RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Eating disorders (EDs) develop more frequently in young females. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been evidence of an increase in children and adolescents, with an earlier onset and a worse body weight and nutritional status. The aim of this study was to determine whether this trend has also been observed in our region over the past 6 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective and descriptive cohort study in paediatric patients with a diagnosis of ED, referred during the 3 years preceding and following the declaration of the state of alarm due to the pandemic. We analysed and compared clinical, anthropometric and laboratory variables and bioelectrical impedance and bone density data. RESULTS: Of the 129 patients in the sample, 28 were referred before the lockdown period and 101 after. When we compared these groups, we found a longer time elapsed from onset to the initial assessment (mean delay, 11.87 [SD, 6.75] vs. 6.64 [SD, 4.36] months), a greater hospitalization rate (14.1% vs. 10.1%), and lower vitamin D values (mean level, 28.19 [SD, 9.95] vs. 34.39 [SD, 11.87] ng/mL) in the post-lockdown group. We also found a greater frequency of self-harm suicide attempts in these patients. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the increasing trend in EDs in children and adolescents in our area. Moreover, we found differences in the clinical characteristics and time elapsed to diagnosis compared to the patients referred to the hospital before the pandemic.

RESUMO

Introducción: el análisis de la composición corporal (CC) es un elemento esencial en la práctica clínica nutricional. La impedancia bioeléctrica es una de las técnicas más utilizadas para estimar la CC. Se han planteado diversos enfoques para disminuir el margen de error que presenta, asegurando su aplicación en todas las poblaciones. Uno de ellos es el uso de vectores de impedancia, mediante el empleo de elipses de tolerancia. Objetivo: comparar los vectores de la muestra con la población italiana y determinar elipses de tolerancia específicas para población universitaria colombiana. Materiales y métodos: estudio observacional de corte transversal en 608 universitarios. La participación fue a conveniencia y voluntaria, entre febrero de 2022 y marzo de 2023. El software BIVA 2002 fue usado para calcular las elipses de tolerancia y BIVA Confidence para comparar los vectores de las elipses con la población italiana a partir de la prueba T2 de Hotelling, que se consideró significativa con p < 0,05. Resultados: las medidas de R/Hy Xc/H fueron mayores en mujeres (420,75 ± 56,012 Ω/m vs. 308,7508 ± 41,81 Ω/m) y (46,15 ± 5,79 Ω/m vs. 39,44 ± 5,01 Ω/m), respectivamente. Los vectores de impedancia se posicionaron sobre los cuadrantes superiores del gráfico RXc, evidenciando diferencias significativas en la distribución de los vectores de composición entre las muestras. Conclusiones: los vectores de los universitarios colombianos fueron diferentes a la población de referencia, por lo que fue necesario determinar las elipses específicas.(AU)


Introduction: body composition (BC) analysis is an essential element in clinical nutritional practice. Bioelectrical impedance is one of the most widely used techniques for estimating BC. Several approaches have been proposed to reduce the margin of error it presents, ensuring its appli- cation in all populations. One of them is the use of impedance vectors, using tolerance ellipses.Objective: to compare the sample vectors with the Italian population and to determine specific tolerance ellipses for the Colombian university population. Materials and methods: observational cross-sectional study in 608 university students. Participation was at convenience and voluntary, betweenFebruary 2022 and March 2023. BIVA 2002 software was used to calculate the tolerance ellipses and BIVA confi dence to compare the vectorsof the ellipses with the Italian population using Hotelling’s T2 test, which was considered as significant at p < 0.05. Results: R/H and Xc/H measurements were higher in females (420.75 ± 56.012 Ω/m vs 308.7508 ± 41.81 Ω/m) and (46.15 ± 5.79 Ω/m vs 39.44 ± 5.01 Ω/m), respectively. The impedance vectors were positioned over the upper quadrants of the RXc plot, evidencing significant differences in the distribution of the composition vectors between samples. Conclusions: the vectors of the Colombian university students were different from the reference population, so it was necessary to determinethe specific ellipses.

RESUMO

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a new method of monitoring non-invasive mechanical ventilation, at the bedside and useful in critically ill patients. It allows lung monitoring of ventilation and perfusion, obtaining images that provide information on lung function. It is based on the physical principle of impedanciometry or the body's ability to conduct an electrical current. Various studies have shown its usefulness both in adults and in pediatrics in respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia and atelectasis in addition to pulmonary thromboembolism and pulmonary hypertension by also providing information on pulmonary perfusion, and may be very useful in perioperative medicine; especially in pediatrics avoiding repetitive imaging tests with ionizing radiation.

