ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to determine the most common incompatible and unknown compatibility drug combinations and determine the compatibility of each pair of drugs used in hospitals based on reference books and journals. METHODS: This is a prospective cross sectional study. All babies who were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Units from May 1 to July 31 2021 were sample of the study. Patients who did not receive at least two drug coadministrated concurrently and who stayed less than 24 hours were excluded. Only drug-drug combinations were considered and the other non-drug administrations (electrolyte solutions, parenteral nutritions, and blood products) were excluded. Compatibility data were obtained from literature and online search engines [micromedex NeoFax Essentials 2020, UCL Hospitals Injectable Medicines Administration Guide: Pharmacy Department, 3rd Edition, Trissel Handbook on injectable drugs 15th edition, and published journals]. RESULTS: The most commonly prescribed drug combinations were ampicillin-gentamicin (31.72%), amikacin-ampicillin sulbactam (9.05%), amikacin-ampicillin sulbactam-aminophylline (3.08%). The most common drug incompatible combination was ampicillin - gentamicin (31.71%), for the most drug combinations whose compatibility unknown were amikacin-ampicillin sulbactam (9.05%). CONCLUSION: The high prevalence of incompatible drugs and unknown compatibility was identified, so checking its compatibility can be carried out through a two-dimensional chart to minimize the incidence of incompatibilities.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: to know the process of kangaroo care implementation and dissemination in the state of Santa Catarina. Method: this is socio-historical research with a qualitative approach, with data collection carried out from January to November 2019, through interviews with 12 oral sources. Analysis was carried out in the light of genealogical analysis proposed by Foucault, with the help of Atlas.ti Cloud®. Results: the process of kangaroo care implementation and dissemination in Santa Catarina happened from the breaking of resistance to the light of scientific knowledge, training and awareness that gradually captivated health professionals for the incorporation of new knowledge in neonatal care practice. Conclusion: kangaroo care implementation as a public health policy configured a paradigm shift in neonatal care in Santa Catarina. Although scientifically supported, it took years to materialize in the state and still faces resistance.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To build and validate nursing diagnoses based on the International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP®) for premature newborns admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Method: Methodological study based on the Brazilian method for developing subsets: use of specialized nursing language terms, construction of diagnostic statements and content validation of the statements by 40 specialist nurses. Those with a Content Validity Index (CVI) ≥ 0.80, organized according to Wanda Horta's basic human needs theory, were considered valid. Results: 146 nursing diagnosis statements were constructed and 145 (93.3%) diagnoses were validated, with a predominance of the human need for cutaneous-mucosal integrity. Conclusion: The specificity of neonatal care is evident when these diagnoses are presented and validated in order to support nurses in their clinical reasoning and decision-making.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La neuromonitorización de la función cerebral mediante electroencefalografía continua (aEEG/cEEG) es una herramienta esencial en el cuidado estándar del niño a término, y de utilidad creciente en el niño prematuro como biomarcador de lesión y maduración cerebral. Sin embargo, la colocación de los electrodos supone un gran reto, especialmente en el niño prematuro extremo, desalentando frecuentemente su neuromonitorización. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar los diferentes electrodos disponibles, seleccionar el que mejor se adapta a las peculiaridades del niño prematuro extremo y evaluar su aplicabilidad en la práctica clínica.Población y métodos: Con motivo del diseño de un protocolo de estudio de neuromonitorización mediante aEEG/cEEG en niños prematuros<28 semanas, analizamos nuestra experiencia con los tipos de electrodos disponibles y seleccionamos el que consideramos más adecuado para esta población mediante la valoración de: necesidad de preparación del cuero cabelludo, rapidez de colocación, si se trataba de una aplicación invasiva, posibilidad de reposicionamiento, riesgo de lesiones cutáneas, esterilidad de la técnica y durabilidad. El electrodo elegido se utilizó para la monitorización continua electroencefalográfica iniciada en las primeras 24h de vida y mantenida al menos hasta las 72h.Resultados: Los electrodos evaluados fueron: agujas subdérmicas, cucharillas de plata y 2 tipos de electrodos autoadhesivos (de hidrogel sólido y de gel conductor líquido). Los electrodos de gel conductor líquido fueron los elegidos. Se utilizaron en 41 neonatos con una edad gestacional media de 25,8±1,1 semanas. Se obtuvo una buena impedancia duradera de forma rápida y sin necesidad de manipulaciones excesivas y no observamos lesiones cutáneas. La satisfacción del personal involucrado en su colocación fue muy elevada. (AU)


Introduction: Monitoring of brain function using continuous electroencephalography (aEEG/cEEG) is an essential tool in the standard care of the term infant, and its use is growing in the premature infant as a biomarker of lesion and brain maturity. However, the placing of the electrodes is a great challenge, particularly in the extremely premature infant, which often discourages neuromonitoring. The aim of this study is to assess the different electrodes available, to select the one that best suits the peculiarities of the extremely premature infant, and evaluate its applicability in clinical practice.Population and methods: With the aim of designing a neuromonitoring study protocol using aEEG/cEEG in<28 weeks premature infants, an analysis was made of our experience with the type of electrodes available. The electrode that was considered most suitable for this population was chosen by assessing: the need of preparing the scalp, speed in positioning the electrodes, if the application was invasive or not, the possibility of repositioning, risk of skin injuries, sterility of the technique, and durability. The electrode chosen was used for continuous electroencephalographic monitoring started in the first 24h of life, and maintained until at least 72h of life.Results: The electrodes evaluated were: subdermal needles, silver cups, and 2 types of self-adhesive electrodes (solid hydrogel and wet gel). The wet gel electrodes were chosen. They were used on 41 neonates with a mean gestational age of 25.8±1.1 weeks. Good stable impedance was rapidly obtained, without the need of excessive manipulations, and no skin injuries were observed. The satisfaction of the staff involved in positioning them was very high.

