs and oxygen saturation for each patient were measured 10 minutes before and 20 minutes after each mobilization. Results: The difference between pulse and systolic blood pressure values measured before and after the first mobilization was statistically significant (P<0.05). In addition, the difference between the mean systolic blood pressure values before the first mobilization and after the third mobilization (123.43±14.09 mmHg and 117.94±14.05 mmHg, respectively) was statistically significant (P<0.05). The other parameters measured in relation to the mobilizations were in the normal range. Conclusion: Early and frequent mobilization did not cause vital signs and oxygen saturation to deviate from normal limits in open-heart surgery patients.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos da música sobre a ansiedade-estado, parâmetros fisiológicos e laboratoriais, em doadores de sangue. Métodos: Ensaio clínico randomizado, duplo-cego, realizado em um Hemocentro Regional, localizado no interior de Minas Gerais. Participaram do estudo 126 doadores de sangue, divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos, sendo grupo experimental (intervenção musical antes da doação de sangue) e grupo controle (rotina padrão). Utilizou-se para a avaliação dos escores de ansiedade-estado, o Inventário de Ansiedade Traço-Estado (IDATE). A intervenção musical constitui-se de um repertório de músicas eruditas aplicadas através de fones de ouvidos, por aproximadamente 26 minutos. Para as variáveis quantitativas empregou-se análises descritivas, para análise das diferenças entre os escores de ansiedade-estado, frequência cardíaca e respiratória, utilizou-se Teste t Student e, Teste não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney para avaliar a diferença entre os valores de pressão arterial, saturação de oxigênio e níveis de cortisol. Resultados: O grupo submetido à intervenção musical não apresentou redução estatisticamente significativa dos escores de ansiedade-estado (p=0,31). Entretanto, observou-se reduções significativas na frequência cardíaca (p=0,006), frequência respiratória (p=0,007) e níveis de cortisol sanguíneo (p<0,001). Conclusão: A música não reduziu os níveis de ansiedade-estado. Contudo, foi possível demonstrar a eficácia da intervenção na redução de parâmetros fisiológicos e laboratoriais, os quais apresentam-se alterados frente a situações ansiogênicas.


Resumen Objetivo: Analizar los efectos de la música sobre la ansiedad-estado, parámetros fisiológicos y de laboratorio en donantes de sangre. Métodos: Ensayo clínico aleatorizado, doble ciego, realizado en un centro de donación de sangre regional, ubicado en el interior del estado de Minas Gerais. Participaron en el estudio 126 donantes de sangre, divididos aleatoriamente en dos grupos: un grupo experimental (intervención musical antes de la donación de sangre) y un grupo de control (rutina normal). Para analizar la puntuación de la ansiedad-estado, se utilizó el Cuestionario de Ansiedad Estado Rasgo (IDATE). La intervención musical estaba compuesta por un repertorio de música erudita aplicada con auriculares, durante 26 minutos aproximadamente. Para las variables cuantitativas, se emplearon análisis descriptivos. Se utilizó el test-T Student para analizar las diferencias entre la puntuación de la ansiedad-estado, la frecuencia cardíaca y respiratoria y la prueba no paramétrica de Mann-Whitney para analizar la diferencia entre los valores de presión arterial, saturación de oxígeno y niveles de cortisol. Resultados: El grupo sometido a la intervención musical no presentó reducción estadísticamente significativa en la puntuación de la ansiedad-estado (p=0,31). Sin embargo, se observaron reducciones significativas en la frecuencia cardíaca (p=0,006), frecuencia respiratoria (p=0,007) y niveles de cortisol sanguíneo (p<0,001). Conclusión: La música no redujo los niveles de ansiedad-estado. No obstante, fue posible demostrar la eficacia de la intervención para la reducción de parámetros fisiológicos y de laboratorio, que se presentan alterados ante situaciones ansiógenas.


Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effects of music on state-anxiety, physiological and laboratory parameters in blood donors. Methods: Randomized, double-blinded clinical trial, conducted in a regional blood bank, located in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. In total, 126 blood donors participated in the study, randomly divided into two groups, being one experimental group (musical intervention before blood donation) and one control group (standard routine). To assess the state-anxiety scores, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used. The musical intervention consists of a repertoire of classical songs played through headphones, lasting approximately 26 minutes. For the quantitative variables, descriptive analyses were used to analyze the differences between state-anxiety, heart rate and respiratory rate, Student's t- test and Mann-Whitney's nonparametric test to evaluate the difference between blood pressure, oxygen saturation and cortisol levels. Results: The group submitted to musical intervention did not present a statistically significant reduction in state-anxiety scores (p = 0.31). Nevertheless, significant reductions in heart rate (p=0.006), respiratory rate (p=0.007) and blood cortisol levels (p<0.001) were observed. Conclusion: Music did not reduce the state-anxiety levels. We were able to demonstrate the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing physiological and laboratory parameters though, which are altered in the face of anxiogenic situations.

