Objetivo: refletir sobre as condições de trabalho dos profissionais de enfermagem no enfrentamento ao novo coronavírus e apontar o impacto na vida desses profissionais em meio à pandemia.Desenvolvimento: as fragilidades encontradas no cotidiano laboral dos profissionais de enfermagem são descritas pela literatura nacional e internacional, nas quais estão incluídas as más condições de trabalho, sobrecarga física e mental, baixa remuneração e ausência de Equipamentos de Proteção Individual adequados para o enfrentamento desse agravo.Considerações finais: esta reflexão pode contribuir para repensar a saúde e segurança dos profissionais de enfermagem visando uma assistência com qualidade e segurança aos pacientes frente a esta doença.

BackgroundThere is currently conflicting evidence surrounding the effects of obesity on postoperative outcomes. Previous studies have found obesity to be associated with adverse events, but others have found no association. The aim of this study was to determine whether increasing body mass index (BMI) is an independent risk factor for development of major postoperative complications.MethodsThis was a multicentre prospective cohort study across the UK and Republic of Ireland. Consecutive patients undergoing elective or emergency gastrointestinal surgery over a 4‐month interval (October–December 2014) were eligible for inclusion. The primary outcome was the 30‐day major complication rate (Clavien–Dindo grade III–V). BMI was grouped according to the World Health Organization classification. Multilevel logistic regression models were used to adjust for patient, operative and hospital‐level effects, creating odds ratios (ORs) and 95 per cent confidence intervals (c.i.).ResultsOf 7965 patients, 2545 (32·0 per cent) were of normal weight, 2673 (33·6 per cent) were overweight and 2747 (34·5 per cent) were obese. Overall, 4925 (61·8 per cent) underwent elective and 3038 (38·1 per cent) emergency operations. The 30‐day major complication rate was 11·4 per cent (908 of 7965). In adjusted models, a significant interaction was found between BMI and diagnosis, with an association seen between BMI and major complications for patients with malignancy (overweight: OR 1·59, 95 per cent c.i. 1·12 to 2·29, P = 0·008; obese: OR 1·91, 1·31 to 2·83, P = 0·002; compared with normal weight) but not benign disease (overweight: OR 0·89, 0·71 to 1·12, P = 0·329; obese: OR 0·84, 0·66 to 1·06, P = 0·147).ConclusionOverweight and obese patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal malignancy are at increased risk of major postoperative complications compared with those of normal weight.

Teve como objetivo identificar diagnósticos de Enfermagem no contexto do Atendimento Pré-Hospitalar Móvel. Pesquisa descritiva do tipo metodológica, realizada com base em indicadores empíricos das Necessidades Humanas Básicas (NHB) afetadas no contexto pré-hospitalar. Ancorada no referencial teórico de Horta; no Prehospital Trauma Life Support e na Classificação Internacional para a Prática de Enfermagem (CIPE®), versão 2017. Foram identificados 80 enunciados de Diagnósticos de Enfermagem da CIPE®, agrupados em oito NHB. Destes, 54 foram conceitos pré-coordenados de diagnósticos, 12 foram termos que constam no eixo foco da CIPE® e destacam-se os 14 enunciados de diagnósticos que foram elaborados. Concluiu-se que os resultados contribuem para reflexões acerca do modo de cuidar no Atendimento Pré-Hospitalar Móvel, fortalecendo um cuidado científico que fomenta o raciocínio clínico do enfermeiro.

Background: Patient selection for critical care admission must balance patient safety with optimal resource allocation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between critical care admission, and postoperative mortality after abdominal surgery. Methods: This prespecified secondary analysis of a multicentre, prospective, observational study included consecutive patients enrolled in the DISCOVER study from UK and Republic of Ireland undergoing major gastrointestinal and liver surgery between October and December 2014. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore associations between critical care admission (planned and unplanned) and mortality, and intercentre variation in critical care admission after emergency laparotomy. Results: Of 4529 patients included, 37.8% (n¼1713) underwent planned critical care admissions from theatre. Some 3.1% (n¼86/2816) admitted to ward-level care subsequently underwent unplanned critical care admission. Overall 30-day mortality was 2.9% (n¼133/4519), and the risk-adjusted association between 30-day mortality and critical care admission was higher in unplanned [odds ratio (OR): 8.65, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.51e19.97) than planned admissions (OR: 2.32, 95% CI: 1.43e3.85). Some 26.7% of patients (n¼1210/4529) underwent emergency laparotomies. After adjustment, 49.3% (95% CI: 46.8e51.9%, P<0.001) were predicted to have planned critical care admissions, with 7% (n¼10/145) of centres outside the 95% CI. Conclusions: After risk adjustment, no 30-day survival benefit was identified for either planned or unplanned postoperative admissions to critical care within this cohort. This likely represents appropriate admission of the highest-risk patients. Planned admissions in selected, intermediate-risk patients may present a strategy to mitigate the risk of unplanned admission. Substantial inter-centre variation exists in planned critical care admissions after emergency laparotomies.

Objetivo: validar a aparência e o conteúdo de um instrumento para Registro do Processo de Enfermagem no Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência. Método: estudo de abordagem quantitativa, em que o instrumento foi submetido à validação de aparência e conteúdo por comitê de 21 experts na área de atendimento pré-hospitalar móvel de urgência nacionalmente. Um Índice de Validade de Conteúdo (IVC) igual ou superior a 0,80 estabeleceu a validação. Resultados: obteve-se um IVC de 0,94. Apenas o item facilidade de leitura, relacionado à aparência, teve um índice abaixo do estabelecido. Foi possível avaliar as 99 intervenções de Enfermagem elencadas. Conclusão: o instrumento para Registro do Processo de Enfermagem no Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência foi considerado válido e pode possibilitar a documentação manual da prática do enfermeiro neste cenário.
