INTRODUÇÃO E OBJETIVOS: A Circulação extracorpórea (CEC) é associada a ativação leucocitária, resposta inflamatória e disfunção pulmonar. Objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos da filtragem leucocitária sobre a resposta inflamatória e a função pulmonar em indivíduos submetidos à revascularização do miocárdio (RM) com CEC. MÉTODO: Após aprovação pelo Comitê de Ética Institucional e obtenção do consentimento informado dos indivíduos, foi realizado estudo prospectivo randomizado, para comparar indivíduos adultos submetidos à RM com CEC, utilizando-se filtragem leucocitária (n=09) ou filtro standard (n=11) durante a CEC. Tomografia computadorizada (CT) de tórax, espirometria, análise da oxigenação e hemograma foram realizados antes da cirurgia. A anestesia foi induzida por via venosa com etomidato (0,3 mg.kg-1), sufentanil (0,3 ug.kg-1), pancurônio (0,08 mg.kg-1) e mantida com isoflurano (0,5 - 1,0 CAM) e sufentanil (0,5 ug.kg-1.h-1). A ventilação mecânica utilizou volume corrente de 8 mL.kg-1, com FiO2 de 0,6 e PEEP de 5 cm H2O, exceto durante a CEC. No grupo Filtragem, durante a CEC, foi inserido um filtro de leucócitos na linha arterial do circuito (LG-6, Pall Biomedical Products) e, no grupo Controle, foi utilizado o filtro Standard. Contagem leucocitária foi realizada após a indução, aos 5, 25 e 50 min de CEC, ao final da cirurgia, com 12 e 24 h PO. Dados hemodinâmicos, PaO2/FiO2, fração de Shunt, interleucinas, elastase e mieloperoxidase foram colhidos antes e após a CEC, no final da cirurgia, com 6,12 e 24 h PO. Trinta minutos depois da indução, e trinta após a CEC, três amostras sequenciais de ar exalado foram colhidas para análise de óxido nítrico (NO), por quimiluminescência. Espirometria e CT de tórax foram realizadas no primeiro dia pós-operatório. Os dados foram analisados por meio de ANOVA de duplo fator para medidas repetidas. RESULTADOS: O tempo de CEC foi similar entre os grupos controle e filtragem (86,78 ± 19,58 versus 104,64 ± 27,76 min, p=0,161). O grupo Filtragem mostrou menor contagem leucocitária que o grupo Controle até 50 min de CEC (3384 ± 2025 versus 6478 ± 3582 U.mm-3 U.mm-3, p=0,036), menor fração de shunt até 6 h PO (10 ± 2% versus 16 ± 5%, p=0,040) e menores níveis de IL-10 até o final da cirurgia (1571 ± 1137 pg.mL-1 versus 3108 ± 1694 pg.mL-1, p=0,031). Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos em relação ao restante dos parâmetros avaliados (p > 0,05). CONCLUSÕES: A filtragem leucocitária durante a CEC, quando comparada à utilização de filtro convencional, promove diminuição da contagem de neutrófilos até 50 minutos de CEC, menor liberação de IL-10 até o final da cirurgia e menor alteração da fração de shunt intrapulmonar até 6 h PO, protegendo os pulmões apenas temporariamente contra a injúria aguda relacionada / BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is related to leukocyte activation, inflammatory response and lung dysfunction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of CPB-leukocyte filtration on the inflammatory response and lung function after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS: After approval by the institutional ethics committee and informed consent, a prospective randomized study was performed to compare CABG-patients undergoing CPB-leukocyte filtration (n=9) or standard CPB (n=11). Espirometry, chest computed tomography (CT), oxygenation analysis and leukocyte count were performed before surgery. Anesthesia induction was performed intravenously with etomidate (0,3 mg.kg-1), sufentanil (0,3 ug.kg-1), pancuronium bromide (0,08 mg.kg-1) e sustained with isoflurano (0,5 - 1,0 CAM) and sufentanil (0,5 ug.kg-1.h-1). The tidal volume used during mechanical ventilation was 8 mL.kg-1, the FiO2 0.6 and PEEP 5 cm H2O, except during CPB. In Filtered group, during CPB, was inserted a leukocyte filter in the arterial line of CPB circuit (LG-6, Pall Biomedical Products) and, in Control group, the Standard arterial line filter was utilized. Hemodynamic data, PaO2/FiO2, shunt fraction, interleukins, elastase and myeloperoxidase were evaluated before and after CPB, at the end of surgery, and 6, 12 and 24 h PO. Thirty minutes after induction, and Thirty after CPB, three sequential exhaled air samples were collected to perform analysis of nitric oxide (NO), by chemiluminescence technique. Espirometry and chest CT were performed on first PO. Data were analyzed using two-factor ANOVA for repeated measurements. RESULTS: Length of CPB was similar in the filtered and control groups (86.78 ± 19.58 versus 104.64 ± 27.76 min, p = 0.161). The filtered group showed lower neutrophil counts than the control group up to 50 minutes of CPB (3384 ± 2025 versus 6478 ± 3582 U/mm-3, p = 0.036), lower shunt fraction up to 6 hours after surgery (10 ± 2% versus 16 ± 5%, p = 0.040), and lower levels of IL-10 at the end of surgery (1571 ± 1137 pg.ml-1 versus 3108 ± 1694 pg.ml-1, p = 0.031). There were no significant differences between the groups with respect to rest of the parameters evaluated (p >u0,05). CONCLUSIONS: The leukocyte filtration during CPB, when compared to the use of conventional filter, promotes lower neutrophil counts up to 50 minutes of CPB, lower levels of IL-10 at the end of surgery and lower shunt fraction up to 6 hours after surgery, protecting the lungs only temporarily against the acute injury related Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT01469676

L’arrêt cardiaque extra-hospitalier (ACEH) est un problème de santé publique majeur. La réanimation cardio-pulmonaire (RCP) précoce ainsi que la défibrillation par les témoins sont associées à une augmentation du taux de survie. Cependant, malgré d’importants efforts ces dernières années, les taux de survie restent faibles dans la plupart des pays. Ce travail avait pour objectif d’identifier des facteurs ayant un impact sur la défibrillation publique, la RCP précoce et les connaissances du public sur la défibrillation. Nous avons testé différentes stratégies de déploiement des défibrillateurs automatisés externes (DAE). Nous avons également analysé l’effet du niveau socio-économique des quartiers sur la RCP par les témoins. Enfin, nous avons cherché à évaluer les connaissances du public concernant la localisation et les conditions d’utilisation du DAE le plus proche dans des lieux publics très fréquentés. Tous les ACEH survenus à Paris entre 2000 et 2010 ont été enregistrés dans un registre et géocodés. Nous avons comparé une stratégie basée sur les recommandations de placement d’un DAE dans les lieux où plus d’un ACEH survenait tous les cinq ans à deux nouvelles