Resumo Objetivo Construir e validar conteúdo de checklist para assistência de enfermagem perioperatória neonatal em cirurgia cardíaca. Métodos Pesquisa metodológica, desenvolvida no período de outubro de 2020 a setembro de 2021, em duas etapas sequenciais: construção dos itens do checklist a partir de revisão integrativa da literatura e validação de conteúdo por sete especialistas em neonatologia, selecionados a partir de busca curricular. Para análise, utilizou-se o índice de validade de conteúdo, considerando valores ≥ 0,8. Resultados Construiu-se um checklist com 57 itens estruturado para intervenções no pré, intra e pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca, com ações assistenciais designadas de acordo com a competência legal das categorias dos profissionais de enfermagem (técnico e enfermeiro). No processo de validação, 24 itens foram modificados e quatro excluídos. O nível de concordância mínimo entre os especialistas para os itens foi de 0,86, exceto para um item (0,75). Conclusão O checklist alcançou validade de conteúdo com padrão satisfatório para utilização no perioperatório de cirurgia cardíaca.

Introdução: A cirurgia cardíaca (CC) pode estar associada a diversas repercussões orgânicas responsáveis pelo surgimento de fatores de risco cardíaco no pós-operatório. Estas, associadas ao tempo de internação hospitalar (TIH) prolongado, podem desencadear manifestações críticas em indivíduos submetidos a esse procedimento cirúrgico. Objetivo: Investigar a correlação entre os fatores de risco cardíaco pós-operatórios em CC, funcionalidade e o (TIH). Métodos: Foram avaliados pacientes submetidos a CC reconstrutivas, substitutivas ou corretivas. A presença de riscos cardiovasculares pós-operatórios foi avaliada pelo escore da InsCor, enquanto o TIH e a funcionalidade foram coletados em prontuários médicos. Resultados: Cem pacientes com idade média de 59,2±12,3 anos foram incluídos. Correlações significativas entre funcionalidade e TIH total e na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) (p

Resumo Fundamento: O índice de imuno-inflamação sistêmica (SII), um novo índice inflamatório calculado usando contagens de plaquetas, neutrófilos e linfócitos, demonstrou ser um fator de risco independente para a identificação de doença arterial coronariana de alto risco em pacientes submetidos a intervenção coronária percutânea e cardiovascular e cirurgia com circulação extracorpórea (CEC). A relação entre as taxas de mortalidade relacionadas ao SII e à CEC permanece obscura. Objetivo: Esta pesquisa foi desenhada para investigar o uso do SII para prever mortalidade hospitalar em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca com CEC. Métodos: Quatrocentos e oitenta pacientes submetidos a procedimento cardíaco envolvendo CEC durante 3 anos foram coletados do banco de dados do hospital. Foram comparados os dados demográficos, comorbidades, perfis hematológicos e bioquímico e dados operatórios dos grupos. Análises múltiplas de regressão logística foram feitas para determinar preditores independentes de mortalidade. Os fatores prognósticos foram avaliados por análise multivariada e os valores preditivos de SII, relação neutrófilo-linfócito (NLR) e razão plaqueta-linfócito (PLR) para mortalidade foram comparados. Um valor de p 811,93 com sensibilidade de 65% e especificidade de 65% (área sob a curva: 0,690). Os valores preditivos de SII, PLR e NLR foram próximos entre si. Conclusão: Altos escores pré-operatórios do SII podem ser usados para determinação precoce de tratamentos apropriados, o que pode melhorar os resultados cirúrgicos de cirurgia cardíaca no futuro.

Resumo Fundamento: Pacientes submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca podem estar expostos à hipoperfusão tecidual e metabolismo anaeróbico. Objetivo: Verificar se os biomarcadores de hipoperfusão tecidual têm valor preditivo para permanência prolongada na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) em pacientes com disfunção ventricular esquerda submetidos à cirurgia de bypass da artéria coronária. Métodos: Após aprovação pelo comitê de ética institucional e assinatura do termo de consentimento, 87 pacientes com disfunção ventricular esquerda (fração de ejeção

