Estudo da pressão arterial pelo método indireto oscilométrico (petmap®) em cães domésticos não anestesiados / Study of blood pressure by the indirect oscillometric method (petmap®) in domestic unanesthetized dogs

O estudo das pressões arteriais sistólica, média, diastólica e da frequência cardíaca, pelo método indireto oscilométrico (petmap®), foi realizado em 150 cães atendidos pelo Serviço de Clínica Médica de Pequenos Animais da FMVZ - Unesp/Botucatu. Investigou-se a influência de fatores como presença do proprietário, estado de saúde, diagnóstico de doença renal, raça, idade, sexo, decúbito, contenção, fluidoterapia, condição corpórea, temperamento, atividade física, dieta e atitude associados ou não à elevação da pressão arterial. Dos 150 cães, 34% encontravam-se sob a categoria de risco mínimo para o desenvolvimento de lesões hipertensivas, 14,6% com hipertensão branda, 22,6% com hipertensão moderada e 28,66%, com hipertensão grave. Houve influência, dos fatores analisados, na elevação da pressão arterial de acordo com a categoria de risco.

The study of systolic, mean, diastolic and heart rate by the oscillometric indirect method (PetMapTM) was performed in 150 dogs attended by the Small Animal Service of Medicine of FMVZ - Unesp/Botucatu. The influence of factors such as presence of the owner, health status, diagnosis of kidney disease, race, age, sex, recumbency, containment, fluid, body condition, temperament, physical activity, diet and attitude associated or not with elevated blood pressure was investigated. Of the 150 dogs, 34% were under the category of minimal risk for the development of hypertensive lesions, 14.6% with mild hypertension, 22.6% with moderate hypertension and 28.66% with severe hypertension. The analyzed factors influenced the elevation of blood pressure according to risk category.

Dos procedimientos diagnósticos en la infección bacteriana severa en el niño febril / Two diagnostic procedures in the severe bacterial infection in the febrile child

Comenta que el objetivo fundamental de la evaluación del niño con fiebre sin causa está en el riesgo que tiene de padecer de infección bacteriana severa. Argumenta que se proyectó este trabajo con el objetivo de determinar la utilidad de los 2 métodos en la identificación de la infección bacteriana severa y compara los resultados de ambos. Propone una investigación de tipo de evaluación de medios diagnósticos en 120 infantes de 29 días a 12 meses, que ingresaron por fiebre sin etiología determinada en el momento de su visita al cuerpo de guardia del Hospital General "Aleida Fernández Chardiet". Distingue que las infecciones bacterianas severas predominaron en los grupos de riesgo y alto riesgo de las categorías de riesgo y los grupos I-II de las categorías diagnósticas y que existe correlación entre ambas categorías diagnósticas. Considera que ambos métodos fueron válidos y recomienda generalizar las categorías de bajo riesgo y riesgo en la evaluación del niño febril e introducirlas en el grupo III.

The main objective of the evaluation of the child with fever without resource is at the risk he has for suffering from severe bacterial infection. This paper was designed to determine the usefulness of the 2 methods in the identification of the severe bacterial infection and to compare their results. It was recommended to make an evaluation of the diagnostic tools in 120 infants aged 29 days-12 months that were admitted due to fever without etiology at the moment of their visit to the emergency room of "Aleida Fernández Chardiet" General Hospital. The severe bacterial infections predominated in the risk and high risk groups wihtin the risk categories and in the groups I-II of the diagnostic categories. It was observed correlation between both diagnostic categories. It was considered that both methods were valid and it was suggested to generalize the categories of low risk and risk in the evaluation of the febrile child and introduce them into group III.