The electrode chosen was used for continuous electroencephalographic monitoring started in the first 24 h of life, and maintained until at least 72 h of life. RESULTS: The electrodes evaluated were: subdermal needles, silver cups, and 2 types of self-adhesive electrodes (solid hydrogel and wet gel). The wet gel electrodes were chosen. They were used on 41 neonates with a mean gestational age of 25.8 ±â€¯1.1 weeks. Good stable impedance was rapidly obtained, without the need of excessive manipulations, and no skin injuries were observed. The satisfaction of the staff involved in positioning them was very high. CONCLUSION: The self-adhesive disposable electrodes with wet gel and integrated cable enabled the electrodes to be positioned rapidly and provided continuous non-invasive and good quality aEEG/cEEG monitoring in the extremely premature infant.

ABSTRACT

Objective. To describe the experiences of parents of hospitalized preterm children regarding the restrictions implemented in the neonatal intensive care unit -NICU- during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. Qualitative study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted between April and October 2020 with 12 parents of preterm children, whose children were hospitalized and discharged from NICU during the pandemic. The analysis was performed with tools from grounded theory through open and axial coding. Results. The study identified four categories regarding the experience: 1) needing information: refers to the need for clear and close information to compensate for the physical distance; 2) limiting the interaction with the children: expressed as a painful situation, which minimizes opportunities for learning to care at home for their preterm child; 3) the pandemic: adding to the fears: in which the virus appears as a new threat for the children, who are vulnerable given their premature condition; and 4) limiting social support after discharge: identifies that the parents had less family and professional support for care after discharge during times of pandemic. Conclusion. Parents of preterm children lived a difficult experience that became complex within the context of the pandemic. The experiences of parents of preterm children during times of COVID-19 indicate that restrictions to enter neonatal units to prevent the virus transmission limited the interaction with the preterm child and with the health staff and increased the needs for information.


Objetivo. Describir las experiencias de padres de niños prematuros hospitalizados frente a las restricciones implementadas en la Unidad de Cuidado Intensivo Neonatal -UCIN- durante la pandemia por la COVID-19. Métodos. Estudio cualitativo. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas entre abril y octubre de 2020 a 12 padres de niños prematuros; los niños estuvieron hospitalizados y dados de alta en UCIN durante la pandemia. El análisis se realizó con herramientas de la teoría fundamentada mediante codificación abierta y axial. Resultados. Se identificaron cuatro categorías en torno a la experiencia: 1) Necesitando información: se refiere a la necesidad de información clara y cercana para compensar la distancia física; 2) limitando la interacción con los hijos: se expresa como una situación dolorosa, que minimiza las oportunidades de aprendizaje para el cuidado de su hijo prematuro en casa; 3) La pandemia: sumando a los miedos, en la que el virus aparece como una nueva amenaza para los hijos, quienes son vulnerables dada su condición de prematurez; y 4) Limitando el apoyo social después del alta: se identifica que los padres tuvieron menos apoyo familiar y profesional para el cuidado después del alta en tiempos de pandemia. Conclusión. Los padres de los niños prematuros vivieron una experiencia difícil que se complejizó en el contexto de la pandemia. Sus experiencias, en tiempos de COVID 19, indican que las restricciones de ingreso a las unidades neonatales para prevenir la trasmisión del virus limitaron la interacción con el hijo prematuro y con el personal de salud e incrementaron las necesidades de información.


Objetivo. Descrever as experiências de pais de crianças prematuras hospitalizadas frente às restrições implantadas na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal -UCIN- durante a pandemia do COVID-19. Métodos. Estudo qualitativo. Entrevistas semiestruturadas foram realizadas entre abril e outubro de 2020 com 12 pais de crianças prematuras, cujos filhos foram hospitalizados e receberam alta da UTIN durante a pandemia. A análise foi realizada com ferramentas da teoria fundamentada por meio de codificação aberta e axial. Resultados. Quatro categorias foram identificadas em torno da experiência: 1) Necessidade de informação: refere-se à necessidade de informações claras e próximas para compensar a distância física; 2) limitação da interação com os filhos: expressa-se como uma situação dolorosa, que minimiza as oportunidades de aprendizagem para cuidar do filho prematuro em casa; 3) A pandemia: agravando os medos: em que o vírus surge como uma nova ameaça às crianças, vulneráveis pela prematuridade; e 4) Limitação do suporte social após a alta: identifica-se que os pais tiveram menos apoio familiar e profissional para o cuidado após a alta em momentos de pandemia. Conclusão. Os pais das crianças prematuras tiveram uma experiência difícil que se tornou mais complexa no contexto da pandemia. As experiências de pais de bebês prematuros na época do COVID 19 indicam que as restrições de admissão em unidades neonatais para prevenir a transmissão do vírus limitaram a interação com o bebê prematuro e com o pessoal de saúde e aumentaram as necessidades de informação

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: analisar, sob a ótica dos profissionais que atuam em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal e dos pais das crianças internadas, o entendimento do cuidado centrado na família. Método: estudo quantitativo de abordagem descritiva, realizado em 2018 com 19 profissionais de enfermagem de um hospital de ensino na região noroeste do Paraná e nove familiares. Utilizaram-se dois questionários autoaplicáveis acerca do tema e os sujeitos foram abordados durante seu período de permanência na unidade. Os dados foram analisados por estatística descritiva. Pesquisa aprovada pelo comitê de ética em pesquisa da instituição. Resultados: a equipe demonstra acolhimento pela família, os pais sentem esse vínculo, porém nos momentos de tomada de decisão, esta ainda é centralizada no profissional de saúde. Conclusão: a percepção dos profissionais e dos familiares converge para o cuidado centrado na família, porém, de forma incipiente, desconhecendo seus demais desdobramentos e maneiras de colocá-lo em prática.


