In a retrospective study the results of operatively treated ankle joints were critically discussed. In a period from January 1, 1977 to December 31, 1994, a total of 35 arthrodeses were carried out. Seventeen patients were followed up clinically, radiologically and with a gait analysis. Not only the radiological surgical result was of interest, but also the heel-toe movement of the stiffened foot in the individually adapted orthopedic footwear compared to standard footwear. A significantly improved heel-toe movement was found in orthopedic shoes, although there is a reduction of movement in the hindfoot in the sagittal plane.
Objetivo: Objetiva-se descrever a elaboração e validação de um bundle para prevenção de infecção de corrente sanguínea associada a cateter venoso central em pacientes com germes multirresistentes. Método: Estudo de validação por consenso entre especialistas, concebido em um hospital universitário. A amostra foi composta por 10 enfermeiros do setor e três da Comissão de Controle de Infecção da instituição, um acadêmico de enfermagem e um professor de uma universidade federal. Foi desenvolvido de janeiro a março de 2019. As informações foram coletadas por meio de registro sistemático das reuniões. Resultados: Elaborou-se um bundle para prevenção de infecção de corrente sanguínea associada ao cateter venoso central estabelecendo atividades específicas para cada membro da equipe. Instituiu-se a figura do especialista, profissional altamente qualificado e com carga horária específica para o cuidado aos cateteres. Conclusão: No Brasil, poucas são as instituições que possuem características semelhantes para cuidados de pacientes portadores de GMR. A utilização de um protocolo deve qualificar o atendimento a estes pacientes, aprimorando a segurança no cuidado e reduzindo a morbimortalidade por infecção nosocomial.
Objetivo: Describir las características de las lesiones por presión en pacientes adultos con gérmenes multirresistentes.Método: Este es un estudio transversal realizado con pacientes hospitalizados en la unidad de pacientes hospitalizados por gérmenes resistentes a múltiples fármacos de un hospital público en el sur de Brasil. Se seleccionaron pacientes con lesión por presión del estadio II. Los datos se recopilaron en 2017 de una muestra de 110 lesiones en 36 pacientes utilizando la Herramienta de evaluación de heridas Bates-Jensen (BWAT). Los datos se analizaron mediante estadísticas descriptivas y analíticas. Resultados: La edad promedio de los individuos fue de 45.4 (± 21.3) años y el 89.1% había sido hospitalizado con una lesión por presión, que ocurrió en el hogar o en otras instituciones de salud. El valor medio de BWAT fue de 35.5 ± 8.9 puntos y hubo una correlación positiva débil (r = 0.228 p = 0.017) con el tamaño de la lesión, correlación positiva moderada con el estadio de la lesión (r = 540 p <0.001). y con el resultado de la escala de Braden (r = 0.44 p = 0.651).Conclusión: Los resultados muestran la enfermedad de pacientes jóvenes. Los pacientes con gérmenes multirresistentes presentaron lesiones por presión con una mayor participación de las estructuras, lo que sugiere la necesidad de apoyo en el hogar. Objective: To describe the characteristics of the pressure lesions in adult patients with multiresistant germs.Method: This is a cross-sectional study conducted with patients admitted to the inpatient unit for multidrug resistant germs in a public hospital in Brazil. Patients with pressure lesions from stage II were selected. Data collection took place in 2017, in a sample of 110 injuries, in patients, through the Pressure Ulcer State Assessment Instrument (Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool - BWAT). Results: The average age of the individuals was 45.4 (± 21.3) years old and 89.1% had already suffered pressure lesions, such as those that occurred at home or in other health institutions. The mean BWAT value was 35.5 ± 8.9 points and there was a weak positive correlation (r = 0.228 p = 0.017) with lesion size, moderate positive correlation with lesion stage (r = 540 p <0.001), and with the result of the Braden scale (r = 0.44 p = 0.651).Conclusion: The results indicated the illness of young patients. Patients with multiresistant germs suffered pressure lesions with greater involvement of structures, which suggests the need for home support.
Objetivo: verificar presença de estresse psicossocial e escores de resiliência nos profissionais da enfermagem que cuidam de adultos com germes multirresistentes. Método: estudo transversal, realizado em uma unidade de internação para adultos, em um hospital universitário. A amostra foi intencional, composta por 39 profissionais da enfermagem, com dados coletados de janeiro a maio de 2014 por meio dos questionários Desequilíbrio Esforço-Recompensa e Escore de Resiliência. Resultados: a média de idade foi de 39,2±9,0 anos. Observou-se que 69,23% (27) dos profissionais apresentaram elevado estresse psicossocial e 56,41% (22) baixa resiliência. A correlação entre o estresse psicossocial e a resiliência foi de r= 0,3 (p= 0,001). Conclusão: identificou-se elevado percentual de profissionais com estresse psicossocial e com baixa resiliência, indicando risco de adoecimento psicoemocional e físico. Este resultado reforça a importância de revisar a organização do trabalho, estimulando a implementação de programas para aumento dos escores de resiliência.
Background: Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion is the most common invasive procedure in the hospital setting. Ultrasound guided PIVC insertion in specific populations and settings has shown patient care benefits. Objective: To compare the success rate of first attempts of ultrasound guided PIVC insertion performed by nurse specialists with conventional PIVC insertion performed by nurse assistants. Method: Randomized, controlled, single-center clinical trial registered on the ClinicalTrials.gov platform under registration NTC04853264, conducted at a public university hospital from June to September 2021. Adult patients hospitalized in clinical inpatient units with an indication for intravenous therapy compatible with a peripheral venous network were included. Participants in the intervention group (IG) received ultrasound guided PIVC performed by nurse specialists from the vascular access team, while those in the control group (CG) received conventional PIVC by nurse assistants. Results: The study included a total of 166 patients: IG ( n = 82) and CG ( n = 84), mean age 59.5 ± 16.5 years, mostly women ( n = 104, 62.7%) and white ( n = 136, 81.9%). Success rate on the first attempt of PIVC insertion in IG was 90.2% and in CG was 35.7% ( p < 0.001), with a relative risk of 2.5 (95% CI 1.88–3.40) for success in IG versus CG. Overall assertiveness rate was 100% in IG and 71.4% in CG. Regarding procedure performance time, the medians in IG and CG were 5 (4–7) and 10 (6–27.5) min respectively ( p < 0.001). As for the incidence of negative composite outcomes, IG had lower rates compared to CG, 39% versus 66.7% ( p < 0.001), generating a 42% lower probability of negative outcomes in IG, 0.58 (95% CI: 0.43–0.80). Conclusion(s): Successful first-try insertion was higher in the group receiving ultrasound-guided PIVC. Moreover, there were no insertion failures and IG presented lower insertion time rates and incidence of unfavorable outcomes.