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar a efetividade de um protocolo de Reiki nos níveis de ansiedade no período pré-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca. Métodos Ensaio clínico controlado e randomizado realizado em um hospital universitário de referência em cardiologia entre junho e dezembro de 2021. Foi realizada randomização em bloco e alocação por sorteio com envelopes selados opacos em dois grupos: Controle (n=44; não submetido a intervenção) e Intervenção (n=44; submetido a duas sessões de Reiki três dias antes e na véspera da cirurgia). Os desfechos principais (ansiedade, bem-estar e tensão muscular) foram avaliados ao longo das sessões usando um modelo de efeitos mistos. Para avaliar o tamanho do efeito foram calculados os valores parciais de eta quadrado (η2p). Resultados Foram determinadas as diferenças nos escores de ansiedade (+2,7 pontos a mais para o controle), bem-estar (-0,78) e tensão muscular (1,27), sendo consideradas estatisticamente significativas (p

O A. traça as linhas de conduta seguida na Clínica de Tórace do Instituto Nacional de Câncer, sob sua chefia, focalizando a técnica cirúrgica, diagnóstico, pré e post-operatório. Mostra em cada setôr, sua experiência pessoal, como variante apenas da técnica de Svveet e Pach. Defende a via esquerda nas Toracotomias para cirurgia do esôfago. Insiste em não perder tempo, procurando-se o diagnóstico etiológico, quando se tem na toracotomia explorada o melhor e mais eficaz meio, através a biópsia pré-operatória. Só usa a Radioterapia e a Quimioterapia para os casos inoperáveis, em que não foi possível a exérese completa ou ainda, nas recídicas.

A autor explica que com o progresso da cirurgia toráxica, as provas de função pulmonar adquiriram uma importância inestimável no pré e post-operatório da cirurgia do câncer pulmonar. Elas são metodicamente praticadas, rigorosamente avaliadas, permitindo ao cirurgião, estabelecer o caráter de urgência de uma intervenção, indicando também, dentro de quais limites ele devera intervir, ou mesmo levá-lo à renúncia da cirurgia proposta. O autor dá uma descrição das provas realizadas no Instituto Nacional de Câncer, dando uma orientação das capacidades e volumes espirográficos e radiológicos que permitam uma boa margem de segurança para a avaliação cirúrgica pré-operatória. Finaliza dando noções de cinésioterapia respiratória para a recuperação dos doentes com diminuição das taxas ventilatórias, seja no pré-operatório ou que sofreram ressecções pulmonares.

Objetivo: Analisar o perfil clínico e antropométrico de pacientes internados para realização de cirurgia cardíaca em um hospital de referência em alta complexidade cardiovascular. Materiais e métodos: Realizou-se um estudo transversal, descritivo, com amostra selecionada por conveniência com adultos e idosos de ambos os sexos, internados em um hospital-ensino localizado no interior do Rio Grande do Sul (Brasil) para realização de cirurgia cardíaca, de março a agosto de 2021. Aferiu-se peso, estatura, circunferências da cintura, quadril e pescoço, realizado cálculo de relação cintura/estatura (RCE) e relação cintura/quadril. A coleta de dados sobre estilo de vida, histórico de doenças, tipo de cirurgia e tempo de internação. Resultados: Participaram do estudo 30 pacientes. Foram realizadas cirurgias de revascularização do miocárdio (CRM), troca valvar (TV), e CRM combinada com TV, respectivamente. As doenças mais prevalentes foram hipertensão arterial, doença arterial coronariana e diabetes mellitus. A frequência de sobrepeso foi evidenciada em mais da metade da população. Toda amostra apresentou risco pela RCE e em risco pelas demais medidas antropométricas elevadas na maioria dos indivíduos. Conclusões: Os pacientes apresentaram um perfil clínico e antropométrico com fatores de risco cardiovascular pela presença de doenças crônicas e medidas antropométricas elevadas, que demonstraram serem bons e práticos marcadores no rastreamento de excesso de peso e risco cardiovascular, e por isso sugere-se a utilização das demais medidas antropométricas além de somente o índice de massa corporal na avaliação do paciente na rotina hospitalar.