RESUMO

Respiratory physiotherapy, including the management of invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) and noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV), is a key supportive intervention for critically ill patients. MV has potential for inducing ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) as well as long-term complications related to prolonged bed rest, such as post-intensive care syndrome and intensive care unit acquired weakness. Physical and respiratory therapy, developed by the critical care team, in a timely manner, has been shown to prevent these complications. In this pathway, real-time bedside monitoring of changes in pulmonary aeration and alveolar gas distribution associated with postural positioning, respiratory physiotherapy techniques and changes in MV strategies can be crucial in guiding these procedures, providing safe therapy and prevention of potential harm to the patient. Along this path, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has emerged as a new key non-invasive bedside strategy free of radiation, to allow visualization of lung recruitment. This review article presents the main and potential applications of EIT in relation to physiotherapy techniques in the ICU setting.

RESUMO

Introducción El umbral de confort máximo o maximum comfort level (MCL), umbral eléctrico o threshold level (THR) e impedancia eléctrica cambian en el postoperatorio del implante coclear durante meses hasta estabilizarse. El objetivo de este artículo es establecer la variación durante cinco años posquirúrgicos de la impedancia, y su relación con MCL en adultos implantados unilateralmente. Métodos Estudio retrospectivo a cinco años, con 78 pacientes adultos implantados con MED-EL en un hospital terciario desde el año 2000 hasta 2015. Se analizó la variación de impedancia, MCL y relación entre ellos, en electrodos basales (9-12), medios (5-8) y apicales (1-4), realizando análisis inferencial ANOVA de medidas repetidas con comparaciones entre tiempos consecutivos, corregidas con criterio Bonferroni. Resultados Treinta y tres hombres (42,3%) y 45 mujeres (57,7%), con edad media 52,7 ± 14,6 años. Se consideró «estabilidad» el momento del seguimiento sin diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre una visita y la siguiente. Los cambios en la impedancia en electrodos medios dejaron de ser estadísticamente significativos a los tres meses, y en apicales a los seis meses, con valores medios de 5,84 y 6,43 kohms. MCL se estabilizó a los dos años en electrodos basales y apicales, y a los tres años en medios, con valores medios de 24,9, 22,7 y 25,6 qu. Hubo correlación entre MCL e impedancia en electrodos medios hasta 3 meses y en apicales hasta un año. Conclusiones La impedancia eléctrica desciende significativamente en electrodos medios y apicales hasta tres y seis meses. El MCL aumenta significativamente hasta dos años. La impedancia se relaciona con MCL hasta seis meses. (AU)


Introduction The maximum comfort level (MCL), threshold level (THR) and electrical impedance change in the postoperative period of the cochlear implant for months until they stabilize. The objective of this article is to establish the variation during 5 post-surgical years of impedance, and its relationship with MCL in unilaterally implanted adults. Methods Retrospective study over 5 years, with 78 adult patients implanted with MED-EL in a tertiary hospital from the year 2000 to 2015. The variation in impedance, MCL and the relationship between them were analyzed in basal (9-12), medial (5-8) and apical electrodes (1-4), performing an inferential ANOVA analysis of repeated measures with comparisons between consecutive times, corrected with Bonferroni criteria. Results 33 men (42.3%) and 45 women (57.7%), with a mean age of 52.7 ± 14.6 years. “Stability” was considered the time of follow-up without statistically significant differences between one visit and the next. Changes in impedance in medial electrodes ceased to be statistically significant at 3 months, and in apicals at 6 months, with mean values of 5.84 and 6.43 kohms. MCL stabilized at 2 years in basal and apical electrodes, and at 3 years in medial, with mean values of 24.9, 22.7, and 25.6 qu. There was a correlation between MCL and impedance in medium electrodes up to 3 months and in apical ones up to one year. Conclusions Electrical impedance drops significantly in medial and apical electrodes up to 3 and 6 months. MCL increases significantly up to two years. Impedance is related to MCL up to 6 months.

Changes in impedance in medial electrodes ceased to be statistically significant at 3 months, and in apicals at 6 months, with mean values of 5.84 and 6.43kΩ. MCL stabilized at 2 years in basal and apical electrodes, and at 3 years in medial, with mean values of 24.9, 22.7, and 25.6qu. There was a correlation between MCL and impedance in medium electrodes up to 3 months and in apical ones up to one year. CONCLUSIONS: Electrical impedance drops significantly in medial and apical electrodes up to 3 and 6 months. MCL increases significantly up to two years. Impedance is related to MCL up to 6 months.

RESUMO

Abstract In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary dis ease (COPD), single lung transplantation (SLT) is some times performed as an alternative to bilateral lung trans plantation due to limited organ availability. However, the postoperative management of SLT presents challenges, including complications related to the distinct compli ance of each lung. This case report presents the case of a 65-year-old male patient who underwent SLT and was in the weaning period from mechanical ventilation. High-flow oxygen therapy (HFOT) was administered, and the physiological effects were measured using electrical impedance tomography (EIT). The results demonstrated that the application of HFOT increased air trapping and overdistention in the native lung without benefiting the transplanted lung. HFOT through a tracheostomy tube or nasal cannula resulted in a more heterogeneous distri bution of ventilation, with increased end expiratory lung impedance, prolonged expiratory time constants, and an increase in silent spaces. The drop in tidal impedance after applying HFOT did not indicate hypoventilation but rather overdistention and air trapping in the native lung, while the transplanted lung showed evidence of hypoventilation. These findings suggest that HFOT may not be beneficial for SLT patients and could potentially worsen outcomes. However, due to the limited scope of this case report, further prospective studies with larger patient cohorts are needed to confirm these results.


