Introdução e Objetivos: O cuidado de Enfermagem à pessoa póstransplante cardíaco é um tema pouco investigado no Brasil. Este estudo teve como objetivos: Identificar os cuidados de Enfermagem prestados ao paciente transplantado cardíaco mediato em unidade de terapia intensiva e na unidade de internação de um hospital especializado em cardiologia; apreender os cuidados que o paciente transplantado cardíaco espera receber do enfermeiro em unidade de terapia intensiva e na unidade de internação, na perspectiva do enfermeiro e na perspectiva do paciente. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa. Foram entrevistados nove enfermeiros e três pacientes que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão, utilizando-se um questionário semiestruturado, cujos dados foram analisados por meio da análise temática, conforme Minayo. O projeto de pesquisa foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Escola de Enfermagem da USP e autorizada a coleta de dados pelo Instituto do Coração do HCFMUSP, local onde foi realizada a pesquisa. Resultados: A relação dos enfermeiros e dos pacientes está mediada pelo cuidado, que se expressa por um cuidado realizado que é o cuidado prestado e um cuidado desejado ou um cuidado esperado, que evidenciam as expectativas tanto dos enfermeiros quanto dos sujeitos entrevistados. Da análise temática das entrevistas emergiram três dimensões de cuidados: biológica, emocional e psicossocial. A dimensão biológica é apreendida pelos enfermeiros e pelos pacientes na mesma perspectiva e se refere aos cuidados relativos à administração de medicamentos, à alimentação, aos curativos, à detecção de sinais de rejeição, aos drenos e cateter, à higiene, à prevenção de infecção e à realização de biópsia. A dimensão emocional, na perspectiva dos enfermeiros, está relacionada à revolta com a doença e ao longo tempo de internação, enquanto na dos pacientes se refere ao apoio, à atenção e ao vínculo afetivo. Na dimensão psicossocial os enfermeiros abordam o acolhimento da família e a orientação para o cuidado e os pacientes a orientação para o cuidado. Considerações finais: Os enfermeiros citam e realizam predominantemente cuidados na dimensão biológica e é assim que os pacientes os apreendem e os reproduzem. As outras dimensões do cuidado foram pouco mencionadas, o que sugere a necessidade de ressignificar o cuidado ao transplantado cardíaco de modo a que as condições objetivas de trabalho e as crenças sejam analisadas e investigadas visando à ampliação e à efetivação do cuidado que se deseja ser multidimensional. / Introduction and Objectives: The nursing care to an individual after cardiac transplantation is poorly investigated in Brazil. This study aimed to: Identify the nursing care provided to mediate postoperative cardiac transplant patient in the intensive care unit and inpatient unit of a hospital specialized in cardiology; apprehend the nursing care that heart transplant patient hopes to receive from the nurse in the intensive care unit and inpatient unit, from the perspective of the nurse and the patient. Methods: This was a qualitative research. Was interviewed nine nurses and three patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, using a semi-structured questionnaire whose data were analyzed using thematic analysis according to Minayo. The research project was approved by the EEUSP Ethics Commission and the collection of data were authorized by HCFMUSP, where the research was conducted. Results: The ratio of nurses and patients is mediated by nursing care, which is expressed by a realized care that is the provided care and a desired nursing care or expected care, which showed both the expectations of nurses as the interviewed subjects. The thematic analysis of the interviews revealed three dimensions of care: biological, psychosocial and emotional. The biological dimension is apprehended by nurses and patients in the same perspective and refers to the care of the administration of medicines, to food, to bandages, to detection the signs of rejection, to the drains and catheters, to hygiene, to the prevention of infections and to the biopsy. The emotional dimension, from the perspective of nurses, is related to the anger with illness and hospitalization time, while the patients perspective referred to the support, attention and affective link. In psychosocial dimension the nurses approach the hosting of family and the orientation related to the care and the patients referred the orientation related to the care. Final considerations: The nurses cite and realize predominantly biological dimension care and that is how the patients reproduce them. Other dimensions of care were just little mentioned, which suggests the need to resignify the transplanted heart care so that the objective conditions of work and beliefs are examined and investigated aiming to increase and to effective the care that is wanted to be multidimensional.

