Causas Múltiplas de Morte Associadas à Parada Cardiorrespiratória Pediátrica de 1996 a 2019 no Brasil / Multiple Causes of Death Associated with Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Arrest from 1996 to 2019 in Brazil

Resumo Fundamento: Em pediatria, a parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR) está associada a alta mortalidade e graves sequelas neurológicas. Informações sobre as causas e mecanismos de morte abaixo de 20 anos poderiam fornecer subsídios teóricos para a melhoria da saúde de crianças e adolescentes. Objetivos: Realizar uma análise populacional das taxas de mortalidade por causas primárias e múltiplas de morte abaixo de 20 anos, em ambos os sexos, no período de 1996 a 2019, no Brasil, e identificar a frequência com que a PCR foi registrada nas declarações de óbito (DOs) desses indivíduos e os locais de ocorrência dos óbitos, a fim de promover estratégias para melhorar a prevenção de mortes. Método: Estudo ecológico de séries temporais de óbitos em indivíduos menores de 20 anos, no período de 1996 a 2019, avaliando as taxas de mortalidade (TMs) e a mortalidade proporcional (MP) por causa básica de morte. Foram analisados os percentuais de PCR registrados em qualquer linha da DO e o local de ocorrência dos óbitos. Foram calculadas as TMs por 100 mil habitantes e a MP por causa básica de morte nos menores de 20 anos segundo sexo e faixa etária, os percentuais de óbito por causas básicas por faixa etária quando a PCR foi descrita em qualquer linha das Partes I e II da DO, e o percentual de óbitos por causas básicas segundo o local de ocorrência. Os dados foram retirados do DATASUS, IBGE e SINASC. Resultados: De 1996 a 2019, ocorreram 2.151.716 óbitos de menores de 20 anos, no Brasil, gerando uma taxa de mortalidade de 134,38 por 100 mil habitantes. A taxa de óbito foi maior entre os recém-nascidos do sexo masculino. Do total de óbitos, 249.334 (11,6%) tiveram PCR registrada em qualquer linha da DO. Especificamente, a PCR foi registrada 49.178 vezes na DO na faixa etária entre 1 e 4 anos e em 88.116 vezes entre 29 e 365 dias, correspondendo, respectivamente, a 26% e 22% dos óbitos nessas faixas etárias. Essas duas faixas etárias apresentaram as maiores taxas de PCR registradas em qualquer linha da DO. As principais causas básicas de óbito quando a PCR foi registrada na sequência de óbitos foram doenças respiratórias, hematológicas e neoplásicas. Conclusão: As causas perinatais e externas foram as principais causas de morte, com maior TM nos menores de 20 anos no Brasil de 1996 a 2019. Quando consideradas as causas múltiplas de morte, as principais causas primárias associadas à PCR foram as doenças respiratórias, hematológicas e neoplásicas. A maioria dos óbitos ocorreu no ambiente hospitalar. Melhor compreensão da sequência de eventos nesses óbitos e melhorias nas estratégias de ensino em ressuscitação cardiopulmonar pediátrica são necessárias.

Abstract Background: In pediatrics, cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) is associated with high mortality and severe neurologic sequelae. Information on the causes and mechanisms of death below the age of 20 years could provide theoretical support for health improvement among children and adolescents. Objectives: To conduct a population analysis of mortality rates due to primary and multiple causes of death below the age of 20 years in both sexes from 1996 to 2019 in Brazil, and identify the frequency in which CPA was recorded in the death certificates (DCs) of these individuals and the locations where the deaths occurred, in order to promote strategies to improve the prevention of deaths. Method: Ecological time-series study of deaths below the age of 20 years from 1996 to 2019, evaluating the mortality rates (MRs) and proportional mortality (PM) by primary cause of death. We analyzed the percentages of CPA recorded in any line of the DC and the location where the deaths occurred. We calculated the MRs per 100,000 inhabitants and the PM by primary cause of death under the age of 20 years according to sex and age group, the percentages of death from primary causes by age group when CPA was described in any line of Parts I and II of the DC, and the percentage of deaths from primary causes according to their location of occurrence. We retrieved the data from DATASUS, IBGE, and SINASC. Results: From 1996 to 2019, there were 2,151,716 deaths below the age of 20 years in Brazil, yielding a mortality rate of 134.38 per 100,000 inhabitants. The death rate was highest among male neonates. Of all deaths, 249,334 (11.6%) had CPA recorded in any line of the DC. Specifically, CPA was recorded in 49,178 DCs between the ages of 1 and 4 years and in 88,116 of those between the ages of 29 and 365 days, corresponding, respectively, to 26% and 22% of the deaths in these age groups. These two age groups had the highest rates of CPA recorded in any line of the DC. The main primary causes of death when CPA was recorded in the sequence of death were respiratory, hematologic, and neoplastic diseases. Conclusion: Perinatal and external causes were the primary causes of death, with highest MRs under the age of 20 years in Brazil from 1996 to 2019. When multiple causes of death were considered, the main primary causes associated with CPA were respiratory, hematologic, and neoplastic diseases. Most deaths occurred in the hospital environment. Better understanding of the sequence of events in these deaths and improvements in teaching strategies in pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation are needed.