Resumen En pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC), el trasplante pulmonar unilateral (SLT, por sus siglas en inglés) se realiza como alternativa a la disponibilidad limitada de donantes para el trasplante pulmonar bilateral. Sin embargo, el manejo postoperato rio del SLT presenta desafíos, incluyendo complicaciones relacionadas con la distinta complacencia de cada pul món. Este reporte presenta el caso de un paciente varón de 65 años que fue sometido a un SLT y se encontraba en el proceso de destete de la ventilación mecánica. Se administró terapia de oxígeno de alto flujo (HFOT, por sus siglas en inglés) y se midieron los efectos fisiológicos utilizando la tomografía de impedancia eléctrica (EIT, por sus siglas en inglés). Los resultados demostraron que la aplicación de HFOT aumentó la retención de aire y la hiperinflación en el pulmón nativo sin beneficiar al pulmón trasplantado. Tanto la HFOT a través de un tubo de traqueostomía como a través de cánula nasal resultaron en una distribución más heterogénea de la ventilación, con un aumento en la impedancia pulmonar al final de la espiración, prolongación de las constantes de tiempo espiratorias y un aumento en los espacios silentes. La disminución de la impedancia tidal después de aplicar HFOT no indicó hipoventilación, sino más bien hiperinsuflación y retención de gas en el pulmón nativo, mientras que el pulmón trasplantado mostró evidencia de hipoventilación. Estos hallazgos sugieren que el HFOT puede no ser beneficioso para los pacientes con SLT y podría empeorar los resultados. Sin embargo, debido al alcance limitado de este informe de caso, se necesitan estudios prospectivos con cohortes de pacientes más amplias para confirmar estos resultados.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess the changes in lung aeration and respiratory effort generated by two different spontaneous breathing trial (SBT): T-piece (T-T) vs pressure support ventilation (PSV). DESIGN: Prospective, interventionist and randomized study. SETTING: Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Hospital del Mar. PARTICIPANTS: Forty-three ventilated patients for at least 24 h and considered eligible for an SBT were included in the study between October 2017 and March 2020. INTERVENTIONS: 30-min SBT with T-piece (T-T group, 20 patients) or 8-cmH2O PSV and 5-cmH2O positive end expiratory pressure (PSV group, 23 patients). MAIN VARIABLES OF INTEREST: Demographics, clinical data, physiological variables, lung aeration evaluated with electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and lung ultrasound (LUS), and respiratory effort using diaphragmatic ultrasonography (DU) were collected at different timepoints: basal (BSL), end of SBT (EoSBT) and one hour after extubation (OTE). RESULTS: There were a loss of aeration measured with EIT and LUS in the different study timepoints, without statistical differences from BSL to OTE, between T-T and PSV [LUS: 3 (1, 5.5) AU vs 2 (1, 3) AU; p = 0.088; EELI: -2516.41 (-5871.88, 1090.46) AU vs -1992.4 (-3458.76, -5.07) AU; p = 0.918]. Percentage of variation between BSL and OTE, was greater when LUS was used compared to EIT (68.1% vs 4.9%, p ≤ 0.001). Diaphragmatic excursion trend to decrease coinciding with a loss of aeration during extubation. CONCLUSION: T-T and PSV as different SBT strategies in ventilated patients do not show differences in aeration loss, nor estimated respiratory effort or tidal volume measured by EIT, LUS and DU.

RESUMO

Introducción: La valoración nutricional en anorexia nerviosa (AN) incluye determinar la composición corporal y monitorizar su evolución a lo largo del periodo de tratamiento. La prueba gold standard para el estudio de la composición corporal es la absorciometría de rayos X de energía dual (DEXA), si bien la bioimpedancia eléctrica (BIA) se postula como una alternativa más accesible, barata, rápida y que no irradia. Material y métodos: Se reclutaron secuencialmente a 33 mujeres adolescentes (11,7-16,3 años) diagnosticadas de AN. Se recogieron parámetros clínicos, antropométricos y analíticos, y se realizó BIA y DEXA a la inclusión en el estudio y a la finalización del mismo con separación media de un año, durante la fase de rehabilitación nutricional. Resultados: Se objetivó mejoría significativa a nivel nutricional, reflejada en la composición corporal obtenida mediante antropometría y BIA. El ángulo de fase aumentó significativamente durante el periodo de seguimiento. Una mayor pérdida ponderal se correlacionó con la presencia de amenorrea secundaria y con una menor densidad mineral ósea en columna. Conclusiones: La BIA es una herramienta útil para la valoración y el seguimiento del estado nutricional en pacientes con AN en edad pediátrica. La DEXA sigue siendo imprescindible para conocer la afectación de la densidad mineral ósea. El papel de hormonas como la leptina está aún por determinar. (AU)


