Abstract

Introduction: The dissemination of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, namely in Portugal, demanded an organizational and clinical reaction from the Portuguese National Health Service. With the unpredictable impact of COVID-19 infected patients redefining hospital logistics, reducing non-priority elective care and extending the hospital capacity for critical care patients made mobilizing a significant part of human resources a priority. We conducted a national survey to monitor the contribution and the role of anaesthesiologists belonging to the 53 Portuguese National Health Service hospitals in the first wave fight against the pandemic. Material and Methods: This prospective cross-sectional observational study used a weekly survey sent to the Directors of the Anaesthesiology Departments of all Portuguese National Health Service hospitals, between the period of 13th April and 21st June 2020. Directors were asked about human resources, hospital logistics, anaesthetic activity and residency programs in their departments as well as contingency plans facing the impact of the pandemic growth in the PNHS. Results: Contingency strategy for all Portuguese National Health Service hospitals planned for a total of 1524 level III critical care beds during the initial phases of the pandemic, an increase of 151% from the existing 607 level III critical care beds in Portugal in January 2020. This re-configuration effort of the Portuguese National Health Service was only possible due to the partial or total suspension of non-urgent elective activity that reached over 90% of these institutions in the first pandemic months (March and April) and the deployment of anaesthesiologists from their normal activities to the treatment of critical care patients. During the peak of the first pandemic wave, 209 anaesthesiology specialists and 170 trainees (22.9% of the total anaesthesiologist’s staff in the Portuguese National Health Service) were deployed in critical care. There was an almost complete interruption of the residency program rotation in 70.4% of hospitals with anaesthesiology residents, between March and April 2020. Conclusion: During the first pandemic wave there was an effective and fast reorganisation of the Portuguese National Health Service in order to increase level III critical care beds, which might have contributed to the low mortality rates in Portugal. We believe that this could have also been a result of the contribution given by all public anaesthesiology departments.

Abstract

Introduction: The objective of this study is to identify the number of anaesthesiologists working in Portugal and to monitor the national activity of this medical specialty by comparing it with a similar Census performed in 2014. Material and Methods: Observational cross-sectional study. Data related to the month of May 2017 was collected from Anaesthesiology departments of 53 Portuguese public institutions from a total of 86 hospitals. Results: The Census registered 615 127 surgical procedures (3.4% more than in 2013), 84.1% of which on a non-emergent basis, and 49.6% day case surgery (6.1% more than in 2013). Moreover, 89 608 procedures were performed outside the operating rooms (19.0% less than in 2013), 282 944 were anaesthetic clinics (1.3% more than in 2013) and 112 183 were chronic pain evaluations (13.1% more than in 2013). In addition, 51 380 labour analgesia were performed for delivery (14.3% more than in 2013) corresponding to 70.5% of all deliveries occurring in the Obstetric department of Portuguese public hospitals in 2016 (5% more than in 2013). A total of 1280 Anaesthesiologists were identified (2.1% more than in May 2014), corresponding to a ratio of 12.4 per 100 000 inhabitants (it was 12.0 in May 2014). Together with the 262 anaesthesiologists that work exclusively in the private system, we found a total sum of 1542 anaesthesiologists indicating a ratio of 15.1 per 100 000 inhabitants (it was 13.9 in 2014). Discussion: We predict that the identified deficit of 541 anaesthesiologists in the Portuguese National Health Service should be reduced by two thirds until 2023. The reduction of the shortage of anaesthesiologists will allow an increase in human resource capacity in Anaesthesiology. Conclusion: Even though there was a slight increase in the ratio of Anaesthesiologists per inhabitant in 2017 compared to 2014, Portugal maintains a shortage of Anaesthesiologists.

Abstract

Abstract Currently, epidural analgesia is a common procedure for labor analgesia. Although it is considered a safe technique, it is not without complications. Horner's syndrome and paresthesia within the trigeminal nerve distribution are rare complications of epidural analgesia. We report a case of a pregnant woman who developed Horner's syndrome and paresthesia within the distribution of the trigeminal nerve following epidural analgesia for the relief of labor pain.