ABSTRACT

In order to obtain the three-dimensional pulse information and blood pressure waveform needed in the study, a radial artery simulation platform with programmable controlled injection pump as the core was constructed by using the circulation theory of human cardiovascular system and pulse wave formation mechanism. Gaussian function model was selected to synthesize multi-type pulse wave to program and drive the platform. The three-dimensional pulse information and blood pressure waveform of the simulated radial artery were collected by binocular visual pulse detection system and pressure transmitter respectively, and the platform stability and repeatability were tested by Pearson correlation. The experimental results show that the radial artery simulation platform is stable, reliable and repeatable, and can generate multiple types of three-dimensional pulse information and blood pressure waveform at the simulated radial artery. The platform is simple in structure, low in cost, and produces many types of pulsating flow. It provides an experimental research platform for revealing the relationship between the three-dimensional pulse information of radial artery and the change of pressure inside the vessel, as well as the prediction of blood pressure waveform from the three-dimensional pulse information.

ABSTRACT

Physiological parameters monitoring is essential to direct medical staff to evaluate, diagnose and treat critical patients quantitatively. ECG, blood pressure, SpO2, respiratory rate and body temperature are the basic vital signs of patients in the ICU. The measuring methods are relatively mature at present, and the trend is to be wireless and more accurate and comfortable. Hemodynamics, oxygen metabolism and microcirculation should be taken seriously during the treatment of acute critical patients. The related monitoring technology has made significant progress in recent years, the trend is to reduce the trauma and improve the accuracy and usability. With the development of machine vision and data fusion technology, the identification of patient behavior and deterioration has become hot topics. This review is focused on current parameters monitoring technologies, aims to provide reference for future related research.

ABSTRACT

La presente propuesta de diseño busca la interoperabilidad de datos en salud por medio de la integración de un sistema de comunicación a equipos especializados, utilizando las TI (Tecnologías de la Información) y el IoT (Internet de las Cosas) en los equipos biomédicos especializados o monitor que está siendo utilizado actualmente en los centros hospitalarios público a nivel nacional para la medición de signos vitales, con el objetivo de poder brindar una atención sanitaria a pacientes con padecimientos médicos y que necesitan de una constante supervisión y vigilancia. En los centros hospitalarios se cuenta con equipo biomédico especializado que carece de dichas funcionalidades. Esto repercute u obliga al responsable especialista a tener que estar frente al monitor y paciente para poder observar las mediciones o lecturas que presenta un paciente.


This design proposal seeks the interoperability of health data through the integration of a communication system to specialized equipment, using IT (Information Technology) and IoT (Internet of Things) in specialized biomedical equipment or monitor that is currently being used in public hospitals nationwide for the measurement of vital signs, in order to provide health care to patients with medical conditions and who need constant surveillance. Hospitals have specialized biomedical equipment that lacks these functionalities. This forces the responsible specialist to have to be in front of the monitor and the patient to be able to observe the measurements or readings that a patient presents.

