No. of bitstreams: 1 anacristinaabraaosantesso.pdf: 1563566 bytes, checksum: a05fdb719abfbaaf5fb1d09d6324f771 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-07-16 / Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, do tipo descritivo, comparativo, baseado no referencial da hermenêutica dialética, cujo objetivo foi analisar as repercussões imediatas da ação educativa do enfermeiro, através da sala de espera na hemodinâmica, junto aos pacientes e acompanhantes antes de um procedimento de intervenção cardiovascular. A educação é um instrumento que contribui para a formação das pessoas e do mundo. A educação em saúde é entendida como uma prática que trabalha junto ao indivíduo estratégias de mudança em seu benefício, para seu próprio bem-estar, desenvolvendo um pensamento reflexivo e posteriormente crítico sobre os próprios atos e cultura, possibilitando melhoras no estado de saúde. O cateterismo cardíaco é um exame de diagnóstico por imagem, amplamente utilizado na investigação das coronariopatias e valvulopatias cardíacas estudadas no setor de hemodinâmica. A enfermagem que atua neste serviço tem grande importância no que tange às orientações em saúde com vistas ao bem-estar dos pacientes acometidos por doenças cardiovasculares e que são encaminhados para diagnóstico ou tratamento. Realizou-se entrevista semiestruturada com cinco pacientes e cinco acompanhantes antes da e após a ação educativa de enfermagem. Os dados encontrados foram submetidos à análise proposta por Minayo composta pelas etapas de ordenação, classificação e análise final. Os resultados possibilitaram a construção das seguintes categorias: desvendando o desconhecido; em busca de um protagonista; orientações de enfermagem como forma de esclarecimento e alívio da ansiedade. Através destas, identificamos a existência de lacunas nas informações sobre o procedimento; ausência de um mediador do conhecimento técnico-científico que auxilie na construção de saberes e troca de experiências; um cenário onde pacientes e acompanhantes se sentem ansiosos e temerosos pela espera por algo que não conhecem, mas também demonstraram a importância das orientações de enfermagem para melhora da ansiedade e busca de outros saberes. A prática educativa implementada demonstrou ser de grande relevância para atuação do enfermeiro no serviço de hemodinâmica, corroborando para melhor compreensão do exame, maior qualidade de informação e controle do nível de ansiedade. / It is a study of qualitative approach, descriptive, comparative, based on the dialectic hermeneutics reference whose aim was to analyze the immediate repercussions of educational action of the nurses, through the waiting room in hemodynamics, with patients and companions before of an interventional cardiovascular procedure. Education is a tool that contributes to the formation of people and of the world. Health education is understood as an educational practice that works with the individual to critical and liberating vision of living conditions, aiming to change strategies for their benefit, for your own well-being, developing a critical reflective thinking and later on the own actions, culture, enabling improvements in health status. Cardiac catheterization is a test of diagnostic imaging, high resolution, widely used in the investigation of coronary artery disease and cardiac valve disorders studied in the hemodynamic sector. The nursing acting in this service is of great importance when it comes to health orientation with a view to the welfare of patients suffering from cardiovascular disease and who are referred for diagnosis or treatment. Was held semi-structured interview with five patients and five companions before and after the nursing education action. Data were subjected to analysis proposed by Minayo comprised by ordination of data, data classification and final analysis. The results allowed the construction of the following categories: uncovering the unknown; looking for a protagonist; nursing's orientation as a way to enlightenment and relief from anxiety. Through these, we identified the gaps in information about the procedure; absence of a mediator of technical and scientific knowledge to assist in the construction of knowledge and exchange of experiences; a scenario where patients and companions feel anxious and fearful waiting for they do not know, but also the importance of nursing guidelines for improvement in anxiety and search for other knowledge. The implemented educational practice proved to be of great relevance for nursing work in the hemodynamics service corroborating to better understanding the exam, better information and relief of the level of anxiety.

