Early ambulation versus prolonged bed rest for incidental durotomies in spine procedures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Incidental durotomies are frequent complications of spine surgery associated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak-related symptoms. Management typically involves prolonged bed rest to reduce CSF pressure at the durotomy site. However, early ambulation may be a safer, effective alternative. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus were systematically searched for studies comparing early ambulation (bed rest ≤ 24 h) with prolonged bed rest (> 24 h) for patients with incidental durotomies in spine surgeries. The outcomes of interest were CSF leak, hypotensive headache, additional surgical repair, pseudomeningocele, and pulmonary complications. Systematic reviews and meta-analysis were performed following the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. We included a total of 704 patients from 6 studies. There was a significant reduction in the incidence of pulmonary complications (RR 0.23; 95% CI 0.08-0.67; p = 0.007) in the early mobilization group. The incidence of CSF leak (RR 1.34; 95% CI 0.83-2.14; p = 0.23), hypotensive headache (RR 0.72; 95% CI 0.27-1.90; p = 0.50), additional repair surgery (RR 1.29; 95% CI 0.76-2.2; p = 0.35), and pseudomeningocele (RR 1.29; 95% CI 0.20-8.48; p = 0.79) did not differ significantly. In patients with incidental durotomy following spinal surgery, early mobilization was associated with a lower incidence of pulmonary complications as compared with prolonged bed rest. There was no significant difference between groups in terms of CSF leak, need for additional repair, pseudomeningocele, and hypotensive headache.

Reduction of patients' bed rest time after percutaneous renal biopsy evaluated by the Nursing Outcomes Classification: Randomized clinical trial.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the reduction of patients' bed rest time after percutaneous renal biopsy (PRB) from 24 to 8 h using the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). METHODS: This was a randomized clinical trial registered with Clinical Trials number NCT04629235. The sample comprised 16 patients in the intervention group and 18 in the control group. In the intervention group, the rest time was modified to 8 h, and afterward, the patients were released to ambulate, whereas the control patients remained at absolute rest for 24 h after PRB according to institutional protocol. All patients were observed for 24 h and evaluated at five time points with the outcomes and indicators of the NOC: before the biopsy, immediately after, at the 8th hour, at the 12th hour, and at the 24th hour after the procedure. RESULTS: In the 170 evaluations performed, statistically significant differences were identified in the outcome Comfort status: physical and the indicators "physical well-being and comfortable position." None of the complications were related to reduced bed rest time. CONCLUSIONS: Reducing patients' bed rest time from 24 to 8 h did not increase complications from PRB, and using the NOC provided a standardized and reliable assessment. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Important evidence was identified for patient care after PRB, demonstrating the positive impact on patient comfort and the possibility of reducing costs to the institution and the workload of the multidisciplinary team. In addition, these findings may contribute to strengthening the use of NOC in clinical practice, teaching, and research.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a redução do tempo de repouso no leito de pacientes após biópsia renal percutânea de 24 para 8 horas, por meio de resultados e indicadores clínicos da Nursing Outcomes Classification/NOC. MÉTODOS: Ensaio clínico randomizado registrado no Clinical Trials (NCT04629235). A amostra contou com 16 pacientes no Grupo Intervenção e 18 no Grupo Controle. No Grupo Intervenção o tempo de repouso foi modificado para 8 horas, e após os pacientes foram liberados para deambular; enquanto no Grupo Controle os pacientes se mantiveram em repouso absoluto por 24 horas após biópsia renal percutânea, conforme protocolo institucional. Todos os pacientes foram observados por 24 horas e avaliados em cinco momentos distintos, com resultados e indicadores da Nursing Outcomes Classification/NOC: antes da biópsia, imediatamente após, na 8ª hora, na 12ª hora e na 24ª hora após o procedimento. RESULTADOS: Nas 170 avaliações realizadas foi identificada diferença estatisticamente significativa nos escores do resultado Estado de conforto: físico, e nos indicadores "bem-estar físico e posição confortável". Nenhuma das complicações foi relacionada com a redução do tempo de repouso no leito. CONCLUSÕES: A redução do tempo de repouso no leito dos pacientes de 24 para 8 horas não aumentou as complicações decorrentes da biópsia renal percutânea. O uso da Nursing Outcomes Classification/NOC favoreceu uma avaliação padronizada e fidedigna. IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A PRÁTICA: Identificou-se evidências importantes para o cuidado ao paciente após biópsia renal percutânea, demonstrando o impacto positivo no conforto dos pacientes, além da possibilidade de diminuição de custos à instituição e da sobrecarga no trabalho da equipe multidisciplinar. Somado a isso, estes resultados poderão contribuir para o fortalecimento do uso da Nursing Outcomes Classification/NOC na prática clínica, ensino e pesquisa.

