Étude de prévention de la thrombose veineuse associée au cathéter veineux central de type PICC chez les patients en oncologie recevant une chimiothérapie

Nous avons mené une étude prospective randomisée dans le but de comparer l'effet de l'irrigation du cathéter de type PICC avec deux types d'anticoagulants: Héparine standard et Tinzaparine, une héparine de faible poids moléculaire. Notre étude s'adresse aux patients de la clinique externe d'oncologie de l'hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont. Entre début Mai 2005 et Mars 2008, nous avons recruté 131 patients dont 70 ont été randomisés. Parmi les 61 patients exclus, 23 n'ont pas rencontré les critères d'inclusion, 30 ont refusé de participer et 8 ne sont pas inclus pour d'autres raisons. Sur les 70, 36 sujets sont randomisés dans le groupe Héparine standard et 34 dans le groupe Tinzaparine. La population en intention de traiter comprend 65 sujets dont 32 dans le groupe Héparine standard et 33 dans le groupe Tinzaparine. Le médicament a été administré pendant un mombre maximal de 30 jours et les sujets ont été suivis pendant 90 jours. La thrombose veineuse associée au cathéter (TVAC) a été objectivée par une phlébographie ou une échographie-Doppler à la fin de la période de 30 jours suivant l'installation du cathéter. L'incidence de la TVAC sur 30 jours est de 14,39 par 1000 cathéter-jours (IC à 95%:[9,0;19,79]/1000 cathéter-jours ou 41,5% (27/65). L'incidence de la thrombose veineuse profonde (TVP) symptômatique du membre supérieur sur la période de suivi de 90 jours est de 0,41 par 1000 cathéter-jours (IC à 95%:[0,08;0,81]/1000 cathéter-jours ou 3% (2/65). Nous n'avons observé aucune différence entre les deux groupes par rapport à la fréquence de la TVAC ni de la TVP. Nous ne pouvons conclure à une différence dans l'efficacité de la Tinzaparine par rapport à l'Héparine standard dans la prévention de la TVAC.

PICC vs Catéter central insertado en vena subclavia en pacientes críticos

[Es]Introducción: actualmente, en servicios como UCIs, quirófanos y Urgencias cada vez es más común el empleo de CVCS y PICC. Ambos están asociados a graves complicaciones como CLABSI, TVP, EP, arritmia, etc. Dado que la enfermería juega un papel importante tanto en la inserción de estos dispositivos, como en el mantenimiento y prevención de las adversidades, es necesario poseer los conocimientos y habilidades adecuados para su afrontamiento. Objetivo y metodología: determinar cuál de los dos supone menor riesgo de complicaciones en pacientes críticos mediante la evidencia científica y utilizando la EBE. Para ello se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica de estudios encontrados en bases de datos como Pubmed, Cochrane y Cinhal mediante la combinación de términos MeSH y palabras clave con operadores booleanos. Resultados y discusión: se han incluido en total 13 publicaciones (6 RS, 4 estudios de cohorte, 1 ECA y 2 GPC), de las cuales 3 poseen calidad alta, 3 media y 5 baja. Tanto los PICC como los CVCS implican diversas complicaciones, divididas en infecciosas, trombo-embolicas y mecánicas/otras. Existe insuficiente evidencia científica y gran heterogeneidad entre los artículos, lo que dificulta su extrapolación. Conclusiones: en pacientes críticos los PICC poseen mayor riesgo de TVP, los CVCS de complicaciones mecánicas, y ambos presentan tasas similares de CLABSI. Es importante escoger de forma individualizada el catéter a implantar, estimando los riesgos-beneficios de cada uno. Los cuidados preventivos son fundamentales en la reducción de estas contingencias. Son necesarios más estudios prospectivos comparativos.

Vibrational spectroscopy of phthalocyanine and naphthalocyanine in sandwich-type (na)phthalocyaninato and porphyrinato rare earth complexes : (Part 10) The infrared and Raman characteristics of phthalocyanine in heteroleptic bis(phthalocyaninato) rare earth complexes with decreased molecular symmetry

The infrared (IR) spectroscopic data for a series of eleven heteroleptic bis(phthalocyaninato) rare earth complexes MIII(Pc)[Pc(α-OC5H11)4] (M = Sm–Lu, Y) [H2Pc = unsubstituted phthalocyanine, H2Pc(α-OC5H11)4 = 1,8,15,22-tetrakis(3-pentyloxy)phthalocyanine] have been collected with 2 cm−1 resolution. Raman spectroscopic properties in the range of 500–1800 cm−1 for these double-decker molecules have also been comparatively studied using laser excitation sources emitting at 632.8 and 785 nm. Both the IR and Raman spectra for M(Pc)[Pc(α-OC5H11)4] are more complicated than those of homoleptic bis(phthalocyaninato) rare earth analogues due to the decreased molecular symmetry of these double-decker compounds, namely C4. For this series, the IR Pc√− marker band appears as an intense absorption at 1309–1317 cm−1, attributed to the pyrrole stretching. With laser excitation at 632.8 nm, Raman vibrations derived from isoindole ring and aza stretchings in the range of 1300–1600 cm−1 are selectively intensified. In contrast, when excited with laser radiation of 785 nm, the ring radial vibrations of isoindole moieties and dihedral plane deformations between 500 and 1000 cm−1 for M(Pc)[Pc(α-OC5H11)4] intensify to become the strongest scatterings. Both techniques reveal that the frequencies of pyrrole stretching, isoindole breathing, isoindole stretchings, aza stretchings and coupling of pyrrole and aza stretchings depend on the rare earth ionic size, shifting to higher energy along with the lanthanide contraction due to the increased ring-ring interaction across the series. The assignments of the vibrational bands for these compounds have been made and discussed in relation to other unsubstituted and substituted bis(phthalocyaninato) rare earth analogues, such as M(Pc)2 and M(OOPc)2 [H2OOPc = 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis(octyloxy)phthalocyanine].