Introduction: Nutritional status assessment in anorexia nervosa (AN) includes the evaluation and monitoring of body composition throughout the treatment period. The gold standard for the study of body composition is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), although electrical bioimpedance (BIA) is a more accessible, cheaper and faster method that does not involve exposure to radiation. Material and methods: We recruited 33 female adolescents with AN (age, 11.7-16.3 years) by consecutive sampling. We collected data on clinical, anthropometric and laboratory variables. Patients were assessed with BIA and DEXA at inclusion in the study and at the end of the study, with a mean duration of followup of 1 year, during the nutritional rehabilitation phase. Results: There was significant improvement in nutritional status, reflected by the body composition obtained by anthropometric measurements and BIA. The phase angle increased significantly during the followup. Greater weight loss was associated with the presence of secondary amenorrhoea and decreased bone mineral density in the spine. Conclusions: Electrical BIA is a useful tool for assessment and monitoring of nutritional status in paediatric patients with AN. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry continues to be essential to assess bone mineral density. The role of hormones such as leptin remains to be elucidated. (AU)

RESUMO

Resumen El trasplante de pulmón bilateral es el tratamiento de las enfermedades pulmonares en su etapa terminal. Sin embargo, a veces se realiza el trasplante de un solo pulmón. La técnica no está exenta de complicaciones como la hiperinsuflación aguda del pulmón nativo y cambios en el diafragma, predisponiendo a atelectasias e insuficiencia respiratoria que pueden derivar en resul tados negativos. Por lo tanto, las pruebas de respiración espontánea pueden fallar y retrasar el proceso de des vinculación de la ventilación mecánica. La combinación de herramientas de monitorización avanzadas, como la tomografía por impedancia eléctrica y la ecografía, para diagnosticar la causa de este fallo, reconociendo y cuantificando la distribución del volumen pulmonar y su comportamiento dinámico, podría ser crucial para mejorar los resultados. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con trasplante unipulmonar y ventilación prolongada que falla en repetidas ocasiones durante la desvinculación de la ventilación mecánica, donde utilizamos herramientas de monitoreo avanzado para detectar la causa de la falla.


Abstract Bilateral lung transplantation is the treatment of end-stage lung diseases. However, sometimes a single lung transplant is performed. The technique is not exempt from complications such as acute hyperinfla tion of the native lung and changes in the diaphragm, predisposing to atelectasis and respiratory failure that can lead to negative results. Therefore, spontaneous breathing trials may fail and delay the weaning process. The combination of advanced monitoring tools, such as electrical impedance tomography and ultrasonography, to diagnose the cause of this failure, recognizing and quantifying the distribution of lung volume and its dynamic behavior could be crucial to improve outcomes. We present the case of a patient with a one-lung transplant and prolonged mechanical ventilation who, after presenting successive failures in the weaning pro cess, underwent advanced monitoring in order to find the causes of the failure.

RESUMO

Objective To determine which method of Positive End-expiratory Pressure (PEEP) titration is more useful, and to establish an evidence base for the clinical impact of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) based individual PEEP setting which appears to be a promising method to optimize PEEP in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients. Design A systematic review and meta-analysis. Setting 4 databases (PUBMED, EMBASE, Web Of Science, and the Cochrane Library) from 1980 to December 2020 were performed. Participants Randomized clinical trials patients with ARDS. Main variables PaO2/FiO2-ratio and respiratory system compliance. Intervension The quality of the studies was assessed with the Cochrane risk and bias tool. Results 8 trials, including a total of 222 participants, were eligible for analysis. Meta-analysis demonstrates a significantly EIT-based individual PEEP setting for patients receiving higher PaO2/FiO2 ratio as compared to other PEEP titration strategies [5 trials, 202 patients, SMD 0.636, (95% CI 0.364−0.908)]. EIT-drived PEEP titration strategy did not significantly increase respiratory system compliance when compared to other peep titration strategies, [7 trials, 202 patients, SMD −0.085, (95% CI −0.342 to 0.172)]. Conclusions The benefits of PEEP titration with EIT on clinical outcomes of ARDS in placebo-controlled trials probably result from the visible regional ventilation of EIT. These findings offer clinicians and stakeholders a comprehensive assessment and high-quality evidence for the safety and efficacy of the EIT-based individual PEEP setting as a superior option for patients who undergo ARDS (AU)