Physical therapy protocols to attenuate skeletal muscle atrophy in critically ill patients: narrative review / Protocolos de terapia física para atenuar la atrofia del músculo esquelético en pacientes críticos: revisión narrativa

SUMMARY: To describe the physical therapy protocols used in critically ill patients to attenuate skeletal muscle atrophy. We conducted a search in PubMed and Embase from inception to November 2020. Observational or experimental studies published in English or Spanish that evaluated the effect of physical therapy protocols on the attenuation of skeletal muscle atrophy in critically ill patients through muscle strength or mass measurement were considered eligible. Studies were only included if they reported a detailed description of the dosing of the interventions. Seventeen studies met the eligibility criteria. We included randomised clinical trials (n = 16) and observational studies (n = 1). The total population of the included studies was 872 critically ill patients. The studies aimed to evaluate the reliability, safety or effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (n = 10) protocols, early mobilisation (n = 3), ergometer training (n = 2), transfers in tilt table (n = 1), and blood flow restriction (n = 1). Physical therapy protocols are part of the critically ill patient's integral management. Strategies such as passive mobilisation, in-bed and out-of-bed transfers, gait training, ergometer training, and neuromuscular electrical stimulation substantially impact critically ill patients' prognoses and quality of life after hospital discharge.

RESUMEN: Describir los protocolos de terapia física usados en pacientes críticos para atenuar la atrofia muscular esquelética. Realizamos una búsqueda en PubMed y Embase desde el inicio hasta noviembre de 2020. Se consideraron los estudios observacionales o experimentales publicados en inglés o español que evaluaron el efecto de los protocolos de terapia física en la atenuación de la atrofia del músculo esquelético en pacientes críticos a través de la medición de la fuerza o la masa muscular. Los estudios solo se incluyeron si informaron una descripción detallada de la dosificación de las intervenciones. Diecisiete estudios cumplieron los criterios de elegibilidad. Se incluyeron ensayos clínicos aleatorizados (n = 16) y estudios observacionales (n = 1). La población total de los estudios incluidos fue de 872 pacientes en estado crítico. Los estudios tuvieron como objetivo evaluar la confiabilidad, seguridad o efectividad de los protocolos de estimulación eléctrica neuromuscular (n = 10), movilización temprana (n = 3), entrenamiento con ergómetro (n = 2), transferencias en mesa basculante (n = 1) y restricción del flujo sanguíneo (n = 1). Los protocolos de terapia física forman parte del manejo integral del paciente crítico. Es- trategias como la movilización pasiva, los traslados dentro y fuera de la cama, el entrenamiento de la marcha, el entrenamiento con ergómetro y la estimulación eléctrica neuromuscular tienen un impacto sustancial en el pronóstico y la calidad de vida de los pacientes críticos después del alta hospitalaria.

Live Birth Rate Following Bed Rest Versus Early Mobilization After Embryo Transfer: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis.