stratégies : une stratégie de maillage régulier du territoire avec des DAE placés à distances régulières et une stratégie de placement dans différents types de lieux publics. Le nombre de DAE nécessaires ainsi que la distance médiane entre les ACEH et le DAE le plus proche étaient calculés pour chaque stratégie. Nous avons également recherché l’association entre le niveau socio-économique des quartiers sur le fait de bénéficier d’une RCP. Enfin, nous avons réalisé une enquête dans des lieux publics très fréquentés (gare, centres commerciaux, jardin public) auprès de toutes les personnes situées dans un rayon de 100 mètres autour d’un DAE pour analyser leur connaissance de la localisation du DAE et leur capacité à l’utiliser. Parmi 4176 ACEH, 1372 (33%) sont survenus dans des lieux publics. La stratégie basée sur les recommandations aurait conduit au placement de 170 DAE avec une distance aux ACEH de 416 (180-614) mètres et une augmentation continue du nombre de DAE. Avec la stratégie de maillage régulier du territoire, le nombre de DAE et la distance aux ACEH auraient changé selon la taille du maillage avec un nombre optimal de DAE évalué entre 200 et 400. Avec la stratégie de placement dans différents types de lieux publics, la distance médiane entre les ACEH et les DAE aurait été de 324 mètres pour les bureaux de poste (195), 239 mètres pour les stations de métro (302), 137 mètres pour les stations Velib’ (957) et 142 mètres pour les pharmacies (1466). Parmi les 4009 ACEH géocodables enregistrés, 777 (19,4%) ont bénéficié d’une RCP par un témoin. Ceux qui en ont bénéficié étaient plus fréquemment dans un lieu public, en présence d’un témoin et dans un quartier de statut socio-économique (SSE) non défavorisé. Dans une analyse multiniveaux la RCP par les témoins était significativement moins fréquente dans les quartiers de SSE défavorisé que dans les quartiers d’autres SSE (OR 0,85 ; 95% IC 0,72-0,99). Notre enquête a été menée auprès de 301 participants. Environ la moitié des participants (49%) avaient bénéficié d’une formation aux premiers secours, dont 70% après 2007 et 37% qui avaient suivi une initiation d’une heure. Le logo universel des DAE était reconnu par 37% des participants et 64% pouvaient reconnaître un DAE en photo. La localisation du DAE le plus proche était connue par 16% des participants avec un impact positif des formations après 2007 et de la reconnaissance du logo ou des photos (p<0,0001). Une majorité de participants (66%) savaient qu’ils avaient le droit d’utiliser un DAE et 59% savaient dans quelles circonstances l’utiliser. Seulement 25% des participants déclaraient savoir comment utiliser un DAE. Notre travail présente une approche originale pour optimiser les stratégies de déploiement des DAE. (...) / Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major public health concern. Early bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation are associated with higher survival rates for OHCA victims. Unfortunately, despite major efforts over the past decade, survival rates remain low in many communities. This work sought to highlight factors affecting public defibrillation, early CPR and public knowledge on defibrillation. We assessed different strategies for Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) deployment. We also aimed to focus effect of neighborhood socio-economic status on bystander CPR. Finally, we sought to analyze public awareness of the AED nearest location and knowledge of AED use. All OHCAs attended by EMS in Paris between 2000 and 2010 were prospectively recorded and geocoded. We compared a guidelines-based strategy of placing an AED in locations where more than one OHCA had occurred within the past five years to two novel strategies: a grid-based strategy with a regular distance between AEDs and a landmark-based strategy. The expected number of AEDs necessary and their median (IQR) distance to the nearest OHCA were assessed for each strategy. We also evaluated the relationship between neighbourhood SES characteristics and the fact of receiving bystander CPR. Then, we performed a survey in three kinds of places (train station, city mall and public park) of all individuals within 100 meters from an AED to analyze their knowledge of the closest AED location and their confidence to use it. Of 4,176 OHCAs, 1,372 (33%) occurred in public settings. The guidelines-based strategy would result in the placement of 170 AEDs, with a distance to OHCA of 416 (180-614) meters and a continuous increase in the number of AEDS. In grid-based strategy, the number of AEDs and their distance to the closest OHCA would change with the grid size, with a number of AEDs between 200 and 400 seeming optimal. In landmark-based strategy, median distances between OHCAs and AEDs would be 324 meters if placed at post offices (n=195), 239 at subway stations (n=302), 137 at bike-sharing stations (n=957), and 142 at pharmacies (n=1466). Of the 4,009 OHCA with mappable addresses recorded, 777 (19.4%) received bystander CPR. Those receiving it were more likely to be in public locations, have had a witness to their OHCA, and to have collapsed in a non-low SES neighbourhood. In a multilevel analyses, bystander CPR provision was significantly less frequent in low than in higher SES neighbourhoods (OR 0.85; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.72-0.99). A total of 301 people responded to the survey. About half respondents (49%) had a Basic Life Support training experience with 70 % of them trained after 2007 and 37% who attempted a one hour training initiation. The universal AED sign was recognized by 37% of all respondents and 64% could recognize an AED on a picture. The closest AED location was known by 16% of the respondents with a positive impact of training after 2007 and knowledge of AED sign and picture (p<0.0001). A majority of respondents (66%), considered they had the right to use an AED and 59% knew in which circumstances it is necessary to use it. Only 25% of the respondents declared to know how to use an AED. Our work presents an original evidence-based approach to strategies of AED deployment to optimize their number and location. This rational approach can estimate the optimal number of AEDs for any city. In Paris, OHCA victims were less likely to receive bystander CPR in low SES neighbourhoods. These first European data are consistent with observations in North America and Asia. Our survey conducted in places known to be at risk of OHCA highlights the need for a better AED visibility in public places and the need to improve public knowledge and confidence in the use of AED.