Objective: to examine family-centered care as seen by health personnel working in a neonatal intensive care unit and the parents of children hospitalized there. Method: this quantitative, descriptive study was conducted in 2018 with 19 nursing personnel at a teaching hospital in northwest Paraná State and nine family members. Two self-administered questionnaires on the topic were used, and study subjects were approached during their time at the unit. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study was approved by the institution's research ethics committee. Results: the team demonstrated acceptance by the family, and the parents felt that bond, although decision making still centered on the health professional. Conclusion: the health personnel's and patient relatives' perceptions converge to family-centered care, although in an incipient manner, and they are unaware of how it can be further developed and put into practice.

ABSTRACT

Resumen OBJETIVO: Estimar la morbilidad y mortalidad de los recién nacidos vivos en un hospital privado de México, a través de los ingresos a las unidades de cuidados intensivos neonatales y de terapia intermedia neonatal. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio de serie de casos de recién nacidos en el Hospital Ángeles Lomas, Estado de México, que ingresaron a la unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales o a la unidad de terapia intermedia neonatal entre 2016 y 2019. Se incluyeron todos los recién nacidos vivos, mayores de 24 semanas de gestación. Se efectuó un análisis descriptivo y se calcularon medias, porcentajes y desviaciones estándar. RESULTADOS: Se registraron 4234 recién nacidos, de ellos 13.7% fueron prematuros. Ingresaron 478 (11.3%) neonatos a cuneros dedicados a la atención de sus morbilidades, 203 a la unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales (4.8%) y 275 a la unidad de terapia intermedia neonatal (6.5%). Las principales causas de ingreso a cuidados intensivos neonatales fueron: retención de líquido pulmonar (32.5%), enfermedad de membrana hialina (27.6%) y sepsis neonatal (10.3%). Las principales causas de ingreso a la unidad de terapia intermedia neonatal fueron: retención de líquido pulmonar (41%), hiperbilirrubinemia multifactorial (15.2%) e hiperbilirrubinemia por incompatibilidad de grupo (11.6%). La tasa de mortalidad neonatal fue de 2.7 por cada 1000 nacidos vivos, las principales causas de defunción fueron: enfermedad de membranas hialinas complicadas con sepsis neonatal y asfixia perinatal. CONCLUSIÓN: No se encontraron diferencias importantes en el hospital privado estudiado en comparación con otros estudios que valoran la morbilidad y mortalidad neonatal. La tasa de mortalidad en este hospital fue menor a la del país, pero la media de días en la unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales fue mayor y la tasa de prematuridad ligeramente mayor a la reportada en países desarrollados.


Abstract OBJECTIVE: To estimate the morbidity and mortality of live newborns born in a private hospital in Mexico, through admissions to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and the neonatal intermediate therapy unit (NITU). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A series of cases were carried out of the births of the Hospital Ángeles Lomas (State of Mexico) that have entered the NICU / NITU from 2016 to 2019. All live newborns older than 24 weeks were included. A descriptive analysis was performed calculating means, percentages and standard deviations. RESULTS: 4,234 newborns were registered, of which 13.7% were premature. 478 (11.3%) newborns were admitted to pathological nurseries, 203 to the NICU (4.8%) and 275 to the NITU (6.5%). The main causes of admission to the NICU were retention of pulmonary fluid (32.5%), hyaline membrane disease (27.6%), and neonatal sepsis (10.3%). The main causes of admission to the NITU were retention of pulmonary fluid (41%), multifactorial hyperbilirubinemia (15.2%) and hyperbilirubinemia due to group incompatibility (11.6%). The neonatal mortality rate was 2.7 out of 1000 live births, the main causes of death were hyaline membrane disease complicated by neonatal sepsis and perinatal asphyxia. CONCLUSION: No significant differences were found in the private hospital studied compared to other studies evaluating neonatal morbidity and mortality. The mortality rate in this hospital was lower than that registered countrywide, however the average number of days in the NICU was higher and the prematurity rate slightly higher than that reported in developed countries.

ABSTRACT

Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa baseada em narrativas produzidas por meio de entrevistas e oficinas. O estudo pretende demonstrar como profissionais de saúde de sete especialidades de uma UTI neonatal e pediátrica de um Hospital Público Municipal, no interior do Rio de Janeiro, identificam sinais de sofrimento no trabalho. Esses profissionais lidam com nascimento, dor e morte de crianças, mas não incluem essa experiência como parte integrante de seus cotidianos de trabalho. Aposta-se que o uso de narrativas seja um dispositivo capaz de incluir as dimensões da experiência dos quais tenta-se afastar, bem como produzir conhecimentos sobre a vida e a morte nos processos de trabalho.


This paper describes a qualitative research based on narratives collected by means of interviews and workshops. It aims to reveal in what way health professionals from seven specialties of a neonatal and pediatric ICU of a Municipal Public Hospital in the interior of Rio de Janeiro identify signs of suffering at work. These professionals deal with the birth, pain and death of children, but do not include this experience as an integral part into their daily work. We believe that the use of narratives is a device that allows to incorporate the dimensions of these denied experiences and to produce knowledge about life and death in work processes.


Cette recherche qualitative est basée sur des récits produits à travers d'entretiens et d'ateliers. L'étude a pour but de démontrer de quelle façon des professionnels de la santé de sept spécialités d'une unité de soins intensifs néonatals et pédiatriques d'un hôpital public municipal à l'intérieur de l'état de Rio de Janeiro identifient les signes de souffrance au travail. Ces professionnels sont confrontés à la naissance, la douleur et au décès d'enfants, mais ils n'incluent pas cette expérience dans leur travail quotidien. Nous concluons que la production de récits leur permet d'intégrer les dimensions de l'expérience desquelles ils essaient de se distancer, ainsi que de produire des connaissances sur la vie et la mort au travail.