Efectividad de la formación teórico-práctica en soporte vital básico a monitoras de comedores escolares desde Atención Primaria / Effectiveness of theoretical-practical training in basic life support for school canteen monitors from Primary Care

Introducción: las enfermedades cardiovasculares constituyen un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial y dentro de ellas destaca la parada cardiorrespiratoria (PCR). Los comedores escolares son espacios con potencial riesgo de presenciar una PCR. Materiales y métodos: estudio analítico cuasiexperimental de intervención. Las participantes recibieron formación mediante una plataforma virtual interactiva y una sesión de simulación clínica presencial sobre maniobra de Heimlich, reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) básica y uso del desfibrilador externo semiautomático (DESA). Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de la población a estudio y un análisis estadístico comparativo entre el resultado obtenido en un test previo y otro posterior a la formación virtual. Se creó una variable restando la puntuación obtenida antes de la formación a la obtenida después de la misma. Se analizó mediante observación directa la simulación clínica. Se definió la significación estadística con una p <0,05. Análisis estadístico con SPSS versión 19.0. Se siguieron los principios de la Declaración de Helsinki y las directrices sobre buenas prácticas clínicas. Resultados: la totalidad de la muestra eran mujeres con edad mediana de 48,50 años. La nota mediana del test previo fue de 6,7/10 y el test posterior tuvo un resultado constante de 10/10. La diferencia entre el test posterior y el previo tuvo una mediana de 3,3 (p 0,01) y se constató en la simulación que el aprendizaje fue óptimo. Conclusiones: la formación en RCP es una estrategia de impacto social, relacionada con una mejora en la respuesta ante un caso de PCR, disminuyendo la morbimortalidad que esta implica. (AU)

Introduction: cardiovascular diseases constitute a public health problem worldwide, among which cardiopumonary arrest (CPA) stands out. School canteens are spaces where there is a possibility of witnessing CPA. Materials and methods: quasi-experimental interventional and analytical study. Participants received training through an interactive virtual platform and a face-to-face clinical simulation session on the Heimlich manoeuvre, basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of the semiautomatic external defibrillator (SAED). We carried out a descriptive analysis of the study population and a comparative statistical analysis of the results obtained in the tests conducted before and after the virtual training. We created variable corresponding to the subtraction of the pre-training score from the post-training score. Clinical simulation was analysed by direct observation. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05. The statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS version 19.0. The study adhered to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and the guidelines on good clinical practice. Results: the entire sample consisted of women with a median age of 48.50 years. The median score in the pre-test was 6.7/10, and the score in the post-test was uniformly 10/10. The median difference between the pre- and post-training tests was of 3.3 points (p 0.01) and the simulation evinced that the learning was optimal. Conclusions: training in CPR is a strategy that has social impact in terms of the improvement in the response to a CPA events, achieving a reduction in the associated morbidity and mortality. (AU)

Nueva herramienta de comunicación para el entrenamiento de soporte vital básico: smart glasses. Un diseño cuasiexperimental / New communication tool for basic life support training: smart glasses. A quasi-experimental study

