ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: to map scientific production related to patient safety applications. Method: scoping review based on the method proposed by the JBI and the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews. The search took place between February and March 2022 in six databases, gray literature and intellectual property registration offices. The review was conducted by peers. Results: a total of 28 studies were analyzed. The international goals most often covered by the software were the prevention of medication errors, safe surgery and efficient communication. The applications used different operating systems and mostly described the process of content selection and software architecture. The evaluation system used usability scales, before and after tests and clinical trials. Conclusion: the construction of healthcare applications, especially those aimed at implementing patient safety targets, is a broad field to be explored. It is necessary to strengthen the quality of the information offered and the involvement of a multi-professional team in its development. There are gaps in the methodological designs and a lack of legislation regulating aspects related to the quality and veracity of the information provided by the software. Research protocol registered in the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/8b9pz/)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe, with a larger number of patients in a real-world scenario following routine implementation, intensivist-led ultrasound-guided percutaneous dilational tracheostomy and the possible risks and complications of the procedure not identified in clinical trials. Methods: This was a phase IV cohort study of patients admitted to three intensive care units of a quaternary academic hospital who underwent intensivist-led ultrasound-guided percutaneous tracheostomy in Brazil from September 2017 to December 2021. Results: There were 4,810 intensive care unit admissions during the study period; 2,084 patients received mechanical ventilation, and 287 underwent tracheostomy, 227 of which were performed at bedside by the intensive care team. The main reason for intensive care unit admission was trauma, and for perform a tracheostomy it was a neurological impairment or an inability to protect the airways. The median time from intubation to tracheostomy was 14 days. Intensive care residents performed 76% of the procedures. At least one complication occurred in 29.5% of the procedures, the most common being hemodynamic instability and extubation during the procedure, with only 3 serious complications. The intensive care unit mortality was 29.1%, and the hospital mortality was 43.6%. Conclusion: Intensivist-led ultrasound-guided percutaneous tracheostomy is feasible out of a clinical trial context with outcomes and complications comparable to those in the literature. Intensivists can acquire this competence during their training but should be aware of potential complications to enhance procedural safety.


RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever, com um número maior de pacientes em um cenário do mundo real após a implementação rotineira, a traqueostomia percutânea guiada por ultrassom conduzida por intensivistas e os possíveis riscos e complicações do procedimento não identificados em estudos clínicos. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo de coorte de fase IV de pacientes internados em três unidades de terapia intensiva de um hospital acadêmico quaternário que foram submetidos a traqueostomia percutânea guiada por ultrassom conduzida por intensivistas no Brasil de setembro de 2017 a dezembro de 2021. Resultados: Entre as 4.810 admissões na unidade de terapia intensiva durante o período do estudo, 2.084 pacientes receberam ventilação mecânica, e 287 foram submetidos a traqueostomia, 227 das quais foram realizadas à beira do leito pela equipe de terapia intensiva. O principal motivo para a admissão na unidade de terapia intensiva foi trauma, e para a realização de uma traqueostomia foi comprometimento neurológico ou incapacidade de proteger as vias aéreas. O tempo médio entre a intubação e a traqueostomia foi de 14 dias. Residentes de terapia intensiva realizaram 76% dos procedimentos. Ao menos uma complicação ocorreu em 29,5% dos procedimentos, sendo instabilidade hemodinâmica e extubação durante o procedimento as complicações mais comuns, com apenas três complicações graves. A mortalidade na unidade de terapia intensiva foi de 29,1%, e a mortalidade hospitalar foi de 43,6%. Conclusão: A traqueostomia percutânea guiada por ultrassom conduzida por intensivistas é viável fora do contexto de um estudo clínico com resultados e complicações comparáveis aos da literatura. Os intensivistas podem adquirir essa competência durante seu treinamento, mas devem estar cientes das possíveis complicações para aumentar a segurança do procedimento.