A 3D-ultrasound guidance device for central venous catheter placement using augmented reality / En 3D-ultraljud guidningsanordning för central venös kateter placering med användning av förstärkt verklighet

Jansson, Magnus January 2017 (has links)
Central venous catheterization (CVC) is performed frequently in clinical practices in Operation Rooms(OR) and Emergency Rooms(ER). CVC is performed for different reasons such as supply nutrition or medicine. For CVC ultrasound (US), diagnostic device is preferable among other medical imaging technologies. Central Venous Catheterization (CVC) under the 2D US guidance requires skills for catheter placement to avoid damaging non-targeted blood vessels. Therefore, there is a great need for improvements in the CVC field where mechanical complication has a risk of occurring during the procedure, for example misplacement of the needle. This master thesis project was performed at Kyushu University department of mechanical engineering and collaboration with Maidashi Kyushu University Hospital department of Advanced Medicine and Innovative Technology in Japan. This thesis is aimed to develop a new simple and cheap guidance system for CVC placement. The system performed on a Tablet PC and will be using already existing Ultrasound machines in Hospitals and Augmented Reality(AR). The project developed a simple AR-System for CVC placement with use of the ArUco library. The new developed system takes information from Ultrasound images and constructs a 3D-model of a vein and artery. Then the 3D-model is augmented on the patient through the tablet PC by using the ArUco library. The construction and augmentation is all performed on the tablet PC and has a small computation to complete the necessary procedures for the 3D-blood vessels. The AR-system has a simple control where the interface of the system is a simple push and action system. When a good visualization of the blood vessels and Doppler effect is shown on the ultrasound machine, the surgeon presses the screen and the image is saved. After about five images are acquired, the system builds the 3D-model and augments it on the patient using a marker. For the development of this system it implemented the waterfall method where each step was tested and checked, before moving to the next step. A full functional system was developed and tested. From the tests performed it is shown that there were limitations due to segmentation and depth perception. But the system has possibilities as an aid for CVC placement.

Vardenafil and methylarginines in pulmonary hypertension

Sandqvist, Anna January 2016 (has links)
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare condition characterized by endothelial dysfunction and vascular remodelling, leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and right ventricular heart failure. Endothelial dysfunction is associated with an imbalance between vasoconstrictor compounds, such as endothelin and thromboxane A2, and vasodilator compounds, such as prostacyclin and nitric oxide (NO). Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), a methyl derivate of L-arginine, inhibits synthesis of NO. Vardenafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE5-inhibitors), causes vasodilation through the NO/cGMP pathway. Aim: This thesis investigates the pharmacological effects and diagnostic utility of vardenafil in PH patients. In addition, to evaluate the change of L-arginine and dimethylarginines before and during PAHspecific therapy in PAH patients compared to patients with left ventricular heart failure (LVHF) and healthy subjects. Methods: The pharmacokinetics and hemodynamic effects of vardenafil were examined during right heart catheterization (RHC) in 16 PH patients and plasma concentrations were measured for up to nine hours after oral administration. In 20 PH patients, acute vasoreactivity test with vardenafil was performed during RHC. Hemodynamic responses were recorded, responders were defined and followed for up to seven years. Additionally, plasma ADMA, symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), L-arginine, L-citrulline and L-ornithine levels before and after PAH drug treatment were monitored in 21 PAH patients and compared to values measured in 14 LVHF patients and 27 healthy subjects. Results: Vardenafil concentrations increased rapidly to maximum plasma concentration (tmax 1h) and elimination half-life was 3.4 h. Patients co-medicated with bosentan had reduced vardenafil concentration. Significant acute hemodynamic responses were observed for mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) (p<0.001), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) (p<0.001), cardiac output (CO) (p=0.015), cardiac index (CI) (p=0.010), systemic vascular resistance (SVR) (p<0.001) and PVR/SVR (p=0.002) and were related to plasma vardenafil concentrations. PAH patients had significantly higher ADMA and SDMA levels and significantly lower L-arginine levels and L-arginine/ADMA ratio compared with healthy subjects (p<0.001). L-arginine was also lower in PAH patients compared to patients with LVHF (p<0.05). WHO functional class and six minutes walking distance (6MWD) correlated to Larginine and L-arginine/ADMA ratio in PAH at baseline (p<0.05). At follow-up, patients on mono- or combinationtherapy with endothelin receptor antagonists (ERA) had lower ADMA levels than patients without ERA (p<0.05). In contrast, patients on PDE5-inhibitors had higher ADMA levels compared to patients without PDE5-inhibitors (p<0.05). Conclusion: Vardenafil is safe in acute vasoreactivity test in PH patients. Cardiopulmonary hemodynamic response was related to plasma drug concentrations. There was a high inter-individual variability of vardenafil pharmacokinetics and co-medication with bosentan caused a pharmacokinetic drug interaction. Baseline L-arginine and dimethylarginines levels were different in PAH patients compared to LVHF patients and healthy controls. PAH-specific treatment influenced L-arginine and dimethylarginines. Our data suggest that L-arginine might be useful for differentiating PAH from LVHF, and L-arginine/ADMA ratios were related to the severity of PAH and might be useful for follow-up evaluations of PAH patients.