The nursing practice of monitoring patients in the post-operative (PO) phase upon returning to the general ward setting has traditionally consisted of the systematic collection of vital signs and observation of other aspects of the patient's recovery. For the most part the primary focus of this monitoring has been the detection of post-operative complications. There is a need for more substantive evidence to support an appropriate frequency of post-operative observation. The aim of this research was to identify if the current practice of PO vital sign collection detects PO complications in the first 24 hours after the patient has returned to the general ward setting. Due to the complex world in which nurses practice the research was undertaken using a combination of methods within a triangulated approach to collect data. A survey of 75 hospitals providing a surgical service enabled a description of the current models of PO monitoring as found in policy documents to be made. The majority of hospitals (91%) described a variety of regulated regimens for the collection of PO observations, with the most common for vital sign collection (27%) as hourly for the first four hours and then four hourly. An observation of 282 patient hours in two surgical wards identified the current practice of PO monitoring involved nurses collecting vital signs hourly for the first four hours, three hourly for the next eight hours and then every four hours. This was despite the existence of different models being described in the policies. The records of 144 patients were audited to identify what, if any, nursing interventions detected changes in a patient's recovery and to determine whether a relationship existed between vital sign collection and the detection of complications. It was found that the complications that occurred were minor in nature, occurred infrequently, and did not have a relationship with changes in vital signs. This research found that there was no relationship between the frequency of the collection of vital signs and the occurrence or detection of complications. PO observations were collected by nurses based on traditional patterns, were collected routinely, were ritualised and were not determined by individual clinician expertise or the needs of the individual patient. Recommendations are made regarding the need for a systematic program of research and alternative models of patient observation that focus on patient need rather than organisational need and that provide more efficient and effective practice in monitoring PO patient progress. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--School of Medicine, 2003.

Proximal humeral fractures requiring surgical stabilization remain a therapeutic challenge, and a fully functioning joint is rarely the outcome after traumatic proximal humeral fractures. A systematic review was conducted to present the current state of knowledge concerning the postoperative rehabilitation. Tree databases was searched (PubMed, PEDro and the Cochrane library), presenting 25 publications eligible for further review and assessment. The literature was evaluated using PEDro and The Swedish Council on Health Technology, SBUs, evaluation grading system GRADE. The main functional impairments were pain and reduced range of motion in the shoulder joint, and were measured by several different scoring systems for functional outcome. Reported results were contradictory and inconsistent, and current studies typically lack randomization, and independent evaluation, with a resultant inability to produce clinical conclusions. According the post-operative rehabilitation procedure, only careful conclusions can be drawn from the literature reviewed which does not focus on, emphasize or explore the physiotherapeutic interventions at any length. It was therefore not possible to compare or connect the Axelina rehabilitation regimen with the literature. The Axelina rehabilitation program of the shoulder joint, are the most commonly used regimen at the physiotherapeutic ward at Uppsala University hospital. Neither was it possible to determine if the post-operative treatment should be different according to classification of fracture or method of stabilization. The results from this systematic review suggest that the data from the published literature are inadequate for evidence-based decision making as regards the treatment and post-operative rehabilitation for complex proximal humeral fractures.