ABSTRACT

En un esfuerzo por estandarizar el manejo perioperatorio y mejorar los resultados posoperatorios de los pacientes adultos sometidos a cirugía, el Ministerio de Sanidad, a través del Grupo Español de Rehabilitación Multimodal (GERM) y el Instituto Aragonés de Ciencias de la Salud, en colaboración con diversas sociedades científicas españolas, y sobre la base de la evidencia disponible, publicó en 2021 la guía Recuperación intensificada en cirugía del adulto (RICA). Dicho documento incluye 12 medidas perioperatorias relacionadas con la fluidoterapia y la monitorización hemodinámica. La administración de fluidos y la monitorización hemodinámica no son sencillas, pero están directamente relacionadas con los resultados de los pacientes. El Subcomité de Fluidoterapia y monitorización hemodinámica de la Sección de Hemostasia, Medicina transfusional y Fluidoterapia (SHTF) de la Sociedad Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación (SEDAR) ha analizado dichas recomendaciones, concluyendo que deberían ser revisadas, ya que no siguen la metodología adecuada.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La inconsistencia en el diseño e implementación de los programas de cuidados perioperatorios limita su universalización, y es aquí donde las tecnologías en salud pueden estandarizar estos procesos. El objetivo del estudio es crear una app para smartphone con un programa de cuidados perioperatorios, implementarla en un grupo de pacientes programados para un procedimiento quirúrgico torácico y evaluar su utilización. Métodos: Estudio prospectivo y descriptivo. Se creó una app (Fissios App) que contiene 40 recomendaciones perioperatorias y un programa de 10 ejercicios de fisioterapia respiratoria. A los pacientes se les recomendó utilizarla antes y después de la cirugía; para medir su utilización se creó y se aplicó un cuestionario. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de las variables de los pacientes, las respuestas del cuestionario y se evaluó su asociación. Resultados: Se incluyeron 131 pacientes, el 60,3% eran varones con una mediana de edad de 62 años (51-71), y el 26,72% habían completado estudios secundarios. El 89,3% resaltaron la facilidad para descargar y configurar la app. Más del 90% de los pacientes valoraron positivamente la claridad para explicar los ejercicios respiratorios y las recomendaciones perioperatorias. Ciento cuatro (79,4%) pacientes destacaron la contribución del uso de la app para afrontar el postoperatorio. Conclusiones: Se creó una app (Fissios App) con un programa de cuidados perioperatorios y se implementó satisfactoriamente sin importar la edad ni el nivel educativo de los pacientes. La herramienta explica claramente la información contenida, y su uso antes de la cirugía les ayudó a afrontar el postoperatorio, con un nivel adecuado de exigencia física y de tiempo de uso. (AU)


Introduction: The design and implementation inconsistency of perioperative care programs limits their universalization, and it is where e-Health can standardize these processes. The objective of the study is to create a Smartphone app with a perioperative care program, implement it in a group of patients scheduled for a thoracic surgical procedure, and evaluates its use. Methods: A prospective and descriptive study. We created a Smartphone app (Fissios App) which contains 40 perioperative recommendations and 10 chest physical exercises. Patients were recommended to use it before and after surgery; to measure its use, we created and applied a questionnaire. A descriptive analysis of patient variables and questionnaire responses was performed and their association evaluated. Results: One hundred fourpatients were included, the 60.3% were men with a median age of 62 years (51-71), and 26.72% had completed high school. The 89.3% of patients highlighted the ease of downloading and setting up the app. More than 90% of patients positively assessed clarity in explaining chest physical exercises and perioperative recommendations. One hundred four (79.4%) patients highlighted the contribution of the use of the app during the preoperative period to face the postoperative period. Conclusions: We created a Smartphone app (Fissios App) with a perioperative care program and it was successfully implemented regardless of the age or educational level of patients. The tool clearly explains the information contained and the patients reported that its use before surgery helped them to face the postoperative period, with an appropriate level of physical demand and time of use.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention among gynecologists about recommendations of the Total Acceleration of Postoperative Recovery (ACERTO, in the Portuguese acronym) project derived from the solid foundations of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines to optimize hospital care for surgical-gynecological patients. Methods Educational intervention through monthly 1-hour long meetings (3 months), with the application of an objective questionnaire about specific knowledge of the ACERTO project between before and after educational intervention phases, for gynecologists, after approval by the ethics committee and signature of informed consent by participants, in a federal university hospital. Results Among the 25 gynecologists who agreed to participate, the educational intervention could be effective with a statistically significant difference between the phases before and after the intervention for the main recommendations of the ACERTO project, such as abbreviation of preoperative fasting (p = 0.006), venous thromboembolism prophylaxis (p = 0.024), knowledge and replication of ACERTO (p = 0.034), and multimodal analgesia (p = 0.021). Conclusion An educational intervention, through clinical meetings with exposition and discussion of the recommendations of the ACERTO project based on the ERAS protocol can be effective for the knowledge and possibility of practical application of the main measures, such as abbreviation of preoperative fasting, multimodal analgesia, and prophylaxis of thrombosis among gynecologists.