Este estudo objetivou conhecer a prevalência de parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR) atendida pelo SAMU de Araras entre 2001 e 2007, caracterizar as vítimas segundo o sexo, faixa etária, antecedentes mórbidos, natureza traumática do evento; a parada ter sido presenciada, realização de ressuscitação cardiopulmonar (RCP) por familiares/acompanhantes, tempo resposta, tipo de suporte de vida recebido na cena, indicação de choque pelo Desfibrilador Externo Automático (DEA), assim como identificar as variáveis significativas para o retorno da circulação espontânea na cena. Os dados foram coletados retrospectivamente das fichas de atendimento das vítimas de PCR do SAMU de Araras após aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da EEUSP. Foram selecionadas 328 fichas que preencheram os critérios de inclusão. O SAMU de Araras realizou 28.924 atendimentos gerais no período estudado, dos quais em 330 foram iniciadas as manobras de ressuscitação cardiopulmonar. A taxa de PCR no período avaliado é 1,13%, com predomínio do sexo masculino 208 (64,60%) e faixa etária entre 70 e 79 anos, média de idade 63,35 anos. Os antecedentes mórbidos mais citados foram cardiopatias (29,48%), hipertensão arterial sistêmica (25,43%) e diabetes (12,14%), a maioria com citação de um único antecedente ou sem este registro. Não havia trauma associado em 302 (92,64%) vítimas. O DEA foi utilizado em 280 (85,37%) vítimas, com indicação de choque em 95 (29%). A PCR foi presenciada em 115 (35,00%) vítimas, para as quais houve maior percentual de início de RCP (p=0,004) pela família/ acompanhante e houve mais indicação de choque pelo DEA(p<0,001) em relação às vítimas que foram encontradas em PCR. Houve maior proporção do retorno da circulação espontânea nas vítimas que receberam suporte avançado de vida na cena 54(31,76%), (p=0,018) em relação às que receberam somente suporte básico de vida. O tempo resposta médio foi de 05:24 minutos. Pela análise univariada, as seguintes variáveis foram significativas (p<0,05) para o retorno da circulação espontânea: faixa etária (p=0,018), diabetes melitus (p<0,001), responsividade (p=0,041), pulso carotídeo presente na avaliação inicial (p= 0,001), compressões torácicas pelo SAMU (p=0,028), choque pelo DEA (p<0,001), suporte avançado de vida (p=0,018), intubação traqueal (p<0,001). No modelo de regressão logística múltipla apenas \"pulso carotídeo presente na abordagem inicial\" foi selecionada como preditora independente para o retorno da circulação espontânea na cena (Odds Ratio 4,03), p =0,002.Concluiu-se que o serviço oferece um tempo resposta dentro dos padrões mundialmente recomendados e que as vítimas que tiveram PCR presenciada, apesar de receberem proporcionalmente mais RCP pela família/acompanhante e terem mais indicação de choque pelo DEA, não apresentaram mais retorno da circulação espontânea na cena. As vítimas com pulso presente na avaliação inicial do SAMU, isto é, as que tiveram a PCR presenciada pela equipe, ou tempo resposta \"zero\" têm 4,03 mais chances de retorno da circulação espontânea na cena, sendo esta variável a única preditora independente. O investimento em capacitação permanente da equipe do SAMU, ensino da população a reconhecer um evento crítico, iniciar manobras de reanimação e acionar precocemente o SAMU poderão contribuir para aumentar as chances de sobrevivência de vítimas de PCR em ambiente pré-hospitalar / The objective of this study was to know the prevalence of cardiac arrest (CA) assisted by Emergency Medical Service of the City of Araras (SAMU-Araras), SP, Brazil, between 2001 and 2007, classifying victims according to the gender, age groups, morbid antecedents, traumatic nature of the event, witnessed arrest, accomplishment of cardiopulmonar ressuscitation (CPR) by bystanders, time elapsed between the call of SAMU and the arrival of the EMS team to the site (time-response), type of life support received on-scene, shock indication for AED, as well as to compare the outcome of these cases, in terms of return of the spontaneous circulation (ROSC) still on scene, according to those variables. Data were collected from the records of SAMU of Araras, after approval of the Research Ethics Board of the Nurse School of University of São Paulo (EEUSP). 328 records that fulfilled the criteria were selected. SAMU-Araras accomplished 28.924 general medical attendances in the period of the study. In 330, CPR was performed (1.13%). Man (64.60%) and age group between 70 e 79 years old were predominants, and 63,35 yo. was the average. The mentioned prior diseases were cardiopathy (29.48%), sistemic arterial hypertension (25.43%) and diabetes (12.14%), most of all with just one problem cited or even no prior diseases. There was not associated trauma in 92.64% of the cases. AED was used in 85.37% of the cases were CPR was performed, with shock indication in 95 (29%) victims. CA was witnessed in 115 (35.00%) victims. In these cases, CPR performed by relatives were more frequent (p=0.004), as well as shock was more frequently indicated (p <0.001) compared with those where CA was not witnessed. There was larger proportion (51.83%) of ROSC in the victims that received advanced life support on scene, (p=0.018) comparing to the ones that received only basic life support. The time-response average was 05:24 minutes. The following variables presented statistical association (p <0.05) for ROSC: age group (p=0.018), diabetes (p <0.001), responsivity (p=0.041), carotid pulse present at the time of initial assesment (p=0,001), thoracic compressions by the SAMU team (p=0.028), shock delivered by AED (p <0.001), advanced life support performed (p = 0.018), and use of tracheal tube (p <0.001). In the statistical model of multiple logistics regression only the variable \"carotid pulse present at the time of initial assesment\" was selected as independent predictor for the return of the spontaneous circulation on scene (Odds Ratio 4.03), p =0.002. In conclusion, the SAMU-Araras offers a time-response according to international recommendations. Victims that have had witnessed CA, although received more frequenty CPR and recommended shock, they did not have better outcomes. The victims with present pulse in the initial assessment by the SAMU team, or in other words, the ones that presented CA witnessed by the SAMU team, had 4.03 more times in terms of chances of ROSC on scene, being this an independent predictor. The investment in permanent training of the SAMU professionals, the education for the people recognize a critical event and immediately to begin CPR can contribute to increase the survival chances for victims of CA in prehospital environment

Introdução: No panorama mundial, as doenças cardiovasculares configuram-se como principal causa da parada cardiorrespiratória em adultos, cujas chances de sobrevivência são maiores, quando presenciada por pessoas aptas para prover o suporte básico de vida (SBV) na reanimação imediata. Objetivo: Desenvolver e avaliar o curso online Suporte Básico de Vida: aspectos essenciais no atendimento do adulto em parada cardiorrespiratória. Método: Em primeira etapa, trata de pesquisa aplicada, de produção tecnológica acerca do desenvolvimento do curso online sobre SBV, utilizando design instrucional baseado no modelo ADDIE (Analisys-Análise, Design-Desenho, Development-Desenvolvimento, Implementation-Implementação, Evaluation-Avaliação). Nessa perspectiva, foi avaliado por especialistas e estudantes. A segunda etapa configura-se em delineamento quase-experimental, do tipo antes-depois. O curso online foi aplicado aos estudantes da Escola de Enfermagem da Universidade de São Paulo, como intervenção educacional, em 2014-2015. Os estudantes foram avaliados mediante pré-teste, pós-teste e simulação em prática presencial com dispositivos de feedback.

