Benefícios clínicos da terapia de ressincronização cardíaca em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca e fibrilhação auricular

Objetivo: Verificar se os benefícios da TRC nos pacientes em FA são semelhantes aos benefícios nos pacientes em RS. População e Métodos: Estudaram-se 397 pacientes (137 em FA e 260 em RS), com ICC refratária à terapêutica médica, nos quais foi implantado um sistema para TRC, em 4 centros distintos. Incluíram-se os pacientes que, antes do procedimento, apresentavam FEVE ≤ 35% e perturbação da condução, com um QRS≥ 120ms e estivessem em Classe NYHA II a IV. Foram recolhidos os dados relativos às diversas características clínicas, eletrocardiográficas e ecocardiográficas dos pacientes antes da implantação e após o período de seguimento. Registaram-se ainda o número de internamentos por descompensação de IC, mortes e de MACE, ocorridos no período de seguimento. Avaliou-se a ocorrência de resposta ecocardiográfica e clínica (melhoria ≥ 1 classe NYHA). Resultados: Ambos os grupos apresentaram melhorias significativas e comparáveis a nível ecocardiográfico na remodelagem inversa e função ventricular e a nível clínico na classe funcional NYHA. Os pacientes com RS apresentaram redução significativa nos internamentos e maior sobrevida. Nos pacientes em FA, observou-se uma maior ocorrência de MACE. Quando se procedeu a ablação NAV nos pacientes em FA, obteve-se uma sobrevida para mortalidade total comparável à do RS. Por análise univariada, a presença de FA, a ausência de ablação NAV, género masculino, história familiar de morte súbita são preditores de mortalidade total e MACE. A história familiar de morte súbita e a HTP foram preditores de morte cardíaca. Na análise multivariada, apenas a idade, presença de FA, FEVE e NYHA pós-TRC foram preditores de mortalidade total. Os preditores de mortalidade cardíaca foram a FEVE, NYHA e diâmetro TD do VE pós-TRC. A FEVE e o diâmetro e volumes telesistólicos após a TRC revelaram-se capazes de predizer a resposta clínica pela melhoria da classe funcional NYHA Conclusão: Os pacientes em FA submetidos a TRC têm uma sobrevida semelhante aos pacientes em RS, se forem submetidos a ablação NAV. Porém, os benefícios na capacidade funcional e a nível ecocardiográfico são semelhantes aos pacientes em RS, independentemente da preseça da ablação NAV.

La pluriappartenenza nella lingua speciale della terapia con il mezzo del cavallo

Pratica riabilitativa innovativa che associa alle cure tradizionali l’interazione con l’animale, la terapia con il mezzo del cavallo ha riscosso negli ultimi anni un notevole successo ed è oggi una realtà sempre più popolare e riconosciuta anche in Italia. Autorità nel campo e nella ricerca rimangono però Paesi quali Stati Uniti, Francia e Belgio, a cui si devono molte delle pubblicazioni scientifiche a riguardo. Il presente elaborato ha per oggetto una riflessione sulla lingua speciale impiegata nel settore, con particolare attenzione alla multidisciplinarità e alla pluriappartenenza che ne caratterizzano la terminologia in contesti di comunicazione esperto-esperto e che possono generare notevoli difficoltà traduttive. Punto di riferimento per l’analisi linguistica è il volume “Thérapies avec le cheval”, scritto ed edito dalla F.E.N.T.A.C. (Fédération nationale de thérapies avec le cheval), di cui sono stati tradotti alcuni estratti a dimostrazione di quanto osservato. Il lavoro si articola in sei capitoli: il primo traccia una panoramica del settore della TMC in Italia, con rimandi alla realtà francese; il secondo, dedicato allo studio della terminologia, presenta una prima sezione incentrata sulla multidisciplinarità e una seconda sulla pluriappartenenza; il terzo capitolo contiene il testo a fronte tratto dal volume già menzionato e il quarto la proposta di traduzione; il quinto è di commento alle scelte traduttive; il sesto è riservato alle conclusioni.