Objetivo Analizar la efectividad de una metodología de enseñanza-aprendizaje de teleformación en soporte vital básico (SVB) basada en la comunicación a través de smart glasses. Diseño Estudio piloto cuasiexperimental de no inferioridad. Participantes Un total de 60 estudiantes universitarios. Intervenciones Aleatorización de los participantes en: grupo de teleformación a través de smart glasses (SG) y de formación tradicional (C). Ambas sesiones de entrenamiento fueron muy breves (<8 minutos) e incluyeron el mismo contenido en SVB. En SG, la capacitación fue comunicándose a través de una videollamada con smart glasses. Variables de interés principales Se evaluó el protocolo del SVB, el uso de desfibrilador externo automático (DEA), la calidad de la reanimación y los tiempos de actuación. Resultados En la mayoría de las variables del protocolo del SVB, la calidad de la reanimación y los tiempos de ejecución no hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre grupos. Hubo mejor actuación de SG al valorar la respiración (SG: 100%, C: 81%; p=0,013), el avisar antes de la descarga del DEA (SG: 79%, C: 52%; p=0,025) y las compresiones con buena reexpansión (SG: 85%, C: 32%; p=0,008). Conclusiones El tele-entrenamiento en SVB-DEA para legos con smart glasses podría llegar a ser, al menos, tan efectivo como un método tradicional de enseñanza. Además, las smart glasses podrían ser más ventajosas para ciertos aspectos del protocolo del SVB y la calidad de las compresiones, probablemente debido a la capacidad de visualización de imágenes en tiempo real. La enseñanza basada en la realidad aumentada debe considerarse para la capacitación en SVB, aunque se requiere tanto cautela en la extrapolación de hallazgos como estudios futuros con mayor profundidad.

Aim To analyze the effectiveness of a teaching-learning methodology for teletraining in basic life support (BLS) based on communication through smart glasses. Design Pilot quasi-experimental non-inferiority study. Participants Sixty college students. Interventions Randomization of the participants in: tele-training through smart glasses (SG) and traditional training (C) groups. Both training sessions were very brief (less than 8 minutes) and included the same BLS content. In SG, the instructor trained through a video call with smart glasses. Main variables of interest The BLS protocol, the use of AED, the quality of resuscitation and the response times were evaluated. Results In most of the BLS protocol variables, the resuscitation quality and performance times, there were no statistically significant differences between groups. There were significant differences (in favor of the SG) in the assessment of breathing (SG: 100%, CG: 81%; p=0.013), the not-to-touch warning before applying the shock (SG: 79%, CG: 52%; p=0.025) and compressions with correct recoil (SG: 85%, CG: 32%; p=0.008). Conclusions Laypeople BLS-AED brief tele-training through smart glasses could potentially be, at least, as effective as traditional training methods. In addition, smart glasses could be more advantageous than traditional teaching for certain points of the BLS protocol and chest compressions quality, probably due to the capability of real-time visualization of images which supports the BLS sequence. Augmented reality supported teaching should be considered for BLS training, although caution is required in extrapolating findings, and further in-depth studies are needed to confirm its potential role depending on concrete target populations and environments.

Parada cardiorrespiratoria intrahospitalaria: incidencia, factores pronósticos y resultados / In-hospital cardiac arrest: incidence, prognostic factors and results

Introducción y objetivos: La parada cardiorrespiratoria (PCR) intrahospitalaria es una entidad clínica con elevada morbimortalidad que presentan hasta el 2% de los pacientes ingresados. La PCR supone un importante problema de salud pública a nivel económico, social y sanitario, susceptible de revisión y mejora. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar su incidencia, la recuperación de la circulación espontánea (RCE) y la supervivencia en el Hospital de la Princesa, así como las características clínicas y demográficas de los pacientes que la sufren. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, retrospectivo, descriptivo, de tipo registro de casos, durante un periodo de 12 meses, de pacientes por los que se avisó por PCR al equipo de intervención rápida (EIR) compuesto por el servicio de Anestesiología y Reanimación. Resultados: Un total de 44 pacientes fueron incluidos en el estudio, de los cuales 22 (50%) eran mujeres. La edad media fue de 75,70 años (±15,78 años). La incidencia obtenida fue de 2,88 PCR por cada 100.000 ingresos hospitalarios; 22 (50%) pacientes consiguieron la RCE y 11 (25%) obtuvieron la supervivencia al alta hospitalaria. La comorbilidad más prevalente en los pacientes con PCR fue la hipertensión arterial (63,64%). No fueron presenciadas el 66,7% de las PCR y solo el 15,9% presentaron un ritmo desfibrilable. Conclusiones: Los resultados obtenidos son similares a los presentados en otros grandes estudios. Por esta razón, recomendamos implementar EIR y dedicar tiempo a la formación del personal hospitalario en torno a la PCR.(AU)