A maioria era do sexo feminino (90,4%), do 1º e 2º ano (65%), idade média 21,48 (DP 2,39). Adotando nível de significância 95%, a média das notas no pré-teste foi 6,4 (DP 1,61), pós-teste 9,3 (DP 0,82), p<0,001. ANOVA para medidas repetidas indicou diferenças significativas (p<0,001) entre médias das notas no pré-teste dos estudantes do 1º e 2º ano 6,2 (DP 1,59) e do 3º e 4º ano 7,2 (DP 0,83). Média das notas do pós-teste foi 9,2 (DP 1,60) nos dois primeiros anos e 9,7 (DP 0,61) nos dois últimos anos, p<0,475. Regressão linear múltipla com inclusão progressiva (forward stepwise) para variáveis associadas ao aprendizado mostrou-se significativa (p<0,015) com ano de curso no Bacharelado -0,542 (EP 0,215) e participação anterior em curso de emergência -0,903 (EP 0,437). Na prática simulada, a média das notas foi de 9,1 (DP 0,95). Registros do checklist indicaram que 98% dos estudantes realizaram exposição do tórax, 97% avaliaram respiração, 76% se lembraram de chamar serviço de emergência, 92% solicitaram desfibrilador, 77% verificaram pulso corretamente, 87% posicionaram as mãos no tórax corretamente, 95% efetuaram ciclo de 30 compressões adequadamente, 89% em profundidade mínima 5 cm, 90% liberaram tórax após compressão, 97% alternaram 2 ventilações corretamente, 97% usaram Desfibrilador Externo Automático, 100% posicionaram as pás corretamente. Registros do dispositivo de feedback indicaram percentual de desempenho equivalente a Reanimação Cardiopulmonar Básica 43,7 (DP 26,86), médias de duração ciclo compressões/seg 20,5 (DP 9,47), do número de compressões 167,2 (DP 57,06), da profundidade compressões/mm 48,1 (DP 10,49), do volume de ventilação 742,7 (DP 301,12), do percentual de fração de fluxo 40,3 (DP 10,03). O curso foi bem avaliado pelos estudantes e especialistas, com reações positivas quanto ao conteúdo, objetividade, clareza, didática, organização, acesso e navegação. Conclusão: Confirmou-se a plausibilidade da hipótese do estudo, corroborando a contribuição do curso online no aprendizado sobre SBV. Mostrando-se efetivo no suporte ao ensino em Enfermagem, o curso online permite integrar apresentações em diferentes disciplinas e capacitações, frente a necessidade de inovações tecnológicas e estratégias educacionais ativas, em ações para identificação precoce da parada cardiorrespiratória e sistematização do atendimento na reanimação cardiopulmonar. / Introduction: In the world scene, cardiovascular diseases constitute the main cause of cardiac arrest in adults, whose chances of survival are higher if witnessed by persons able to provide the basic life support (BLS) in immediate resuscitation. Objective: To develop and to evaluate the online course \"Basic Life Support: essential aspects in adult cardiac arrest. Method: In the first stage it refers to the applied research of production technology on the development of online course on BLS, with the instructional design ADDIE (Analisys, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). In the second stage, in quasi-experimental, before and after design, the online course was applied to students of Escola de Enfermagem, Universidade de São Paulo, as an educational intervention in 2014-2015. Pre-test, post-test and simulation with feedback devices were applied. The online course was evaluated by specialists and students. Results: The course was implemented in the virtual environment and 94 (100%) students who agreed to participate of the research, 88 (94%) accessed the virtual environment, 67 (71%) completed the theoretical part and 62 (66%) completed the online course. The majority were women (90.4%), in the 1st and 2nd year (65%), mean age 21.48 (SD 2.39). With 95% significance level, the mean grade in the pre-test 6.4 (SD 1.61), in the post-test 9.3 (SD 0.82), p <0.001. ANOVA for repeated measures showed significant differences (p <0.001) between the average scores in the pre-tests of students in the 1st and 2nd years 6.2 (SD 1.59) and the 3rd and 4th years 7.2 (SD 0, 83). The averages note in the post-test 9.2 (SD 1.60) in the first two years and 9.7 (SD 0.61) in the last two years, p<0,475. In multiple linear regression with progressive inclusion (stepwise forward) for variables associated with learning, it was significant (p <0.015) for year course -0.542 (SE 0.215), previous participation in emergency course -0.903 (SE 0.437). In simulated practice the mean score was 9.1 (SD 0.95). The checklist records showed 98% students performed exposure of the chest, 97% observed the breathing, 76% remembered to call emergency services, 92% requested defibrillator, 77% checked the pulse correctly, 87% positioned their hands properly, 95% effected 30 compressions cycle properly, 89% in minimum depth 5 cm, 90% released after chest compression, 97% correctly applied 2 breaths, 97% used External Automatic Defibrillator, 100% positioned blades correctly. Feedback device records indicated equivalent percentage of performance Basic CPR 43.7 (SD 26.86), the averages of duration compressions cycle / second 20.5 (SD 9.47), compressions number 167.2 (SD 57.06) depth compressions/mm 48.1 (SD 10.49), ventilation volume 742.7 (SD 301.12), percentage flow fraction 40.3 (SD 10.03). The course was evaluated as good quality by participants, with positive reactions about the content, objectivity, clarity, teaching, organization, access and navigation. Conclusion: The plausibility of the hypothesis of this study was confirmed, corroborating the online courses contribution in the BLS learning. In support teaching in Nursing, it lets to compose presentations in different disciplines and training, arising from the need for technological innovations and active educational strategies in action for early identification of cardiac arrest and systematization of care in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

A parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR) no pré-hospitalar é tida como a terceira causa de morte nos Estados Unidos da América (EUA) e as doenças isquêmicas cardíacas são consideradas as principais causas de morte súbita na Europa. No mundo ocidental, inclusive no Brasil, o infarto agudo do miocárdio é responsável por grande número desses óbitos. Avaliar a qualidade da assistência prestada as pessoas que sofreram PCR em ambiente pré-hospitalar, podem influenciar nas sobrevivências destes pacientes. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os registros das Fichas de Sistematização da Assistência de Enfermagem (FSAE) do Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência (SAMU) Regional Ribeirão Preto das pessoas que sofreram PCR em ambiente pré-hospitalar. Trata-se de um estudo analítico retrospectivo de análise documental das FSAE no período de a janeiro de 2011 à dezembro de 2013. Foram incluídos, atendimentos as pessoas maiores de 18 anos e PCR de origem cardíaca. Foi realizado analise estatística no Programa SPSS versão 17.0 e aplicaram-se os testes Qui-Quadrado ou exato de Fisher. Valores com p<0,005 foram considerados significantes. Foram analisados 439 (100%) registros de pessoas que sofreram PCR. O sexo masculino representou 54,2%, a mediana de idade foi de 64 anos. Pessoas sofreram mais PCR com idade acima de 61 anos 54,9%. As cardiopatias foram as comorbidades mais prevalentes. O ritmo inicial foi a assistolia em 28% dos casos e a adrenalina 31% foi o medicamento mais administrado. Os atendimentos realizados pelo SAMU foram categorizados em: local de maior ocorrência foi nas residências 47,8% seguido das unidades de saúde 43,5%; o período matutino 33,5% foi maior empenho da ambulância; as