Resumo Objetivo Avaliar a efetividade de uma intervenção educativa entre ginecologistas de um hospital universitário a fim de capacitar o conhecimento científico das recomendações do projeto Aceleração da Recuperação Total Pós-operatória ACERTO, derivado das bases sólidas do protocolo Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) para otimizar a assistência hospitalar de pacientes cirúrgico-ginecológicas. Métodos Intervenção educativa por meio de reuniões mensais por 3 meses, com duração de 1 hora, com aplicação de questionário objetivo com questões de conhecimentos específicos do projeto ACERTO com fases antes e depois da intervenção, para profissionais ginecologistas, após aprovação do comitê de ética em pesquisas (CEP) e assinatura do termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido (TCLE) pelos participantes. Resultados Dentre os 25 ginecologistas que aceitaram participar, a intervenção educativa se mostrou eficaz com diferença estatisticamente significante entre as fases antes e depois da intervenção para as principais recomendações do projeto ACERTO, como abreviação de jejum pré-operatório (p = 0.006), profilaxia de tromboembolismo venoso (p = 0.024), conhecimento e replicação do conhecimento do ACERTO (p = 0.006) e analgesia multimodal (p = 0.006). Conclusão Uma intervenção educativa, por meio de reuniões clínicas com exposição e discussão das recomendações do projeto ACERTO baseadas em evidências e derivadas do ERAS é eficaz para o conhecimento e possibilidade de aplicação prática de medidas como abreviação de jejum pré-operatório, analgesia multimodal e profilaxia de trombose entre ginecologistas.

Objetivo: Describir los resultados obtenidos luego de 2 años de implementación del protocolo STAR en estadía hospitalaria, complicaciones y reingresos. Objetivo secundario describir adherencia al protocolo. Material y Método: Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo no concurrente, en cirugía colorrectal electiva. Enero-diciembre 2016 manejo no protocolizado (grupo no-STAR), agosto 2018 a julio 2020 manejo protocolo STAR (grupo STAR). Registro de variables demográficas, adherencias, complicaciones y reingreso. Se utilizaron variables continuas (cuartiles, promedio y DE), test t-Student, test de Wilcoxon, variables categóricas (frecuencias y porcentajes), test de Fisher y Propensisty Score (PS). Resultados: 239 pacientes; grupo no-STAR 85 pacientes (35,5%), grupo STAR 154 (64,5%), sexo masculino 111 pacientes (43 no-STAR p = 0,347). Promedio edad no-STAR 64,2 (SD 14,7) vs. STAR 66,3 (SD 14,39) (p = 0,3147). Mediana de estadía no-STAR 5 días (promedio 6,9, SD 6,2) y STAR 3 días (promedio 4,8 días, SD 4,4). No-STAR tuvo 22 complicaciones (25,9%) vs 28 STAR (18,2%) p = 0,185. No-STAR 7 reingresos vs 17 STAR (p = 0,654). Análisis de covarianza días de hospitalización ajustado por sexo, edad y cirugía laparoscópica, grupo STAR produce 1,93 días menos de hospitalización (p = 0,005) y PS disminuye en 1,92 días la estadía hospitalaria (p-value = 0,007). Discusión y Conclusión: La implementación de un protocolo de recuperación avanzada logra la reducción de 2 días en la estadía hospitalaria de los pacientes sometidos a una cirugía colorrectal, sin aumentar complicaciones, mortalidad ni reingresos.


