ABSTRACT

A cianose aparece como um dos principais sintomas em crianças portadoras de cardiopatia congênita do tipo cianogênica. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os efeitos da cianose no desenvolvimento psicológico infantil feminino. Foram atendidas 8 crianças do sexo feminino com média 8,1 anos, portadoras de cardiopatia congênita do tipo cianogênica. Foram utilizadas técnicas projetivas (desenho livre) e entrevistas abertas. De acordo com os resultados, 75 'por cento' utlizaram a cor roxa como principal em seus desenhos e 25 'por cento' também se utilizaram da mesma cor, mas com menor evidência. Em relaçäo às entrevistas, observou-se que 100 'por cento' demonstraram desagrado muito significativo por serem cianóticas, apresentando introversäo, auto-estima e autoconfiança rebaixadas, além da auto-imagem distorcida com sentimentos de insegurança e inferioridade, notando-se comportamento agressivo. Por meio deste estudo, concluiu-se que os efeitos da cianose interferem no desenvolvimento emocional da criança.

ABSTRACT

Thirty-two children with severe breath-holding spells and 42 control children were studied by using the Child Behavior Checklist. No single behavioral profile could identify children with breath-holding spells, and there were no group differences with respect to individual behavior categories, broad-band profiles, or total scores. No correlation was found between frequency of breath-holding spells and profile scores.

ABSTRACT

The concentration of brain type creatine kinase (CK-BB) was measured in blood from the internal jugular vein in 32 children (less than 1 year old) with congenital heart disease. In transposition of the great arteries the CK-BB levels were significantly higher than in children without cyanosis (10.1 +/- 4.1 vs. 3.0 +/- 0.5 ng/ml). A negative correlation was found for CK-BB concentration and arterial oxygen saturation (r = -0.41, p less than 0.02 for all children and r = -0.62, p less than 0.05 for those with tetralogy of Fallot). It is suggested that the increased CK-BB levels in the blood of cyanotic children reflect chronic cerebral hypoxia, which may explain other reports of reduced psycho-intellectual function in patients with cyanotic heart disease.