Diseño Una revisión sistemática y metanálisis. Ámbito Se realizaron 4 bases de datos (PUBMED, EMBASE, Web Of Science y Cochrane Library) de 1980 a diciembre de 2020. Participantes Ensayos clínicos aleatorizados de pacientes con SDRA. Variables principals PaO2/FiO2 ratio y compatibilidad respiratoria. Intervención La calidad de los estudios se evaluó con la Cochrane risk and bias tool. Resultados Ocho ensayos, incluyendo un total de 222 participantes, fueron elegibles para el análisis. El análisis de ≥ eta demuestra una configuración individual significativamente basada en MEITPpara pacientes que reciben una mayor proporción EE2/P PiO2en comparación con otras estrategias de titulación FOPEEP SMD CI. La estrategia de titulación de PEEP derivada del tie no aumentó significativamente el cumplimiento del sistema respiren comparación con otras estrategias de titulación de PEEP, [7 ensayos, 202 pacientes, DME -0,085, (IC del 95%: −0,342−0,172)]. Conclusiones Los beneficios de la valoración de la PEEP con EIT en los resultados clínicos de SDRA en ensayos controlados con placebo probablemente sean el resultado de la ventilación regional visible del EIT. Estos hallazgos ofrecen a los médicos y a las partes interesadas una evaluación integral y evidencia de alta calidad para la seguridad y eficacia de la configuración individual de PEEP basada en EIT como una opción superior para los pacientes que se someten a SDRA (AU)

RESUMO

Objective: the objective of this study was to identify the use of bioelectrical impedance in newborns (NB), as this is an easy-to-apply and non-invasive method of measurement that can be used for distinguishing fat-free mass (FFM), fat mass (FM), and total body water (TBW). Method: this was an integrative review of the literature using the PUBMED/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Virtual Health Library databases to search for original articles between 2010-2020. A total of 900 articles were retrieved; after checking for duplicity and applying the eligibility criteria, 9 were further analyzed. Results: about the results, five studies used single frequency bioimpedance, with a specific population of neonates, preterm and/or full term, and different clinical conditions. Resistance was the most studied bioelectric indicator, the phase angle is little explored, and four studies investigated body composition (FFM, FM and TBW). Studies found that preterm newborns had lower amounts of TBW, FFM, and FM than term newborns, and there were differences in body composition between sex. The phase angle was lower for preterm newborns. Babies fed babies with high protein formulas had increases in the FFM. Conclusion: there is a need for multicenter studies to define standardized methods to be used with this public. (AU)


Objetivo: el objetivo de este estudio fue identificar el uso de la impedancia bioeléctrica en recién nacidos (NB), ya que ese método es de fácil medición y no invasivo para la distinción de masa libre de grasa (MLG), masa grasa (MG) y agua corporal total (ACT). Método: esta fue una revisión integradora de la literatura utilizando PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science y Virtual Health Library para la búsqueda de artículos originales (2010-2020). En total, se encontraron 900 artículos, aunque tras la verificación de duplicidad y aplicación delos criterios de elegibilidad, solo 9 fueron para análisis. Resultados: cinco estudios utilizaron el dispositivo de monofrecuencia. Cada investigación se aplicó en una población específica de neonatos, prematuros y/o a término y diferentes condiciones clínicas. La resistencia fue el indicador bioeléctrico más estudiado, el ángulo de fase fue poco explorado y cuatro estudios investigaron la composición corporal. Dos estudios encontraron que los recién nacidos prematuros tienen menos cantidades de ACT, MLG y MG que los RNT y se observó diferencia en la composición corporal entre los sexos. El ángulo de fase fue inferior en prematuros. Los lactantes que se alimentaron con una fórmula con mayor contenido proteico tenían una mayor cantidad de MLG. Conclusión: se observa la necesidad de estudios multicéntricos para definir métodos estandarizados para ser utilizados con este público. (AU)

Method: this was an integrative review of the literature using the PUBMED/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Virtual Health Library databases to search for original articles between 2010-2020. A total of 900 articles were retrieved; after checking for duplicity and applying the eligibility criteria, 9 were further analyzed. Results: about the results, five studies used single frequency bioimpedance, with a specific population of neonates, preterm and/or full term, and different clinical conditions. Resistance was the most studied bioelectric indicator, the phase angle is little explored, and four studies investigated body composition (FFM, FM and TBW). Studies found that preterm newborns had lower amounts of TBW, FFM, and FM than term newborns, and there were differences in body composition between sex. The phase angle was lower for preterm newborns. Babies fed babies with high protein formulas had increases in the FFM. Conclusion: there is a need for multicenter studies to define standardized methods to be used with this public.


