Deterioration of respiratory function after intra-hospital transport of critically ill surgical patients

Abstract: Intra-hospital transport of ventilated critically ill patients may result in a considerable and long-standing deterioration of respiratory function. Patients ventilated with positive end-expiratory pressure are at an increased risk and the indication for procedures away from the ICU has to be weighted carefully in these subjects.

“…We opted to include even those patients for whom mechanical ventilation was initiated before MICU admission because clinical conditions may change significantly during intra-and interhospital patient transport, [21][22][23][24] particularly if sedatives or paralytics are administered, and we believe that it is prudent to reassess ventilation adequacy with an ABG upon MICU arrival. Furthermore, in our hospital, patients intubated on wards other than an ICU often are bag-ventilated until ICU arrival, at which time they are connected to the ventilator (time zero).…”

“…Respiratory acidosis and moderate-severe acidemia were less prevalent in these subjects (36 and 23% of non-MICU intubations vs 66 and 42% of MICU intubations, respectively), suggesting a certain degree of pre-MICU stabilization. However, clinical conditions may change significantly during intraand interhospital patient transport, [21][22][23][24] and it is prudent to reassess ventilation adequacy with an ABG upon MICU arrival. Low checklist adherence was also observed for subjects receiving spontaneous modes of ventilation, perhaps because they too were perceived as more stable.…”

“…A maior parte dos exames diagnósticos compreende a realização de exames de tomografia computadorizada do abdome para detectar pancreatite necro-hemorrágica ou abscessos intra-abdominais, do tórax para excluir abscesso pulmonar ou empiema, do crânio para seguimento do trauma crânio-encefálico e acidentes vasculares cerebrais, punções percutâneas guiadas por tomografia e angiografia para detecção de complicações tromboembólicas ou confirmação do diagnóstico de morte encefálica 8,9,10 . Os exames de imagem devem ser prontamente avaliados após a sua realização devido a possível necessidade de repetição, poupando desta forma um novo transporte.…”

“…O volume de ar a ser insuflado deve ser adequado para a expansão bilateral e simétrica da parede torácica do paciente (8 a 10 ml/Kg), mantendo uma relação inspiração: expiração em torno de 1:2 a 1:323. Deve-se utilizar um AMBU com reservatório, capaz de fornecer FiO 2 de 85 a 100% e, de preferência, com dispositivos capazes de ajustes de PEEP de até 15 cm H 2 O e de monitorização da pressão intra-traqueal 8,23 . Nos pacientes conscientes, deve-se tentar a sincronização do AMBU com os movimentos ventilató-rios do paciente, no entanto, mesmo para profissionais experientes há uma tendência à hiperventilação e um maior trabalho respiratório do paciente 11 .…”
