ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factors that influence the knowledge and behavior of professionals of neonatal and pediatric units about bundled strategies of insertion of central venous catheter. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional study, conducted in one neonatal and one pediatric intensive care units in a public hospital in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, from April to July, 2016. The sample consisted of 255 professionals who answered a structured instrument. Descriptive and comparative analyses were made using the SPSS software. RESULTS: The category nursing professional (p = 0.010), working hours of 12×36 scale (p < 0.001), training as a form of acquiring knowledge (p < 0.001) and participation in training programs (p < 0.001) are associated to greater knowledge about the bundle. Regarding behavior, no significant associations were observed. CONCLUSION: The study showed that there are factors that influence the knowledge about bundled strategies of insertion of central venous catheter, reflecting the need to consider these practices for making more effective educational practices in health care.

BACKGROUND: The contemporary practice patterns and role of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in the treatment of inferior vena cava thrombosis is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database was used to identify patients with a principal discharge diagnosis of inferior vena cava thrombosis (International Classification of Diseases-Ninth Revision-Clinical Modification, 453.2) from 2005 to 2011. We compared patients treated with CDT plus anticoagulation with patients treated with anticoagulation alone. We used propensity scores to construct 2 matched groups of 563 patients for comparative outcomes analysis. Among 2674 patients admitted with inferior vena cava thrombosis, 718 (26.9%) underwent CDT. The national CDT utilization rates increased from 16.0% in 2005 to 34.7% in 2011 (P<0.001). Based on the propensity-matched comparison, the inhospital mortality was not significantly different between the CDT and the anticoagulation groups (2.0% versus 1.4%; P=0.49). The rates of pulmonary embolism (12.1% versus 7.8%; P=0.02), intracranial hemorrhage (1.6% versus 0.2%; P=0.03), and acute renal failure (13.9% versus 9.4%; P=0.02) were significantly higher in the CDT group. The CDT group had longer length of stay and higher hospital charges compared with the anticoagulation group. CONCLUSIONS: There has been a steady increase in the use of CDT in the treatment of patients with inferior vena cava thrombosis in the United States. This observational study showed no significant difference in mortality between CDT versus anticoagulation alone; however, the bleeding events and resource utilization were higher in the CDT group. Adequately powered randomized controlled trials are needed in this area.

CONTEXTO: Acesso venoso trans-hepático percutâneo para hemodiálise é uma opção para pacientes que já exauriram acessos venosos tradicionais. OBJETIVO: Apresentar uma série de casos que demonstram a factibilidade e a funcionalidade da implantação dos cateteres semi-implantáveis por meio de acesso venoso trans-hepático percutâneo em pacientes sem possibilidades de outros acessos. MÉTODOS: Análise observacional retrospectiva dos prontuários de seis pacientes que foram submetidos à implantação de nove cateteres trans-hepáticos percutâneos para hemodiálise. Os cateteres foram implantados na ausência de acessos venosos periféricos disponíveis. No seguimento dos pacientes, procurou-se avaliar: sucesso técnico do procedimento, taxa de complicação, taxa de infecção e patência do acesso. RESULTADOS: Quatro homens e duas mulheres com idades entre 31 e 85 anos (média: 55 anos). Sucesso técnico obtido em 100 por cento. A média de duração dos cateteres foi de 300,5 dias (2 a 814 dias). Médias de patência primária e secundária foram de 179,60 e 328,33 dias, respectivamente. Taxa de trombose dos cateteres foi de 0,05 por 100 cateteres-dias, assim como a taxa de infecção. Houve três complicações precoces (30 primeiros dias de implantação dos cateteres): dois deslocamentos dos cateteres e uma infecção. Duas complicações tardias foram observadas: uma trombose e uma migração. Três pacientes (50 por cento) tiveram que trocar seus cateteres. Taxa de mortalidade em 30 dias foi de 33 por cento, porém não relacionada ao procedimento. CONCLUSÃO: Implantação do cateter para hemodiálise por meio do acesso venoso trans-hepático percutâneo parece ser uma técnica segura, porém a utilização desse acesso deve ser aplicada somente em casos de esgotamento de outros acessos vasculares profundos.
BACKGROUND: Percutaneous transhepatic venous access is an option for hemodialysis patients who have exhausted all traditional sites of venous access. OBJECTIVES: To present a small sample regarding the possibility and the functionality of transhepatic implantation of long-term catheters for hemodialysis in patients with no other possible access routes. METHODS: Retrospective observational analysis was made of the charts of six patients in which nine tunneled dialysis catheters were implanted by the percutaneous transhepatic route. Transhepatic catheters were placed in the absence of an available peripheral venous site. Patients were monitored to evaluate technical success, the complication rate, the infection rate and the duration of catheter patency. RESULTS: Four men and two women aged 31 to 85 years (mean age: 55 years). Technical success was 100 percent. The mean duration of catheter function was 300.5 days (range: 2 to 814 days). Means of primary and secondary patency were 179.60 and 328.33 days, respectively. The catheter thrombosis rate was 0.05 per 100 catheter-days as the infection rate. There were three early complications (within the first 30 days of catheter implantation): two catheter displacement and one infection. Two late complications were observed: one thrombosis and one migration. Three patients (50 percent) needed to have their catheters changed. The 30-day mortality rate was 33 percent but with no relation to the procedure. CONCLUSION: It may be suggested that this technique is safe, however transhepatic hemodialysis catheters may be used in patients with no other options for deep venous access for hemodialysis, albeit as a last resort access route.

La introducción del catéter venoso central (CVC) ha significado un gran avance en la medicina moderna y su uso generalizado ha permitido el desarrollo de nuevas técnicas diagnósticas y tratamientos especializados. La cateterización intravascular es uno de los procedimientos más comunes realizados en la actualidad. Se utiliza para la monitoría hemodinámica, hemodiálisis, el soporte metabólico y nutricional, la administración de líquidos, quimioterapia y antibioticoterapia prolongada, sangre y derivados, entre otros. Las complicaciones frecuentes incluyen: infecciones, neumotórax, punción arterial, hidrotórax y hemotórax.

A canulação do sistema venoso central é um procedimento cirúrgico que faz parte da clínica diária. A obtenção de um acesso central é essencial para a administração de drogas, líquidos e nutrição, além de servir para a monitoração rigorosa do momento hemodinâmico do paciente. Neste artigo, o autor revisa todas as etapas para o acesso venoso central: a preparação, as indicações, as contra-indicações, a utilidade clínica e as técnicas de punção.
Central venous catheterization is an essential tool for fluid and drug administration, monitoring of hemodynamic parameters and blood sampling in critically ill patients. Preparation, indications, contraindications and techniques for catheterization are reviwed.