Introducción: Objetivo: el objetivo de este estudio fue identificar el uso de la impedancia bioeléctrica en recién nacidos (NB), ya que ese método es de fácil medición y no invasivo para la distinción de masa libre de grasa (MLG), masa grasa (MG)y agua corporal total. Método: esta fue una revisión integradora de la literatura utilizando PUBMED/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science y Virtual Health Library para la búsqueda de artículos originales (2010-2020). En total, se encontraron 900 artículos, aunque tras la verificación de duplicidad y aplicación de los criterios de elegibilidad, solo 9 fueron para análisis. Resultados: cinco estudios utilizaron el dispositivo de monofrecuencia. Cada investigación se aplicó en una población específica de neonatos, prematuros y/o a término y diferentes condiciones clínicas. La resistencia fue el indicador bioeléctrico más estudiado, el ángulo de fase fue poco explorado y cuatro estudios investigaron la composición corporal. Dos estudios encontraron que los recién nacidos prematuros tienen menos cantidades de ACT, MLG y MG que los RNT y se observó diferencia en la composición corporal entre los sexos. El ángulo de fase fue inferior en prematuros. Los lactantes que se alimentaron con una fórmula con mayor contenido proteico tenían una mayor cantidad de MLG. Conclusión: se observa la necesidad de estudios multicéntricos para definir métodos estandarizados para ser utilizados con este público.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine which method of Positive End-expiratory Pressure (PEEP) titration is more useful, and to establish an evidence base for the clinical impact of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) based individual PEEP setting which appears to be a promising method to optimize PEEP in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients. DESIGN: A systematic review and meta-analysis. SETTING: 4 databases (PUBMED, EMBASE, Web Of Science, and the Cochrane Library) from 1980 to December 2020 were performed. PARTICIPANTS: Randomized clinical trials patients with ARDS. MAIN VARIABLES: PaO2/FiO2-ratio and respiratory system compliance. INTERVENSION: The quality of the studies was assessed with the Cochrane risk and bias tool. RESULTS: 8 trials, including a total of 222 participants, were eligible for analysis. Meta-analysis demonstrates a significantly EIT-based individual PEEP setting for patients receiving higher PaO2/FiO2 ratio as compared to other PEEP titration strategies [5 trials, 202 patients, SMD 0.636, (95% CI 0.364-0.908)]. EIT-drived PEEP titration strategy did not significantly increase respiratory system compliance when compared to other peep titration strategies, [7 trials, 202 patients, SMD -0.085, (95% CI -0.342 to 0.172)]. CONCLUSIONS: The benefits of PEEP titration with EIT on clinical outcomes of ARDS in placebo-controlled trials probably result from the visible regional ventilation of EIT. These findings offer clinicians and stakeholders a comprehensive assessment and high-quality evidence for the safety and efficacy of the EIT-based individual PEEP setting as a superior option for patients who undergo ARDS.

RESUMO

Resumen Objetivo: Comparar la composición corporal por antropometría clásica e impedancia bioeléctrica en estudiantado universitario de una universidad peruana. Método: Estudio correlacional, transversal, conformado por 152 estudiantes (77 varones y 75 mujeres) matriculados en el ciclo 2018-II con edad promedio de 20.45 ± 3.63 años. Se calculó para el método de antropometría el índice de masa corporal, mediciones antropométricas y se utilizó la ecuación de Yuhasz (1974) para determinar el porcentaje de grasa corporal, y para el de bioimpedancia eléctrica se utilizó el analizador tetrapolar multifrecuencia de medición segmental directa Inbody 120. Para establecer la correlación se utilizó el coeficiente de Pearson y para la concordancia se utilizó el método gráfico de Bland Altman e índice de estabilidad. Los datos fueron analizados con el programa estadístico IBM SPSS Statistics, versión 27.0. Para todos los análisis se utilizó un nivel de significancia (p<0.05). Resultados: Existe una fuerte correlación estadísticamente significativa (p<0.01y r=0.95) entre los métodos de antropometría y bioimpedancia eléctrica para la determinación del porcentaje de grasa corporal; además, una buena concordancia según el método gráfico de Bland Altman, reforzada con el índice de estabilidad para complemento de la interpretación (IE= 95 %). Conclusiones: Ambos métodos son intercambiables entre sí, por lo que pueden ser usados indistintamente en este tipo de población para determinar el porcentaje de grasa corporal expresado en porcentaje.