Background and aims: In-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) is a clinical entity with high morbidity and mortality that occurs in up to 2% of hospitalized patients. It is a public health problem with important economic, social, and medical repercussions, and as such its incidence needs to be reviewed and improved. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of in-hospital CA, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and survival rates at Hospital de la Princesa, and to define the clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with in-hospital CA. Material and methods: Retrospective observational chart review of patients presenting in-hospital CA and treated by anaesthesiologists from the hospital's rapid intervention team. Data were collected over 1 year. Results: Forty-four patients were included in the study, of which 22 (50%) were women. Mean age was 75.70 years (±15.78 years), and incidence of in-hospital CA was 2.88 per 100,000 hospital admissions. Twenty-two patients (50%) achieved ROSC and 11 patients (25%) survived until discharge home. The most prevalent comorbidity was arterial hypertension (63.64%); 66.7% of cases were not witnessed, and only 15.9% presented a shockable rhythm. Conclusions: These results are similar to those reported in other larger studies. We recommend introducing immediate intervention teams and devoting time to training hospital staff in in-hospital CA.(AU)

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the prone position: a systematic review of case series/reports / Reanimação cardiopulmonar em posição prona: uma revisão sistemática de séries/relatos de casos

Abstract Introduction The prone position is frequently adopted for surgical or critically ill patients in intensive care. Cardiorespiratory arrest in these patients may pose an operational challenge, in which delays resulting from mobilization to the supine position culminate in worse outcomes. Objective To provide clinical insight based on the synthesis of evidence from reports or case series on reverse cardiopulmonary resuscitation (reverse CPR) in surgical patients or invasive ventilatory support in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Methods This is a systematic review of reports or case series in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar databases, in addition to a search of the gray literature. Case reports published in any language, reporting at least one case of prone cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients of any age and in any care context, were considered eligible. Results Thirteen studies of fourteen cases of successful reverse resuscitation were retrieved. Three patients died within 30 days, while the others survived without complications or neurological sequelae. Conclusion Despite limited evidence to support clinical decision-making, prone resuscitation appears to be a feasible alternative in exceptional circumstances, where patient mobilization may result in additional harm, delay or interrupt advanced life support (compressions, high-quality early chest surgery, and defibrillation) or incur occupational risks to the health team.

Resumo Introdução A posição prona é um procedimento frequente de cuidados intensivos para pacientes cirúrgicos ou doentes graves. A ocorrência de parada cardiorrespiratória nestes pacientes pode representar um desafio operacional, no qual atrasos relacionados à mobilização para decúbito dorsal implicam em piores desfechos. Objetivo Oferecer um insight clínico a partir da síntese das evidências oriundas de relatos ou séries de casos sobre a utilização de reanimação cardiopulmonar reversa em pacientes cirúrgicos ou em suporte ventilatório invasivo na síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo grave. Métodos Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática de relatos ou séries de casos condu-zida nas bases de dados PubMed, Scopus, Embase e Google Scholar, além de busca na literatura cinzenta. Foram considerados elegíveis relatos de caso publicados em qualquer idioma, que reportaram pelo menos um caso de reanimação cardiopulmonar em posição prona em pacientes de qualquer idade e em qualquer contexto de atendimento. Resultados Foram recuperados treze estudos que relataram quatorze casos de reanimação reversa bem-sucedidos. Três pacientes faleceram em um intervalo de 30 dias, enquanto os demais sobreviveram sem complicações ou sequelas neurológicas. Conclusão Apesar de evidências limitadas para suportar a tomada de decisão clínica, a reanimação em posição prona parece ser uma alternativa factível em circunstâncias excepcionais, nas quais a mobilização do paciente pode resultar em dano adicional, atrasar ou interromper o suporte avançado de vida (compressões torácicas precoces de alta qualidade e a desfibrilação) ou, ainda, incorrer em riscos ocupacionais à equipe de saúde.