Embryo transfer (ET) is the final step of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Different strategies have been proposed to increase the likelihood of implantation, such as post-transfer bed rest. The objective of this manuscript was to compare the clinical outcomes of embryo transfers after IVF of patients offered rest vs. early ambulation. The patient, intervention, comparison, and outcome(s) (PICO) model was used to select the study population, which included women/couples submitted to IVF and prescribed bed rest or early ambulation. Only studies including live birth (LB) as an outcome were included (www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/CRD42020188716) A systematic search for studies was conducted on MEDLINE, ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library. A librarian coordinated the searches in May 2020, which considered articles published since 1995. All original peer-reviewed articles in English were included, regardless of study design. The search retrieved 27 citations, of which 14 were eligible for full-text analysis and four accepted for inclusion. The studies included data on 21,598 patients/cycles (rest: 20,138; early ambulation: 1,460). Patients prescribed bed rest had an LB rate of 43.6% vs. 52.5% in the individuals not offered bed rest. The meta-analysis yielded an odds ratio of 0.77 (95% CI 0.5-1.2), which means patients on bed rest were 23% less likely to have a LB; nevertheless, this difference was not statistically significant. Considering that there is no difference between the two strategies, there is no evidence to recommend bed rest after embryo transfer.

Aspectos históricos de la clinoterapia / Historical aspects of clinotherapy

Resumen La clinoterapia o "reposo en la cama" fue introducida como tratamiento para dolencias mentales en 1852, con el propósito de inhibir la "conciencia de movimiento" y la excitación periférica y, así, posibilitar un "reposo psíquico". En un primer momento la clinoterapia, junto con otras medidas como el open door y el non restraint, significó una alternativa a las celdas de reclusión, las camisas de fuerza y otros métodos restrictivos. Sin embargo, a la postre se vio reducida al simple aislamiento en una habitación, muchas veces en condiciones muy poco apropiadas.

Summary Clinotherapy or "bed rest" was first introduced as a treatment for mental illness in 1852, with the aim of inhibit the "consciousness of movement" and peripheral excitation, in order to make it possible a "psychological rest". At the beginning, clinotherapy, along with open door and non-restraint principles, meant an alternative to seclusion rooms, straitjackets and other restrictive practices. However, over time it became a simple seclusion in a room, many times in inappropriate conditions.

Consideraciones para el manejo clínico ambulatorio del COVID-19 leve / Considerations for outpatient clinical management of mild COVID-19

La evidencia científica actual ha permitido el desarrollo de diversas guías y protocolos clínicos para el manejo de la enfermedad COVID-19, los cuales en general, no han desarrollado en profundidad las indicaciones para el manejo ambulatorio del cuadro clínico leve. La Organización Mundial de la Salud señala en estos casos, un tratamiento sintomático, incluyendo antipiréticos, analgésicos, además de nutrición y rehidratación adecuadas. Sumado a lo anterior, se debe realizar aislamiento inmediato, el que debe incluir el seguimiento sobre la evolución de síntomas y necesidad de atención médica. El cumplimiento de estas indicaciones es fundamental para una mejor evolución del cuadro; la correcta hidratación y nutrición permiten optimizar la respuesta inmunológica durante la fase aguda de la enfermedad. Se suma, además, la importancia de mantenerse activo y evitar el reposo absoluto en cama, considerando los efectos deletéreos que esto genera sobre diversos sistemas, incluyendo el cardiorrespiratorio. Es evidente que una persona deshidratada, malnutrida, y que genera complicaciones pulmonares asociadas al reposo en cama, tiene mayor riesgo de requerir hospitalización. Todo lo anterior implica que las personas con COVID-19 leve sean educadas respecto al manejo de la enfermedad en casa, haciéndolas parte activa de su tratamiento, considerando además el impacto sobre la salud mental que implica el diagnóstico. En este artículo se desarrollan los fundamentos del manejo sintomático no farmacológico de la enfermedad leve, visibilizando la importancia de su cumplimiento y haciendo responsable a las autoridades y al equipo de salud sobre la educación a la población en este ámbito.