Thoracoscopy is replacing open lung biopsies because it is less invasive, usually the technique is done using three portals and intracorporeal suture technique. This study described the feasibility and efficacy of a novel pre tied loop ligature and to propose a thoracoscopic access strategy with two portals to perform lung biopsy in patients under 5 kg. Ten rabbits were positioned in dorsal recumbency. Total thoracoscopic lung biopsy was performed using a combined transdiaphragmatic approach and a right intercostal approach. A pre tied loop ligature was placed to perform a caudal lung lobe biopsy. Insufflation of the thoracic cavity was not performed. The total surgery time was 41.4 ± 14.5 min. The procedure was carried out free of complications that prevented slippage or tightening the knot or that made it come loose after the lung biopsy; there was no serious complication during the surgical procedure. The samples obtained averaged 1x0.64x0.45 cm (Length, Width, Depth) and were considered satisfactory according to the histopathologic evaluation. Thorax radiographs taken before and after the surgeries were compared and showed no pneumothorax or hemothorax. Necropsy confirmed no knot failure occurred at the biopsy site. The use of the novel pre tied loop ligature is a safe and effective technique, avoiding problems with the limited size of the thoracic cavity in small patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The standardization of a weaning protocol and extubation is presented as the solution to eliminate the possiblefactors that would lead to complications andfailure of extubation. Objectives: To review the scientific literature to characterise the weaningprotocols and discontinuation of mechanical ventilation in adults in cardiac surgery postoperative. Methodology: Conducted via literature research in databases SciELO, Medline, Lilacs and PubMed, with the following search terms: weaning / weaning, mechanical ventilation / mechanical ventilation, cardiac surgery / cardiac surgery and "AND" to join words. It was implemented a descriptive analysis. Results: We selected 15 articles published between 1998 and 2016. The most used weaning protocols involve Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV at 100% of the minute volume) and the Spontaneous / Support Pressure modality. The criteria analyzedfor interruption of mechanical ventilation and that ensure its success were: gasometry, consciousness recovery, hemodynamic stability and body temperature. Conclusion: Adaptive Support Ventilation (100%) and Spontaneous were the most used for weaning. The perception of gasometry, followed by hemodynamic stability, resumption of consciousness and normalization of body temperature were the most used criteria for the decision to interrupt mechanical ventilation.

Background: Chondrosarcomas are malignant tumors that are most prevalent between the fourth and sixth decades of life. The surgical resection procedure for primary chest wall chondrosarcoma leads to a good outcome, with a lower probability of recurrence and metastasis. Aim: To report a case of chondrosarcoma resection in the chest wall, and report the evolution of the condition after the resection procedure. Method: This was a young female patient, with tumor recurrence and family genetic history, who underwent resection of a chondrosarcoma in the costal arches. The procedure was carried out at Hospital de Caridade São Vicente de Paulo, Jundiaí - SP, Brazil. Case Report: Woman, 23 years old, who started pain in the left hemithorax radiating to the interscapular region associated with paresthesia of the right upper limb. She reported surgeries to remove osteochondromas in the lower limbs. Two years ago, she had noticed a small lesion in the left hemithorax, which showed significant growth over a period of one year. After outpatient follow-up, and due to hemodynamic stability, it was decided to perform surgical resection of the tumor in the costal arches due to the evolution of pain and functional loss of the left upper limb in 2022. The patient was followed up by the specialty outpatient clinic, and the procedure demonstrated sufficient to treat the tumor. Conclusion: It was possible to perform a single-stage approach of extensive tumor resection, associated with the removal of costal arches and subsequent wall reconstruction. The procedure took place with multidisciplinary team planning, and the patient recovered early with maintenance of function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivo: Revisão sobre a eficácia e segurança da autotransfusão intraoperatória durante cirurgias cardíacas. Método: Um overview da literatura foi conduzido. As bases de dados Medline, The Cochrane Library, Lilacs e CRD foram utilizadas para identificar reviões sistemáticas que compararam a autotransfusão intraoperatória com o tratamento padrão em pacientes submetidos a cirurgias cardíacas. Não foi feita restrição de data, local ou idioma. A qualidade foi avaliada com o método AMSTAR. Resultados: Cinco estudos foram incluídos. Não foi observado benefício significativo com o uso dos sistemas de autotransfusão intraoperatória em termos de desfechos finais (e. g. morte, infarto, AVE, reoperação por sangramento, infecções) em pacientes cardíacos, apesar de tamanhos razoáveis de amostra. Também não foi observado benefício significativo no risco de exposição e volume transfundido de plasma fresco congelado ou plaquetas. A maior parte dos estudos considerou a autotransfusão efetiva em reduzir o risco de transfusão de hemácias. Entretanto, a metanálise mais recente observou que esse efeito é dependente de estudos antigos. Quando foi feita uma análise de subgrupo considerando apenas estudos recentes, o efeito positivo na transfusão de hemácias desapareceu. A qualidade das revisões sistemáticas foi considerada razoável. Conclusão: Os benefícios da autotransfusão intraoperatória em termos de desfechos finais, ou mesmo desfechos intermediários, não foi demonstrada. Portanto, uma recomendação de incorporação da tecnologia para cirurgias cardíacas não é razoável. Existe, entretanto, a necessidade de uma metanálise atualizada que inclua toda a evidência e análises de subgrupo relevantes à decisão.