Objective: to evaluate the knowledge of nursing staff professionals in the care of cardiorespiratory arrest and to compare before and after training. Method: prospective and comparative research, conducted in a public hospital in São Paulo, in 2021, with 68 professionals. A questionnaire on cardiorespiratory arrest before and after training was applied for comparison. Results: most professionals recognize the classic signs of cardiorespiratory arrest and the correct sequence of care, however, had difficulty identifying the shockable rhythms and actions after defibrillation. The average number of correct answers before and after the training was 43.65 and 66.11, respectively, and corroborates the effectiveness of the educational action. Conclusion: it is extremely relevant to systematically offer training to the team in order to ensure safer and more effective care.

Índice biespectral y tasa de supresión tras parada cardiaca: ¿son útiles para individualizar planes de escalada terapéutica? / Bispectral index and suppression ratio after cardiac arrest: are they useful as bedside tools for rational treatment escalation plans?

Introducción y objetivos: La disfunción miocárdica contribuye a la mortalidad precoz (24-72 horas) de los supervivientes de parada cardiaca (PC). Actualmente, la decisión de implantar un dispositivo de soporte circulatorio en este contexto se toma con información limitada acerca del potencial de recuperación neurológica (PRN) del paciente, lo que en muchas ocasiones termina en infratratamiento. Por tanto, requerimos de herramientas accesibles y fiables que añadan información sobre el PRN y ayuden a establecer planes individualizados de escalada terapéutica. Métodos: Se recogieron valores de índice biespectral (BIS) y tasa de supresión (TS) en supervivientes de una PC sometidos a control de la temperatura corporal. La función neurológica se evaluó con la escala Cerebral Performance Category (CPC). Resultados: Se incluyeron 340 pacientes. En la primera evaluación neurológica completa, 211 (62,1%) alcanzaron buen pronóstico (CPC 1-2). Los valores de BIS fueron significativamente mayores y los de TS menores, en pacientes con CPC 1-2. Un BIS promedio> 26 en las primeras 12 horas predijo buena evolución neurológica (sensibilidad 89,5%; especificidad 75,8%; AUC=0,869), mientras que una TS promedio> 24 en las primeras 12 horas predijo mala evolución o CPC 3-5 (sensibilidad 91,5%; especificidad 81,8%; AUC=0,906). Los valores horarios de BIS/TS mostraron buena capacidad predictiva (AUC> 0,85) desde la 2.a hora para TS y 4.a para BIS. Conclusiones: El BIS/TS permiten estimar el PRN tras una PC. Este hallazgo puede contribuir a crear conciencia con respecto a evitar la limitación de escalada terapéutica en pacientes potencialmente recuperables.(AU)

Introduction and objectives: Myocardial dysfunction contributes to early mortality (24-72 hours) among survivors of a cardiac arrest (CA). The benefits of mechanical support in refractory shock should be balanced against the patient's potential for neurological recovery. To date, these early treatment decisions have been taken based on limited information leading mainly to undertreatment. Therefore, there is a need for early, reliable, accessible, and simple tools that offer information on the possibilities of neurological improvement. Methods: We collected data from bispectral index (BIS) and suppression ratio (SR) monitoring of adult comatose survivors of CA managed with targeted temperature management (TTM). Neurological status was assessed according to the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) scale. Results: We included 340 patients. At the first full neurological evaluation, 211 patients (62.1%) achieved good outcome or CPC 1-2. Mean BIS values were significantly higher and median SR lower in patients with CPC 1-2. An average BIS> 26 during first 12hours of TTM predicted good outcome with 89.5% sensitivity and 75.8% specificity (AUC of 0.869), while average SR values> 24 during the first 12hours of TTM predicted poor outcome (CPC 3-5) with 91.5% sensitivity and 81.8% specificity (AUC, 0.906). Hourly BIS and SR values exhibited good predictive performance (AUC> 0.85), as soon as hour 2 for SR and hour 4 for BIS. Conclusions: BIS/SR are associated with patients’ potential for neurological recovery after CA. This finding could help to create awareness of the possibility of a better outcome in patients who might otherwise be wrongly considered as nonviable and to establish personalized treatment escalation plans.(AU)

