Interferences and interventions after acute myocardial infarction: an integrative review of the literature

Objective: to identify the interference of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the quality of life of affected, interventions and understanding by health professionals. Method: an integrative review, aiming to answer << What are the interference in the quality of life of post-AMI customers? >> and << What are the interventions proposed in order to minimize them? >>. We selected 12 articles available in the LILACS database, between 2000 and 2011, based on the criteria of inclusion and exclusion. Results: we have selected a total of 12 articles selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria pre-established. We obtained a classification into two themes (1) interference with quality of life and (2) proposals for interventions to minimize interference. Conclusions: highlights the importance of patient involvement in care plan well structured, multidisciplinary team integration and quantity of publications by heterogeneous country on the subject.

Preoperative therapy restores ventilatory parameters and reduces length of stay in patients undergoing myocardial revascularization

Introduction: The frequency of surgical procedures has increased steadily in recent decades, including the myocardial revascularization.Objectives: To demonstrate the importance of physiotherapy in the preoperative period of cardiac surgery in relation to the reduction of hospital stay, changes in lung volumes and respiratory muscle strength.Methods: We conducted a prospective study with patients undergoing myocardial revascularization, the Hospital das Clinicas da Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)/Botucatu - SP. We evaluated 70 patients of both genders, aged between 40 and 75 years, subdivided into two groups: group I - 35 patients of both genders, who received a written protocol guidance, breathing exercises and respiratory muscle training in the preoperative period and group II - 35 patients of both genders, who received only orientation of the ward on the day of surgery. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of UNESP /Botucatu - SP.Results: Maximal inspiratory pressure in third postoperative day and fifth postoperative day and significant difference between groups, being better for the intervention group. Expiratory pressure was significant in fifth postoperative day in the intervention group compared to controls. The difference of length of hospital stay in the postoperative was found between the groups with shorter hospital stay in the group receiving preoperative therapy.Conclusion: Physical therapy plays an important role in the preoperative period, so that individuals in the intervention group more readily restored the parameters evaluated before surgery, in addition, there was a decrease in the time of the postoperative hospital stay. Thus, it is thought the cost-effectiveness of a program of preoperative physiotherapy.