A IMPORTÂNCIA DA FAMÍLIA NA RECUPERAÇÃO DE PACIENTES INTERNADOS NA UNIDADE DE TERAPIA INTENSIVA

A Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) é um setor do hospital destinado ao atendimento de pacientes em estado crítico, que requer cuidados complexos e controles rígidos e, por isso sempre gera um ambiente estressante, não só para a equipe que atende ao paciente mas também aos familiares e portanto induz muitas vezes ao processo de depressão. Estes fatores leva-nos a abordar a necessidade de humanização, no atendimento ao paciente, bem como de seus familiares. A preocupação com a humanização deve estar presente nas equipes de enfermagem como filosofia-diretriz e deve ser um indicador de qualidades desses serviços. Humanizar a UTI significa cuidar do paciente como um todo, englobando o contexto bio-psico-social, incorporando os valores sociais e da família, as esperanças, os culturais e as preocupações pessoais. A humanização deve fazer parte da filosofia da enfermagem. O ambiente físico, os recursos materiais e tecnológicos são importantes, porém não mais significativos do que a natureza humana. O pensamento em ações da equipe de enfermagem, alimentam a reflexão crítica e a construção de uma realidade mais humana e menos agressiva e hostil para as pessoas que diariamente convivem no hospital. A hospitalização altera a rotina não só do paciente mas também dos familiares. De certa forma, a própria hospitalização pode ser vivida como abandono ou morte, à medida que implica um afastamento das pessoas queridas, da casa, como também uma invasão de privacidade. Este trabalho procurou Identificar as necessidades dos familiares ou visitantes, frente à equipe de saúde durante o período de internação na UTI e avaliar o grau de satisfação em relação à qualidade das informações e ao suporte dados à família ou visitante. Os resultados indicam que no Hospital Heliópolis, onde o trabalho foi conduzido, os entrevistados estavam satisfeitos com a equipe multiprofissional pois os pacientes eram bem cuidados, havendo preocupação com os pacientes, e que os médicos, além de compreensivos e competentes, forneceram as informações de modo que eles pudessem compreender,. Porém deve-se ressaltar que 48% dos entrevistados apontam a necessidade de apoio psicológico.(AU)

INTERVENÇÃO PSICOMOTORA LÚDICA EM CRIANÇAS COM DIFICULDADES DE APRENDIZAGEM

Este estudo investiga evidências da influência de uma intervenção psicomotora lúdica na construção do pensamento operatório concreto e desempenho neuromotor de alunos com dificuldade de aprendizagem da 2ª série do ensino fundamental, de escola pública do Estado de São Paulo. Utiliza-se de método experimental. Manipula a intervenção psicomotora lúdica, (Variável Independente-VI), com o objetivo de verificar a sua possível influência no desempenho cognitivo relativo a noções de Conservação, Classificação, Seriação e Aritmética, assim como no neuromotor relativo a Agilidade e Orientação Direita-Esquerda (Variáveis Dependentes - VDs) - totalizando 6 VDs. A amostra compõe-se por 18 escolares, na faixa etária de 7 a 11 anos, de ambos os sexos, organizados em dois grupos: experimental (N=9) e controle (N=9). O procedimento experimental desenvolve-se em 16 sessões, constando de três etapas. Aos dois grupos são aplicados, individualmente, pré-teste (1ª etapa) e pós-teste (3ª etapa), constando de duas sessões individuais em cada etapa, com a utilização dos seguintes instrumentos: Provas Operatórias de Piaget, teste Piaget-Head de Orientação Direita-Esquerda e subteste de Aritmética do teste de Desempenho Escolar de Stein, teste de Shuttle Run . A 2ª etapa, exclusiva do grupo experimental, consta da intervenção psicomotora lúdica, em 12 sessões grupais de 50 minutos cada. Utilizou-se da prova de Wilcoxon, para comparação dos resultados entre os grupos. Os resultados referentes às noções de Classificação ( p=0,010), Seriação (p=0,034), Aritmética (p=0,157) e Orientação Direita- Esquerda (p=0,007), indicam que ocorreu uma diferença significativa estatisticamente, considerando-se que os participantes apresentaram desempenho superior nos pós-testes. Nas demais provas, foi observado melhor desempenho nos dois grupos, o que, portanto, não pode ser atribuído à intervenção. Conclui-se que o objetivo do trabalho foi atingido, visto que o programa mostrou-se eficiente para desenvolver o pensamento operatório e o neuromotor em relação a Orientação Direita-Esquerda dos participantes.(AU)