Se trata de una investigación cualitativa basada en narrativas, producidas mediante encuestas y talleres. El estudio pretende demostrar de qué forma los profesionales de salud de siete especialidades de una UCI neonatal y pediátrica de un hospital público municipal, en el interior de Río de Janeiro, identifican señales de sufrimiento en el trabajo. Estos profesionales se enfrentan con el nacimiento, el dolor y la muerte de niños, pero no incluyen esta experiencia como parte integrante de su vida cotidiana de trabajo. Se apuesta a que el uso de narrativas sea un dispositivo capaz de incluir las dimensiones de la experiencia de las que intenta alejarse, así como producir conocimientos sobre la vida y la muerte en los procesos de trabajo.


Dieser Artikel beschreibt eine qualitative Studie, die auf Erzählungen basiert, die während Interviews und Workshops gesammelt wurden. Die Studie stellt dar, wie Gesundheitspersonal von sieben Fachgebieten einer neonatalen und pädiatrischen Intensivstation eines städtischen Krankenhauses im Inland des Staates von Rio de Janeiro Anzeichen von Leiden bei der Arbeit erkennen. Dieses Personal ist der Geburt, den Schmerzen und dem Tod von Kindern ausgesetzt, berücksichtigt diese Erfahrungen jedoch nicht als wesentlichen Bestandteil seiner täglichen Arbeit. Die Verwendung von Erzählungen ist hier ein Mittel, um die Dimensionen dieser Erfahrungen, die man zu vermeiden versucht, zu verarbeiten (Bruner, 1991) und Wissen über Leben und Tod anhand von Arbeitsprozessen zu produzieren.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the conduct related to feeding care through gastric tube in neonates hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, from scientific articles published in the last five years. Method: an integrative literature review was developed in the databases: MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, CINAHL and BDENF. The search for the studies was carried out in August 2016, in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Results: 33 articles were analyzed. The level of evidence was classified as level IV (30%), level VI (27%), level II (15%), level III (18%), level I, V and VII with 3% each. The analytical categories were: Gastric tubes, their materials and their use in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Nursing care for enteral nutrition through gastric tube in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, From the tube the oral route. The time to reach total enteral nutrition is lower, as is the decrease in length of hospital stay. The largest losses of milk fat are during gastroclysis at the expense of gavage. The relationship of food tolerance to dietary dosage form and volumes is not yet conclusive. Nursing stands out: in favor of the bond with the family, in the physical examination and evaluation, in the positioning, in the non-nutritive suction during the diet, in the oral stimulus, in the observation and conduct regarding the gastric residue. Conclusion: due to the heterogeneity of the data, more randomized and qualitative clinical trials are required to better support the conduct and improvement of nursing care.


RESUMEN Objetivo: describir las conductas relacionadas a los cuidados en la alimentación a través de la sonda gástrica en recién nacidos internados en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatal, a partir de artículos científicos publicados en los últimos cinco años. Método: se desarrolló una revisión integradora de la literatura en las bases de datos: MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, CINAHL y BDENF. La búsqueda por los estudios se realizó en el mes de agosto de 2016 en los idiomas inglés, español y portugués. Resultados: se analizaron 33 artículos. Respecto al nivel de evidencia, los artículos se clasificaron en nivel IV (30%), nivel VI (27%), nivel II (15%), nivel III (18%), nivel I, V y VII con 3% cada uno. Las categorías analíticas fueron: Sondas gástricas, sus materiales y su uso en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatal; Cuidados de enfermería referentes a la nutrición enteral a través de la sonda gástrica en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatal; De la sonda a la vía oral. El tiempo para alcanzar la nutrición enteral total es menor, así como ocurre con la disminución del tempo de internación. Las mayores pérdidas de grasa de la leche se dan durante a gastroclisis en detrimento de la alimentación forzada. La relación de la tolerancia alimentaria con la forma y los volúmenes de la dosis de la dieta todavía no son concluyentes. La enfermería se destaca en el favorecimiento del vínculo familiar, en el examen físico y la evaluación, en el posicionamiento, en la succión no nutritiva durante la dieta, en el estímulo oral, en la observación y la conducta respecto al residuo gástrico. Conclusión: debido a la neutrogeneidad de los datos, se hace más necesario llevar a cabo más estudios clínicos randomizados y cualitativos, para una mejor base en las conductas y una mejora de los cuidados de enfermería.


RESUMO Objetivo: descrever as condutas relacionadas a cuidados na alimentação através de sonda gástrica em recém-nascidos internados na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal, a partir de artigos científicos publicados nos últimos cinco anos. Método: desenvolveu-se uma revisão integrativa de literatura nas bases de dados: MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, CINAHL e BDENF. A busca pelos estudos foi realizada no mês de agosto de 2016 nos idiomas inglês, espanhol e português. Resultados: foram analisados 33 artigos. Quanto ao nível de evidência, os artigos foram classificados em nível IV (30%), nível VI (27%), nível II (15%), nível III (18%), nível I, V e VII com 3% cada. As categorias analíticas foram: Sondas gástricas, seus materiais e sua utilização na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal, Cuidados de enfermagem referentes à nutrição enteral através de sonda gástrica na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal, Da sonda para via oral. O tempo para alcançar a nutrição enteral total é menor, assim como ocorre a diminuição do tempo de internação. As maiores perdas de gordura do leite são durante a gastróclise em detrimento da gavagem. A relação da tolerância alimentar com a forma e os volumes da administração da dieta ainda não são conclusivos. A enfermagem se destaca: no favorecimento do vínculo com a família, no exame físico e avaliação, no posicionamento, na sucção não nutritiva durante a dieta, no estímulo oral, na observação e conduta quanto ao resíduo gástrico. Conclusão: devido à Heterogeneidade dos dados, mais estudos clínicos randomizados e qualitativos são necessários para melhor embasamento nas condutas e aprimoramento dos cuidados de enfermagem.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To describe the perceptions of nurses in neonatal units on pain management, meet the educational profile and describe the use of pain assessment tools and non-pharmacological management for treatment. METHODS: Cross-sectional descriptive multicentre study, developed during the months of February to September 2015, in the neonatology services of three hospitals at the Community of Madrid, Spain. Data collection was performed through an ad hoc questionnaire on paper or electronically using Survey Monkey platform. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 142 professionals, with a response rate of 55%: 47.9% (68) confirmed they had received specific training in pain management; 39.5% (56) stated that pain is regularly assessed in the unit; only 43.6% reported using validated scales, the most used being the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP). As for the non-pharmacological management, swaddling and non-nutritive sucking it is the most used, followed by sucrose. Intravenous cannulation was identified as the most painful procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Pain management is in the process of improvement, because of training and because there is little pain assessment using validated scales. The improvement in the use of non-pharmacological management for the relief of pain in minor procedures is noteworthy.