Ultrasonido Point-Of-Care (POCUS) durante la reanimación cardiopulmonar para el diagnóstico de causas reversibles de arresto cardiaco / Point-Of-Care ultrasound (POCUS) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation for the diagnosis of reversible causes of cardiac arrest / Ultrassonografia Point-of-Care (POCUS) durante a reanimação cardiopulmonar para o diagnóstico de causas reversíveis de parada cardíaca

Resumen: La ultrasonografía enfocada al paciente crítico o «ultrasonido Point-Of-Care¼ (POCUS) es una herramienta utilizada en la cabecera del paciente en distintas áreas de la medicina crítica y servicios de emergencias debido a su practicidad y a que provee gran información de forma rápida y no invasiva para realizar diagnósticos y abordajes terapéuticos. El arresto cardiaco (AC) es una situación crítica que requiere una adecuada reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) y en la que es crucial la identificación de la etiología para realizar una intervención rápida y lograr la resolución de la misma, particularmente en el escenario de una actividad eléctrica sin pulso (AESP) en la que la ecografía cobra vital importancia. La implementación de protocolos de reanimación cardiopulmonar apoyados de un abordaje ultrasonográfico es factible y de gran utilidad para la identificación etiológica del AC y la resolución de causas específicas.

Abstract: Ultrasound focused on the critical patient or «Point-Of-Care ultrasound¼ (POCUS) is a tool used at the patient's bedside in different areas of critical medicine and emergency services due to its practicality as it provides great information quickly and non-invasive for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Cardiac arrest (CA) is a critical situation that requires adequate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and in which the identification of the etiology is crucial to carry out a rapid intervention and achieve its resolution, particularly in the setting of a pulseless electrical activity (AESP) in which ultrasound is of vital importance. The implementation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation protocols supported by an ultrasound approach is feasible and of great utility for the etiological identification of CA and the resolution of specific causes.

Resumo: A ultrassonografia focada em pacientes críticos ou «Point-Of-Care ultra-som¼ (POCUS) é uma ferramenta utilizada à beira do leito do paciente em diferentes áreas da medicina crítica e serviços de emergência devido à sua praticidade e ao fato de fornecer uma grande quantidade de informações rapidamente e não invasivo para abordagens diagnósticas e terapêuticas. A parada cardíaca (PC) é uma situação crítica que requer uma adequada ressuscitação cardiopulmonar (RCP) e na qual a identificação da etiologia é crucial para a rápida intervenção e resolução, particularmente no cenário de uma atividade elétrica sem pulso (AESP) em qual o ultra-som é de vital importância. A implementação de protocolos de ressuscitação cardiopulmonar apoiados por uma abordagem ultrassonográfica é viável e muito útil para a identificação etiológica do RAC e resolução de causas específicas.

Resumo Objetivo: analisar indicadores de qualidade e conteúdo técnico dos vídeos postados na plataforma YouTube, para leigos, sobre reanimação cardiopulmonar em adultos e sua produção audiovisual quanto aos princípios do letramento digital em saúde. Método: estudo descritivo, exploratório, que selecionou vídeos gravados entre dezembro de 2015 e abril de 2021. Foram analisados por indicadores da produção de material audiovisual, considerando as diretrizes da American Heart Association e os princípios do letramento digital em saúde. Foi realizada estatística descritiva e inferencial. Resultados: dos 121 vídeos analisados, 26 não atenderam qualquer indicador sobre ressuscitação cardiopulmonar; quatro atingiram 81% de conformidade; oito vídeos, 79%; nove vídeos, 69% e 74 vídeos de seis a 63%. De acordo com os princípios do letramento digital em saúde, um vídeo atendeu 85% dos indicadores; 81 vídeos atenderam de 50 a 80% e 39 vídeos, de 10 a 49%. Foi identificada correlação positiva entre letramento e ressuscitação cardiopulmonar. Conclusão: nenhum vídeo apresentou 100% de conformidade com as diretrizes da American Heart Association. A falta de mecanismos de fiscalização e controle sobre conteúdos relacionados à saúde permite a publicação de vídeos equivocados, que têm sido utilizados como aprendizado pelas pessoas e podem perder o maior objetivo que é salvar vidas.