Current scientific evidence has allowed the development of various clinical guidelines and protocols for the management of COVID-19, which in general has not in depth developed indications for ambulatory care of the mild clinic presentation. The World Health Organization indicates in these cases, a symptomatic treatment, including analgesic, antipyretics, as well an adequate nutrition and rehydration. Besides, immediate isolation must be performed, which must include monitoring the symptoms' evolution and the need of medical attention. The correct following of these indications is essential for a better disease evolution; correct hydration and nutrition allow optimizing the immune response during the acute phase of the disease. In addition, the importance of staying active and avoiding absolute bed rest is added, considering the deleterious effects that this generates on various systems, including the cardiorespiratory one. It is evident that a person who is dehydrated, malnourished, and those who generates pulmonary complications associated with bed rest, has a greater risk of requiring hospitalization. All of the above implies that people with mild COVID-19 must be educated about the management of the disease at home, making them an active part of their treatment, also considering the impact on mental health that the diagnosis implies. This article develops the foundations of a non-pharmacological symptomatic management of mild disease, making visible the importance of its achievement and making the authorities and the health team responsible for educating the population in this area.

Experimental Model of HindLimb Suspension-Induced Skeletal Muscle Atrophy in Rodents.

Due to the difficulty of performing research protocols that reproduce human skeletal muscle disuse conditions, an experimental animal model of "hindlimb suspension" (or hindlimb unloading) was developed. This method was created in the 1970s and utilizes rats and mice to mimic space flight and bed rest in humans. It provides an alternative to investigate mechanisms associated with skeletal muscle mass loss and interventions designed to attenuate atrophy induced by hindlimb unloading. The mentioned protocol also allows investigating quality of bones and changes in several physiological parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, plasma or tissue lipid composition, and glycemia.

Efectos del reposo prolongado en adultos mayores hospitalizados / Effects of prolonged rest in hospitalized older adults

Introducción: El reposo prolongado en cama y la disminución de la actividad física en los adultos mayores representan un factor predisponente al desarrollo o al agravamiento de ciertas condiciones patológicas relacionadas en mayor medida con los sistemas cardiovascular, respiratorio y musculoesquelético, en donde hasta el 33% de los adultos mayores hospitalizados presentarán deterioro funcional en al menos una de las actividades de la vida diaria y se incrementa a acerca del 50% cuando superan los 80 años de edad. Objetivo: Describir los principales efectos del reposo en cama sobre los principales sistemas que pudiesen generar un decline funcional en el adulto mayor hospitalizado. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en las bases de datos Pubmed, Scielo y Pedro. Resultados: La información obtenida se organizó de acuerdo a los sistemas corporales principalmente involucrados en el reposo prolongado. Se encontró que la falta de movilidad en adultos mayores provoca un desacondicionamiento físico, además de un agravamiento de la enfermedad que lo llevo a la residencias hospitalarias conllevando a un aumento de los días de hospitalización. Conclusiones: el reposo en cama puede ser minimizado tanto como sea posible y puede ser prescrita una recuperación ambulatoria y actividad física para limitar los efectos de desacondicionamiento del reposo en cama.

Introduction: Prolonged bed rest and decreased physical activity in the elderly represent a predisposing factor to the development or worsening of certain pathological conditions most closely related to the cardiovascular, respiratory and musculoskeletal systems. Functional impairment in less than the activities of daily living and increase by about 50% when they are over 80 years of age. Objective: To describe the main effects of bed rest on the main systems that could generate a functional decrease in the elderly hospitalized. Methodology: A bibliographic review was performed in Pubmed, Scielo and Pedro databases. Results: The information obtained was organized according to the body systems mainly involved in prolonged rest. It was found that the lack of mobility in older adults causes a physical deconditioning, in addition to an aggravation of the disease that leads to hospital residences with an increase in the days of hospitalization. Conclusions: bed rest can be minimized as much as possible and may prescribe an outpatient recovery and physical activity to limit the effects of deconditioning of bed rest.

Excretion of Zinc and Copper Increases in Men during 3 Weeks of Bed Rest, with or without Artificial Gravity.