Terapia Assistida por Animais:Uma Abordagem Lúdica Em Reabilitação Clínica De Pessoas Com Deficiência Intelectual

A TAA é uma técnica na qual o animal é parte integrante do processo terapêutico. Enquadra-se em uma abordagem multidisciplinar, que requer a intervenção de especialistas, na qual o cão ocupa uma posição mediadora entre o paciente e os objetivos terapêuticos. A pesquisa abrange 46 sujeitos, sendo 20 pacientes, 20 pais e/ou responsáveis e seis terapeutas, e desenvolve-se em uma clínica de Reabilitação Clínica de ONG em cidade de grande porte. Foram observadas 12 intervenções em TAA, aplicada a escala com foco em sociabilização baseada em Achenbach (ASEBA)e realizada entrevista junto aos pais/responsáveis e entrevistados os terapeutas em TAA. Os resultados dos instrumentos utilizados convergem no sentido de apontara validade da TAA como facilitadora da sociabilização das crianças/adolescentes com deficiência intelectual, com aumento da motivação e engajamento às intervenções, assim como, com repercussões positivas em sua autonomia, em seu humor e em sua organização cognitiva temporal e narrativa linguística. Os terapeutas ressaltam o componente lúdico presente nas intervenções, o qual facilita atingir seus objetivos terapêuticos. Já para os pais dos atendidos por essa abordagem, de forma unanime referem que filhos demonstram motivação e maior autonomia frente aos atendimentos. O estudo sugere novas investigações que possam dar suporte à divulgação dessa modalidade de terapia.

Análise imunoistoquímica após terapia fotodinâmica com cloro-alumínio ftalocianina em tecidos gengivais de humanos

Although photodynamic therapy have been used as a useful tool over the past 30 years in oncology, few clinical trials have been conducted in dentistry. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses non - toxic photosensitizers and selective which are administered in target cells followed by local application of visible light, producing reactive oxygen species capable of causing cell death by apoptosis or necrosis, injured the local vasculature, and exert important effects on the im mune system. New generations of photosensitizing agents, such as nanoparticulate phthalocyanines, has shown excellent results in antitumor and antibacterial activity . In this context, the present work constitutes the first clinical protocol of local appli cation of nanoemulsion chloro - aluminum phthalocyanine (AlClFc) followed by irradiation in human gingiva, and analyzed descriptively and comparatively , by means of immunohistochemistry , the expression of RANK , RANKL , OPG and VEGF in a split - mouth model . Eight healthy volunteers with clinical indication for extraction were included in the study . Seven days before the extraction, was injected in the gingiva of participants, 5 μ M of nanoemulsion AlClFc followed by irra diation with diode laser (660nm , 7 J/cm2 ), the contralateral side was used as control. Tissue specimens were removed seven days after the TFD is performed. Tissues sample were divided into two groups (test and con trol groups) for histological and immunohistochemical analysis. Patients were monitored at days, 0, 7, 14 and 30 to assess adverse effects of the therapy. Vascular alterations were seen in gingival samples that received PDT. Areas of edema and vascular con gestion, and intense vascularization were viewed . Additionally, dystrophic calcification in subepithelial region were observed in the test group. The results showed a similar pattern of immunostaining scores of RANK, RANKL and VEGF between the test and co ntrol groups, with no statistically significant difference (p = 0.317, p = 0.777, p = 0 .814, respectively). RANK and RANKL exhibited weak or absent immunostaining in most specimens analyzed. There was n o immunostaining for OPG. VEGF showed moderate to stro ng immunostaining in specimens from the test group. In addition, the clinical study showed that therapy was well tolerated by all patients. Adverse effects were short - time and completely reversible. Taken together, the results presented in this study showe d that PDT mediated by nanoemulsion containing AlClPc is safe for clinical application in gingival tissue and suggests that a strong immunostaining for VEGF after therapy .