Tempo de permanência do cateter venoso periférico e o crescimento bacteriano em curativos e dânulas: subsídios para prevenção de eventos adversos / Residence time of the peripheral venous catheter and the bacterial growth in catheter and connector: subsidies for prevention of adverse events

Rossini, Fernanda de Paula 20 December 2014 (has links)
A manutenção do cateter venoso periférico (CVP) é um tema complexo que exige o cumprimento de uma série de conformidades na prevenção e controle dos eventos adversos, como a flebite. Neste estudo avaliou-se a microbiota e o perfil de sensibilidade aos antibióticos das bactérias isoladas em curativos e dânulas utilizados na manutenção do CVP. Assim, relacionou-se o tempo de permanência do acesso e a presença ou não de sujidade com o crescimento bacteriano em meios de culturas seletivos e a ocorrência de cepas multidroga resistentes (MDR). Trata-se de um estudo observacional de prevalência realizado com pacientes adultos hospitalizados em terapia intravenosa periférica. Nesse sentido, a coleta envolveu 30 dânulas (30 amostras do seu lúmen e 30 da sua superfície externa) e 30 curativos totalizando-se 90 análises microbiológicas. No processamento microbiológico do curativo utilizou-se suabe friccionado em área previamente demarcada e para o lúmen realizou-se flush nas duas vias da dânula. Todas as amostras foram semeadas em meio TSB (Tryptic Soy Broth) e a incubação procedeu-se a 37°C por 24hs até 14 dias. Os meios de cultura seletivos utilizados foram Manitol Salgado, MacConkey e Cetrimide. Na Identificação das cepas e do antibiograma utilizou-se o procedimento automatizado VITEK®. Os testes: exato de Fischer, não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney e Qui-Quadrado de Pearson subsidiaram a análise estatística com nível de significância de 5% (? = 0,05). O estudo teve aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Diante da variabilidade dos resultados é importante destacar que 100% das superfícies externas das dânulas, 40% dos lúmens e 86,7% dos curativos apresentaram crescimento bacteriano. E, com relação às espécies isoladas no lúmen destacam-se: 50% Staphylococcus coagulase-negativo, 14,3% Staphylococcus aureus, 14,3% Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 7,1% Klebsiella pneumoniae e 7,1% Proteus mirabilis. Em relação ao perfil de sensibilidade identificaram-se bactérias MDR em 59% das superfícies externas das dânulas, 44% nos curativos e 42% nos lúmens, com predomínio de Staphylococcus coagulase-negativo resistente ao antibiótico oxacilina. Bactérias Gram-negativas com resistência a carbapenêmicos foram isoladas nas superfícies externas das dânulas, sendo 9% Klebsiella pneumoniae, 4,5% Pseudomonas aeruginosa e 4,5% Acinetobacter baumannii. Evidenciou-se associação entre o crescimento bacteriano em meio TSB e a presença de sujidade (p=0,014). A comparação entre a média dos dias de CVP e o crescimento bacteriano no meio MacConkey apresentou diferença significativa (p=0,018). No geral, os resultados preocupam considerando, principalmente, o crescimento bacteriano no lúmen das dânulas. Outras investigações são promissoras para que se possa de fato ampliar as evidências acerca das condições microbiológicas na manutenção desse acesso venoso, estabelecer relações com as variáveis clínicas e, assim subsidiar os protocolos de assistência na prevenção e controle dos riscos de infecção. / The maintenance of the peripheral venous catheter it´s a complex theme that requires the accomplishment of some compliances at the control and prevention of adverse events, such as phlebitis. This study evaluated the microbiota and the sensitivity test to antibiotics at bacteria isolated from dressing and connector used on the maintenance of the peripheral venous catheter. Therefore, it was related the residence time of the access and the presence or absence of dirtiness with the bacterial growth on selective culture media and the occurrence of multidrug resistance strains. It´s about an observational study realized with adults patients hospitalized in use of peripheral intravenous therapy. The collect involved 30 connector (30 samples of the lumen and 30 samples of the external surface) and 30 dressing in a total of 90 microbiological analyzes. At the microbiological processing of the dressings it was rubbed swabs at a previous demarcated area and for the lumen it was used a flush at the two parts of the connector. All the samples were seeded on Tryptic Broth Soy (TBS) and the incubation was carried out