Abstract

Currently, epidural analgesia is a common procedure for labor analgesia. Although it is considered a safe technique, it is not without complications. Horner's syndrome and paresthesia within the trigeminal nerve distribution are rare complications of epidural analgesia. We report a case of a pregnant woman who developed Horner's syndrome and paresthesia within the distribution of the trigeminal nerve following epidural analgesia for the relief of labor pain. Resumo: A analgesia peridural é hoje em dia um procedimento comum para analgesia do trabalho de parto. Embora seja considerada uma técnica segura, não está isenta de complicações. A síndrome de Horner e a parestesia do território do nervo trigêmeo são complicações raras da analgesia peridural. Relatamos um caso de uma grávida que desenvolveu a síndrome de Horner e parestesia do território do nervo trigêmeo após analgesia peridural para o alívio da dor do trabalho de parto.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify the number of anaesthesiologists working in Portugal and to monitor the national activity of this medical specialty by comparing it with a similar Census performed in 2014.Observational cross-sectional study. Data related to the month of May 2017 was collected from Anaesthesiology departments of 53 Portuguese public institutions from a total of 86 hospitals.The Census registered 615 127 surgical procedures (3.4% more than in 2013), 84.1% of which on a non-emergent basis, and 49.6% day case surgery (6.1% more than in 2013). Moreover, 89 608 procedures were performed outside the operating rooms (19.0% less than in 2013), 282 944 were anaesthetic clinics (1.3% more than in 2013) and 112 183 were chronic pain evaluations (13.1% more than in 2013). In addition, 51 380 labour analgesia were performed for delivery (14.3% more than in 2013) corresponding to 70.5% of all deliveries occurring in the Obstetric department of Portuguese public hospitals in 2016 (5% more than in 2013). A total of 1280 Anaesthesiologists were identified (2.1% more than in May 2014), corresponding to a ratio of 12.4 per 100 000 inhabitants (it was 12.0 in May 2014). Together with the 262 anaesthesiologists that work exclusively in the private system, we found a total sum of 1542 anaesthesiologists indicating a ratio of 15.1 per 100 000 inhabitants (it was 13.9 in 2014).We predict that the identified deficit of 541 anaesthesiologists in the Portuguese National Health Service should be reduced by two thirds until 2023. The reduction of the shortage of anaesthesiologists will allow an increase in human resource capacity in Anaesthesiology.Even though there was a slight increase in the ratio of Anaesthesiologists per inhabitant in 2017 compared to 2014, Portugal maintains a shortage of Anaesthesiologists.Introdução: O objectivo deste estudo é identificar o número de anestesiologistas e monitorizar a actividade da Anestesiologia em Portugal, comparando-a com idêntico Censos realizado em 2014. Material e Métodos: Estudo observacional transversal. Foram contactados, em maio de 2017, os diretores dos serviços de Anestesiologia das instituições hospitalares com actividade cirúrgica que compõem o Serviço Nacional de Saúde, num total de 53 instituições hospitalares, correspondendo a 86 hospitais. Resultados: O Censos registou um total de 615 127 intervenções cirúrgicas (mais 3,4% que em 2013), das quais 84,1% foram cirurgias programadas e destas 49,6% em regime de ambulatório (mais 6,1% que em 2013). Constatou-se ainda a realização de 89 608 procedimentos com apoio de anestesia fora do bloco operatório (menos 19,0% que em 2013), 282 944 consultas de anestesia (mais 1,3% que em 2013) e 112 183 consultas de dor crónica (mais 13,1% que em 2013). Identificaram-se 51 380 analgesias de parto (mais 14,3% que em 2013), que corresponderam a 70,5% dos partos ocorridos nos serviços de Obstetrícia dos hospitais do Serviço Nacional de Saúde (mais 5% de partos que em 2013). Foram identificados 1280 Anestesiologistas (mais 2,1% do que em maio de 2014), o que corresponde a um rácio de 12,4 por 100 000 habitantes (este valor era de 12,0 em maio de 2014). Com os 262 Anestesiologistas a trabalhar exclusivamente no sector privado, obtém-se um total nacional de 1542 Anestesiologistas, ou seja, um rácio de 15,1 por 100 000 habitantes (este valor era 13,9 em maio de 2014). Discussão: Prevê-se que o déficit de 541 Anestesiologistas identificados, possa ser reduzido em cerca de dois terços até 2023. A redução do déficit de Anestesiologistas permitirá aumentar a capacidade de resposta às crescentes solicitações dos serviços de anestesiologia Portugueses. Conclusão: Apesar de um ligeiro aumento do rácio de anestesiologistas por habitante em 2017 comparativamente a 2014, Portugal continua com um déficit de Anestesiologistas.