Background: Zinc and copper have many physiologic functions and little or no functional storage capability, so persistent losses of either element present health concerns, especially during extended-duration space missions.Objectives: We evaluated the effects of short-term bed rest (BR), a spaceflight analog, on copper and zinc metabolism to better understand the role of these nutrients in human adaptation to (simulated) spaceflight. We also investigated the effect of artificial gravity on copper and zinc homeostasis.Methods: Zinc and copper balances were studied in 15 men [mean ± SD age: 29 ± 3 y; body mass index (in kg/m2): 26.4 ± 2.2] before, during, and after 21 d of head-down tilt BR, during which 8 of the participants were subjected to artificial gravity (AG) by centrifugation for 1 h/d. Control subjects were transferred onto the centrifuge but were not exposed to centrifugation. The study was conducted in a metabolic ward; all urine and feces were collected. Data were analyzed by 2-factor repeated-measures ANOVA.Results: Urinary zinc excretion values for control and AG groups were 33% and 14%, respectively, higher during BR than before BR, and fecal zinc excretion values for control and AG groups were 36% and 19%, respectively, higher during BR, resulting in 67% and 82% lower net zinc balances for controls and AG, respectively (both P < 0.01), despite lower nutrient intake during BR. Fecal copper values for control and AG groups were 40% and 33%, respectively, higher during BR than before BR (P < 0.01 for both). Urinary copper did not change during BR, but a 19% increase was observed after BR compared with before BR in the AG group (P < 0.05).Conclusions: The increased fecal excretion of copper and zinc by men during BR suggests that their absorption of these minerals from the diet was reduced, secondary to the release of minerals from bone and muscle. These findings highlight the importance of determining dietary requirements for astronauts on space missions and ensuring provision and intake of all nutrients.

Reducing bed rest time from five to three hours does not increase complications after cardiac catheterization: the THREE CATH Trial / Redução do repouso de cinco para três horas não aumenta complicações após cateterismo cardíaco: THREE CATH Clinical Trial / La reducción del reposo de cinco para tres horas no aumenta las complicaciones después del Clinical Trial Three Cath

Abstract Objective: to compare the incidence of vascular complications in patients undergoing transfemoral cardiac catheterization with a 6F introducer sheath followed by 3-hour versus 5-hour rest. Methods: randomized clinical trial. Subjects in the intervention group (IG) ambulated 3 hours after sheath removal, versus 5 hours in the control group (CG). All patients remained in the catheterization laboratory for 5 hours and were assessed hourly, and were contacted 24, 48, and 72 h after hospital discharge. Results: the sample comprised 367 patients in the IG and 363 in the GC. During cath lab stay, hematoma was the most common complication in both groups, occurring in 12 (3%) IG and 13 (4%) CG subjects (P=0.87). Bleeding occurred in 4 (1%) IG and 6 (2%) CG subjects (P=0.51), and vasovagal reaction in 5 (1.4%) IG and 4 (1.1%) CG subjects (P=0.75). At 24-h, 48-h, and 72-h bruising was the most commonly reported complication in both groups. None of the comparisons revealed any significant between-group differences. Conclusion: the results of this trial show that reducing bed rest time to 3 hours after elective cardiac catheterization is safe and does not increase complications as compared with a 5-hour rest.

Repouso de três horas no leito após cateterismo cardíaco diagnóstico com introdutor 6 french não aumenta complicações decorrentes da punção arterial: ensaio clínico randomizado / Reposo de tres horas en el lecho tras cateterismo cardíaco diagnóstico con introductor 6 French no aumenta complicaciones que decurren de la punción arterial: ensayo clínico randomizado / Three hours rest in bed after diagnostic cardiac catheterization with 6 French introducer does not increase complications of arterial puncture: a randomized clinical trial