pessoas sofreram mais PCR as segundas, quartas e sextas feiras igualmente, sendo que, o sexo feminino teve maior frequência de PCR aos domingos e o sexo masculino, as sextas-feiras; o inverno 26%,foi a estação do ano que mais ocorreu o evento. Para verificar a associação entre as variáveis categóricas, sexo, faixa etária, empenho da ambulância, dias da semana, com o local de ocorrência da PCR aplicou-se os testes Qui-Quadrado ou exato de Fisher, na qual não houve diferença estatisticamente significante (p>0.005). Independente do sexo, ter idade acima de 61 anos teve associação com o evento de PCR, (p = 0,002) em comparação com as outras faixas etárias. Entre as variáveis categóricas sexo, faixa etária, empenho da ambulância, dias da semana, final de semana e semana associado com desfecho (óbito e sobrevivência) do evento da PCR não apresentou diferença estatisticamente significante(p>0,005). Local de ocorrência comparado ao desfecho teve diferença estatisticamente significante (p=0,001) as pessoas que sofreram PCR nas unidades de saúde, 160(76,9%) sobreviveram, comparado a sobrevivência nas residências 34(16,3%). Recomenda um investimento nos sistemas educacionais, colocando em execução a ciência da ressuscitação, por meio de treinamentos práticos de habilidades em RCP à prestadores de saúde e leigos / A cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA) in pre-hospital care is the third cause of death in the United States of America (USA) and the ischemic cardiac diseases are considered the main sudden death causes in Europe. In the western world, including Brazil, the acute myocardial infarction is responsible for a big part of these deaths. Evaluating the quality of the assistance provided to people who suffered CRA in pre-hospital care, can have an influence in these patients\' survivals. The purpose of this study was to analyze the data in the nursing assistance systematization records (NASR) of the emergency medical services (SAMU) in Ribeirão Preto regarding those people who suffered CRA in pre-hospital care. This is a retrospective analytical study of documentary analysis of the NASR from January 2011 to December 2013 in which caring for people over 18 years old and CRA of clinical origin were included. A statistical analysis was performed on the SPSS 17.0 summer version show where the chi-square and Fisher\'s exact test were applied. Values with p<0,005 were considered significant. Among the records of people who suffered CRA, 439 (100%) were analyzed, being 54,2% males with an average of 64 years old. Most people who suffered CRA were over 61 years old. Heart diseases were the most prevalent comorbidities. The initial rhythm was the asystole in 28% of the cases and the adrenalin in 31% being the most administered medicine. The medical cares performed by SAMU were categorized in: residence 47,8%, health units 43,5% being 33,5% morning period, the greater commitment of ambulances. People suffered more CRA on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays whereas females suffered most CRA on Sundays and males on Fridays and winter 26%, was the season of the year that most of those cases happened. To check the variation between the categorical variables such as gender, age range, commitment of ambulance, days of the week with the place where the CRA happened the chi-square and Fisher\'s exact test were applied in which there was not a significant statistic difference (p>0.005). Regardless the gender, being over 61 years old was related to the CRA event, (p = 0,002) comparing to other age ranges. Among categorical variables gender, age range, commitment of ambulance, days of the week, weekends and week related to denouement (death and survival) of the CRA event, there was not a significant statistic difference (p>0,005). Place where it happened comparing to the denouement there was a statistic difference (p=0,001) people who suffered CRA in the health units, 160(76,9%) survived comparing to residences\' survivals 34(16,3%). In conclusion, an investment in the education system by putting into execution resuscitation science and practical abilities trainings regarding CRA -not only to health professionals but also to people who are untrained - is recommended

OBJETIVOS: O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar se a transfusão de hemácias no intraoperatório de cirurgia cardíaca com circulação extracorpórea está associada a complicações clínicas incluindo choque cardiogênico, arritmia, insuficiência renal aguda, isquemia miocárdica, choque séptico, necessidade de reintubação orotraqueal, acidente vascular cerebral ou mortalidade durante a internação hospitalar. DESENHO: Estudo clínico de coorte retrospectivo e unicêntrico com escore de propensão, realizado no Instituto do Coração (InCor) do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. PACIENTES: Pacientes adultos submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca eletiva com circulação extracorpórea no período de janeiro de 2004 a dezembro de 2008. DESFECHO PRIMÁRIO: Complicações clínicas durante a internação hospitalar (choque cardiogênico, arritmia, insuficiência renal aguda, isquemia miocárdica, choque séptico, necessidade de reintubação orotraqueal, acidente vascular cerebral ou mortalidade hospitalar). DESFECHO SECUNDÁRIO: 1- Avaliar o efeito da transfusão de hemácias no intraoperatório no tempo livre de inotrópicos e vasopressores, tempo de ventilação mecânica e tempo de permanência na UTI e internação hospitalar. 2- Avaliar o efeito do número das unidades de hemácias transfundidas no intraoperatório na ocorrência de mortalidade hospitalar, choque cardiogênico, arritmia, isquemia miocárdica, choque séptico, acidente vascular cerebral e reintubação orotraqueal. 3- Avaliar o efeito da anemia à admissão e durante internação hospitalar na ocorrência de complicações pós-operatórias. INTERVENÇÃO: Não houve intervenção. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos 2851 pacientes na análise final, dos quais 1471(51,6%) foram expostos a transfusão de hemácias e 1380 (48,4%) não receberam transfusão no intraoperatório. Os pacientes transfundidos apresentaram maior incidência das seguintes complicações: mortalidade (2,1% vs 0,4%, P < 0,001), insuficiência renal aguda (9,1% vs 3,9%, P<0,001), reintubação orotraqueal (3,8% vs 1,4%, P < 0,001) e choque séptico (2,2% vs 0,4%, P < 0,001). Os pacientes transfundidos também apresentaram maior tempo de internação hospitalar [16 dias (12-23) vs 13 dias (9-18), P < 0,001] e em unidade de terapia intensiva [3 dias (2-6) vs 2 dias (2-4), P < 0,001]. A concentração da hemoglobina menor que 9 g/dL ocorreu em 1847 pacientes (64,7%) durante a internação hospitalar e foi associada a maior risco de insuficiência renal aguda e de acidente vascular cerebral. O escore de propensão identificou 588 pacientes pareados em relação à exposição à transfusão, e essa análise demonstrou que a transfusão intraoperatória de hemácias não aumentou a ocorrência de complicações no período de internação hospitalar. Contudo a transfusão de 4 ou mais unidades de hemácias está associada a maior ocorrência de mortalidade hospitalar, choque cardiogênico e IRA, maior incidência de reintubação orotraqueal, choque séptico e AVC. Além de uma relação direta entre as unidades de hemácias transfundidas e a ocorrência de morte. CONCLUSÃO: Esse estudo observacional demonstrou que a anemia é frequentemente detectada no pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca, e está associada a maior incidência de complicações. Além disso, a transfusão de hemácias no intraoperatório não modifica a ocorrência das complicações pós-operatórias em pacientes submetidos a cirurgia cardíaca. No entanto a transfusão de 4 ou mais hemácias está associada a maior incidência de complicações clínicas, além de uma relação dose-dependente. Estratégias como detecção precoce de anemia e emprego de técnicas alternativas à transfusão no manejo devem ser estimuladas no ambiente perioperatório / OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the transfusion of red blood cells in the intraoperative cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation is associated with complications after cardiac surgery. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study with a propensity score analysis, performed at Instituto do Coração (InCor) do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. PATIENTS: Adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in the period of January to 2008 December. PRIMARY OUTCOME: Clinical complications during hospital stay (cardiogenic shock, arrhythmia, cardiogenic shock, acute kidney injury, myocardial ischemia, septic shock, tracheal reintubation, stroke or hospital mortality). SECONDARY OUTCOME: 1- Evaluate the effect of intraoperative red blood cell transfusion in inotropic and vasopressor free time, mechanical ventilation time, length of ICU stay and hospital stay. 2- Evaluate the effect of the number of units of transfused red blood cells intraoperatively on the occurrence of hospital mortality, cardiogenic shock, arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia, septic shock, stroke and orotracheal reintubation. 3- Evaluate the effect of anemia on admission and during hospitalization in the occurrence of postoperative complications. RESULTS: In the final analysis, 2851 patients were included. Of these patients, 1471(51.6%) were exposed to red blood cell transfusion (RBC) and 1380 (48.4%) were not exposed to RBC during intraoperative. Transfused patients had higher incidence of the following complications: mortality (2.1% vs. 0.4%, P < 0.001), acute kidney injury (9.1% vs. 3.9%, P < 0,001), tracheal reintubation (3.8% vs. 1.4%, P < 0.001) and septic shock (2.2% vs. 0.4%, P < 0.001). Transfused patients also had a longer length of hospital stay [16 days (12-23) vs. 13 days (9-18), P<0.001] and prolonged intensive care unit stay [3 days (2-6) vs. 2 days (2-4), P < 0.001]. Hemoglobin lower than 9 g/dL was found in 1847 patients (64.7%) during hospital stay and was associated to a higher risk of acute kidney injury and stroke. The propensity score identified 588 paired patients in relation to transfusion exposure, and this analysis demonstrated that intraoperative transfusion of red blood cells did not increase the occurrence of complications during hospitalization. However, transfusion of 4 or more units of red blood cells is associated with a higher occurrence of hospital mortality, cardiogenic shock and acute renal failure, a higher incidence of orotracheal reintubation, septic shock and stroke. In addition to a direct relationship between the units of transfused red blood cells and the occurrence of death. CONCLUSIONS: This observational study demonstrated that anemia is frequently detected in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery, and is associated with a higher incidence of complications. In addition, red blood cell transfusion in the intraoperative does not modify the occurrence of postoperative complications in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, transfusion of 4 or more erythrocytes is associated with a higher incidence of clinical complications, in addition to a dose-dependent relationship. Strategies such as early detection of anemia and use of alternative techniques to transfusion in management should be stimulated in the perioperative environment

Introdução: O Brasil é o maior produtor mundial de cana-de-açúcar e de seus produtos, açúcar e etanol. A colheita predominantemente manual, expõe o trabalhador a uma série de riscos á saúde, como esforço físico, calor e poluentes, decorrentes da queima da palha da cana. Objetivos: Avaliar a ocorrência de efeitos cardiovasculares e respiratórios e possíveis mecanismos implicados nos mesmos, associados ao trabalho no corte de cana-de-açúcar queimada. Métodos: Vinte e oito cortadores de cana-de-açúcar, brancos, sexo masculino, hígidos, residentes em uma região do interior do Estado de São Paulo, foram submetidos à avaliação através de marcadores sanguíneos, monitoramento ambulatorial da pressão arterial, eletrocardiograma de 24 horas, prova de função pulmonar, tomografia de tórax de alta resolução, testes de caminhada de seis minutos, Incremental (Schuttle Test), e do exercício cardiopulmonar, medida direta da atividade nervosa simpática no nervo fibular, medida do fluxo sanguíneo muscular no antebraço, teste de transporte mucociliar e avaliação de efeitos genotóxicos (análise de micronúcleos na mucosa oral), durante o período de trabalho no corte de cana queimada (Safra) e quatro meses após, quando desempenhavam outras atividades. Foram realizadas medições de material particulado (PM2.5) e de variáveis climáticas. Os dados obtidos foram comparados através de testes estatísticos para medidas repetidas. Para avaliar o efeito do trabalho na safra e de outras variáveis, foram realizadas análises de regressão linear multivariada. Para o Teste de micronúcleo utilizou-se um grupo controle de 17 indivíduos da região, mesma faixa etária que nunca tinham trabalhado no corte de cana. Resultados: Os participantes do estudo tinham 31±6.3 anos e trabalhavam em média 9.8±8.4 anos no corte de cana-de-açúcar queimada. Durante a safra a concentração de material particulado foi mais elevada no canavial (84,69±23,90 vs 53,20±14,82, p<0.001) e o índice de sobrecarga térmica alcançou níveis elevados (28,40C). O trabalho durante a safra esteve associado a maiores níveis de Creatinina Fosfoquinase (mediana e intervalo interquartil), 136.5(108.5-216) vs 104.5 (77.5-170.5)U/L; p=0.001, Glutationa Peroxidase (55.1±11.8 vs 39.5±9.6Ug/Hb; p<0.001), Malonaldeido (0.08±0.01vs0.07±0.01m/ml; p=0.033), pressão sanguínea arterial sistólica de 24 horas (120.14±10.31 vs 117.00 ± 9.96 mmHg; p=0.047). A pressão diastólica aumentou durante o teste de exercício durante a safra (11.12mmHg; p<0,001). Na Tomografia de alta resolução do tórax houve um percentual elevado de micronódulos centrolobulares (70,90%) e espessamento da parede brônquica (51,61%). O tempo de transporte mucociliar foi maior na safra (23,4±14 vs 15,9±6,7, p=0,001). A contagem de micronúcleos entre os cortadores foi maior que no grupo controle, no período da safra (7,89±5,81 vs 4,24±4,51, p=0,010) e no período da entressafra (11,82±11,08 vs 4,24±4,51, p=0,017). A redução da variabilidade da freqüência cardíaca e aumento da atividade simpática estiveram significativamente associados a aumento da pressão arterial. Conclusão: O trabalho durante a safra se associou à alterações cardiovasculares (aumento da pressão arterial no repouso e no exercício), possivelmente mediada por estresse oxidativo e desbalanço autonômico, alterações respiratórias (alterações de imagens e transporte mucociliar) e aumento de micronúcleos. / Introduction: Brazil is the worlds largest producer of sugarcane and its products, sugar and ethanol. The predominantly manual harvest exposes workers to a series of health risks from sugarcane burning, such as physical exertion, heat and pollutants. Objectives: To evaluate the occurrence of cardiovascular and respiratory effects and possible mechanisms associated with them in burnt