ABSTRACT

Hypothermia is one of the main events and consequently nursing diagnoses found in patients undergoing anesthetic-surgical procedures. The consequences caused by hypothermia directly interfere with the individual's recovery after the surgical anesthetic procedure, which can cause an increase in cardiac and respiratory morbidity, an increase in the rate of infections and an increase in the hospital stay. It aimed to evaluate the patient's warm-up using the Forced Air Heating System, during the post-anesthetic recovery period. The method used was a clinical trial, randomized-controlled, without blinding, following the recommendations of the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials, carried out from August to October 2020, in a large, public Municipal Hospital in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The sample consisted of 66 patients, 33 belonging to the Control Group (standard care of the Institution) and 33 to the Experimental Group (heating intervention by Forced Air Heating System), allocated by systematic probabilistic sampling technique, associated with random sampling simple. Data were collected with sociodemographic, clinical, surgical aspects and parameters evaluated in the post-anesthetic recovery period. The research project followed all ethical principles and was submitted to the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials. The Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney test and the Generalized Equations Estimating method were used. The software used in the analyzes was R (version 4.0.2). The results demonstrate that the patient heating as a forced air system was not efficient and did not reestablish the normothermic state, but other benefits related to the heating were evidenced. The mean temperature of the patients at the exit of the post-anesthetic recovery room was higher for the experimental group (35.78ºC) than for the control group (35.60ºC), but this difference was not significant (p = 0.274); the experimental group shows a higher mean time of permanence in the post-anesthetic recovery room (96.97 minutes) than the control group (82.67 minutes) (p = 0.011); the mean body temperature of the patient's entry into the post-anesthetic recovery room was higher in patients in the control group (34.91ºC) than in the experimental group (34.57ºC), this difference being significant (p = 0.003); the mean difference in body temperature in and out of the post-anesthetic recovery room was higher in the experimental group (1.21ºC) than in the control group (0.69ºC); the control group patients present a higher mean systolic blood pressure in the 15 minutes (p = 0.043) and 90 minutes (p = 0.007) of anesthetic recovery and more episodes of hypertension and hypotension (p <0.001) than the patients in the experimental group; the patients of the control group present more episodes of mild and moderate hypoxemia (p <0.001) than the patients of the experimental group; and only the patients in the experimental group presented reports of improvement in the sensation of cold and tremors.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in vital signs and laboratory tests of patients with odontogenic infections who required hospitalization as well as checking their effectiveness in determining the severity of the case and possible correlations with the length of stay. Patients with odontogenic infections who required hospitalization were assessed prospectively between October 2016 and April 2018. The patients were divided into two groups considered as simple (Group 1) or complex (Group 2) cases according to the length of stay. The personal data, comorbidities, signs and symptoms, vital signs and laboratory tests were analyzed. In this study, 84 cases of maxillofacial infections were detected and 50 cases of odontogenic infections were included. There were significant increases in heart rate (p = 0.012), leukocytosis (p = 0.037), neutrophilia (p = 0.021), neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) ratio (p = 0.044) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (p = 0.004) in Group 2. Additionally, there were positive correlations between the length of stay and the following variables: heart rate (p = 0.028), leukocytosis (p = 0.045), neutrophilia (p = 0.033), N/L ratio (p = 0.041) and CRP level (p = 0.003). The N/L ratio was found to have a greater value in regression analysis. It was concluded that there were significant increases in heart rate, leukocytosis, neutrophilia, N/L ratio and CRP levels for the complex cases. There were also positive correlations between the length of stay and the following variables: heart rate, leukocytosis, neutrophilia, N/L ratio and CRP level.