ABSTRACT

Considerando-se que as experiências não dolorosas também causam desequilíbrio em recém nascidos pré-termo (RNPT) e eventos físicos, psicológicos e sociais que resultam em reações excessivas e dificuldade de enfrentamento, são geradores de estresse, fazazendo-se necessário estudar as reações dos prematuros a essas situações não dolorosas e habituais em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN). O estudo teve como objetivo: Avaliar a reatividade do RNPT aos cuidados de rotina em uma UTIN. Trata-se de estudo observacional, descritivo, exploratório. A amostra foi constituída por 17 RNPT, internados na UTIN, de um hospital do interior paulista, cujas mães ou responsável aceitaram a participação dos mesmos na pesquisa. Após a aprovação pelos Comitês de Ética em Pesquisa iniciou-se a coleta de dados, sendo os dados de caracterizações maternas e neonatais coletados dos prontuários e os relacionados aos procedimentos de rotina (banho, cuidado agrupado para a higiene e conforto e exame físico médico) e reatividade dos RNPT, coletados a partir das filmagens para posterior análise. Os parâmetros fisiológicos (FC e SatO²) foram registrados minuto a minuto, durante os períodos: basal, manipulação e recuperação. A mímica facial, foi avaliada nos períodos: basal, recuperação 1 e 2 e as Atividades Corporais e Estados de Sono e vigília, nos períodos: basal, de manipulação e recuperação. Para as FC e SatO², foi utilizado o teste estatístico de Wilcoxon para comparar se houve variação significativa entre os períodos, com nível de significância de 5%. A reatividade comportamental dos RNPT foi avaliada através das proporções das atividades faciais e através da distribuição de frequência e de porcentagem dos estados de sono e vigília e movimentação corporal, possibilitando a descrição das mais frequentes em cada um dos períodos avaliados nos diferentes cuidados de rotina dos RNPT. No Banho as medianas das FC variaram entre os períodos: basal, manipulação e recuperação, sendo respectivamente de: 151,5, 152,9 e 149,2 bpm. Os valores medianos para a SatO² foram: 97,2% 98,1% e 97,9% na mesma sequência. Não houve diferença estatística entre os períodos avaliados para estas variáveis. No cuidado agrupado as medianas das FC variaram entre os períodos sendo: 159,1, 158 e 157,5 respectivamente. Houve diferença estatisticamente significante para a FC entre os períodos basal e de recuperação, com p<0,05 (0,047). Para a SatO², os valores medianos foram: 97%; 97% e 97,1% respectivamente. Não houve diferença estatística entre os períodos analisados para esta variável. No exame físico médico as medianas das FC variaram entre: 153,5, 153,8 e 153,8 bpm nos períodos. Os valores medianos para a SatO² foram: 98,4%, 98% e 97,8%, na mesma sequência. Não houve diferença estatística entre os períodos avaliados para estas variáveis. No banho os valores proporcionais medianos da mímica facial variaram entre: 16,7%, 20%, e zero respectivamente nos períodos basal, Recuperação 1 e 2. No cuidado agrupado os valores foram: zero, 20% e 10%. Zero, 2,5% e zero, foram os valores nos respectivos períodos no exame físico médico. Não houve muita variação na freqüência das atividades Corporais nem nas freqüências dos estados de Sono e Vigília entre os períodos avaliados nos diferentes cuidados avaliados, sendo que prevaleceram movimentos regulares, pequenos, relaxado (AC1) e o estado de sono ativo, exceto no período de manipulação no banho, que prevaleceu o choro. Embora as avaliações tenham se dado nos cuidados de rotina, houve presença de 5,9% de aspiração de VAS, considerada por alguns autores como um procedimento doloroso. Os resultados apontaram ainda o uso da sacarose em 3 (17,6%) cuidados agrupados para a higiene e conforto. Mostrase necessária a revisão da aplicação protocolo do uso dessa solução na instituição para que esta não seja oferecida indiscriminadamente em situações que não envolvam procedimentos dolorosos. Sinalizamos a necessidade de rever alguns procedimentos de rotina aplicados nos RNPT, visando à diminuição do estresse por eles vivenciado


