Atuação da equipe multiprofissional no atendimento de um grande queimado: Um relato de caso / The multiprofessional team's performance in serving a large burn: a case report

OBJETIVO: Discorrer sobre a atuação multiprofissional no atendimento a um paciente grande queimado em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) geral. RELATO DO CASO: Paciente do sexo feminino, 27 anos, com história de asma, obesidade. Vítima de queimadura por álcool, autoinfligida (tentativa de suicídio), apresentando queimaduras de 2° e 3° graus em 65% da superfície corporal, tendo sido atingidas as regiões: cervical, torácica e abdominal, em membros superiores e inferiores, face e vias aéreas. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: Foram muitos os desafios enfrentados durante essa internação, destacando-se as dificuldades de manejar um paciente grande queimado em uma UTI geral. Espera-se que esse caso represente um estímulo para a realização de novas pesquisas no sentido de repensar, modificar, aprimorar e instrumentalizar a equipe multiprofissional em relação ao cuidado ao paciente queimado.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the multidisciplinary work in the care of a large burned patient in a general Intensive Care Unit (ICU). CASE REPORT: Female patient, 27 years old, with history of asthma, obesity. Self-inflicted alcohol burn victim (attempted suicide), with burns of 2nd and 3rd degrees on 65% of the body surface, having been affected: cervical, thoracic and abdominal regions, upper and lower limbs, face and pathways aerial. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: There were many challenges faced during this hospitalization, highlighting the difficulties of managing a large burned patient in a general ICU. This case is expected to represent a stimulus for further research in the sense of rethinking, modifying, improving and equipping the multiprofessional team in relation to the care for burned patients.

Kidney disease and hemodialysis: identification of blood biomarkers to detect heart failure and kidney failure / Enfermedad renal y hemodiálisis: identificación de biomarcadores sanguíneos para detectar insuficiencia cardíaca e insuficiencia renal

Abstract Objectives: to identify valid blood biomarkers to detect heart failure and kidney failure associated with kidney disease and hemodialysis Methods: systematic literature review conducted in August 2018 in the following: Web Of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Cinahal, Cochrane, Science Direct and Lilacs. The guiding question was: "What are the blood biomarkers used to detect heart failure and kidney failure?" A total of537 publications were found, 94 of these appeared more than once, 383 were excluded after reading titles and abstracts, 32 were excluded after reading the full texts, and 10 were excluded in the quantitative and qualitative synthesis. Results: 18 papers compose the final sample and report laboratory and imaging tests, instruments to assess the risk of kidney and heart failure, and also clinical management of the progression of kidney and heart failure. All the studies correlated risk of mortality and death outcome. Conclusion: laboratory tests are important to identifying kidney and heart failure and need to be used to improve clinical management of the hemodialysis treatment of people with chronic kidney disease in order to improve quality of life and life expectancy.