Bakgrund: Smärtan är subjektiv och det innebär att det är en individuell upplevelse. Den kan upplevas olika beroende på vilka tidigare erfarenheter patienterna har. Ingen annan än patienterna själva kan beskriva den upplevda smärtan. Det är viktigt att patienternas upplevelse av smärta uppmärksammas för att sjuksköterskor ska kunna bemöta deras behov på bästa sätt och därmed minska lidande. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa patienternas upplevelser av postoperativ smärta. Metod: Studien är en litteraturöversikt som är baserad på både kvalitativa och kvantitativa artiklar. Resultat: Resultatet redovisas i fyra olika teman: Att lida av smärta, Betydelse av information och rädsla för läkemedelsberoende, Att vara osäker och inte vilja vara till besvär, Osäkerhet inför framtiden. Smärta är en individuell upplevelse och den postoperativa smärtan kan innebära ett lidande för patienten. De upplever inte alltid att sjuksköterskorna respekterar deras uttryck för smärta och känner sig bortglömda då de saknar att få ta del av information kring framtiden. Slutsats: Det är viktigt för patienterna att få vara involverade i sin vård, smärtlindring och att få tydlig information om vad som berör den postoperativa vården. De behöver stöttning av anhöriga men framförallt av sjuksköterskorna för att kunna lindra både psykiskt och fysiskt lidande. / Background: Pain is subjective and it means that it is an individual experience. It may feel different depending on the previous experience of the patient. No one other than the patient himself can describe the perceived pain. It is important that patients' experience of pain observed for nurses to be able to respond to their needs in the best way and thus reduce suffering. Purpose: The aim is to highlight patients' experience of postoperative pain. Method: The study is a literature review which is based on both qualitative and quantitative articles. Results: The results are reported in four different themes: To suffer from pain, Importance of information and fear of drug dependence, being worried and do not want to be a bother, to feel insecure in front of the future. Pain is an individual experience and postoperative pain may cause suffering for the patient. They do not always experience that nurses respect their expressions of pain and therefore feel forgotten because of their lack of access to information about the future. Conclusion: It is important for patients to be involved in their care, to receive pain relief and to get clear information about what affects the postoperative care. They need support from relatives but especially from all the nurses to decrease both mental and physical suffering.

O homem, ao se defrontar com a cirurgia e a anestesia, tem alterações hormonais provocadas pela ansiedade, moduladas pela avaliação cognitiva deste enfrentamento e acompanhadas de alterações fisiológicas perceptíveis. Os objetivos do presente estudo foram verificar a correlação entre o traço e o estado de ansiedade no período pré-operatóro, e a influência da ansiedade, na resposta do paciente, no período pós-operatório imediato, em sala de recuperação anestésica. A amostra foi composta por 33 pacientes cirúrgicos. Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados, além dos inventários auto-aplicáveis de traço-estado de ansiedade do paciente no período pré-operatório imediato, dois (2) formulários contendo parâmetros de avaliação clínica dos pacientes. Os dados foram coletados nos períodos pré-operatório imediato e pós-operatório imediato. Os resultados mostraram uma correlação estatisticamente significante e positiva entre o traço e o estado de ansiedade, no período pré-operatório ou seja, os pacientes ao enfrentar o ato anestésico cirúrgico, têm seu estado de ansiedade alterado, quando correlacionado ao seu traço de ansiedade e uma correlação não significante entre o estado de ansiedade, no pré-operatório imediato com os parâmetros clínicos avaliados no período pós-operatório imediato,isto é, os pacientes em SRA não apresentaram alterações decorrentes do estado de ansiedade, no período pós-operatório imediato / The man when confronting with the surgery and the anesthesia, has hormonal alterations provoked by the anxiety, modulated by the cognitive evaluation done inthe person that faces this situation and were accompanied by perceptible physiologic alterations. The goals of this study were to verify the influence of trate-anxiety and state -anxiety in psycobiological manifestation of patient in immediate post-operative period. The data were collected using trate and state anxiety inventary, two questionnaires to evaluate clinical conditions of 33 surgical patients. The data were collected in immediate pre-operative and post-operative periods. The results showed a significative correlation between trate and state anxiety in pre-operative period. There was no significative correlation among state anxiety in pre-operative period and clinical conditions in pos-operative period. As conclusion, the correlation was no significative among trate anxiety, state anxiety and psycobiological manifestations in post-operative period