Nursing Activities Score: avaliação da carga de trabalho de enfermagem em unidade de terapia intensiva adulto

The sizing of nursing human resources is an essential management tool to meet the needs of the patients and the institution. Regarding to the Intensive Care Unit, where the most critical patients are treated and the most advanced life-support equipments are used, requiring a high number of skilled workers, the use of specific indicators to measure the workload of the team becomes necessary. The Nursing Activities Score is a validated instrument for measuring nursing workload in the Intensive Care Unit that has demonstrated effectiveness. It is a cross-sectional study with the primary objective of assessing the workload of nursing staff in an adult Intensive Care Unit through the application of the Nursing Activities Score. The study was conducted in a private hospital specialized in the treatment of patients with cancer, which is located in the city of Natal (Rio Grande do Norte – Brazil). The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the hospital (Protocol number 558.799; CAAE 24966013.7.0000.5293). For data collection, a form of sociodemographic characteristics of the patients was used; the Nursing Activities Score was used to identify the workload of nursing staff; and the instrument of Perroca, which classifies patients and provides data related to the their need for nursing care, was also used. The collected data were analyzed using a statistical package. The categorical variables were described by absolute and relative frequency, while the number by median and interquartile range. Considering the inferential approach, the Spearman test, the Wald chi-square, Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney test were used. The statistically significant variables were those with p values <0.05. The evaluation of the overall averages of NAS, considering the first 15 days of hospitalization, was performed by the analysis of Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE), with adjust for the variable length of hospitalization. The sample consisted of 40 patients, in the period of June to August 2014. The results showed a mean age of 62,1 years (±23,4) with a female predominance (57,5%). The most frequent type of treatment was clinical (60,0%), observing an average stay of 6,9 days (±6,5). Considering the origin, most patients (35%) came from the Surgical Center. There was a mortality rate of 27,5%. 277 measures of NAS score and Perroca were performed, and the averages of 69,8% (±24,1) and 22,7% (±4.2) were obtained, respectively. There was an association between clinical outcome and value of the Nursing Activities Score in 24 hours (p <0.001), and between the degree of dependency of patients and nursing workload (rp 0,653, p<0,001). The achieved workload of the nursing staff, in the analyzed period, was presented high, showing that hospitalized patients required a high demand for care. These findings create subsidies for sizing of staff and allocation of human resources in the sector, in order to achieve greater safety and patient satisfaction as a result of intensive care, as well as an environment conducive to quality of life for the professionals

Estudo do domínio segurança/proteção da NANDA internacional em pacientes de unidade de terapia intensiva