Introduction: >Enhanced recovery after Surgery (ERAS) or STAR are the tools that have proven to be more effective in perioperative management. Objective: Primary objective is to describe the results obtained regarding complications, hospital stay and readmissions after 2 years of implementation of the STAR. Secondary objective is to describe protocol adherence. Materials and Method: Non-concurrent retrospective cohort study, in patients with elective colorectal surgery. From January to December 2016 non-protocolized management (non-STAR group), August 2018 to July 2020 STAR protocol management (STAR group). Registration of data like the demographic variables, adherence to protocol, complications and readmissions. Continuous variables (quartiles, mean and SD), t-Student test, Wilcoxon test, categorical variables (frequencies and percentages), Fisher test and propensity score (PS) were used. Results: 239 patients; non-STAR group 85 patients (35.5%), STAR group 154 (64.5%), male 111 patients (43 non-STAR p = 0.347). Average age non-STAR 64.2 (SD 14.7) vs STAR 66.3 (SD 14.39) (p = 0.3147). Median non-STAR stays 5 days (average 6.9, SD 6.2) and for STAR 3 days (average 4.8 days, SD 4.4). Non-STAR had 22 complications (25.9%) vs 28 STAR (18.2%) p = 0.185. No-STAR 7 hospital readmissions vs 17 STAR (p = 0.654). Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) for hospitalization days adjusted by gender, age and laparoscopic surgery shows 1.93 less hospitalization days (p = 0.005); Propensity Score (PS) shows reduced hospital stay in 1.92 days (p-value = 0.007). Discussion and Conclusión: The implementation of an advanced recovery protocol achieves a reduction of 2 days in the hospital stay of patients undergoing colorectal surgery, without increasing complications, mortality or readmissions.

ABSTRACT

Adults patients with congenital heart disease increasingly present for non cardiac surgery. The anesthetic management this type of patients in neurosurgery requires a meticulous surgical anesthetic planning. The need for urgent intervention, with the presence of a congenital heart disease evolved to Eisenmenger syndrome, associated to a difficult airway, is a challenge for the anesthesiologist. The use of dexmedetomidine may be a valid alternative. We present the case of a patient with Down syndrome, and Eisenmenger syndrome who underwent drainage of brain abscess from the emergency department and was subsequently scheduled for reintervention. We compare the different anesthetic techniques used in both procedures, analyzing the implications they had on the main physiopathological alterations presented by the patient.

ABSTRACT

El número de pacientes con patología cardíaca congénita que se intervienen de cirugía no cardíaca está en aumento. El manejo de este tipo de pacientes en neurocirugía requiere de una planificación anestésico-quirúrgica minuciosa. La necesidad de intervención urgente junto con la presencia de una cardiopatía congénita evolucionada a síndrome de Eisenmenger, asociadas a una vía aérea difícil, van a suponer un reto para el anestesiólogo. La utilización de dexmedetomidina puede ser una alternativa. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con síndrome de Down y síndrome de Eisenmenger que fue sometida a un drenaje de absceso cerebral de urgencias siendo posteriormente reintervenida de forma programada. Se comparan las diferentes técnicas anestésicas empleadas en ambos procedimientos, analizando las implicaciones que tuvieron sobre las principales alteraciones fisiopatológicas que presentaba la paciente.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objective: to identify the leadership perceived by perioperative nurses and to determine the role of leadership predictors of patient safety in the operating room. Method: descriptive and explanatory study in a sample of 1,001 nurses, using the patient safety questionnaire in the operating room and Quinn's leadership instrument adapted to health. The IBM SPSS Statistics application, version 25.0, was used in the data processing. Result: all leadership dimensions were higher than the midpoint of the scale (M>4). A minimum value was observed in the role of Innovator (M=4.63) and maximum in the Producer (M=5.04). The regression models allowed pointing out that leadership roles are predictors of patient safety in the operating room, especially the roles Monitor, Producer and Facilitator. Conclusion: perioperative nurses have moderately positive perception of leadership exercise, indicating the need to promote the development of different leadership roles exercised by perioperative management nurses.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El protocolo de recuperación optimizada Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) en cirugía colo rrectal promueve un retorno más rápido a la función orgánica siguiendo la evidencia de las últimas investigaciones dirigidas a disminuir el estrés quirúrgico. La vía perioperatoria recomendada está per feccionada, es dinámica y se ajusta a las últimas investigaciones basadas en la evidencia para mejorar todos los aspectos de la atención quirúrgica del paciente. En este artículo describiremos los cuatro aspectos de un paciente a quien se le realizará una cirugía colorrectal: preadmisión, preoperatorio, in traoperatorio y posoperatorio El tema recurrente es disminuir el estrés fisiológico general relacionado con la cirugía; para ello, las intervenciones se superponen a lo largo del recorrido que hace el paciente. Utilizando un enfoque multidisciplinario, la adherencia al protocolo ERAS® en cirugía colorrectal cum pliendo con el 70% o más de las intervenciones de ERAS® ha demostrado una reducción del riesgo de muerte relacionada con el cáncer del 42% a los 5 años. Las intervenciones óptimas no solo se determi nan mediante la publicación de investigaciones de alta calidad, sino que la colaboración internacional periódica permite compartir experiencias e investigaciones y estandarizar los cuidados.