Considering that non-painful experiences also cause imbalance in preterm newborns (PTNB) and that physical, psychological and social events which result in excessive reactions and difficulty in coping are also stressing factors for them, it is necessary to study the reactions of premature infants to these non-painful and habitual situations in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This study aimed to: evaluate the PTNB reactions to routine care in a NICU. This is an observational, descriptive, exploratory study. The sample consisted of 17 PTNB infants admitted to the NICU of a hospital in the interior of São Paulo, whose mothers or guardians accepted their participation in the study. This study was approved by Research Ethics Committees for data collection. Maternal and neonatal characterization data were collected from the medical records and those related to routine procedures (bathing, grouped care for hygiene and comfort, and medical physical examination) and PTNB reactions by filming for later analysis. Physiological parameters (HR and SatO2) were recorded minute by minute, during the periods: basal, manipulation and recovery. Facial mimetic was evaluated in the periods: basal, recovery 1 and 2 and body activities and asleep and awake states, in the periods: basal, manipulation and recovery. For HR and SatO2, the Wilcoxon statistical test was used to compare if there was a significant variation between the periods, with a significance level of 5%. The behavioral reactivity of the PTNBs was evaluated through the proportions of the facial activities and through the frequency and percentage distributions of the asleep and awake states and body movement. This procedure allowed the description of the most frequent behavioral reactivities in each of the periods evaluated in the different steps of routine care of the PTNBs. During bath, the HR medians varied between the periods: basal, manipulation and recovery, being respectively: 151.5, 152.9 and 149.2 bpm. The median values for SatO2 were: 97.2% 98.1% and 97.9% respectively. There was no statistical difference between the periods evaluated for these variables. In grouped care the median HR varied between the periods, as given: 159.1, 158 and 157.5 respectively. There was a statistically significant difference for HR between the basal and recovery periods, with p <0.05 (0.047). For SatO², the median values were: 97%; 97% and 97.1%, respectively. There was no statistical difference between the periods analyzed for this variable. For medical physical examination the median HR varied between: 153.5, 153.8 and 153.8 bpm in the mentioned periods. The median values for SatO² were: 98.4%, 98% and 97.8%, respectively. There was no statistical difference between the periods evaluated for these variables. During bath, the median values of facial mime ranged from: 16.7%, 20%, and zero respectively in the basal periods, recovery 1 and 2. In grouped care the values were: zero, 20% and 10%. Zero, 2.5% and zero, were the values considering the same periods in the medical physical examination. There was not statistically significant variation either in the frequency of body activities or in the frequencies of asleep and awake states between the periods established in the different caring types evaluated, prevailing regular, small, relaxed movements (AC1) and active asleep state, except in the manipulation during bath, for which crying prevailed. Although evaluations have taken place in routine care, there was a 5.9% of aspiration of VAS, considered by some authors as a painful procedure. The results also indicated the use of sucrose in 3 (17.6%) grouped care for hygiene and comfort. It is necessary to reevaluate the protocol for application of the use of this solution in the institution so that it is not offered indiscriminately in situations which do not involve painful procedures. We highlight the need to review some routine procedures applied to PTNBs, aiming to reduce the stress experienced by them

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O leite materno é o alimento ideal para qualquer recém-nascido devido à sua composição nutricional balanceada e à sua capacidade de gerar imunidade. Seu uso tem sido muito incentivado nas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) e Unidades Intermediárias (UI), sendo ofertados tanto o leite materno extraído diretamente do seio materno, quanto o proveniente de bancos de leite humano. Dessa forma, este estudo teve como propósito acompanhar e comparar recém-nascidos com e sem o uso de aditivo fortificante do leite materno, em UTI neonatal. O estudo foi observacional do tipo coorte, com grupo controle, realizado em uma maternidade pública, nas unidades de terapia intensiva e terapia intermediária neonatais. Foram acompanhados 26 recém-nascidos pré-termo, divididos em dois grupos, um deles constituído por 13 recém-nascidos em aleitamento materno exclusivo (grupo controle) e outro composto por 13 recém-nascidos em uso de leite materno, com aditivo fortificante. Para a análise de dados, foi utilizada estatística descritiva simples, calculando-se distribuições de frequências, cálculo das médias, desvio-padrão e realizações dos testes estatísticos. O ganho de peso médio no período do estudo foi significativamente maior no grupo que recebeu leite materno com aditivo. Em relação ao comprimento e ao perímetro cefálico não foram observadas diferenças estatísticas significativas entre os grupos. Constata-se que o uso de aditivo no leite materno humano cru ou processado proporciona melhor ganho de peso, favorecendo a recuperação do estado nutricional.


RESUMEN La leche materna es el alimento ideal para cualquier recién nacido debido a su composición nutricional balanceada y a su capacidad de generar inmunidad. Su uso ha sido muy fomentado en las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos y Unidades Intermediarias, siendo ofertadas, tanto la leche materna, extraída directamente del seno materno, como la proveniente de bancos de leche humana. El propósito del estudio fue el de acompañar y comparar a los recién nacidos con y sin el uso de aditivo fortificante de la leche materna, en UCI neonatal. Este estudio fue observacional del tipo cohorte, con grupo control, realizado en una maternidad pública, en las unidades de cuidados intensivos y cuidados intermediarios neonatales. Fueron acompañados 26 recién nacidos pretérmino, divididos en dos grupos, uno de ellos constituido por 13 recién nacidos en lactancia materna exclusiva (grupo control) y otro compuesto por 13 recién nacidos en uso de leche materna, añadido de aditivo fortificante. Para el análisis de datos fue utilizada estadística descriptiva simple calculando distribuciones de frecuencias, cálculo de los promedios, desviación típica y realizaciones de las pruebas estadísticas. El aumento de peso promedio en el período del estudio fue significativamente mayor en el grupo que recibió leche materna con aditivo. En relación a la longitud y al perímetro cefálico no fueron observadas diferencias estadísticas significativas entre los grupos. Se constata que el uso de aditivo en la leche materna humana cruda o procesada proporciona mejor aumento de peso, favoreciendo la recuperación del estado nutricional.


ABSTRACT Breast milk is the ideal food for any newborn regarding the balanced nutritional composition and its ability to generate immunity. Its use has been greatly encouraged in intensive care units and Intermediate Unit, both the milk extracted directly from the mother's womb, as the one from the milk bank. The purpose of the study was to monitor and to compare infants with and without use of breast milk fortifier in neonatal intensive care unit. It was an observational cohort study with a control group, performed in a public hospital, in intensive care units and neonatal intermediate unit. They were followed 26 preterm infants, divided into two groups consisting of 13 preterm infants in exclusively breastfed (control group) and 13 preterm infants in use of breast milk fortifier with additive added. The average weight gain was significantly higher in the group receiving breast milk containing additive. In relation to the length and head circumference, significant differences were not observed. For data analysis, we used simple descriptive statistics by calculating frequency distributions, calculation of averages, standard deviation and achievements of the statistical tests. The average weight gain during the study period was significantly higher in the group receiving breast milk with additives. Regarding the length and head circumference, statistical differences were not significant between groups. It appears that the additive used in raw or processed human breast milk provides better weight gain, facilitating recovery of nutritional status.