sugarcane harvesting work. Methods: Twenty-eight sugarcane harvesters, all Caucasian, healthy, male, residing in the countryside of São Paulo state, were evaluated through blood markers, twenty-four hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, twenty-four hours eletrocardiography Holter monitoring, pulmonary function testing, chest HRCT, six-minute walk tests, shuttle walk test, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, muscle sympathetic nerve activity in the peroneal nerve, muscle blood flow in the forearm, mucociliary transport test and evaluation of genotoxic effects (analysis of micronuclei in the oral mucosa) during burnt sugarcane harvest period and four months later, when the workers performed other activities. The study measured particle size (PM2.5) and climate variables. The obtained data were compared using statistical tests for repeated measurements. Multivariate linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the effect of work during the harvest period and of other variables. For the micronucleus test, a control group was used consisting of 17 local individuals, in the same age range, who had never worked in sugarcane harvesting. Results: Participants had a mean age of 31±6.3 years and had worked for an average of 9.8±8.4 years on the harvesting of burnt sugarcane. During the harvest period, the concentration of particulate matter was higher in the sugarcane field (84.69±23.90 vs. 53.20±14.82, p<0.001) and the thermal overload index reached high levels (28.40C). Work during the harvest period was significantly associated with high serum levels of Creatine Kinase (median and interquartile range), 136.5 (108.5-216) vs. 104.5 (77.5- 170.5) U/L; p=0.001, Glutathione Peroxidase (55.1±11.8 vs. 39.5±9.6 Ug/Hb; p<0.001), Malonaldehyde (0.08±0.01 vs. 0.07±0.01m/ml; p=0.033), and 24- hour systolic blood pressure (120.14 ± 10.31 vs. 117.00 ± 9.96 mmHg; p=0.047). Diastolic blood pressure increased during the cardiopulmonary test for the harvest period (11.12 mmHg; p=0.001). In chest HRCT we noted high prevalence of centrilobular micronodules (70.90%) and bronchial wall thickening (51.61%). Mucociliary transport time was greater during the harvest period (23.4±14 vs. 15.9±6.7, p=0.001). The micronucleus count among harvesters was higher than for the control group, during the harvest period (7.89±5.81 vs. 4.24±4.51, p=0.010) and in the non-harvest period (11.82±11.08 vs. 4.24±4.51, p=0.017). The reduction in heart rate variability and higher sympathetic activity were significantly associated with higher blood pressure. Conclusion: Work during the harvest season was associated with cardiovascular changes (higher blood pressure at rest and during exercise), which may possibly be linked to oxidative stress and autonomic imbalance, as well as respiratory changes (changes in imaging and mucociliary transport) and increased micronuclei.

Le coeur et les vaisseaux sanguins sont directement issus de l'endothélium et dépendent de sa fonction. Le coeur ne représente pas la seule force motrice de notre système circulatoire, la plupart des stratégies thérapeutiques actuelles des maladies cardiovasculaires sont encore focalisées sur le coeur, négligeant l'ensemble du système circulatoire et le système endothélial. Par exemple, le développement de Dispositifs d'Assistance Cardiaque (DAC) est influencé par le coeur, conçu pour suivre,obéir et doit être synchronisé avec un organe malade.De nombreux « signaux » de nature différente sont capables d’activer les cellules endothéliales : les forces de cisaillement créées par le flux sanguin parallèle à la surface de la paroi des vaisseaux, mais également les forces perpendiculaires provoquées par l’étirement de la paroi artérielle par les variations de la pression et la qualité cyclique de ces forces. L’activation de cellules endothéliales est due à la pulsatilité du flux mais aussi à l’action de substances vasoactives et des médiateurs de l’inflammation.Dans notre travail de thèse, nous proposons une nouvelle approche thérapeutique,basée sur une révision fondamentale de l'ensemble du système circulatoire: exposer les défauts de la gestion courante des maladies cardiovasculaires (MCV). Notre nouveau concept se concentre sur la dynamique des flux sanguins pour stimuler,restaurer et maintenir la fonction endothéliale, et compris le coeur lui-même. Nous avons développé et évalué une nouvelle génération de DAC pulsatiles, testée in vitro et in vivo.Pendant le déroulement de cette thèse nous avons effectué les études suivantes:1. Etude d’un prototype de cathéter pulsatile. Il est testé de manière isolée dans un modèle expérimental d’ischémie aiguë du myocarde et dans un modèle d’hypertension pulmonaire aiguë.2. Etude d’un prototype de tube pulsatile à double lumière. Il est testé in-vitro dans un circuit de circulation extracorporelle, et in vivo comme assistance ventriculaire gauche.73. Etude d’un prototype de combinaison pulsatile. Il est testé sur un modèle animal présentant une défaillance aiguë du ventricule droit. Des prototypes de masques et de pantalons pulsatiles sont en développement.En conclusion, notre approche est basée sur l’activation de la fonction endothéliale plutôt qu’en une assistance cardiaque directe. Ce concept permet une meilleure gestion thérapeutique des maladies circulatoires et cardio-pulmonaires. / The “Heart” is still considered as the main organ to be dealt with, in case ofcardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, the heart is not the only driving force in ourcirculatory system. In fact, the heart and blood vessels are the direct issues of theendothelium and depend on its function. Moreover, almost all current therapeuticstrategies are still focusing on the heart and neglecting the entire circulatoryendothelialsystem. For example, development of cardiac assist devices (CAD) is stillrestrained by the heart, designed to follow, obey and must be synchronized with adiseased organ.Many "signals" of different nature are capable of activating endothelial cells: the shearforces created by the blood flow parallel to the surface of the vessel wall, but alsoforces caused by stretching perpendicular to the artery wall by the cyclic pressuregradient and the quality of these forces. The activation of endothelial cells is due tothat pressurized flow dynamic forces, but also to the action of vasoactive substancesand inflammatory mediators.In this thesis we are proposing a new therapeutic approach, based on a fundamentalrevision of the entire systems: exposing those defects of current management ofcardiovascular diseases (CVD). A concept that focuses on flow dynamics to stimulate,restore and maintain endothelial function including the heart itself. This includespreliminary results of new generations of pulsatile CAD that promote endothelial shearstress (ESS) enhancement. Devices prototypes were tested.During this thesis, pulsatile devices prototypes were tested in vivo, in vitro as well aswith pre-clinical volunteers as follow:1. A pulsatile catheter prototype was tested in 2 pediatric animal models (piglets) of:acute myocardial ischemia; and acute pulmonary arterial hypertension.2. A pulstile tube prototype was tested in vitro (mock circuit) and in vivo (piglets) as aleft ventricular assist device (ongoing).3. Pulsatile suit prototypes were tested: in vivo (piglets) for acute right ventricularfailure treatment. Prototypes of pulsatile mask and trousers are currently in plannedfor pre-clinical studies.9Conclusion, Think endothelial instead of cardiac is our policy for better management ofCVD.