Introduction: During cardiac surgery postoperative care, physical, psychological, and social problems arise, affecting the patient's self-care agency, which brings with it the need for a caregiver during recovery. Objective: To determine the relationship between primary caregivers' burden level and the self-care agency of cardiac surgical patients. Materials and Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, analytical, and correlational design was used. Patients (n=86) and caregivers (n=86) attending a cardiac surgery program from a high complexity medical center in Cúcuta, Colombia, participated and were selected using non-probability quota sampling. Self-care Agency Scale (SAS) and Zarit Burden Interview were used in the study. Results: Among the caregivers with severe burden, 83.33% cared for patients with low self-care agency. In the mild-burden caregivers' group, 63% of the patients had middle self-care agency. Most patients (71.01%) of caregivers with no burden had middle self-care agency, but 20.29% exhibited high self-care agency. Discussion: the capacity for self-care agency reduces the level of caregiver burden, when the patient manages to adapt to the activities that contribute to care, the level of dependency decreases. Conclusion: The research demonstrated the relationship between these two variables. Patients and caregivers must be addressed to achieve self-care empowerment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper was to report the use of an external splint made of polyurethane material and internal neopreme covering in the surgical repair of a pectus excavatum in a young feline. The feline exhibited a congenital anatomical deformity in the external region and clinical respiratory signs. Advanced CT images were used to shape the 3D-printed splint. This alternative allowed better surgical planning and, therefore, comfort for the patient, this because to the quality of the polyurethane material, which is slightly malleable, and allowed for better molding and chest expansion during breathing. The splint proved to be strong enough to withstand the traction caused by the suture threads and allowed the proper repositioning of the sternum, at the same time it was comfortable and caused minimal injuries to the patient.

O Tumor de Células Gigantes é uma neoplasia osteolítica benigna, porém agressiva, ricamente vascularizada e com numerosas células gigantes com atividade osteoclástica. Ocorre mais frequentemente nas epífises de ossos longos e raramente acomete as costelas (cerca de 1% dos casos). A apresentação deste tumor em porção anterolateral de arco costal é extremamente rara em comparação com a região posterior. O presente relato descreve o caso de uma paciente que apresentava uma tumoração dolorosa em parede torácica anterolateral esquerda, de crescimento insidioso. Exames de imagem revelaram uma lesão insuflativa em 10º arco costal esquerdo (4,2 x 3,5 cm), com áreas de calcificação interior. A paciente foi submetida a tratamento cirúrgico, com ressecção ampla do tumor, englobando 9º, 10º e 11º arcos costais e uma porção do diafragma. O diagnóstico definitivo de tumor de células gigantes se deu pela imunohistoquímica da peça cirúrgica. Este relato permite fornecer bases para o estudo das possibilidades terapêuticas desta patologia em localizações atípicas, reforçando que a exérese em bloco com margens amplas destes tumores promove uma menor chance de recidiva local.