ABSTRACT Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) in colorectal surgery is a protocol that promotes quicker return to function. It follows the latest evidence-based research to promote stress reduction related to surgery. The recommended perioperative pathway is fine-tuned, dynamic and in line with the latest evidence-based research to enhance all aspects of the patient's surgical care. We describe the four aspects for a patient undergoing colorectal surgery - pre-admission, pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative. The running theme is to reduce overall physiological stress related to surgery and interventions overlap throughout the patient's pathway. Using a multidisciplinary approach, adheren ce to ERAS® in colorectal surgery with ≥70 % compliance to the ERAS interventions has shown a risk reduction of 5-year cancer-related death by 42%. The optimum interventions are not only determined through the publication of high-quality research, but regular international collaboration enables expe rience and research to be shared and care standardized.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) constituye una forma de trabajo que implica la puesta en marcha de medidas de cuidado antes, durante y después de una cirugía con el propósito de mejorar la experiencia del paciente a lo largo del periodo perioperatorio. Sin embargo, la aplicación aislada de medidas determinadas no es suficiente. Esta forma de trabajo requiere la creación de un equipo de trabajo multidisciplinario, el registro sistemático de datos y su utilización para aplicar un ciclo de mejora continua. En el Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, se han registrado 1331 pacientes desde no viembre del año 2015. La mediana de internación fue de 4 días y la readmisión de 7,3%. La adherencia global a las medidas del programa fue del 56% (preoperatorio 88%, intraoperatorio 60%, postopera torio 39%). En los procedimientos quirúrgicos más frecuentes pudimos observar una relación lineal e inversamente proporcional entre adherencia al programa y el tiempo de internación, con una dismi nución promedio de un día de internación por cada 10% de adherencia al programa en los procedi mientos quirúrgicos más frecuentes. A pesar de estos resultados, hemos encontrado dificultades en el sistema de registro de datos que limitan la aplicación del ciclo de mejora continua. La conformación de un equipo multidisciplinario, con una comunicación fluida y eficiente es fundamental para la imple mentación de un programa ERAS® que sea capaz de disminuir el tiempo de internación, la morbilidad y el índice de readmisión.