A despeito das evidências de que a redução do repouso no leito após cateterismo cardíaco diagnóstico sob abordagem transfemoral não aumenta as complicações decorrentes da punção arterial, esta prática ainda não está incoporada em muitos laboratórios de hemodinâmica (LH), principalmente em centros latino-americanos. Buscando preencher esta lacuna do conhecimento testou-se neste estudo se a redução do tempo de repouso no leito para três horas (GI), comparada a repouso de cinco horas (GC), não aumenta as complicações decorrentes da punção arterial após cateterismo cardíaco diagnóstico eletivo com introdutor 6 Frenche abordagem transfemoral. Foi conduzido um Ensaio clínico randomizado (ECR) no LH de um hospital público e universitário, região metropolitana, do Rio Grande do Sul no período de janeiro de 2011 a setembro de 2013. Foram incluídos pacientes adultos ambulatoriais. O GI deambulou três horas após a retirada do introdutor, e o GC após cinco horas. Todos pacientes permaneceram cinco horas na sala de observação onde foram observados a cada hora, pela equipe de enfermagem, e contatados por telefone em 24, 48 e 72 horas após a alta hospitalar. Foram avaliados os seguintes desfechos: hematoma, sangramento, hematoma retroperitoneal, pseudoaneurisma, formação de fístula arteriovenosa e reação vaso vagal Incluíram-se 730 pacientes: GI (n=367) e GC (n=363), média de idade de 62+11 anos. Durante a permanência dos pacientes na sala de observação do LH o hematoma foi a complicação mais observada em ambos os grupos, 12(3%) no GI e 13(4%) no GC (P=0,87); no GI 11(3%) pacientes apresentaram hematoma classificado como pequeno e 1(0,3%) apresentou hematoma classificado como grande; enquanto que no GC 11(3%) pacientes apresentaram hematoma classificado como pequeno e 2(0,6%) apresentaram hematoma classificado como grande; o sangramento ocorreu em 4(1%) dos pacientes no GI e 6(2%) no GC (P=0,51), tanto no GI como no GC a ocorrência de sangramento foi considerada menor...

Despite evidence that point out that reduction of rest in bed time after diagnostic cardiac catheterization using transfemoral approach does not contribute to complications of arterial puncture, such practice was still not incorporated in to several hemodynamic laboratories (HL), especially in Latin American centers. In order to fill this knowledge gap, this study presents a test for the reduction of rest in bed time of three hours (IG) compared to rest in bed time of five hours (CG), aiming at verifying if the time does not increase complications of arterial puncture after diagnostic cardiac catheterization using 6 French introducer and the transfemoral approach. A randomized clinical trial (RCT) was conducted at a HL in a public university hospital located in the metropolitan area of Rio Grande do Sul/Brazil, between January 2011 and September 2013. Adult outpatients were included in this trial. The IG remained three hours after the withdrawal of the 6 French introducer and the CG remained five hours in the ambulatory. All patients remained five hours in the observation room, being checked every one hour by the nursing staff and being contacted by telephone at 24, 48 and 72 hours after the discharge. The outcomes hematoma, bleeding, retroperitoneal hemorrhage, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula and vasovagal response were assessed. For the study, 730 patients were included and separated into GI (n=367) and GC (n=363), mean age of 62 ± 11. While patients remained in the observation room in the HL, the hematoma was the most common complication observed in both groups, 12(3%) in IG and 13(4%) in CG (P=0.87); in IG, 11(3%) patients presented small hematoma and 1(0.3%) presented large hematoma; in CG, 11(3%) patients presented small hematoma and 2(0.6%) presented large hematoma; bleeding occurred in 4(1%) patients in IG and 6(2%) in CG (P=0.51); both IG and CG presented minor bleeding occurrences...

Con relación a las evidencias de que la reducción del reposo en el lecho tras cateterismo cardíaco diagnóstico bajo abordaje transfemoral no aumenta las complicaciones decurrentes de la punción arterial, esta práctica aún no está incorporada en muchos laboratorios de hemodinámica (LH), principalmente en centros latinoamericanos.
