ABSTRACT
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE There are no reports on reintubation incidence and its causes and consequences during the postoperative period following elective intracranial surgery. The objective here was to evaluate the incidence of reintubation and its causes and complications in this situation. DESIGN AND SETTING Prospective cohort study, using data obtained at a tertiary university hospital between 2003 and 2006. METHODS 169 patients who underwent elective intracranial surgery were studied. Preoperative assessment was performed and the patients were followed up until hospital discharge or death. The rate of reintubation with its causes and complications was ascertained. RESULTS The incidence of reintubation was 12.4%, and the principal cause was lowered level of consciousness (71.5%). There was greater incidence of reintubation among females (P = 0.028), and greater occurrence of altered level of consciousness at the time of extubation (P < 0.0001). Reintubated patients presented longer duration of mechanical ventilation (P < 0.0001), longer stays in the intensive care unit (ICU) and in the hospital (P < 0.0001), greater incidence of pulmonary complications (P < 0.0001), greater need for reoperation and tracheostomy, and higher mortality (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION The incidence of reintubation in these patients was 12.4%. The main cause was lowering of the level of consciousness. Female gender and altered level of consciousness at the time of extubation correlated with higher incidence of reintubation. Reintubation was associated with pulmonary complications, longer durations of mechanical ventilation, hospitalization and stay in the ICU, greater incidence of tracheostomy and mortality. .
RESUMO
CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO Não há relatos sobre incidência de reintubação, suas causas e consequências no pós-operatório de cirurgia intracraniana eletiva. O objetivo foi avaliar a incidência de reintubação, suas causas e complicações em pós-operatório de cirurgia intracraniana eletiva. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL Estudo de coorte prospectivo, com dados que foram obtidos de 2003 a 2006 em um hospital universitário terciário. MÉTODO 169 pacientes submetidos a cirurgia intracraniana eletiva foram estudados. Foi realizada avaliação pré-operatória e os pacientes foram acompanhados até a alta hospitalar ou óbito, verificando a taxa de reintubação, suas causas e complicações. RESULTADOS A incidência de reintubação foi de 12,4% sendo a principal causa o rebaixamento do nível de consciência (71,5%). Houve maior incidência de reintubação no sexo feminino (P = 0,028), bem como do nível de consciência alterado no momento da extubação (P < 0,0001). Pacientes reintubados apresentaram maior tempo de ventilação mecânica (P < 0,0001) e de internação em unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI) e hospitalar (P < 0,0001), maior incidência de complicações pulmonares (P < 0,0001), maior necessidade de reoperação e traqueostomia, além de aumento de mortalidade (P < 0,0001). CONCLUSÃO A incidência de reintubação nesses pacientes foi de 12,4%. A principal causa da reintubação foi o rebaixamento do nível de consciência. O sexo feminino e nível de consciência alterado no momento da extubação foram relacionados à maior incidência ...