Vibrational spectroscopy of phthalocyanine and naphthalocyanine in sandwich-type (na)phthalocyaninato and porphyrinato rare earth complexes: Part 14. The infrared and Raman characteristics of phthalocyanine in “pinwheel-like” homoleptic bis[1,8,15,22-tetrakis(3-pentyloxy)phthalocyaninato] rare earth(III) double-decker complexes

The infrared (IR) spectroscopic data and Raman spectroscopic properties for a series of 13 “pinwheel-like” homoleptic bis(phthalocyaninato) rare earth complexes M[Pc(α-OC5H11)4]2 [M = Y and Pr–Lu except Pm; H2Pc(α-OC5H11)4 = 1,8,15,22-tetrakis(3-pentyloxy)phthalocyanine] have been collected and comparatively studied. Both the IR and Raman spectra for M[Pc(α-OC5H11)4]2 are more complicated than those of homoleptic bis(phthalocyaninato) rare earth analogues, namely M(Pc)2 and M[Pc(OC8H17)8]2, but resemble (for IR) or are a bit more complicated (for Raman) than those of heteroleptic counterparts M(Pc)[Pc(α-OC5H11)4], revealing the decreased molecular symmetry of these double-decker compounds, namely S8. Except for the obvious splitting of the isoindole breathing band at 1110–1123 cm−1, the IR spectra of M[Pc(α-OC5H11)4]2 are quite similar to those of corresponding M(Pc)[Pc(α-OC5H11)4] and therefore are similarly assigned. With laser excitation at 633 nm, Raman bands derived from isoindole ring and aza stretchings in the range of 1300–1600 cm−1 are selectively intensified. The IR spectra reveal that the frequencies of pyrrole stretching and pyrrole stretching coupled with the symmetrical CH bending of –CH3 groups are sensitive to the rare earth ionic size, while the Raman technique shows that the bands due to the isoindole stretchings and the coupled pyrrole and aza stretchings are similarly affected. Nevertheless, the phthalocyanine monoanion radical Pc′− IR marker band of bis(phthalocyaninato) complexes involving the same rare earth ion is found to shift to lower energy in the order M(Pc)2 > M(Pc)[Pc(α-OC5H11)4] > M[Pc(α-OC5H11)4]2, revealing the weakened π–π interaction between the two phthalocyanine rings in the same order.

Raman spectroscopic characteristics of phthalocyanine and naphthalocyanine in sandwich-type phthalocyaninato and porphyrinato rare earth complexes Part 5. – Raman spectroscopic characteristics of naphthalocyanine in mixed [tetrakis(4-tert-butylphenyl)porphyrinato]-(naphthalocyaninato) rare earth double-deckers

Raman spectra were recorded in the range 400–1800 cm−1 for a series of 15 mixed \[tetrakis(4-tert-butylphenyl)porphyrinato](2,3-naphthalocyaninato) rare earth double-deckers M(TBPP)(Nc) (M = Y; La–Lu except Pm) using laser excitation at 632.8 and 785 nm. Comparisons with bis(naphthalocyaninato) rare earth counterparts reveal that the vibrations of the metallonaphthalocyanine M(Nc) fragment dominate the Raman features of M(TBPP)(Nc). When excited with radiation of 632.8 nm, the most intense vibration appears at about 1595 cm−1, due to the naphthalene stretching. These complexes exhibit the marker Raman band for Nc•− as a medium-intense band in the range 1496–1507 cm−1, attributed to the coupling of pyrrole and aza stretching, while the marker Raman band of Nc2− in intermediate-valence Ce(TBPP)(Nc) appears as a strong band at 1493 cm−1 and is due to the isoindole stretchings. By contrast, when excited with radiation of 785 nm that is in close resonance with the main Q absorption band of the naphthalocyanine ligand, the ring radial vibrations at ca 680 and 735 cm−1 for MIII(TBPP)(Nc) are selectively intensified and are the most intense bands. For the cerium double-decker, the most intense vibration also acting as the marker Raman band of Nc2− appears at 1497 cm−1 with contributions from both pyrrole CC and aza CN stretches. The same vibrational modes show weak to medium intensity scattering at 1506–1509 cm−1 for MIII(TBPP)(Nc) and this is the marker Raman band of Nc•− when thus excited. The scatterings due to the Nc breathings, ring radial vibration, aza group stretchings, naphthalene stretchings, benzoisoindole stretchings and the coupling of pyrrole CC and aza CN stretchings in MIII(TBPP)(Nc) are all slightly blue shifted along with the decrease in rare earth ionic radius, confirming the effects of increased ring–ring interactions on the Raman characteristics of naphthalocyanine in the mixed ring double-deckers.
