ABSTRACT
Objetivo: avaliar o conhecimento dos profissionais de enfermagem sobre as veias periféricas superiores (mão, antebraço e braços) para escolha do sítio de punção e as novas recomendações brasileiras sobre terapia infusional por cateter periférico. Método: estudo quantitativo, transversal, prospectivo realizado em três unidades de internação de um hospital universitário no norte do Brasil. Foram abordados profissionais da equipe enfermagem. Os dados foram descritos por frequência absoluta e relativa, desvio padrão e média aritmética, para a análise estatística foi utilizado o software EpiInfoTM, versão 7.2.2.6 empregando-se o Teste G, com p valor < 0,005. Resultados: observou-se que o percentual de acertos nas categorias analisadas foi em sua maioria aceitável, principalmente os relacionados a higiene das mãos, seleção de cateter e cuidados com o sítio de inserção. Contudo, observou-se déficit de conhecimento nos itens relacionados as coberturas dos cateteres e avaliação dos cateteres periféricos em todos os profissionais. Adicionalmente, houve divergência de conhecimento entre as categorias profissionais nos itens referentes a estabilização (p=0.005) e remoção do dispositivo periférico (p=0.002), com maior nível de acertos entre os profissionais com maior nível de instrução. Conclusão: nota-se que ainda existem lacunas no conhecimento dos profissionais, indicando a necessidade de educação continuada para melhoria da assistência. (AU)
Objective: To evaluate the knowledge of nursing professionals about the upper peripheral veins (hand, forearm and arms) to choose the puncture site and the new Brazilian recommendations on infusion therapy by peripheral catheter. Methods: Quantitative, cross sectional, prospective study carried out in three inpatient units of a university hospital in northern Brazil. Professionals from the nursing team were approached. The data were described by absolute and relative frequency, standard deviation and arithmetic mean. For statistical analysis, the EpiInfoTM software, version 7.2.2.6 was used using the G Test, with p value <0.005. Results: It was observed that the percentage of correct answers in the analyzed categories was mostly acceptable, mainly those related to hand hygiene, catheter selection and care with the insertion site. However, there was a lack of knowledge in items related to catheter coverage and evaluation of peripheral catheters in all professionals. Additionally, there was a divergence of knowledge between the professional categories in the items referring to stabilization (p = 0.005) and removal of the peripheral device (p = 0.002), with a higher level of correct answers among professionals with a higher level of education. Conclusion: It is noted that there are still gaps in the knowledge of professionals, indicating the need for continuing education to improve care. (AU)

INTRODUCTION: Frantz's Tumor or Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm (SPN) is rare with a solid-cystic pattern, and most common in young women. PRESENTATION OF CASE: This study based on guidelines for case reports (SCARE) reports a case of SPN in a teenager aged 13 years at the diagnosis time, attended at a teaching public hospital in Brazil, which evolved into liver metastases. Clinical, laboratory, therapeutic and imaging data were collected from the physical chart and analyzed in light of current publications on the topic. The first consultation occurred in January 2012, where weight loss, fever, vomiting, left-sided hypochondrium and epigastric pain were reported. Imaging exams evidenced an expansive heterogeneous process in the pancreatic tail; however, laboratory exams and tumor markers did not present alteration in relation to reference values. In March of 2012, she underwent caudal body pancreatectomy, splenectomy, segmental colectomy and colo-coloanastomosis as a function of the intraoperative findings. After 63 months, right-sided hepatectomy was performed to resect metastases. Currently, she is undergoing outpatient monitoring, without complaint or alterations in imaging and laboratory exams, totaling 100 months of global survival. DISCUSSION: This is an interesting case report of a rare tumor, in so far as without any adjuvant chemotherapies, an 8-year long survival time could be achieved in this particular type of tumor despite initially large tumor expansion and later liver metastases. CONCLUSION: Additional epidemiological studies, molecular and clinical trials are required to increase knowledge on SPN.