Este estudo avaliou se a dexametasona e o ibuprofeno promovem analgesia preemptiva em tratamentos ou retratamentos endodônticos, se comparados a um placebo, quando empregada a técnica de instrumentação do sistema de canais radiculares em que se trabalha 1 mm além do comprimento real do dente (ampliação foraminal). Para tal, 97 sujeitos foram divididos aleatoriamente em três grupos e tratados com dose única de 4 mg de dexametasona ou 600 mg de ibuprofeno ou placebo, via oral, 30 minutos antes da intervenção, de forma duplo cega. Ao fim do procedimento, os voluntários foram orientados a fazer uso de uma medicação analgésica de resgate (paracetamol 750 mg), somente em caso de dor. Foi anotado o período de tempo decorrido desde o final da intervenção até a tomada do primeiro comprimido de analgésico, além do consumo total desta medicação no período pós-operatório. A incidência e intensidade de dor foram avaliadas por meio de duas escalas analógicas, descritiva e numérica, preenchidas nos tempos de 4, 6 e 24 horas pós-operatórias. O período de tempo decorrido para a tomada do primeiro comprimido analgésico foi menor no grupo placebo (p<0,0001; teste de Kruskal-Wallis), enquanto que o consumo de comprimidos no período pós-operatório foi maior (p<0,0001; teste de Kruskal-Wallis). Com relação a estes mesmos parâmetros, não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos tratados com a dexametasona ou ibuprofeno. Por sua vez, estes medicamentos promoveram uma redução significativa da dor pós-operatória nos tempos de 4 e 6 horas. Considerando a escala analógica descritiva, houve uma menor proporção de indivíduos com dor (leve e moderada) nos grupos tratados, em comparação ao grupo placebo. De acordo com a escala analógica numérica, também promoveram menores valores que o placebo. Não foi encontrada nenhuma diferença estatisticamente significante entre os três grupos após 24 horas, em nenhuma das duas escalas avaliadas. Conclui-se que a dexametasona e o ibuprofeno promovem analgesia preemptiva, reduzem a incidência de dor e a necessidade do uso de analgésicos após tratamentos e retratamentos endodônticos de elementos dentários assintomáticos, quando empregada a técnica de instrumentação do sistema de canais radiculares por meio de patência e ampliação dos forames apicais / Abstract: Preemptive analgesia is an analgesic regimen initiated before the onset of tissue trauma, however its efficacy on endodontic clinic is still controversial. This work evaluated whether dexamethasone and ibuprophen promote preemptive analgesia on endodontic treatments and retreatments, when compared to a placebo, when the radicular canals system instrumentation technique is employed, working 1mm beyond the real tooth length (foraminal enlargement). For this matter, 97 subjects were randomly divided into three groups and treated with a single dose of 4 mg of dexamethasone or 600 mg of ibuprofen or placebo, orally, 30 minutes before intervention, double-blinded. By the end of the procedure, volunteers were oriented to use a rescue analgesic medication (paracetamol 750 mg), only in case of pain. Notes were taken of the time period from the end of the intervention to the moment when the first pill was taken and also of the amount of medication taken during the post-operative period. The pain incidence and intensity were evaluated through two analog scales, descriptive and numerical, which were filled 4, 6 and 24 hours after the intervention. The time period until the first analgesic pill was taken was shorter for the placebo group (p<0,0001; Kruskal-Wallis test), while the consume of pills in the post-operative period was greater (p<0,0001; Kruskal-Wallis test). Considering these same parameters, no statistically significant differences were found among the groups that were treated with dexamethasone or ibuprofen. Nevertheless, these medications promoted a significant reduction of the post-operative pain after 4 and 6 hours. Considering the descriptive analogue scale, there has been a smaller proportion of patients with pain (either mild or moderate) in the groups that were treated, when comparing to the placebo group. According to the numerical analogue scale, they also promoted smaller values than the placebo. No statistically significant difference was found among the three groups after 24 hours, in any of the two evaluated scales. It may then be concluded that dexamethasone and ibuprofen promote preemptive analgesia, reduce the incidence of pain and the need of using analgesics after endodontic treatments and retreatments of the asymptomatic dental elements, when the radicular canal system instrumentation technique is employed through patency and enlargement of the apical foramens / Mestrado / Farmacologia, Anestesiologia e Terapeutica / Mestra em Odontologia