ABSTRACT Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a model of care that involves the implementation of care pathways before, during and after surgery designed to improve patient's experience throughout the perioperative period. Yet, the implementation of individual ERAS protocol elements is not sufficient. This approach requires the creation of a multidisciplinary work team, systematic recording of data and the use of the information recorded to implement a cycle of continuous improvement. Since 2015, 1331 patients have been recorded by Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires. Median length of hospital stay was 4 days and median readmission rate was 7.3%. The overall adherence to the protocol elements was 56% (88% in the preoperative period, 60% in the intraoperative period and 39% in the postope rative period) There was a linear and inverse correlation between the adherence to the program and length of hospitalization for the most common surgical procedures, with an average decrease of one day of hospitalization for each 10% increase in adherence with the program for the most common sur gical procedures. Despite these results, we have encountered difficulties in the data recording systems limiting the implementation of the cycle of continuous improvement. The creation of a multidiscipli nary team, with fluent and efficient communication, is essential for the implementation of an ERAS® program capable of reducing length of hospital stay, morbidity and readmission rates.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectiv:e to analyze the relationship of anxiety and depression in the preoperative period with the presence of pain in the postoperative period. Method: cohort study conducted at a university hospital in the state of Minas Gerais (Brazil), between february and July 2017, with 65 patients. A collection instrument was elaborated for the demographic and clinical characteristics. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess anxiety and depression; pain intensity was measured using the Verbal Numerical Scale. Data were submitted to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Results: according to demographic and clinical characteristics, most patients were female, with a median age of 44 years and surgical specialty of the digestive tract. In the preoperative period, 31 (47.7%) had anxiety, and nine (13.8%), depression. None of the patients reported pain immediately prior to surgery. The incidence of moderate to severe postoperative pain was 32 (49.2%) patients. There was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of patients with postoperative pain in relation to the presence or absence of preoperative anxiety (p value <0.001). There is no statistically significant difference in the distribution of patients with postoperative pain in relation to the presence or absence of preoperative depression (0.733). In multivariate analysis, preoperative anxiety was a predictive factor for postoperative pain. Depression was not a predictive factor of postoperative pain. Conclusion: It was demonstrated that, regardless of the demographic and clinical characteristics of the studied sample, the presence of anxiety in patients in the preoperative period is a predictive factor of postoperative pain.


RESUMEN Objetivo: analizar la relación de la ansiedad y la depresión en el período pre-operatorio con la presencia del dolor pre-operatorio. Método: estudio realizado en un hospital universitario en el estado de Minas Gerais (Brasil), entre febrero y julio de 2017, con 65 pacientes. Se elaboró un instrumento de recolección para las características demográficas y clínicas. A Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale se utilizó para evaluar la ansiedad y la depresión; La intensidad del dolor se midió utilizando la Escala Numérica Verbal. Los datos fueron sometidos a análisis estadístico descriptivo e inferencial. Resultados: según las características demográficas y clínicas, la mayoría de los pacientes eran mujeres, con una edad media de 44 años y especialidad quirúrgica del tracto digestivo. En el período pre-operatorio, 31 (47.7%) tenían ansiedad y nueve (13.8%), depresión. Ninguno de los pacientes informó dolor inmediatamente antes de la cirugía. La incidencia de dolor pos-operatorio moderado a intenso fue de 32 (49,2%) pacientes. Hubo una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en la distribución de pacientes con dolor pos-operatorio en relación con la presencia o ausencia de ansiedad pre-operatoria (valor de p <0,001). No existe una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en la distribución de pacientes con dolor pos-operatorio en relación con la presencia o ausencia de depresión pre-operatoria (0.733). En el análisis multivariable, la ansiedad pre-operatoria fue un factor predictivo para el dolor pos-operatorio. La depresión no fue un predictor de dolor pos-operatorio. Conclusión: se demostró que, independientemente de las características demográficas y clínicas de la muestra estudiada, la presencia de ansiedad en pacientes en el período pre-operatorio es un factor predictivo de dolor pos-operatorio.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Several interventional cardiology procedures are required in neonates with congenital heart disease. Interventional cardiology procedures have a higher risk of cardiac arrest compared to other interventions. At present, there is great heterogeneity in the perioperative management of congenital heart disease neonates undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization or therapeutic cardiac catheterization. STUDY OBJECTIVES: Primary aim: Provide a systematic review of the most effective and/or safe anesthetic and perioperative management in neonates with congenital heart disease who undergo diagnostic cardiac catheterization or therapeutic cardiac catheterization. Secondary aim: Identify the medications, monitoring parameters and airway management used in the same population. DESIGN: Systematic literature review. SETTING: Catheterization laboratory. METHODS: Literature was searched (December 2017) in electronic databases Medline, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, BIREME-Lilacs-Biblioteca Virtual de la Salud, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects and Health Technology Assessment Database. MAIN RESULTS: From 130 records identified, four studies met inclusion criteria and quality assessment. None of the studies were relevant to the primary objective. Regarding the secondary objectives, one study compared the efficacy and adverse effects of racemic ketamine and its S(+) ketamine enantiomer, one study reported the efficacy of subarachnoid anesthesia for high-risk children undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization, one study identified the factors associated to high severity adverse events related to sedation, anesthesia and airway, and one study retrospectively analyzed cardiac catheterization procedures in neonates weighing less than 2.5 kg. CONCLUSION: There are no evidence-based recommendations available for congenital heart disease neonates undergoing cardiac catheterization. More studies are required to evaluate the ideal anesthetic and perioperative management in this population.