at 37ºC for 24 hours on 14 days. The selective culture media used were Mannitol, MacConkey and Cetrimide. For the strain identification and the antibiogram it was used the automatic procedure VITEK®. The tests: Fisher exact test, nonparametric Mann-Whitney and Chi-square test subsidized the statistics analysis with a level of significance at 5% (? = 0,05). The study was approved at the Ethics Committee in Research. In front of the variability of the results it´s important to detach that 100% of the external surface of the connector, 40% of the lumen and 86,7% of the dressing showed bacterial growth. From the species isolated on the lumen stands out 50% of coagulase negative Staphylococcus, 50% Staphylococcus aureus, 14,3% Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 7,1% Proteus mirabilis. Acording to the sensitivity test to antibiotics it was identified multidrug resistance bacteria on 59% of the external surface of the connector, 44% of the dressing and 42% of the lumen, with a predominance of coagulase negative Staphylococcus resistant to oxacillin. Gram negative bacteria with resistance to carbapenem were isolated on the external surface of the connector, these are 9% Klebsiella pneumoniae, 4,5% Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 4,5% Acinetobacter baumannii. It was evidenced an association between bacterial growth on TSB culture media and the presence of dirtiness (p=0,014). The proportion between the medium days of peripheral venous catheterization and the bacterial growth on MacConkey media culture showed significant difference (p=0,018). In general, the results concern mostly because of the bacterial growth on the connector lumen. Others investigations are promissory to the amplification of evidence on microbiological conditions on the maintenance of the venous catheterization, establish relations with clinic variables and subsidize the assistance protocols on the control and prevention of infections risks.

Qualidade de vida de pacientes com disfunções vesicoesfincterianas em programa de cateterismo vesical intermitente limpo / Quality of life in patients with bladder dysfunction in clean intermittent catheterization

Pereira, Sheila Gonzalez Rodrigues 05 November 2010 (has links)
O cateterismo vesical intermitente limpo é uma técnica terapêutica que vem sendo amplamente utilizada na prática urológica nos últimos trinta anos em pacientes com disfunção vesicoesfincteriana. Mesmo apresentando diversos benefícios, como: continência funcional, melhora da imagem corporal, diminuição do número de infecções do trato urinário, redução das complicações renais a longo prazo, promoção de um impacto positivo na qualidade de vida, é um procedimento que acarreta mudanças na vida dos pacientes e familiares e/ou cuidadores, podendo alterar sua qualidade de vida. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os fatores que interferem na qualidade de vida dos pacientes com disfunção vesicoesfincteriana em programa de cateterismo vesical intermitente limpo. Sessenta e seis pacientes foram incluídos no estudo e responderam um formulário com dados sociodemográficos e clínicos, o questionário de avaliação de qualidade de vida WHOQOL-bref e o Inventário de Depressão de Beck. Não há relação entre tempo de cateterismo e gênero, faixa etária, anos de estudo, situação conjugal, renda familiar, etiologia da disfunção vesicoesfincteriana, comorbidades, locomoção, agente que executa o procedimento e continência nos intervalos do procedimento. Baixa escolaridade reflete negativamente na percepção de qualidade de vida (p=0,040). A qualidade de vida afeta negativamente o domínio psicológico tanto quando há coexistência de comorbidades (p=0,011) como na doença adquirida (p=0,020). Pacientes vítimas de trauma e doença adquirida têm o domínio relações sociais prejudicado (p=0,032), e pacientes com doença congênita apresentam melhores escores neste domínio. Pacientes cadeirantes apresentam transtornos no domínio físico em sua qualidade de vida (p=0,001). A dependência na realização do procedimento afeta negativamente a qualidade de vida nos domínios físico (p<0,001), psicológico (p=0,022) e na percepção de qualidade de vida (p=0,042). Infecções urinárias sintomáticas acarretam transtornos no domínio meio ambiente (p=0,029). 