Objective: To analyze the clinical and anthropometric profile of patients hospitalized for cardiac surgery in a referral hospital with high cardiovascular complexity. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was carried out, with a sample selected for convenience, with adults and elderly people of both sexes, admitted to a teaching hospital located in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) for cardiac surgery, from March to August 2021. Weight, height, waist, hip and neck circumferences were measured, calculation of waist/height ratio (WHR) and waist/hip ratio were performed. Data collection on lifestyle, disease history, type of surgery and length of stay. Results: Thirty patients participated in the study. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), valve replacement (VT), and CABG combined with VT, respectively, were performed. The most prevalent diseases were arterial hypertension, coronary artery disease and diabetes mellitus. The frequency of overweight was evidenced in more than half of the population. The entire sample was at risk by WHtR and at risk by other high anthropometric measures in most individuals. Conclusions: The patients had a clinical and anthropometric profile with cardiovascular risk factors due to the presence of chronic diseases and high anthropometric measures, which proved to be good and practical markers for tracking excess weight and cardiovascular risk, and therefore the use is suggested of the other anthropometric measures in addition to just the body mass index in the assessment of the patient in the hospital routine.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a funcionalidade de pacientes pediátricos submetidos à correção cirúrgica de cardiopatia congênita após a alta da unidade de terapia intensiva e as possíveis correlações com variáveis clínicas e risco cirúrgico. Métodos: Estudo transversal, que incluiu crianças entre 1 mês e 18 anos incompletos, que realizaram cirurgia para correção de cardiopatia congênita, no período de outubro de 2017 até maio de 2018. A avaliação da funcionalidade foi realizada por meio da Functional Status Scale, a avaliação do risco cirúrgico se deu pelo Risk Adjustment for Congenital Heart Surgery-1 (RACHS-1), e as variáveis clínicas foram obtidas do prontuário eletrônico. Resultados: A amostra foi composta de 57 crianças, com mediana de idade de 7 (2 - 17) meses, sendo 54,4% do sexo masculino. Dentre as crianças, 75,5% apresentaram alteração na funcionalidade, e 45,6% delas tiveram disfunção moderada. Cerca de 47% da amostra apresentou classificação RACHS-1 > 3, indicando maior risco cirúrgico. Maior déficit funcional foi associado a crianças mais novas, com maior duração da ventilação mecânica invasiva e do tempo de internação na unidade de terapia intensiva. Além disso, maior grau de disfunção foi observado entre aqueles classificados com RACHS-1 > 3. Conclusão: A prevalência de disfunção foi elevada em crianças e adolescentes com cardiopatia após cirurgia cardíaca. Maior risco cirúrgico, duração da ventilação mecânica invasiva, permanência na unidade de terapia intensiva e os mais jovens apresentaram associação com pior desempenho funcional.

Cardiovascular diseases have been the leading the causes of hospital admissions, being one of the main public health problems in Brazil, and one of the forms of treatment is cardiac surgery, being more prevalent in older people who have several other comorbidities associated. This study aimed to describe the clinical and surgical profile of patients undergoing valve replacement. Thus, an ambispective study was carried out with patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Instituto Nobre de Cardiologia. An analysis was carried out in the patients' medical records in search of data related to their clinical and surgical profile. During the research period, 55 patients underwent valve replacement, 10 of which were excluded. Thus, 45 patients were evaluated, with 28 (62%) male participants with a mean age of 43 ± 6 years, hypertension and sedentary lifestyle were the most common comorbidities (49% and 56% respectively) and 60% with the Body Mass Index within the normal range. Regarding the surgical characteristics, the extracorporeal circulation time was 211 ± 22 minutes and the Mechanical Ventilation time was 6 ± 2 hours. Based on the findings, it can be characterized that patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement surgery are over 40 years old, male, sedentary, hypertensive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Neurological complications are second only to heart failure as a cause of morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery, and the presence of neurological sequelae significantly increases the likelihood of requiring long-term patient care, there is an estimated incidence of combined complications of the nervous system central, such as stroke and encephalopathy. Most strokes that occur in the context of cardiac surgery are clinically apparent within 24 to 48 hours, valve repairs and combined coronary artery bypass graft surgery and valve repairs, particularly those involving the mitral valve, appear to have a significantly higher risk of Stroke and intraoperative and postoperative ischemic stroke mechanisms include cerebral hypoperfusion, artery-to-artery embolism, and cardiogenic embolism.

