O prontuário do paciente (assim como as fichas clínicas utilizadas pelos profissionais da saúde) é constituído de um conjunto de documentos padronizados, contendo informações geradas a partir de fatos, acontecimentos e situações sobre a saúde do paciente e a assistência prestada a ele, de caráter legal, sigiloso e científico, e que possibilita a comunicação entre membros da equipe multiprofissional e a continuidade da assistência prestada ao indivíduo. Além da grande quantidade de informações contidas nos prontuários médicos, são muitas as queixas relacionadas a ilegibilidade das informações contidas no mesmo, as quais, poderão trazer danos irreversíveis para o paciente. Para garantir a integridade das informações entre toda a equipe que presta assistência ao paciente, a cada dia aumenta o número de profissionais da área da saúde ligados à prática digital, sendo a figura do prontuário eletrônico do paciente (PEP) uma realidade nas diferentes instituições de saúde. No entanto, apesar do PEP reduzir os custos e melhorar a qualidade do atendimento ao paciente, quando comparado aos registros em papel, as sociedades normatizadoras e reguladoras dos profissionais da saúde têm se preocupado muito com as questões éticas e legais do prontuário do paciente, onde a disponibilidade, a integridade, a auditoria, a confidencialidade e a privacidade, entre outros, são importantes aspectos que devem ser normatizados de forma transparente.
Introduction: New therapeutic approaches that aim to improve the sensation of dyspnea and fatigue in patients with heart failure, as the application of expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) should be tested in an attempt to improve functional capacity and quality of life. Objective: To evaluate the effects of the use of EPAP during exercise in patients with heart failure functional class II and III (NYHA). Methods: Of 390 patients, 28 were selected with LVEF <40%. The six-minute walk test (6'WT) was performed three times with and without the EPAP, reflecting the greater distance in the analysis. The comparison between the data obtained was performed by paired t test or Wilcoxon test as the normality of the data. Results: The use of EPAP increased volume without significant minutes, but the perceived exertion was higher after the walk with the use of the mask when compared in the absence of a mask. There was significant increase in oxygen saturation compared with the group that did not use the mask. There was no improvement in distance walked in 6'WT with the use of EPAP. Conclusion: Use of EPAP mask increases the perception of ventilatory effort and work, but its applicability in routine cardiac rehabilitation programs based on our preliminary data is questionable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