71,9% dos pacientes que reutilizam o cateter após o uso não relataram infecções urinárias sintomáticas múltiplas (p=0,006). Sintomas depressivos não estão associados a gênero, anos de estudo, renda familiar, etiologia da disfunção vesicoesfincteriana, tempo no programa de cateterismo, locomoção, agente que executa o procedimento, continência nos intervalos do cateterismo e frequência. Adultos de 41 a 60 anos apresentam mais sintomas depressivos do que idosos (p=0,038), assim como aqueles que vivem com companheiro(a) (p=0,014) e os que apresentam comorbidades (p=0,006). Pacientes com sintomas depressivos apresentam todos os domínios de qualidade de vida piores do que aqueles sem sintomas depressivos, principalmente no domínio psicológico (p<0,001), relações sociais (p=0,001) e na percepção de qualidade de vida (p=0,001). Na análise multivariada, encontrou-se que a presença de sintomas depressivos, a necessidade de um cuidador para a realização do cateterismo vesical intermitente limpo, o fato de ser incontinente e cadeirante, estar há mais tempo no programa e ter uma baixa renda familiar, são preditores de uma pior qualidade de vida. Entendemos que a avaliação das condições sociais e clínicas, além da presença de sintomas depressivos é importante e necessário para se assegurar uma adequada adesão ao tratamento e acompanhamento dos pacientes em programa de cateterismo vesical intermitente limpo / Clean intermittent catheterization is a therapeutic technique that has been widely used in urological practice in the past thirty years in patients with bladder dysfunction. Despite presenting a number of benefits as: functional continence, improved corporal image, decreased level of urinary tract infections, reduction of renal complications in the long term, promotion of a positive tracks impact on quality of life, it is a procedure that entails changes in the lives of patients, family members and/or caretakers and it may impair his/her quality of life. The objective of this study was to identify factors that affect quality of life of patients with bladder dysfunction on program of clean intermittent catheterization. Sixty-six patients included in this study fulfilled a social-demographic and clinical form, and they answered questionnaires on quality of life WHOQOL-bref and Beck Depression Inventory. There is no relationship among time of catheterization, gender, age range, years of study, marital status, income family, etiology of bladder dysfunction, clinical illness, and locomotion, agent that performs the procedure and the intervals of continence procedure. Low education reflects negatively on the perception of quality of life (p=0.040). The quality of life negatively affects both the psychological domain well when there is clinical illness coexistence (p=0.011) as the disease acquired (p=0.020). Patients suffering from trauma and disease acquired have the social relationship domain harmed (p=0.032), and patients with congenital disease present the best scores in this domain. Wheelchair patients have disorders in the physical domain in their quality of life (p=0.001). The accomplishments dependence on the procedure negatively affects his/her quality of life in physical (p<0.001) and psychological domains (p=0.022) and perception of quality of life (p=0.042). Symptomatic urinary infections lead to disorders in environment domain (p=0.029). 71.9% of patients after using the catheter did not present a multiple symptomatic urinary infection (p=0.006). Depressive symptoms are not associated to gender, years of study, income family, etiology of bladder dysfunction, time in program of clean intermittent catheterization, locomotion, agent that performs the procedure, continence in intervals of the catheterization and frequency. Adults 41 to 60 years have more depressives symptoms than elders (p=0.038), just as those living with a partner (p=0.014) and those with clinical illness (p=0.006). Patients with depressive symptoms have all domains of quality of life worse than those who do not have depressive symptoms, mainly in the psychological domain (p<0.001), social relationships (p=0.001) and perception of quality of life (p=0.001). The multivariate analysis the presence of depressive symptoms, a caretaker\'s need for the accomplishment of the clean intermittent catheterization, the fact of being incontinent and wheelchair patients, to be there is more time in the program and to have a low family income, they are predictors of a worse life quality. It is believable that the evaluation of social and clinical conditions, besides the presence of depressive symptoms, is important and necessary to assure an appropriate adhesion to the treatment and patients\' attendance in program of clean intermittent catheterization
