Resumo A partir da formação multiprofissional dos pesquisadores e estudantes interessados em bioética, o referencial teórico-prático da interdisciplinaridade tornou-se ferramenta indispensável no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Mediante estudo retrospectivo de frequência foi pesquisado o perfil curricular dos alunos ingressados no programa de pós-graduação stricto sensu da Cátedra Unesco de Bioética da Universidade de Brasília. Dos 145 estudantes matriculados no período entre 2008 e 2015, 57% ingressaram no mestrado; 41%, no doutorado e 2%, no pós-doutorado, provenientes de 15 estados e do Distrito Federal, de Argentina, Colômbia, Moçambique e Uruguai. Os alunos provêm de 29 graduações, sendo as principais: medicina (14%); direito e biologia (12% cada); odontologia (10%); psicologia e enfermagem (8% cada); fisioterapia e filosofia (7% cada). As áreas de conhecimento prevalentes foram ciências da saúde (58%); ciências humanas e sociais (34%) e ciências biológicas (4%). A epistemologia da bioética encontra na interdisciplinaridade o referencial inerente e fundamental para seu processo de ensino-aprendizagem.
Rev. Bras. Cir. Plást. 2011; 26(2): 221-7 221Complicações anestésicas em Cirurgia Plástica e a importância da consulta Complicações anestésicas em Cirurgia Plástica e a importância da consulta pré-anestésica como instrumento de segurança Preanesthetic evaluation: instrument for safety and prevention of Plastic Surgery anesthesia perioperative complications RESUMO Introdução: A anestesia para procedimentos de Cirurgia Plástica eletivos é geralmente muito segura, todavia o conhecimento das complicações mais frequentes e o controle efetivo são importantes para a segurança do paciente. A consulta pré-anestésica realizada por equipe formada por anestesista e enfermeiros já está estabelecida no contexto da segurança do paciente cirúrgico, pois pode reduzir as intercorrências intra e pós-operatórias e evitar desfechos desfavoráveis. Embora tenha custos efetivos e necessite mudanças de condutas, a consulta pré-anestésica já é uma recomendação do Conselho Federal de Medicina desde 2006. Os autores descrevem as complicações anestésicas em Cirurgia Plástica observadas, ao longo de um ano, no Hospital Sarah Brasília e contextualizam a importância da consulta pré-anestésica. Método: Realizou-se estudo de coorte retrospectiva e analítica de pacientes hospitalares, focado na causalidade abordando as complicações anestésicas dos procedimentos cirúrgicos realizados pela equipe da Cirurgia Plástica e outras especialidades no Hospital Sarah Brasília. Descreveu-se a consulta anestésica realizada rotineiramente no pré-operatório. Resultados: Observaram-se 14 (8%) casos, 11 homens e 3 mulheres, de 477 pacientes operados para procedimentos reconstrutivos pela equipe de Cirurgia Plástica entre 2006 e 2007. Doze dos pacientes apresentavam co-morbidades. As principais complicações foram hipertensão e hipotensão com desfecho favorável. Conclusão: No presente estudo, a incidência de complicações anestésicas foi de 8%, principalmente cardiovasculares e todas apresentaram desfecho favorável. Descritores: Anestesia. Anestesia/efeitos adversos. Cuidados Pré-Operatórios. ABSTRACT Introduction: Anesthesia for elective Plastic Surgery procedures is generally very safe, however the knowledge of the most common and effective control are important for patient safety. The authors consider the importance of pre-anesthetic performed by team of anesthesiologist and nurses in the context of patient safety in plastic surgery because it can reduce intra and postoperative outcomes and reduce complications. The anesthesia is a new trend in improving the quality of surgical patient safety. Although cost effective and require behavioral changes is already a recommendation of the Federal Council of Medicine since 2006.The authors describe the anesthetic complications observed in Plastic Surgery over a year at Sarah Hospital Brasilia and describe the pre-anesthetic evaluation importance of the relationship between pre-anesthetic and anesthetic complications. Methods: This is part of a retrospective cohort study of hospital patients and analytical, focused on cau...
Fibrous dysplasia is a bone disease characterized by abnormal differentiation of fibrous tissue in the bones; it is often asymptomatic. It may affect one bone (monostotic) or several bones (polyostotic). The monostotic form primarily affects the ribs, but hardly ever affects the hand. It is important to make the differential diagnosis with malignant bone tumors. This article describes the treatment and outcome of a rare case of a patient admitted with a history of tumor growth in the right hand, diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia of the right second metacarpal. Male patient, 14 years of age, admitted to the Sarah Hospital with lesion on the dorsum of the right hand without pain complaints, previous history of trauma, nor local signs of inflammation. Physical examination revealed swelling on the dorsum of the second metacarpal, painless, with unaltered mobility and sensitivity. Radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging indicated the involvement of the entire length of the second metacarpal: only the distal epiphysis was preserved, with areas of bone lysis. After biopsy confirmation, the patient underwent surgery, using a long cortical graft for reconstructing the metacarpal. During the follow-up period of five years there were no signs of recurrence, and proper digital growth and functionality of the operated hand were observed.
Patients with more impaired physical status (American Society of Anaesthesiology 3 and 4), with airway disease, tumor or parenchymal disease, diabetes or disorder of lipid metabolism, thyroid disease, former smokers and very prolonged anesthetic acts present a higher risk of anesthesia-related complications. Therefore, they should be actively investigated in the pre-anesthetic evaluation consultation.
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to describe the strategies adopted in this institution to diagnose and treat patients with benign tumors affecting the median nerve.MethodsA retrospective chart review study of all patients operated on between 2010 and 2015. Histology, symptoms, complementary exams, surgical techniques performed, and demographic characteristics were analyzed.ResultsFifty-four patients were included in the study. There were three neurofibromas, six schwannomas, 15 lipofibromatous hamartomas, three hemangiomas, 12 lipomas, one benign fibrohistiocytoma, and 14 synovial cysts. Complete tumoral resection was performed in 32 cases, partial resection in five, segmented nerve resection in one, nerve decompression in eight, and amputation for macrodactyly in eight.ConclusionsThe most important recommendations on treating benign tumors of the median nerve are related to the clinical symptoms, tumoral growth, and tumoral nature. The surgical approach resulted in good function for 60% of the patients. However, lipofibromatous hamartomas, hemangiomas, and neurofibromas were associated with preoperative functional deficit. It may be inferred that the diagnosis and treatment of these tumors should be performed earlier.
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.
