ABSTRACT

The INHALATOR study was a randomized, multicentre, open label, two-period of 7 days each, crossover study, with 7 days of washout in-between, aiming to evaluate the correct use, satisfaction and preference between Breezhaler® and Respimat® devices in patients under daily use of open Spiriva® or open Onbrize®, as monotherapy for treatment of mild or moderate COPD. Patients aged ≥40 years with a smoking history of at least 10 pack-year were included in the study. Primary endpoint was the rate of correct use of each device at the first day of treatment after reading the drug leaflet information and was evaluated under the supervision of a trained evaluator. At the end of each treatment phase, the inhaler use was re-evaluated and a satisfaction questionnaire was completed. The patients' preference for the inhaler devices was assessed at the end of the study. After exclusions due to screening failures, 140 patients were randomized: 136 received at least one dose of Breezhaler® and 135 of Respimat®. At treatment start, the rate of correct inhaler use was 40.4% (95%CI: 32.2%-48.7%) for Breezhaler® and 36.3% (95%CI: 28.2%-44.4%) for Respimat® (p = 0.451). After 7 days, the rates were 68.9% (95%CI: 61.1%-76.7%) and 60.4% (95%CI: 52.2%-68.7%), respectively (p = 0.077). According to the Feeling of Satisfaction with Inhaler Questionnaire - FSI 10 patients were more satisfied using Breezhaler® than Respimat® and 57.1% preferred using Breezhaler® (p = 0.001) while 30.1% preferred Respimat® (p < 0.001).

ABSTRACT

A Saúde do Trabalhador (ST) compreende um conjunto de ações de saúde que abrangem promoção, prevenção, diagnóstico, assistência, reabilitação, vigilância à saúde, ao meio ambiente e às condições de trabalho. A Constituição Federal em 1988 incorporou as ações de Saúde do Trabalhador ao Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e a Rede Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde do Trabalhador (RENAST), criada em 2002, inclui as ações de Saúde do Trabalhador no SUS, organizadas a partir dos Centros de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador (CRST). A Política Nacional de Saúde do Trabalhador e da Trabalhadora (PNST) tem como estratégia a estruturação da RENAST no contexto da Rede de Atenção à Saúde (RAS) com ações de Saúde do Trabalhador junto à atenção primária em saúde, que deve ser a ordenadora da rede e coordenadora do cuidado. Cabe aos Centros de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador, desempenhar as funções de suporte técnico, educação permanente, coordenação de projetos de promoção, vigilância e assistência à saúde dos trabalhadores, no âmbito da sua área de abrangência; dar apoio matricial (AM) para o desenvolvimento das ações de saúde do trabalhador na atenção primária em saúde, nos serviços especializados e de urgência e emergência, bem como na promoção e vigilância nos diversos pontos de atenção da Rede de Atenção à Saúde (BRASIL, 2012). O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar a construção da linha de cuidado em Saúde do Trabalhador no território. Como resultado observou-se o aumento e melhoria da qualidade dos encaminhamentos das unidades para o CRST-SA. Fortalecimento do vínculo do CRST-SA com as unidades por meio de contato pessoal, e-mail e telefone. Os profissionais das unidades que participam do matriciamento multiplicam o conhecimento adquirido junto à sua equipe e no atendimento ao usuário.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of smoking among hospitalized patients in a general hospital, and to evaluate their profile. METHODS: A random representative sample of 111 patients, classified as nonsmokers, former smokers or smokers, was evaluated. The smokers were submitted to the Fagerström test and measurement of expired carbon monoxide. Expired carbon monoxide higher than 6 ppm was considered a significant indicator of recent smoking. RESULTS: Of the 111 patients in the sample, 60 (54%) were female. The mean age was 70 years. Of the 111 patients, 56 (51%) had never smoked, 36 (32%) were former smokers, and 19 (17%) were smokers. All of the smokers were male. The smokers were younger (58 +/- 17 years) than the nonsmokers (68 +/- 14 years) and the former smokers (73 +/- 14 years)--ANOVA: F = 6.57 (p = 0.002). Among the smokers, the mean tobacco intake was 43 pack-years and the mean Fagerström score was 5.0. Of the 19 smokers, 11 (58%) had respiratory symptoms and 3 had withdrawal symptoms. The mean expired carbon monoxide in the smokers was 5.0 ppm. Expired carbon monoxide levels were higher than 6 ppm in 8 (42%) of the smokers. There was a higher prevalence of smokers in some wards: 70% of all smokers were hospitalized on only five wards. CONCLUSIONS: In a large tertiary hospital, 17% of the hospitalized patients were smokers, and 7% had smoked within the last 8 hours. The smokers were younger men, hospitalized on specific wards.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Determinar a freqüência do tabagismo em pacientes internados em um hospital geral, e caracterizar o perfil dos fumantes hospitalizados. MÉTODOS: Foi avaliada uma amostra representativa e aleatória de 111 pacientes internados, classificados como não-fumantes, ex-fumantes e fumantes. Nos fumantes foi aplicado o questionário de Fagerström e obtidas medidas de monóxido de carbono no ar expirado. Valores acima de 6 ppm de monóxido de carbono no ar expirado foram considerados significantes para tabagismo recente. RESULTADOS: Dos 111 pacientes, 60 (54%) eram do sexo feminino. A média de idade foi de 70 anos. Do total, 56 pacientes (51%) nunca fumaram, 36 (32%) eram ex-fumantes e 19 (17%) eram fumantes atuais. Todos os fumantes eram do sexo masculino. Os fumantes tinham menor idade (58 ± 17 anos), em comparação aos não-fumantes (68 ± 14 anos) e ex-fumantes (73 ± 14 anos)-ANOVA: F = 6,57 (p = 0,002). A carga tabágica média dos fumantes foi de 43 anos-maço. A média do escore de Fagerström foi de 5,0. Dos 19 fumantes, 11 (58%) tinham sintomas respiratórios, e 3 tinham sintomas de abstinência. A média de monóxido de carbono no ar expirado dos fumantes foi 5,0 ppm. Oito (42%) dos fumantes tinham níveis de monóxido de carbono no ar expirado acima de 6 ppm. Houve maior prevalência de tabagistas em algumas clinicas: 70% dos fumantes se encontravam em apenas cinco enfermarias. CONCLUSÕES: Em um grande hospital terciário, 17% dos pacientes internados eram fumantes e destes 7% fumaram nas últimas 8 horas. Os fumantes eram pacientes mais jovens do sexo masculino, internados em determinadas clínicas.

ABSTRACT

A propósito de um caso de carcinoma espin-celular do terço médio do esôfago, com metástase isolada no íleo terminal, operado no Hospital Escola da Faculdade de Medicina do ABC, é feita uma revisäo do assunto, assinalando a raridade do achado, pois apenas 18 casos foram relatos na literatura, sendo todos descritos em material de necropsias. No caso estudado, a revisäo minuciosa da cavidade abdominal após execuçäo de gastrotomia, mostrou lesäo neoplásica no íelo terminal, que foi ressecada. O exame histopatológico revelou o caráter metastático da lesäo. A partir deste achado, é enfatizada a importância de uma revisäo sistemática e minuciosa de toda a cavidade abdominal nos pacientes portadores de carcinoma espino-celular de esôfago
