Prática odontológica no Programa Saúde da Família voltada para os pacientes portadores de hipertensão

O trabalho do cirurgião dentista como membro da equipe multiprofissional da Estratégia de Saúde da Família deve ser participativo nas ações de integralidade contempladas dentre os princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde. O cirurgião dentista deverá desempenhar ações promocionais e preventivas na vida das pessoas que utilizam e dependem do serviço público de saúde. Assim, é relevante destacar sua importância na abordagem clínica do paciente em crise hipertensiva em diferentes episódios da assistência odontológica. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever o papel do CD no atendimento aos pacientes com crise hipertensiva e uso de anti-hipertensivos bem como com complicações cardiovasculares em tratamento e acompanhamento na ESF. O caminho metodológico se norteou na revisão bibliográfica narrativa tanto em artigos, livros, trabalhos de conclusões de curso de graduação, pós-graduação. Os artigos foram levantados no SciELO e na LILACS, com os descritores: Hipertensão, odontologia comunitária e Programa Saúde da Família. A prática de educação continuada em primeiros socorros pelos cirurgiões dentistas não é comum, mas é cabível destacar que a realização do curso de suporte básico de vida pode ajudar a salvar vidas em seus consultórios. Manter a calma e o equilíbrio durante os atendimentos de urgência também é um dado relevante apontado nesta pesquisa. Concluiu-se que o cirurgião dentista pode prestar primeiros socorros, como qualquer outro profissional de saúde e cabe às universidades incluir esta prática nos seus currículos, assim como a participação em palestras e a implementação de educação continuada junto aos profissionais no campo de trabalho.

Consenso brasileiro para a abordagem clínica e tratamento do hipotireoidismo subclínico em adultos: recomendações do Departamento de Tireoide da Sociedade Brasileira de Endocrinologia e Metabologia

INTRODUCTION: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), defined as elevated concentrations of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) despite normal levels of thyroid hormones, is highly prevalent in Brazil, especially among women and the elderly. Although an increasing number of studies have related SCH to an increased risk of coronary artery disease and mortality, there have been no randomized clinical trials verifying the benefit of levothyroxine treatment in reducing these risks, and the treatment remains controversial. OBJECTIVE: This consensus, sponsored by the Thyroid Department of the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism and developed by Brazilian experts with extensive clinical experience with thyroid diseases, presents these recommendations based on evidence for the clinical management of SCH patients in Brazil. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After structuring the clinical questions, the search for evidence in the literature was initially performed in the MedLine-PubMed database and later in the Embase and SciELO - Lilacs databases. The strength of evidence was evaluated according to the Oxford classification system and established based on the experimental design used, considering the best available evidence for each question and the Brazilian experience. RESULTS: The topics covered included SCH definition and diagnosis, natural history, clinical significance, treatment and pregnancy, and the consensus issued 29 recommendations for the clinical management of adult patients with SCH. CONCLUSION: Treatment with levothyroxine was recommended for all patients with persistent SCH with serum TSH values > 10 mU/L and for certain patient subgroups.

Utilização dos testes de função tireoidiana na prática clínica

Laboratory tests are essential for accurate diagnosis and cost-effective management of thyroid disorders. When the clinical suspicion is strong, hormonal levels just confirms the diagnosis. However, in most patients, symptoms are subtle and unspecific, so that only biochemical tests can detect the disorder. The objective of this article is to do a critical analysis of the appropriate use of the most important thyroid function tests, including serum concentrations of thyrotropin (TSH), thyroid hormones and antithyroid antibodies. Through a survey in the MedLine database, we discuss the major pitfalls and interferences related to daily use of these tests and recommendations are presented to optimize the use of these diagnostic tools in clinical practice.