Abstract Objective: to analyze the quality indicators and technical content of the videos for lay people posted on the YouTube platform, on cardiopulmonary resuscitation in adults and their audiovisual production regarding the principles of digital health literacy. Method: a descriptive and exploratory study, which selected videos recorded between December 2015 and April 2021. They were analyzed by indicators of the production of audiovisual material, considering the American Heart Association guidelines and the principles of digital health literacy. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed. Results: of the 121 videos analyzed, 26 did not comply with any indicator on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, four reached 81% compliance, eight videos reached 79%, nine reached 69% and 74 videos, from 6% to 63%. According to the principles of digital health literacy, one video met 85% of the indicators, 81 met from 50% to 80% and 39, from 10% to 49%. A positive correlation was identified between literacy and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Conclusion: no video presented 100% compliance with the American Heart Association guidelines. The absence of mechanisms for supervision and control over health-related contents allows for the posting of mistaken videos, which have been used as a learning method by people and can thus miss their greatest goal: save lives.

Shock mixto en paciente con infarto agudo de miocardio: intervenciones enfermeras / Mixed shock in patients with acute myocardial infarction: Nursing interventions

El tratamiento del shock cardiogénico incluye el uso de terapias de asistencia circulatoria cuando el tratamiento médico ha sido insuficiente y pueden ser un puente a decisión ya que conceden tiempo para evaluar la situación del paciente y tener en cuenta las diferentes opciones terapéuticas existentes. El objetivo de este artículo es desarrollar un plan de cuidados óptimo e individualizado utilizando la taxonomía NANDA-NOC-NIC. Observación clínica Se realizó una valoración enfermera según las necesidades de Virginia Henderson donde destacaron 2 necesidades alteradas: respiración y circulación, ya que la paciente precisó de ventilación mecánica invasiva (VMI) y requirió soporte de asistencia circulatoria mecánica. Intervenciones De acuerdo con las necesidades destacadas, se priorizaron 5 diagnósticos según la taxonomía NANDA utilizando el modelo de Análisis de Resultado del Estado Actual (AREA): riesgo de disminución del gasto cardíaco, deterioro de la ventilación espontánea, deterioro de la integridad tisular, riesgo del síndrome de desuso, riesgo de infección y riesgo de hipotermia. Discusión y conclusiones Los criterios de resultados evidenciaron una evolución favorable pasadas 96h. El desarrollo del lenguaje estandarizado NANDA-NOC-NIC nos permitió organizar el plan de cuidados enfermero. (AU)

Introduction and objectives We present a clinical case of a 40-year-old woman diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Killip I who was admitted to our hospital. She experienced complications in the haemodynamic lab and in the operating room, including cardiogenic and anaphylactic shock requiring ventricular assist support. Conservative management support with inotropes and vasopressors in cardiogenic shock has been shown to be insufficient in many patients to maintain adequate perfusion and prevent irreversible multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. For this reason, short-term mechanical circulatory support systems are increasing substantially. The objective of this article is to develop optimal and individualised care plans using the NANDA, NOC, NIC taxonomies. Clinical observation An evaluation based on Virginia Hendersońs basic needs was made, and two altered needs stood out: breathing and circulation. The patient required mechanical ventilation and mechanical circulatory support. Interventions In relation to the highlighted needs, six diagnoses were prioritized according to the NANDA taxonomy using the Análisis de Resultado del Estado Actual (AREA) (Outcome-Present State Test (OPT)) model: risk of decreased cardiac output, impaired spontaneous ventilation, impaired tissue integrity, risk of disuse syndrome, risk of infection and risk of hypothermia. Discussion and conclusions Outcome criteria scores showed a favourable evolution after 96h. The development of a standardized NANDA-NOC-NIC language allowed us to organize the nursing care plan.