Resumo Introdução: Vários procedimentos de cardiologia intervencionista são necessários em neonatos com doença cardíaca congênita. Os procedimentos de cardiologia intervencionista têm um risco maior de parada cardíaca em comparação com outras intervenções. Atualmente, há grande heterogeneidade no manejo perioperatório de neonatos com doença cardíaca congênita submetidos a cateterismo cardíaco diagnóstico ou cateterismo cardíaco terapêutico. Objetivo: Objetivo principal: fornecer uma revisão sistemática do manejo anestésico e perioperatório mais efetivo e/ou seguro em neonatos com doença cardíaca congênita submetidos à cateterismo cardíaco diagnóstico ou cateterismo cardíaco terapêutico. Objetivo secundário: Identificar os medicamentos usados, parâmetros monitorizados e manejo das vias aéreas utilizado na população estudada. Desenho: Revisão sistemática da literatura. Local: Laboratório de hemodinâmica e cateterismo cardíaco. Método: Foi realizada busca na literatura (Dezembro de 2017) nos seguintes bancos de dados eletrônicos: Medline, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, BIREME-Lilacs-Biblioteca Virtual de la Salud, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects e Health Technology Assessment Database. Resultados principais: Dos 130 registros identificados, quatro estudos obedeceram aos critérios de inclusão e de avaliação de qualidade. Nenhum dos estudos foi relevante para o objetivo principal. Em relação aos objetivos secundários, um estudo comparou a eficácia e os efeitos adversos da cetamina racêmica e seu enantiômero S(+) cetamina, um estudo relatou a eficácia da anestesia subaracnóidea em crianças de alto risco submetidas ao cateterismo cardíaco diagnóstico, um estudo identificou os fatores associados à maior gravidade de eventos adversos relacionados à sedação, anestesia e vias aéreas, e um estudo analisou retrospectivamente os procedimentos de cateterismo cardíaco em neonatos com peso inferior a 2,5 kg. Conclusão: Não há recomendações com base em evidências disponíveis para neonatos com doença cardíaca congênita submetidos a cateterismo cardíaco. Mais estudos são necessários para avaliar o manejo anestésico e perioperatório ideal nessa população.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraoperative chemotherapy (HITHOC) is a therapeutic option for treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma. Anesthetic management might be challenging. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A descriptive analysis of a case series is presented. Seven patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma diagnostic undergoing HITHOC surgery were studied. Combined general and epidural anesthesia were administered. An intensive hemodynamic monitorization was implemented. Data regarding perioperative course was analyzed. RESULTS: Between May 2015 and October 2018 7patients underwent HITHOC procedure. Blood transfusions were administered in all patients, and 5of the 7patients required vasoactive drug administration. Extubation at the end of the procedure was able in 6of the 7patients. The median length of stay in ICU was 4 days, and 29 days for the whole hospitalary stay. No significant postoperative pain was observed. CONCLUSIONS: HITHOC surgery is a complex procedure in which several hemodynamic changes occur. An intensive intraoperative monitorization was useful for controlling complications.