The study aimed to analyze the field of nursing diagnoses safety / protection of NANDA International present in patients in the Intensive Care Unit. This is a crosssectional study in intensive care complex of a university hospital in northeastern Brazil. The research took place in two stages. The first step was to collect data through an interview form and physical examination, with 86 patients admitted to the unit, during the months of December 2013 to May 2014. Spreadsheets were built in Microsoft Office Excel 2010 Software in which were marked by the researcher of this study, the presence or absence of defining characteristics, related factors and risk factors of the 31 studied diagnoses. In the second stage, held between July and August 2014, the sheets were sent to three diagnosticians, previously trained to perform the diagnostic inference. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics for the diagnoses that showed higher frequencies than 50%, using IBM SPSS version 20.0 for Statistic Windows.O project was approved by the 440/414 and Presentation Certificate for Ethics Assessment number 22955113 .2.0000.5292. The results indicated the presence of 29 field of nursing diagnoses safety / protection in hospital clientele in the Intensive Care Unit, of which five were present in 100% of patients, namely: Risk of contamination, injury risk, falls risk,risk of allergic response and risk of trauma. Diagnoses that presented more frequently than 50% were: Risk of infection, dry eye risk, poisoning risk, vascular trauma risk, impaired skin integrity, impaired dentition, bleeding risk, risk imbalance in body temperature, Risk perioperative positioning injury, impaired tissue integrity, peripheral neurovascular dysfunction Risk, Risk adverse response to contrast media with iodine, shock Hazard and Risk of aspiration. For these analyzes, we identified 35 risk factors, 11 defining characteristics and three related factors showed statistically significant association with the studied diagnoses. For diagnostics: Risk of contamination, injury risk, falls risk, allergic response risk, trauma Risk, Risk of infection, dry eye risk and risk poisoning there was no association with any of their risk factors. We conclude that most of the area of nursing diagnoses safety / protection feature is prevalent in critically ill patients, with special attention to the risk diagnoses. There was a significant association between these diagnoses and its components. It is noteworthy, therefore, that the lifting of this profile contributes relevant clues to the inference of the priority nursing diagnoses domain safety / protection in the study population, supporting the practice of nursing and stimulating knowledge on the subject.

A terapia comunitária e a vivência de estudantes de medicina: uma estratégia de ensino aprendizagem do cuidado humanizado na ESF?

Before the scenario full of criticism about a medical model that gives privilege to the diseases and not to the diseased, there are many arguments that defend the need of redeem the humanized relationship between doctor and patient. It became indispensable to mold during the medical graduation a professional capable of perform a special care, less instrumental and more humanized; however, even though the advances of the pedagogical program of the medical graduation, we still face numerous challenges in the process of molding. This study has as general goal to understand if the students medicine experience with the Integrative Community Therapy (TCI) at the Primary Attention – APS/Family Healthy Strategy-ESF, presents potential to configure itself while strategy of teaching-learning to the integral and humanized care. It was held a qualitative research with the students of the medical graduation from the tenth to the twelfth semester that had experience with the TCI, as part of the Boarding of Family and Community Medicine – MFC. We used interviews with script and we resorted to analyze the narratives to Gadamerian Hermeneutics. It was possible to find that before join the boarding of MFC, the students were unaware the TCI and their preconceptions lined up with depreciated character. The experience with the TCI enabled the reframing of the prejudices and the build of new concepts. Internship in ESF and participate of TCI revealed potential to learning of the humanized care by the practical exercise with experiences that privilege the built of ties; the autonomy of the patient; the fulfillment of the longitudinality at the care of the patient; the acknowledgment of the power of resilience of the patients, at the strength of the collective, at the pain sharing, at the strength of a good communication, at the gains of qualified listening exercise. The absence of models of what to do was replaced by experiences of pains and joys at the learning of becoming a doctor. The pains spoke of the structural difficulties (inputs), at the get along with the socials vulnerabilities of the users and the difficult of perform a good communication with the patients. The joys were experienced at the finding of the humanized care exercise. Questions as structural difficulties, low number of people with TCI degree, a shortly experience of with TCI, show up as limitations to its utilization as pedagogical tool. In turn, the reflective potential is capable of cause resignifications about the know-how before the pain of the other being very much present at the narratives, signaling the potential of the learning of TCI. Therefore, this study advocate that the participation of the students at the TCI, beyond the power of offering the students a teaching-learning strategy to the humanized care, represents the possibility of enlarge the horizons of those future doctors at a glance much more conscious of the difficulties and potential of a professional at the ESF, contributing to the graduation of more sensitized professionals and prepared to perform an integral and humanized approach of the person and his/her community, contributing to an APS/ESF more resolute and rewarding to everyone.