Abstract Objective: The aim was to compare the body composition using classical anthropometry and bioelectric impedance in university students of a Peruvian university. Method: a correlational, cross-sectional study with a research sample of 152 students (77 men and 75 women) enrolled in the 2018-II period with an average age of 20.45 ± 3.63 years. The body mass index and anthropometric measurements were calculated for the anthropometric method. The Yuhasz (1974) equation was used to determine the body fat percentage. The electrical bioimpedance method implemented the tetrapolar multi-frequency direct segmental measurement analyzer Inbody 120. Pearson coefficient was used to establish the correlation, and the Bland Altman graphical method and stability index were used for concordance. The data were analyzed using the statistical software application IBM SPSS Statistics, version 27.0. A level of significance (p <0.05) was used for all analyzes. Results: there is a strong statistically significant correlation (p<0.01 and r = 0.95) between the anthropometric and electrical bioimpedance methods to determine body fat percentage. In addition, there is a good agreement according to the Bland Altman graphical method, reinforced by the stability index to complement the interpretation (IE = 95%). Conclusions: Both methods are interchangeable with each other, so they can be used indistinctly in this type of population to determine body fat percentage.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT This work analyzes the electrical impedance (EI) measurement of cervical mucus (CM) using a device to determine the fertile window. In this prospective and longitudinal study, fourteen healthy women aged 18 to 44 were enrolled to evaluate three menstrual cycles. EI was measured through a medical device inserted into the vagina for two minutes daily. Patients were monitored by urine luteinizing hormone (LH) strip, blood collection, and vaginal ultrasound to visualize the dominant follicle. Finally, the predictive EI capacity was validated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) of anovulatory vs. ovulatory impedances. The peak of LH was 35.7 (±4.5) mUI/ml and the dominant follicle size was 15.45 mm (±0.559). There were statistical differences in EI measurements between the follicular and luteal phases vs. the ovulation phase (p<0.0361 and p<0.0160). After data normalization, an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.713 (P value= 0.0253), a Youden J index of 0.4545Ω, a sensitivity of 63.6%, and a specificity of 81.8% were found. Low EI in the ovulatory period belongs to the LH ovulatory peak and follicular release. EI can be used for ovulation monitoring, birth control, or promoting pregnancy as a safe and innocuous method.


RESUMEN Este trabajo analiza la medición de la impedancia eléctrica (IE) del moco cervical (MC) mediante un dispositivo para determinar la ventana fértil. En este estudio prospectivo y longitudinal, se incluyeron 14 mujeres sanas de 18 a 44 años para evaluar tres ciclos menstruales. La IE se midió a través de un dispositivo médico colocado en la vagina durante dos minutos diarios. Las pacientes fueron monitoreadas con una tira de hormona luteinizante (LH) en orina, recolección de sangre y ultrasonido vaginal para visualizar el folículo dominante. Finalmente, la capacidad predictiva de IE fue validada por la curva ROC (receiver operating characteristic) de impedancias anovulatorias vs. ovulatorias. El pico de LH fue de 35.7(±4.5) mUI/ml; el folículo de tamaño dominante fue de 15.45 mm (±0.559). Se encontraron diferencias estadísticas para la medición de la IE de las fases folicular y lútea versus la fase de ovulación (p<0.0361 y p<0.0160). Después de la normalización de los datos, se encontró un área bajo la curva ROC (AUC) de 0.713 (valor de P = 0.0253), un índice de Youden J de 0.4545 Ω, sensibilidad del 63.6 % y especificidad del 81.8 %. La IE baja en el período ovulatorio que pertenece al pico ovulatorio de LH y liberación folicular. La IE se puede utilizar para el control de la ovulación, el control de la natalidad o la promoción del embarazo como método seguro e inocuo.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Spirometry is a test for the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is a technique that can be intolerant due to the essential use of a mouthpiece and a clamp. This study proposes the use of electrical impedance tomogra phy to measure respiratory parameters. Patients underwent spirometry and three respiratory exercises. The imped ance signals were convolved, and the resultant was analyzed by fast Fourier transform. The frequency spectrum was divided into seven segments (R1 to R7). Each segment was represented in terms of quartiles (Q25%, Q50%, Q75%). Each quartile of each segment was correlated with the spirometric parameters to obtain a fitting equation. FVC was correlated 70% with the 3 quartiles of R7, 3 equations were obtained with a fit of 60%. FEV1 correlated 70% with the Q50% of R7, obtaining an equation with a fit of 40%. FEV1/FVC correlated 69% with Q75% of R2, obtaining an equation with a fit of 60%. Spirometric parameters can be estimated from the implied carrier frequency components of the ventilatory impedance signal.


RESUMEN La espirometría es una prueba para el diagnóstico de enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica. Es una técnica que puede resultar intolerante debido al uso imprescindible de una boquilla y una de pinza. Este estudio propone el uso de la tomografía de impedancia eléctrica para medir los parámetros respiratorios. Los pacientes realizaron una espi rometría y tres ejercicios respiratorios. Las señales de impedancia fueron convolucionadas, y la resultante se analizó mediante una transformada rápida de Fourier. El espectro en frecuencias se dividió en siete segmentos (R1 a R7). Cada segmento se representó en términos de cuartiles (Q25%, Q50%, Q75%). Cada cuartil de cada segmento se co rrelacionó con los parámetros espirométricos para obtener una ecuación de ajuste. La FVC se correlacionó en un 70% con los 3 cuartiles de R7, se obtuvieron 3 ecuaciones con un ajuste del 60%. El FEV1 se correlacionó en un 70% con el Q50% de R7, obteniéndose una ecuación con un ajuste del 40%. El FEV1/FVC se correlacionó en un 69% con el Q75% de R2, obteniéndose una ecuación con un ajuste del 60%. Los parámetros espirométricos pueden ser estimados a partir de los componentes de frecuencia portadora implícitos de la señal de impedancia ventilatoria.