Objective: To analyze and compare the survival of patients with pulmonary and pleural metastases in an initial thoracic surgery service. Methods: Retrospective longitudinal study of 19 patients with pulmonary and pleural metastases who underwent surgery between 2016 and 2020. Survival was analyzed using the Kaplan Meier curve. Results: Most were female, 84.2%, with a mean age of 64 years and 68.4% were non-smokers. Comorbidities were detected in 73.7% of patients, with arterial hypertension being the most prevalent. The most common primary tumors were breast and lung cancer. The most frequent approach (52.7%) was through videothoracoscopy. Chemotherapy treatment covered 84.2% of patients. Of the six patients who developed postoperative complications during hospitalization, 33.3% had pneumonia and 1 died. Overall survival at 30 months was 57.9%. Patients with pulmonary metastasis showed longer 30-month survival compared to those with pleural metastasis (75% vs. 50%; p=0.017). Regarding the primary tumor, patients with breast carcinoma had a 12-month survival of 85%, while among patients with colorectal cancer, the survival was 50%. Conclusion: According to our study, patients with pleural metastases have a worse prognosis when compared to patients with pulmonary metastases. The primary location of the tumor is associated with patient survival. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar a efetividade do Reiki na redução da ansiedade, da depressão e na melhoria do bem-estar pré-operatório na cirurgia cardíaca. Método Ensaio clínico controlado não randomizado, com dois braços, realizado em um hospital de referência em cardiologia com pacientes no pré-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca, com até cinco dias para a cirurgia, entre maio e novembro de 2018. O grupo intervenção (n=31) foi submetido a um protocolo de Reiki e o grupo controle (n=59) recebeu apenas o cuidado convencional. Resultados Foram avaliados 124 pacientes. A média de ansiedade e depressão não obteve uma diferença significativa entre os grupos. O bem-estar espiritual, nas suas dimensões religiosa e existencial, tiveram uma melhora significativa. Conclusão A ansiedade e a depressão foram menores no grupo intervenção, sem diferença estatisticamente significativa. Houve melhor resultado na avaliação do bem-estar no grupo intervenção. A religiosidade pode interferir em alguns casos na aceitação de práticas holísticas e integrativas. Registro Brasileiro de Ensaios Clínicos: RBR-4cxw37

Objective: To determine the concordance of mortality risk classification through the use of the Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM) 2 and 3. Methods: Through a retrospective cohort, we evaluated patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit between April 2016 and December 2018. We calculated the mortality risk with the PIM 2 and 3. Analyses were carried out to determine the concordance between the risk classification obtained with both scales using unweighted and linearly weighted kappa. Results: A total of 722 subjects were included, and 66.6% had a chronic condition. The overall mortality was 3.7%. The global kappa concordance coefficient for classifying patients according to risk with the PIM 2 and 3 was moderate at 0.48 (95%CI 0.43 - 0.53). After linear weighting, concordance was substantial at 0.64 (95%CI 0.59 - 0.69). For cardiac surgery patients, concordance for risk classification was fair at 0.30 (95%CI 0.21 - 0.39), and after linear weighting, concordance was only moderate at 0.49 (95%CI 0.39 - 0.59). The PIM 3 assigned a lower risk than the PIM 2 in 44.8% of patients in this subgroup. Conclusion: Our study proves that the PIM 2 and 3 are not clinically equivalent and should not be used interchangeably for quality evaluation across pediatric intensive care units. Validation studies must be performed before using the PIM 2 or PIM 3 in specific settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To evaluate the functional status of pediatric patients undergoing congenital heart surgery after discharge from the intensive care unit, and to evaluate the correlations among clinical variables, functional status and surgical risk. Methods: Cross-sectional study including patients aged 1 month to less than 18 years undergoing congenital heart surgery between October 2017 and May 2018. Functional outcome was assessed by the Functional Status Scale, surgical risk classification was determined using the Risk Adjustment for Congenital Heart Surgery-1 (RACHS-1), and clinical variables were collected from electronic medical records. Results: The sample comprised 57 patients with a median age of 7 months (2 - 17); 54.4% were male, and 75.5% showed dysfunction, which was moderate in 45.6% of the cases. RACHS-1 category > 3 was observed in 47% of the sample, indicating higher surgical risk. There was a correlation between functional deficit and younger age, longer duration of invasive mechanical ventilation and longer intensive care unit stay. Moreover, greater functional deficit was observed among patients classified as RACHS-1 category > 3. Conclusion: The prevalence of functional deficit was high among children and adolescents with congenital heart disease after cardiac surgery. Higher surgical risk, longer duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, longer intensive care unit stay and younger age were correlated with worse functional status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Congenital heart defects are problems resulting from malformations in the structure of the heart during embryonic development. It affects about 1 in 100 children and approximately 20% of them need surgical intervention in the first year of life. This study aimed to describe the profile of children with congenital heart disease who underwent cardiac surgery in a referral hospital in the Northeast. This is a cross-sectional, quantitative and descriptive study, with data collected from medical records of children with congenital heart disease who underwent cardiac surgery at the University Hospital of São Luís-MA, from January to December 2017. Of the 31 cardiac surgeries in the period described, 58% were female, with a mean age of 4 years, 77% from the interior of the state and 64.5% of heart diseases were acyanogenic. The results showed the profile of patients with congenital heart disease, mostly female, preschool age, with acyanogenic heart disease, interatrial communication type, and most did not live in the capital. There were postoperative complications, the most frequent being cardiac and the association of heart disease with some syndromes or malformations, especially Down syndrome. Thus highlighting the need for studies on the characteristics of this population and the factors that may influence the success of cardiac surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To compare the chest tube drainage by the same thoracotomy intercostal space with the traditional approach in patients undergoing muscle-sparing thoracotomy. Methods: We evaluated 40 patients aged ≥18 years who underwent elective muscle sparing thoracotomies. Patients were divided into two groups of 20 patients. One group underwent thoracic drainage by the same intercostal space of thoracotomy and the other by traditional chest drainage approach. Results: The mean length of hospital stay for the intercostal drainage group in the intensive care unit was 1.5 day (1.0 to 2.0 days) and 2.0 days (25.1 to 3.0 days) for the traditional chest drainage group (p=0.060). The intercostal drainage group had mean length of hospital stay (p=0.527) and drainage (p=0.547) of 4 days, and the traditional chest drainage group and 2 and 5.5 days, respectively. Dipirona and tramadol doses did not differ between groups (p=0.201 and p=0.341). The mean pain scale values on first postoperative was 4.24 in the drainage by the same intercostal group and 3.95 in the traditional chest drainage (p=0.733). In third postoperative day, mean was 3.18 for the first group and 3.11 for the traditional group (p=0.937). In the 15th day after surgery, drainage by the incision was 1.53 and the traditional chest drainage was 2.11 (p=0.440), 30th days after drainage by incision was 0.71 and traditional chest drainage was 0.84 (p=0.787). Complications, for both groups were similar with 30% in proposed drainage and 25% in traditional approach (p=0.723). Conclusion: Drainage by the same thoracotomy intercostal space was feasible and results 30 days after surgery were not inferior to those of the traditional chest drainage approach.