Abstract

Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, or hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), is an autosomal dominant vascular dysplasia characterised by mucocutaneous telangiectases and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Diagnosis is clinical and treatment is supportive. The authors demonstrate a safe anaesthetic approach for a patient with HHT. A 53-year-old woman with a left trochanteric fracture was scheduled for urgent orthopaedic surgery. She was diagnosed as having HHT and presented with recurrent epistaxis, telangiectases and gastrointestinal AVMs. She had undergone a nasal dermoseptoplasty 4 weeks earlier, with total nasal occlusion. Surgery was undertaken with a lumbar and sacral plexus block performed with neurostimulation. She was sedated and spontaneous ventilation was maintained. The procedure was completed without complications. Anaesthetic management of patients with HHT is a challenge. The patients should be carefully studied before surgery, to reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality. Regional anaesthesia may be a good alternative to general anaesthesia, but the use of neuroaxial techniques is still controversial.

Abstract

Dissertação apresentada à Escola Superior de Saúde Dr. Lopes Dias do Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Cuidados Paliativos Os cuidados paliativos são uma área do bem cuidar por excelência ou seja cuidar o ser humano com a dignidade e respeito que merece. A sociedade tem vindo a desumanizar os cuidados em fim de vida, pois devido à evolução da tecnologia, os cuidados prestados a um doente estão quase sempre virados somente para a cura, o que por vezes acarreta uma esperança irrealista perante de uma luta quase sempre inglória. O presente relatório de Mestrado é o culminar de um ciclo de estudos de formação avançada em que é consolidada e fundamentada a Aprendizagem e o Saber. Ao longo dos capítulos são descritas as vivências da prática clinica realizada em duas equipas de Cuidados Paliativos, a Equipo de Soporte de Cuidados Paliativos del Área de Salud de Coria e a Equipa Comunitária de Suporte em Cuidados Paliativos de Beja+. É também apresentado um Projecto de Intervenção que pretendo efectuar no meu serviço para o Cuidador Informal que tem por nome “Cuidar do Cuidador”. Numa óptica de reflexão e análise, pessoal e profissional, aqui deixo o meu testemunho. ABSTRACT: Palliative care is an area of excellence and caring which mains purpose is caring human being with dignity and the respect they deserve. Society has been dehumanizing end of life care, because of the evolution of technology, the care of a patient is almost always turned to the only cure, which sometimes causes an unrealistic hope against an almost inglorious fight. This academic work is the culmination of a cycle of advanced studies, the Master which allows to consolidate Learning and Knowledge bases in evidence. Throughout the chapters I describe the experiences of clinical practice carried out in two teams of Palliative Care, “Equipo de Soporte de Cuidados Paliativos del Area de Salud de Coria” and Community Support Team in Palliative Care: Beja+. It also presents an Intervention Project that I intend to make in my service for the Informal Caregiver and named "Caring for the Caregiver." From the perspective of reflection and analysis, personal and professional, here I leave my testimony.