RESUMO

SUMMARY: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is useful for determining bioelectrical parameters and body composition. In turn, differences have been reported when comparing these variables in athletes by training status. Nevertheless, there is no evidence of bioelectrical impedance parameters in Street Workout (SW) athletes. Thus, this study aimed to compare bioelectrical parameters and body composition through BIA between trained and untrained SW athletes. Twenty-two male SW athletes were classified as trained (n=6; 26.3 y [21.0-28.9]) and untrained (n=16; 21.8 y [20.5-24.7]) based on their SW experience. A bioelectrical impedanciometer was used to estimate bioelectrical parameters and body composition. There was no difference in body composition between trained and untrained SW athletes. Regarding impedance, trained athletes had lower values in the upper limbs (right arm: p=0.049; left arm: p=0.027) and trunk (p=0.004), while phase angle values were higher in the upper limbs (right arm: p=0.004; left arm: p=0.001), and trunk (p=0.006), as well as the mean phase angle (p=0.007), than untrained athletes. Bioelectrical impedance parameter differences found between SW training level groups suggest an improvement of tissue qualities, such as muscle, with SW practice. Future longitudinal studies should corroborate if SW training modifies these parameters.


RESUMEN: El análisis de impedancia bioeléctrica es útil para determinar parámetros bioeléctricos y de composición corporal. A su vez, se han reportado diferencias al comparar estas variables en atletas según su estado de entrenamiento. Sin embargo, no hay evidencia de parámetros de impedancia bioeléctrica en atletas de Street Workout (SW). Por tanto, este estudio tuvo como objetivo comparar los parámetros bioeléctricos y la composición corporal entre atletas de Street Workout entrenados y no entrenados. Veintidós atletas masculinos de Street Workout fueron clasificados como entrenados (n=6; 26.3 años [21.0-28.9]) y no entrenados (n=16; 21.8 años [20.5-24.7]) en función de su experiencia en Street Workout. Se utilizó un impedanciómetro bioeléctrico para estimar los parámetros bioeléctricos y la composición corporal. No hubo diferencias en la composición corporal entre los atletas de SW en- trenados y no entrenados. En cuanto a la impedancia, los atletas entrenados tenían valores más bajos en los miembros superiores (brazo derecho: p=0,049; brazo izquierdo: p=0,027) y en el tronco (p=0,004), mientras que los valores del ángulo de fase eran más altos en los miembros superiores (brazo derecho: p=0,004; brazo izquierdo: p=0,001), en el tronco (p=0,006), así como la media del ángulo de fase (p=0,007) que los atletas no entrenados. Las diferencias en los parámetros de impedancia bioeléctrica encontradas entre los grupos según el nivel de entrenamiento de SW sugieren una mejora de las cualidades de los tejidos, como el músculo, con la práctica de SW. Futuros estudios longitudinales deberían corroborar si el entrenamiento SW modifica estos parámetros.

RESUMO

RESUMO Objetivo: verificar associação do ângulo de fase com estado nutricional, tempo de internação e óbito de pacientes críticos. Métodos: estudo longitudinal com 57 pacientes críticos avaliados na admissão em unidade de terapia intensiva durante o ano de 2019, no interior de São Paulo - BR. O ângulo de fase foi obtido por bioimpedância elétrica, e a avaliação nutricional, pelo instrumento de avaliação subjetiva global e antropometria. Os dados foram associados ao tempo de internação e óbito. Para a análise, utilizaram-se testes de Mann-Whitney e Qui-quadrado de Pearson. Resultados: na avaliação subjetiva global, 59,6% dos pacientes apresentavam risco nutricional, e em 91,2% o ângulo de fase estava baixo. A desnutrição foi associada ao maior tempo de internação hospitalar (p=0,001) em unidade de terapia intensiva (p =0,023). Verificou-se tendência ao óbito no grupo com risco nutricional (p=0,054). Conclusão: o ângulo de fase pode contribuir para melhor acurácia da avaliação nutricional, principalmente, quando combinado com outros métodos de avaliação.


ABSTRACT Objective: to verify the association of phase angle with nutritional status, length of hospitalization and death in critically ill patients. Methods: longitudinal study with 57 critically ill patients evaluated upon admission to an intensive care unit during the year 2019, in the countryside of São Paulo - BR. The phase angle was obtained by electrical bioimpedance, and nutritional assessment, by the global subjective assessment instrument and anthropometry. The data were associated with the time of hospitalization and death. For the analysis, Mann-Whitney and Pearson's chi-square tests were used. Results: in the global subjective evaluation, 59.6% of the patients presented nutritional risk, and in 91.2% the phase angle was low. Malnutrition was associated with longer hospital stay (p=0.001) in intensive care unit (p=0.023). There was a tendency to death in the group with nutritional risk (p=0.054). Conclusion: The phase angle can contribute to a better accuracy in nutritional assessment, especially when combined with other assessment methods.