Arritmias cardíacas em pacientes com COVID-19 / Cardiac arrhythmias in patients with COVID-19

Resumo Fundamento: A doença pelo novo coronavírus (COVID-19) está associada a manifestações clínicas cardiovasculares, incluindo a ocorrência de arritmias cardíacas. Objetivos: Avaliar a incidência de arritmias cardíacas (taquiarritmia atrial, bradiarritmia e taquicardia ventricular sustentada) e de parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR) em uma coorte de pacientes internados com COVID-19 em hospital universitário terciário. Métodos: Estudo de coorte retrospectivo realizado por meio de revisão dos registros de prontuário médico. Para comparação entre os grupos, foi considerado como estatisticamente significativo valor de P < 0,05. Resultados: Foram incluídos 241 pacientes consecutivos com diagnóstico de COVID-19 (idade média, 57,8 ± 15,0 anos; 51,5% homens; 80,5% de raça branca) e 35,3% com necessidade de ventilação mecânica invasiva (VM). A mortalidade geral foi de 26,6%, sendo de 58,8% entre aqueles em VM. Arritmias cardíacas ocorreram em 8,7% dos pacientes, sendo a mais comum taquiarritmia atrial (76,2%). Pacientes com arritmias apresentaram maior mortalidade, 52,4% versus 24,1% (p=0,005). Em análise multivariada, apenas a presença de insuficiência cardíaca foi associada a maior risco de arritmias ( hazard ratio , 11,9; IC 95%: 3,6-39,5; p<0,001). Durante a internação, 3,3% dos pacientes foram atendidos em PCR, com predomínio de ritmos não chocáveis. Todos os atendidos em PCR evoluíram com óbito durante a internação. Conclusão: A incidência de arritmias cardíacas em pacientes internados com COVID-19 em hospital terciário brasileiro foi de 8,7%, sendo a mais comum taquiarritmias atrial. A presença de insuficiência cardíaca foi associada a maior risco de arritmias. Pacientes com COVID-19 atendidos em PCR apresentam elevada mortalidade.

Abstract Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with cardiovascular clinical manifestations, including cardiac arrhythmias. Objective: To assess the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias (atrial tachyarrhythmia, bradyarrhythmia, and sustained ventricular tachycardia) and cardiac arrest (CA) in a cohort of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in a tertiary university-affiliated hospital. Methods: Cohort study with retrospective analysis of electronic medical records. For comparison between groups, a value of p <0.05 was considered statistically significant Results: We included 241 consecutive patients diagnosed with COVID-19 (mean age, 57.8 ± 15.0 years; 51.5% men; 80.5% white), 35.3% of whom received invasive mechanical ventilation (MV). The overall mortality was 26.6%, being 58.8% among those on MV. Cardiac arrhythmias were identified in 8.7% of the patients, the most common being atrial tachyarrhythmia (76.2%). Patients with arrhythmias had higher mortality (52.4% versus 24.1%, p = 0.005). On multivariate analysis, only the presence of heart failure (HF) was associated with a higher risk of arrhythmias (hazard ratio, 11.9; 95% CI: 3.6-39.5; p <0.001). During hospitalization, 3.3% of the patients experienced CA, with a predominance of non-shockable rhythms. All patients experiencing CA died during hospitalization. Conclusions: The incidence of cardiac arrhythmias in patients admitted with COVID-19 to a Brazilian tertiary hospital was 8.7%, and atrial tachyarrhythmia was the most common. Presence of HF was associated with an increased risk of arrhythmias. Patients with COVID-19 experiencing CA have high mortality.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain.

OBJECTIVES: The disease COVID-19 produces serious complications that can lead to cardiorespiratory arrest. Quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can improve patient prognosis. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the specialty of Anesthesiology in the management of CPR during the pandemic. METHODS: A survey was carried out with Google Forms consisting of 19 questions. The access link to the questionnaire was sent by email by the Spanish Society of Anesthesia (SEDAR) to all its members. RESULTS: 225 responses were obtained. The regions with the highest participation were: Madrid, Catalonia, Valencia and Andalusia. 68.6%% of the participants work in public hospitals. 32% of the participants habitually work in intensive care units (ICU), however, 62.1% have attended critical COVID-19 in the ICU and 72.6% have anesthetized them in the operating room. 26,3% have attended some cardiac arrest, 16,8% of the participants admitted to lead the manoeuvres, 16,8% detailed that it had been another department, and 66,2% was part of the team, but did not lead the assistance. Most of the CPR was performed in supine, only 5% was done in prone position. 54.6% of participants had not taken any course of Advance Life Support (ALS) in the last 2 years. 97.7% of respondents think that Anesthesia should lead the in-hospital CPR. CONCLUSION: The specialty of Anesthesiology has actively participated in the care of the critically ill patient and in the management of CPR during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, training and/or updating in ALS is required.