ABSTRACT

The objectives of this study are to analyse nursing interventions regarding noise and lighting that influence neurodevelopment of the preterm infant in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. A review of the literature was performed using the databases: Cuiden Plus, PubMed, IBECS and Cochrane Library Plus. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were established in accordance with the objectives and limits used in each database. Of the 35 articles used, most were descriptive quantitative studies based on the measurement of sound pressure levels and lighting in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units. The countries included in this study are Brazil and the United States, and the variables analysed were the recording the times of light and noise. Based on the high levels of light and noise recorded in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units, nursing interventions that should be carried out to reduce them are described. The evidence indicates that after the implementation of these interventions, the high levels of both environmental stimuli are reduced significantly. Despite the extensive literature published on this problem, the levels of light and noise continue to exceed the recommended limits. Therefore, nurses need to increase and enhance their efforts in this environment, in order to positively influence neurodevelopment of premature newborn.

ABSTRACT

La prematuridad es una problemática que se encuentra en aumento a nivel mundial. En Argentina 8 de cada 100 bebés nacen antes de tiempo, de ahí la importancia de sensibilizar a la población sobre este tema. Para la logoterapia la motivación básica y propia del ser humano es su orientación fundamental hacia el sentido, es decir, el encontrar y descubrir un porqué y para qué. Tener en cuenta la dimensión existencial de la persona es una forma de acercarnos al problema. Por tal motivo el objetivo del trabajo que se informa fue relacionar el sentido de vida develado por las madres de niños que se encuentran internados en Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatales (UCIN) debido a su nacimiento prematuro con dos factores; por un lado con la capacidad que ellas mismas refieren para informarse adecuadamente acerca de la situación de su hijo y por el otro, con su vinculación con situaciones límite vividas durante el embarazo. Se realizó un estudio experimental con 30 madres de niños prematuros que han pasado por una internación en UCIN en tres instituciones hospitalarias. Se construyó un instrumento con formato de entrevista semidirigida llamado Vivencia de Madres de Niños Nacidos Prematuramente. Los resultados demuestran que las madres con mayor capacidad para solicitar información sobre la situación de sus hijos son las que pudieron dar respuestas acerca de la pregunta sobre el sentido que esta situación les permitía descubrir. En un porcentaje menor pudieron relacionarse las respuestas con situaciones límites vividas con anterioridad.


Prematurity is a problem which is getting bigger worldwide. In eight out of one hundred babies are born before their due time, that is why it is necessary to make the population conscious of this issue. In relation to this figure it is necessary to work on raising public awareness about prematurity and integrate thus subject to the public health agenda. For Logotherapy the basic human motivation is its fundamental orientation meaning the same psychological school posits the existence of the tragic triad. Others have called extreme situations; these are death, guilt and suffering. These situations which by their nature are permanent, you cannot work to change them, they are imposed situations that leave no alternative but to live them, to suffer, to experience, even if you want to run. They are fighting ability, the potential and the true self. It is in these extreme situations that person forgets the surface world and struggle for existence. None of them can be avoided by humans. Taking into account the existential sphere of the person is a way of approaching the problem, therefore, the aim of this project is to relate the meaning of life shown by the mothers of those children who are hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) owing to their premature birth, with two factors. On the one hand, with the capability they themselves refer to of getting information properly about their child‘s situation and, on the other hand, with their connection with extreme situations experienced during their pregnancy. Our search is based on an experimental study of 30 premature babies’ mothers that have undergone a hospitalization in the NICU. Knowing this dimension of the person, is a contribution to the awareness of health personnel working with families that this type of situation is passing , it is also a starting point for a possible psychological treatment and a tool to strengthen the link between mother and infant. A tool was built, in the shape of a semi - addressed interview call ed premature babies mothers’ personal experiences with the aim of approaching the study properly. This model is based on five areas, beginning with formal details, then it enquires about the pregnancy, the labor, the hospitalization and the conclusions. It includes questions related to the meaning of life displayed in the hospitalization situation, the capability the person has to get informed properly about her baby’s situation, the relationship with doctors and nurses, contradictory feelings, among other items. Results show that the mothers with greater capability to ask for information about their children’s situation are the ones who could answer about the meaning this experience give them. The highest percentage of coincidence belongs to the group of moderate premature babies, decreasing progressively to the extreme premature ones. In a lower percentage we could relate the answers of meaning with extreme situations lived before. In some cases meaning, information and previous extreme situations are co-related. There are five areas in the mothers’ answers according to the meaning they get from the situation they lived. They are: learning, valuation, personal growth and acceptance of the situation they lived, beliefs and religion and general responses. The meaning of life allows us to open the doors for future studies in which we may be able to elaborate strategies of work with mothers and their children hospitalized in the NICU, considering the existential aspect of the person, above all supporting them in extreme situations and in the handling of information as a way of facing them.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Bacteremia associated to vascular catheters is the most frequent nosocomial infection in Neonatal Intensive Care Units and increases cost and mortality. Objective : To know the risk of bacteremia related to vascular devices in hospitalized newborns, stratified by birth weight. Method: A surveillance system was established considering birth weight and type of catheters in order to detect bacteremia and look for the risks associated to type of catheters and birth weight in the period 2005 to 2011, according to Chilean Ministry of Health’s surveillance. Results: We registered bacteremia associated to vascular devices in newborns considering birth weight between less than 1,000 g to more than 2,500 g from years 2005 and 2011. In the period, 4,704 patients were surveyed with 25,130 catheter days and 70 bacteremia were detected. The rates of bacteremia were 0.9 per 1,000 catheter days in peripheral catheters, 3.0 per 1000 catheter days in peripheral inserted central catheters and 9.6 per 1,000 catheter days in umbilical catheters (UC). On the other side the risk of bacteremia was 6.4% in newborns with birth weight less 1,000 g and 1.5% in newborns with birth weight over 2,500 g. Coagulase negative Staphylococcus was the most frequent isolate agents. Conclusions: The risk of developing bacteremia is associated with lower birth weight and the use of UC independent of weight.