Fatores determinantes da near miss materna em uma unidade de terapia intensiva obstétrica: avaliação das competências profissionais da área médica

Objective: Evaluate the determinants of morbidity and mortality in an obstetric intensive care unit and professional medical skills of students/residents at a university hospital. Methods: observational cross - sectional with 492 pregnant/pue rperal women and 261 students/residents. Patients were admitted to the obstetric intensive care unit during a year, being informed about the proposals of the study and a questionnaire was applied. The analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel 2013 and G raphPad6. Chi - square tests were used to evaluate risk factors and student t test evaluates resident/students' skills concerning the cognitive test and the Mini - Cex. Results: the main risk factors to near miss were: non - white race (OR = 2.527; RR = 2.342) ; marital status(married women) (OR = 7.968; RR = 7.113) , schooling (primary) (OR = 3.177 ; RR = 2.829) , from country town (OR = 4.643 ; RR = 4.087), low income (OR = 7014 ; RR = 5.554) , gestational hypertensive disorders (OR = 16.35 ; RR = 13.27) , re alization of pre - natal (OR = 5.023 ; RR = 4.254) and C - section before labor(OR = 39.21 ; RR = 31.25). In cognitive/Mini - cex analysis were noted significant difference in the performance of students on the subject (3.75 ± 0.93, 4.03 ± 0.94 and 4.88 ± 0.35). We still observed the best performance of residents, when compared to graduation students (p < 0.01). Conclusions: the prevalence of near miss was associated with socioeconomic/clinics factors and care issues, revealing the importance of interventions to improve these indicators. In addition, we suggest a better curriculum insertion of this subject in the medical Course disciplines due the importance to avoid the near miss through of adequacy of medical education.

Gasto com a internação de idosos em unidades de terapia intensiva

Introduction: Population aging in Brazil underscores the need to discuss the proper management of the budget allocated in health field, especially in the sectors of high complexity, where coexist costly procedures, limited resources and the need for cost containment. In the other hand, demand is growing in a way directly proportional to the increase in the number of elderly in country. Objective: In this way, this research had as main objective to analyze the costs resulting from the admission of elderly in intensive care units (ICU) and its associated factors. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach and featured as a descriptive and exploratory research. Data were collected from medical records of elderly hospitalized in ICU from a brazilian city called Natal-RN, between november first, 2013 and january, 31 of 2014. The variables collected relate to the socio demographic profile, morbidity framework and characterization of hospitalization. The dependent variable was categorized by quartile 75 in high and low expense of hospitalization and submitted to chi-square test with the independent variables of the survey. Associations with p value <0.20 in the bivariate analysis were submitted to the technique of multiple logistic regression. We opted for the construction of three regression models from the above algorithm: general regression model, composed by all 493 hospitalizations in the study, other made with 181 individuals admitted in health public system (SUS) and a third one related to 312 cases from private service in health area. Results: In the general regression model, the variables respiratory diseases, hospitalizations in the private system, disoriented patient and previous stroke were associated with greater probability of high spending in the ICU. In the other hand, in SUS kind of hospitalizations, this probability was associated with disoriented patient, 80 years old or more, sepsis and admission for clinical reason. In the cases from the private network health, the high expenditure was associated with respiratory disease, mechanical ventilation, hospitalization for clinical reason and disoriented patients. Conclusion: The increased expenditure on hospitalization of elderly in intensive care depends on the clinical conditions of individuals. This highlights the importance of avoiding hospitalizations due to diseases sensitive to primary care by health preventive actions and providing comprehensive care to the elderly. In addition, obtaining different explanatory models, according to kind hospital funding, demonstrates the importance of the organization in health services related to composition of costs of hospitalization among the elderly. Another question founded was the need that to improve the funding, we must use rationally the available resources by avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations of elderly people in the extremes of severity. On this kind of precarious funding, ICU hospitalization of elderly non-critical or in a terminal state can compromise the quality of services provided to those who really need intensive care.