Aim: To identify the nursing diagnoses in the immediate postoperative period of valve replacement surgery. Method: Documental and cross-sectional study carried out by means of the medical records of patients submitted to valve surgeries between January and December 2014, in a large hospital specialized in cardiology in the state of São Paulo. Results: among the 50 analyzed charts, 58% belonged to female patients. Eleven nursing diagnoses were identified, 55% are classified by the health problem and 45% are risk. The most prevalent nursing diagnoses were Infection Risk (100%), Impaired Physical Mobility (94%) and Risk of Fall (94%). Conclusion: the highest occurrence diagnosis identified in the immediate postoperative period of surgery was the risk of infection. The identified diagnoses allowed a better understanding of the experience lived by the patient and the nurses' perception of it, contributing to the optimization of human and material resources.

This article describes an observational and longitudinal study conducted at a pediatric hospital in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, which analyzed the incidence of extubation failure in children in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery after the use of High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC). 45 children were analyzed, with 73.3% of them using positive pressure after HFNC, with 22.2% requiring invasive mechanical ventilation/reintubation. Of the children who received intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV), 33.3% were subsequently reintubated. These reintubation cases had an average length of stay in the intensive care unit of 50.1 ± 19.3 days and in the hospital of 103.8 ± 111.9 days, with a mortality rate of 43%. It is concluded that there was a high incidence of extubation failure after the use of HFNC in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery in children. [Extracted from the article]

ABSTRACT CONTEXT: Today, through major technological advances in diagnostic resources within medicine, evaluation and monitoring of clinical parameters at the patient’s bedside in intensive care units (ICUs) has become possible. CASE REPORT: This case report presents results and interpretations from predictive mechanical ventilation weaning indexes obtained through monitoring using chest electrical bioimpedance tomography. These indexes included maximum inspiratory pressure, maximum expiratory pressure, shallow breathing index and spontaneous breathing test. These were correlated with variations in tidal volume variables, respiratory rate, mean arterial pressure and peripheral oxygen saturation. Regarding the air distribution behavior in the pulmonary parenchyma, the patient showed the pendelluft phenomenon. Pendelluft occurs due to the time constant (product of the airways resistance and compliance) asymmetry between adjacent lung. CONCLUSION: Bioelectrical impedance tomography can help in weaning from mechanical ventilation, as in the case presented here. Pendelluft was defined as a limitation during the weaning tests.