RESUMEN: El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar los cambios en los signos vitales y las pruebas de laboratorio de pacientes con infecciones odontogénicas que requirieron hospitalización, así como verificar su efectividad para determinar la gravedad del caso y las posibles correlaciones con la duración de la internación. Pacientes con infecciones odontogénicas que requirieron hospitalización fueron evaluados prospectivamente entre octubre de 2016 y abril de 2018. Los pacientes se dividieron en dos grupos considerados como casos simples (Grupo 1) o complejos (Grupo 2) según la duración de la internación. Se analizaron los datos personales, comorbilidades, signos y síntomas, signos vitales y pruebas de laboratorio. En este estudio, se detectaron 84 casos de infecciones maxilofaciales y se incluyeron 50 casos de infecciones odontogénicas. Hubo aumentos significativos en la frecuencia cardíaca (p = 0,012), leucocitosis (p = 0,037), neutrofilia (p = 0,021), relación neutrófilos / linfocitos (N/L) (p = 0,044) y niveles de proteína C reactiva (PCR) (p = 0,004) en el Grupo 2. Además, hubo correlaciones positivas entre la duración de la internación y las siguientes variables: frecuencia cardíaca (p = 0,028), leucocitosis (p = 0,045), neutrofilia (p = 0,033), relación N/L (p = 0,041) y nivel de PCR (p = 0,003). Se encontró que la relación N/L tenía un mayor valor en el análisis de regresión. En conclusión, hubo aumentos significativos en la frecuencia cardíaca, leucocitosis, neutrofilia, relación N/L y niveles de PCR para los casos complejos. También hubo correlaciones positivas entre la duración de la internación y las siguientes variables: frecuencia cardíaca, leucocitosis, neutrofilia, relación N/L y nivel de PCR.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: recém-nascidos (RN), que passam semanas ou meses na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN), são submetidos a um número elevado de procedimentos dolorosos. Estes procedimentos podem desencadear uma resposta global, que inclui alterações fisiológicas, endócrinas e comportamentais. Apesar do grande número de escalas validadas nas últimas décadas, até o momento, não existe um método ideal para a avaliação da dor neonatal. Desta forma, outros parâmetros têm sido explorados, como por exemplo, as dosagens de mediadores inflamatórios. Objetivos: avaliar padrões fisiológicos, comportamentais e endócrinos, relacionados a procedimentos dolorosos, nos primeiros três dias de vida em RN, hospitalizados em UTIN. Método: estudo clínico primário, observacional e prospectivo, desenvolvido na UTIN do Hospital Universitário, da Universidade de São Paulo. Foram coletados dados demográficos dos RN, bem como do número e o tipo de procedimentos dolorosos, medidas farmacológicas e não farmacológicas adotadas. Foram coletados ainda sinais vitais e escores de dor registrados em prontuário clínico. Finalmente, foram coletadas três amostras de saliva, por três dias consecutivos (1-3) para a dosagem de 11 citocinas (IFNg, IL1b, IL2, IL4, IL6, IL8, IL10, IL12, IL17, TNF e VEGF). Resultados: foram incluídos no estudo 90 RN, dos quais 53,33% nasceram de parto cesárea; 62,22% do sexo masculino; 87,78% classificados como adequado para a idade gestacional (AIG); 48,88% são pré-termo e 48,88% de termo; idade gestacional média de 35 semanas; Escore de Apgar médio no 5°min 7,51 (DP=1,95); peso ao nascimento médio 2,56Kg (DP=1,0); o principal diagnóstico registrado foi desconforto respiratório precoce (60%). Tempo médio de permanência na UTIN foi de 54,98 horas (DP=30,61). Os RN foram submetidos ao total de 2.732 procedimentos dolorosos, foram empregadas 540 estratégias não farmacológicas e 216 medidas farmacológicas. Da admissão ao terceiro dia de internação, foram realizados, em média, 30,36 procedimentos dolorosos por RN, com média de 5,98 medidas não farmacológicas e 2,39 medidas farmacológicas. Nas primeiras 24 horas após a admissão, a média de procedimentos foi de 12,78, no primeiro dia, a média foi de 8,1, no segundo e terceiro dias, a média de procedimentos realizados foi de 5,36 e 3,84, respectivamente. O procedimento doloroso mais frequentemente realizado foi a glicemia capilar (20,96%). Registrou-se média de 1,98 medidas não farmacológicas nas primeiras 24 horas após admissão, 1,73 no primeiro dia, sendo média de 1,23 e 0,97 no segundo e terceiro dias, respectivamente. A estratégia não farmacológica mais comumente registrada foi a redução de luminosidade (28,33%). Com relação às medidas farmacológicas, foram adotadas, em média, 0,81 na admissão, 0,66 no primeiro dia, 0,544 no segundo dia e, 0,36 no terceiro dia, sendo o fentanil contínuo (48,83%) a principal medida farmacológica documentada. O escore NIPS e os sinais vitais apresentam variabilidade da admissão ao terceiro dia de internação. Finalmente, observou-se oscilação do nível das 11 citocinas e, destaca-se a presença de correlação positiva das IL-1b (r = 0,52; p<0,05), IL-2 (r = 0,4; p<0,05), IL-6 (r = 0,64; p<0,05) e VEGF (r = 0,44; p<0,05) com o número de procedimentos dolorosos Conclusões: evidencia-se que da admissão ao terceiro dia de internação na UTIN, os RN foram expostos a número elevado de procedimentos potencialmente dolorosos, sendo insuficiente o manejo da dor. As alterações fisiológicas e comportamentais não refletem necessariamente o número de intervenções nas quais os RN foram submetidos. Destaca-se ainda, que a dosagem dos mediadores inflamatórios nas amostras de saliva pode fornecer fundamentação científica para a avaliação da dor, que juntamente com os parâmetros fisiológicos e comportamentais, amplia as perspectivas para o desenvolvimento de novas pesquisas para investigar a associação entre dor e as citocinas inflamatórias e compreender melhor as características das condições dolorosas.