Introducción: La bacteriemia asociada al uso de dispositivos intravasculares constituye la infección nosocomial más frecuente en las unidades de cuidado intensivo neonatal, asociándose a mayores costos y letalidad. Objetivo: Conocer el riesgo de bacteriemias relacionadas al uso de dispositivos intravasculares en recién nacidos hospitalizados, de acuerdo a su peso de nacimiento. Material y Métodos: Vigilancia epidemiológica de baeteriemia en neonatos con catéteres vasculares para asociarlos con los tipos de catéteres y el peso de nacimiento, durante el período 2005 a 2011, utilizando el sistema de vigilancia vigente en el país. Resultados: Se registraron las bacteriemias asociadas a dispositivos vasculares en neonatos considerando peso de nacimiento entre menos a 1.000 g a más de 2.500 g entre los años 2005 y 2011. Se vigilaron 4.704 pacientes con 25.130 días de uso de catéter y se detectaron 70 bacteriemias. La mayor utilización de la vía venosa fue por catéteres venosos periféricos. Las tasas de bacteriemias fueron de 0,9 por mil días catéter en venoso periférico, 3,0 en catéter central por vía percutánea y 9,6 en catéter umbilical (CU). El riesgo de bacteriemia fue de 6,4% en los neonatos de peso < 1.000 g y 1,5% en > 2.500 g. Staphylococcus coagulasa negativa fue el agente más frecuentemente aislado. Conclusiones: El riesgo de desarrollar bacteriemia se asoció a menor peso de nacimiento y a la utilización de CU en forma, independiente del peso.

ABSTRACT

O estudo investigou desfechos clínicos do primeiro ano de vida de prematuros egressos da Unidade de Terapia Neonatal (UTIN), a partir de dados da mortalidade, reinternação e do desenvolvimento motor destas crianças. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa de coorte retrospectiva. A amostra foi composta 170 de crianças, com idade gestacional menor que 37 semanas, que sobreviveram à internação na UTIN. Os dados foram coletados dos prontuários, do sistema informatizado do hospital e de entrevista telefônica com o responsável pela criança. Observou-se 100% de sobrevida no período estudado, 39,4% dos RN apresentaram reinternações hospitalares, frequentemente (26,5%) por afecções respiratórias. Quanto ao desenvolvimento, verificou-se que, utilizando-se a idade corrigida, foi considerado dentro do esperado. Ao término deste estudo, concluiu-se que os prematuros dos estudos apresentaram boa evolução clínica de observação proposta.


The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate clinical outcomes of the first year of life of premature infants discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) based on mortality and readmission data, and the motor development of the children. The sample consisted of 170 children with gestational age under 37 weeks and who survived hospitalization in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Data were collected from medical records, the hospital IT system and telephone interview with the caregiver. The authors found 100% survival during the study period and that 39.4% of the infants were often readmitted (26.5%) due to respiratory conditions. Their development was considered as expected, when using the corrected age. In conclusion, the premature infants from this study showed good clinical evolution of the proposed observation.

ABSTRACT

Recém-nascidos (RN) internados em unidades de cuidados intensivos recebem grande quantidade de transfusões de hemocomponentes, expondo-se a muitos doadores diferentes e a efeitos colaterais. Nosso objetivo foi diminuir a quantidade de hernocomponentes transfundidos e melhorar a qualidade dos mesmos. Comparamos quantidade e qualidade de transfusões realizadas em RN de tempo (RNT) e prematuros (RNPT) em 1997/98 as de transfusões realizadas no primeiro semestre de 96 (controle histórico). Propusemos critérios de indicação de transfusão e irradiação gama de concentrados de hemácias (CH) e plaquetas, diminuição do volume de amostras e utilização de gel-teste e bromelina nos testes pré-transfusionais. Diminuímos as repetições daipesquisas de anticorpos irregulares e testes de compatibilidade através de um programa de aliquotagem múltipla da mesma unidade. Utilizamos hemocomponentes leuco-reduzidos e conservados em solução aditiva. Houve redução no consumo geral de hemocomponentes, a mediana do númerode unidades transfundidas diminuiu de 3,Opara I, O @=O, 006); sobretudo ascustas de CH: de 2,O para 1, O (p=0,012). Houve redução na exposição dos RN: a mediana do número de doadores diferentes diminuiu de 3, O para 1,O porRN (p=0,002). Observamos melhora na sobrevida dos RN que receberam transfusão de mais de 5 unidades (p

Newborns in neonatal intensiue care unitsreceive a great number of blood transfusions, which exposes them to dqferent donors and physical, chemicals and biological risks. Our goal was to limit these risks through the reduction of blood transfusion and the improvement of its quality. The number and quality of blood transfusions made in newborns andpre-tem infants in 1997-98 were compared to those made on newbornsand pre-tem infants in thefirst half-year of 1996. Criteria for the indication of transfusion and gamma irradiation of blood products were proposed: packed red cells and platelet concentrates, the reduction of sample volume and the use ofpre-transfusion gel-tests with bromelin.We reduced repetition of irregular antibodies o screening and compatibility tests through a multiple aliquot program of the same blood product unit. We used leukocyte-reduced blood products with additive solution. There was general drop on the use of blood components: median drop from 3.0 to 1.0 (p=0.006), mainly of packed red cells: medianof drop in units from 2.0 to 1.0 (p=0.012). There was reduction of infants exposed to different donors: median of number of donors diminishedfrom 3.0 to 1.0 per newhorn (p=0.002). We observed increased survival rate of whom received more than 5 units (p<0.02). Rational use may be considered one of the factors that improved the survival rate, mainly that of those who received more than 5 units. Reduction of blood components' waste providing stock savings.