Contexte ─ L’incidence, les caractéristiques, et le pronostic (vital et fonctionnel) de la mort subite du sportif n’ont pas été étudiés en population générale. Méthodes ─ Etude observationnelle prospective menée par l’Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale en collaboration avec le Service d’Aide Médicale Urgente (SAMU) dans 60 départements français (2005–2010) incluant les sujets de 10 à 75 ans présentant une mort subite (récupérée ou non) au cours d’une activité sportive de loisir ou de compétition. La détection des cas a été assurée par deux sources indépendantes. L’information a été recueillie selon le modèle d’Utstein. Les incidences ont été calculées par million d’habitants et million de participants sportifs, en considérant les 20ème et 80ème percentiles des départements les plus participants. Des analyses complémentaires ont été menées chez les femmes et pour les sports les plus en cause. Compte tenu de disparités régionales importantes en termes de survie, la distribution des facteurs (individuels et communautaires) classiquement associés à la survie (à la sortie de l’hôpital) a été examinée dans 4 groupes de survie (<10%, 10–20, 20–40, et >40%). L’analyse des facteurs associés à la survie a été effectuée par régression logistique.Résultats ─ Au total, 820 cas ont été collectés, et l’incidence totale a été évaluée entre 5 et 17 cas par million d’habitants par an en France. Seulement 6% des cas sont survenus chez le jeune athlète de compétition. Après considération des taux de participation sportive, l’incidence chez l’homme a été estimée entre 11,2 (95% IC 10,4–12,1) et 33,8 (95% IC 30,9–36,8) cas par million de participants et par an, l’incidence chez la femme étant, en comparaison avec l’homme, extrêmement faible, en particulier chez les 40–54 ans avec un risque relatif de 0,03 (95% IC 0,01–0,07). L’incidence augmentait significativement avec l’âge chez l’homme (risque relatif 2,51, 95 % IC 2,10–3,01, quand âge >35 ans), et était plus importante dans certains sports (cyclisme vs. natation, p<0,0001). L’âge moyen des sujets était de 46±15 ans. Des antécédents cardiovasculaires étaient rapportés dans 12% des cas. Le taux de survie moyen à la sortie de l’hôpital était de 15,7% (95% IC 13,2–18,2), avec cependant des disparités départementales majeures (de 0 à 47%), alors que le pronostic neurologique restait favorable chez 80% des survivants. La description en 4 groupes de survie a démontré l’absence de différence significative en termes de caractéristiques des sujets, de circonstances de survenue, de délai de prise en charge, et de mortalité intra-hospitalière. A l’inverse, des différences majeures ont été observées concernant l’initiation du massage cardiaque par le témoin (15% à 81%, p<0,001), le rythme initialement choquable (29% à 79%, p<0,001), le niveau de formation de la population aux premiers secours (p<0,001) et la densité de défibrillateurs extra-hospitaliers dans le département (p<0,001). Le défibrillateur n’a que rarement été utilisé par les témoins avant l’arrivée des premiers secours (<1%). Au final, les facteurs individuels suivants étaient indépendamment associés à la survie à la sortie de l’hôpital : massage cardiaque par témoin (OR 3,73, 95% IC 2,19–6,39, p<0,0001), délai d’intervention (OR 1,32, 95% IC 1,08–1,61, p=0,006), présence d’un rythme choquable initial (OR 3,71, 95% IC 2,07–6,64, p<0,0001). Après ajustement sur les facteurs pronostiques individuels, seul le niveau de formation de la population aux premiers secours restait associé de façon significative à la survie (OR 1,64, 95% IC 1,17–2,31, p=0,004).Conclusions et perspectives ─ La mort subite est un problème de santé publique faisant intervenir les pompiers, le SAMU, les réanimateurs, les cardiologues, les épidémiologistes. Sa prise en charge est nécessairement multidisciplinaire et les progrès viendront d’une action concertée de santé publique. Concernant la mort subite du sportif, nos conclusions sont que (...) / Background – Although such data are available for young competitive athletes, the prevalence, characteristics and outcome of sports-related sudden cardiac death have not previously been assessed in the general population.Methods – A prospective and comprehensive national survey was carried out throughout France by the French Institute of Health and Medical Research from 2005 to 2010, involving subjects aged 10–75 years. Case detection for sports-related sudden cardiac death, during competitive or leisure activities, including resuscitated cardiac arrest, was undertaken via emergency medical services (Service d’Aide Médicale Urgente, SAMU) reporting and web-based screening of media releases. Data were collected according to Utstein’s style. Incidence calculations were reported by million of inhabitants as well as million of sports participants. Specific analyses were also carried out among women and specific sports. After having documented major regional survival disparities, we identified to which extent conventional evidence-based individual factors, known to be associated to survival, were distributed among different groups of survival. Moreover, we assessed if functional outcome was variable among groups of survival. Factors associated with survival were analyzed using regression logistic model.Results – The overall burden of sports-related sudden cardiac death was estimated between 5 and 17 cases per million inhabitants per year. Only 6% of cases occurred among young competitive athletes, with a specific incidence calculated to 9.8 (95% CI 3.7–16.0) per million per year. After considering participation rates, incidence in men sport participants was estimated from 11.2 (95% CI 10.4–12.1) to 33.8 (95% CI 30.9–36.8) per million of participants per year, dramatically higher than women-related incidence, particularly in the 45–54 year range (relative risk 0.03, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.07). By contrast with women, the incidence of sports-related sudden cardiac death in men significantly increased over age categories (p<0.0001), and incidence rates were substantially higher in men aged >35 years than men aged 35 years or less (RR 2.51, 95% CI 2.10–3.01). The mean survival rate at hospital discharge was 15.7% (95% CI 13.2–18.2), with major regional disparities among districts (from 0 to 47%), with however a highly similar favorable neurological outcome (80%). No difference was observed regarding subjects’ characteristics and circumstances of occurrence (including presence of witnesses, delays of intervention and public use of automatic external defibrillators) across survival groups. By contrast, major differences were noted regarding bystander initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (15% to 81%, p<0.001) and presence of initial shockable rhythm (29% to 79%, p<0.001). Public use of automatic external defibrillator was dramatically low (<1%). Independent factors for survival included bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (OR 3.73, 95% CI 2.19–6.39, p<0.0001), initial shockable rhythm (OR 3.71, 95% CI 2.07–6.64, p<0.0001) and short delay between cardiac arrest and resuscitation (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.08–1.61, p=0.006). After adjustment on individual factors, only population education to Basic Life Support was significantly associated with survival (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.17–2.31, p=0.004).Conclusions and perspectives – Sudden cardiac death is a public health issue, with the need for a multidisciplinary approach involving Emergency Cares, Cardiology, and Epidemiology. Regarding sports-related sudden death, our conclusions are the following (...)