Introduction: newborns (NB), who spend weeks or months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), undergo a high number of painful procedures. These procedures can trigger a global response, which includes physiological, endocrine and behavioral changes. Despite the large number of scales validated in recent decades, so far, there is no ideal method for the assessment of neonatal pain. Thus, other parameters have been explored, such as, for example, the dosages of inflammatory mediators. Objectives:to evaluate physiological, behavioral and endocrine patterns, related to painful procedures, in the first three days of life in newborns hospitalized in the NICU. Method: primary, observational and prospective clinical study, developed at the NICU of the University Hospital of the University of São Paulo. Demographic data of newborns were collected, as well as the number and type of painful procedures, pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures adopted. Vital signs and pain scores recorded in clinical records were also collected. Finally, three saliva samples were collected for three consecutive days (1-3) for the measurement of 11 cytokines (IFNg, IL1b, IL2, IL4, IL6, IL8, IL10, IL12, IL17, TNF e VEGF). Results: 90 newborns were included in the study, of which 53.33% were born by cesarean delivery; 62.22% were male; 87.78% classified as adequate for gestational age (AGA);48.88% are preterm and 48.88% term; average gestational age of 35 weeks;Mean Apgar score in the 5th min 7.51 (SD = 1.95); average birth weight 2.56 kg (SD = 1.0); the main diagnosis recorded was early respiratory distress (60%). The average length of stay in the NICU was 54.98 hours (SD = 30.61). The newborns underwent a total of 2,732 painful procedures, 540 non-pharmacological strategies and 216 pharmacological measures were used. From admission to the third day of hospitalization, an average of 30.36 painful procedures per NB were performed,with an average of 5.98 non-pharmacological measures and 2.39 pharmacological measures. In the first 24 hours, after admission, the average of procedures was 12.78, on the first day, the average was 8.1, on the second and third days, the average of the procedures performed was 5.36 and 3.84, respectively. The most frequently performed painful procedure was capillary glycemia (20.96%).An average of 1.98 non-pharmacological measures was recorded in the first 24 hours after admission, 1.73 on the first day, with an average of 1.23 and 0.97 on the second and third days, respectively.The most commonly registered non-pharmacological strategy was the reduction in brightness (28.33%). Regarding pharmacological measures, an average of 0.81 was taken at admission, 0.66 on the first day, 0.544 on the second day and 0.36 on the third day, with continuous fentanyl (48.83%) being the main pharmacological measure documented. The Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) and vital signs show variability from admission to the third day of hospitalization. Finally, there was an oscillation in the level of the 11 cytokines and the presence of a positive correlation of IL-1b (r = 0.52; p <0.05), IL-2 (r = 0.4; p < 0.05), IL-6 (r = 0.64; p <0.05) and VEGF (r = 0.44; p <0.05), with the number of painful procedures. Conclusions: it is evident that from admission to the third day of hospitalization to the NICU,the NBs were exposed to a high number of potentially painful procedures, with insufficient pain management. Physiological and behavioral changes do not necessarily reflect the number of interventions to which newborns have undergone. It is also noteworthy that the dosage of inflammatory mediators in saliva samples can provide a scientific basis for pain assessment,which, together with the physiological and behavioral parameters, expands the perspectives for the development of new research to investigate the association between pain and inflammatory cytokines and to better understand the characteristics of painful conditions.

ABSTRACT

Background: It is widely established that the extraction of impaled objects should be carried out under direct vision. In the case of stable patients, endoscopic vision can be used as an alternative. Clinical Case: A 70-year-old male is admitted for a 5-hour impaled precordial stab wound. Evolution valued according to ATLS standards. Clinically and hemodynamically compensated patient. On physical examination: left pulmonary hypoventilation, subcutaneous emphysema, no jugular engorgement. Control of vital signs: TA: 110 / 70mmHg, FC: 70min, FR: 20min, Sat02: 97%. Complementary studies: ECO FAST: no pericardial fluid. Rx thorax: mild left pneumothorax heme. Chest CT: Puncture object of 18 cm in the left lung of AP and medial to the lateral path, hematoma of the angle, and hemopneumothorax grade I. Surgery: Patient in dorsal recumbency, under ARM with selective intubation. An incision in 5th left intercostal space, middle axillary line. 10mm trocar placement, 30 ° optics introduction. After discarding the commitment of the pericardium, active bleeding, and observing that the end of the weapon was going through the end of the angle, the weapon is removed under endoscopic vision. Clot washing/aspiration. Verification of hemostasis, absence of air leakage and pulmonary expansion. Drainage with 28 French tubes. Evolution: Derived from UTI extubated. CT scan thorax 72 h post: small intraparenchymal hematoma left, expanded lung. Minimum serohematic debit. Pleural tube and definitive discharge are removed on the 4th post-surgical day. Discussion: The literature suggests in the urgency, the removal of impaled objects under direct vision of the compromised structures. However, in stable patients, the previous study with CT should be unavoidable. Video-thoracoscopy in these wounded can avoid open surgery, but the procedure must be performed in trauma reference centers, with the appropriate means and by a trained surgical team willing to perform an emergency thoracotomy
