RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To perform the translation and adaptation of the Michigan Appropriateness Guide for Intravenous Catheters in Pediatrics (miniMAGIC) into Brazilian Portuguese. METHODS: Methodological study performed in five recommended stages: initial translations; synthesis of the translations; back translations; assessment of the back translations; expert committee assessment. The expert committee was composed of three registered nurses and two doctors who had a Master's and/or PhD degree, and an expertise in intravenous therapy and pediatric and neonatal care. To assess the semantic, idiomatic, experiential and conceptual adequacy, a Likert scale was applied, in which 1, "not equivalent"; 2, "inequivalent"; 3, "cannot assess"; 4, "quite equivalent"; 5, "totally equivalent". The terms mostly analyzed as negative in equivalence and with a lower than 20 score were reviewed and submitted to a new assessment, with the Delphi Technique until consensus was obtained. The results were stored in electronic spreadsheets and treated with concordance index, with a minimum acceptable result of 0.80. RESULTS: The content of all recommendations, named as miniMAGIC-Brasil, was validated by the expert committee after two stages of evaluation. All recommendations had an overall agreement index of 0.91. CONCLUSIONS: The miniMAGIC-Brazil guide was validated in respect to the adequacy of the translation after two steps.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objectives: to construct and verify the clinical applicability of a flowchart for assessing children and adolescents who will undergo peripheral intravenous catheterization, according to risk factors for procedure failure. Method: this is a methodological and observational study, which followed the AGREEII instrument guidelines and steps for the construction of a decision-making flowchart for difficult peripheral intravenous puncture. Afterwards, clinical applicability with children and adolescents was verified after approval of ethical merit, with the main outcome being the success rate in the first puncture attempt. It was verified, through statistical analysis, the association of the outcome with the risk factors raised. Results: in the first stage of the study, a literature review was carried out to survey the risk factors for difficult puncture, and prematurity, less than three years, more pigmented skin, obesity, chronic diseases, dehydration, vein difficult to see and/or not palpable, history of multiple punctures and complications of intravenous therapy were found. After applying the flowchart, it was found that 96.3% of the children and adolescents assessed were at risk of being punctured more than once and that 43.9% underwent more than one procedure for success. Those who were unsuccessful on the first attempt were younger than three years old, had chronic disease, vein difficult to see, not palpable vein and a history of multiple punctures. Conclusion: flowchart construction was based on the risk factors for difficult puncture identified in the literature. Clinical applicability showed that it can be a useful tool to identify children and adolescents at risk for puncture failure.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The use of checklists in the pediatric intensive care unit can help improve the quality of care and patient safety. OBJECTIVES: To build and validate a checklist for use in interprofessional rounds in a pediatric intensive care unit. METHODS: This methodological study was conducted in a 20-bed pediatric intensive care unit serving children up to 14 years old. A checklist prototype was constructed through review of the literature and achievement of consensus among the professionals providing care in the unit. Content validation was performed using a modified Delphi technique involving specialists with more than 5 years of experience in pediatric intensive care, methodological studies, and patient safety. Content validity ratios were calculated for the elements of the checklist, which were considered valid when they reached values greater than 0.78. The checklist was tested for usability, application time, and effects on patient care, and feedback was obtained from potential users. RESULTS: Before content validation, the checklist contained 11 domains, 32 items, and 6 daily goals. The invitation to validate content was sent to 86 specialists, and content validity was achieved after 2 rounds of evaluation, with the checklist elements having content validity ratios ranging from 0.94 to 0.97. The mean application time of the checklist was 5 minutes. The final version consisted of 11 domains, 33 items, and 8 daily goals. CONCLUSIONS: This study resulted in a useful and valid instrument for application in interprofessional rounds that was tailored to the needs of local health care professionals.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: to verify the stability of vancomycin hydrochloride in antimicrobial seal solutions with and without association of heparin sodium according to temperature and association time. METHOD: an experimental study designed for the analysis of hydrogenionic potential and concentration by means of high-efficiency liquid chromatography of vancomycin hydrochloride (n=06) and vancomycin hydrochloride and heparin sodium (n=06). The solutions studied were submitted to absence of light, as well as to 22°C and 37°C. Analyses in triplicate (n=192) were performed at the initial moment (T0) and three (T3), eight (T8) and 24 hours (T24) after preparation. The data were submitted to analysis of variance (p≤0.05). RESULTS: concentration of the antimicrobial at 22°C presented a reduction (T0-T8) and a subsequent increase (T24); hydrogenionic potential decreased significantly over time. At 37°C, the concentration increased up to T3 and decreased at T24, with a reduction of hydrogenionic potential up to 24 hours. Concentration of the vancomycin hydrochloride and heparin sodium solutions varied with a reduction at 22°C, accompanied by increased hydrogenionic potential. Precipitate formation was observed by visual inspection of the vancomycin hydrochloride-heparin sodium association (T3). CONCLUSION: pharmacological stability of vancomycin hydrochloride (5 mg/mL) and physical incompatibility with heparin sodium (100 IU/mL) were evidenced after three hours of association in the antimicrobial seal solutions studied.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate infusion pumps start-up delay according to different brands of infusion pumps, flow rates and intravenous sets priming techniques. METHOD: The experimental study simulated clinical practice under controlled conditions, using a 50 mL syringe with NaCl 0.9% solution, two syringe infusion pumps (A and B), six rates (0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 5, 10 and 20 mL/h), two purging techniques (manually or infusion pump's electronic bolus). Data were analyzed according to mean, standard deviation, Student's t and ANOVA tests (p<0.05). RESULTS: The start-up delay was greater in low rates regardless the priming technique. The electronic bolus increased the infusion pump A accuracy at 0.3mL/h (p=0.010), 0.5 mL/h (p=0.002) and 1.0mL/h (p=0.004). Pump's accuracy in all studied rates and manual IV sets filling was similar. CONCLUSION: In low infusion rates the start-up delay was greater despite the infusion pump brand and electronic bolus improved pumps accuracy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Critically ill patients frequently need blood transfusions. For safety, blood must be delivered via syringe infusion pumps, yet this can cause red cell damage and increase the rate of haemolysis. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate biochemical and haemolytic markers of red blood cells transfused in three different types of syringe infusion pumps at two different infusion rates (10 and 100 mL/h). DESIGN AND METHODS: A lab-based study using aliquots of 16 red blood cell bags was undertaken. Haemolysis markers (total haemoglobin [g/dL], haematocrit [%], free haemoglobin [g/dL], potassium [mmol/L], lactate dehydrogenase [U/L], osmolality [mOsm/kg], pH, degree of haemolysis [%]) were measured before and after red blood cell infusion and exposure. Three different syringe infusion pumps brands (A, B, and C) were compared at two different infusion rates (10 and 100 mL/h). RESULTS: Total haemoglobin fell significantly in all red blood cell units during manipulation (pre-infusion: 26.44 ± 5.74; post-exposure: 22.62 ± 4.00; P = .026). The degree of haemolysis significantly increased by 40% after manipulation of the red blood cells. Syringe infusion pump A caused a 3-fold increase in potassium levels (3.78 ± 6.10) when compared with B (-0.14 ± 1.46) and C (1.63 ± 1.98) (P = .015). This pump also produced the worst changes, with an increase in free haemoglobin (0.05 ± 0.05; P = .038) and more haemolysis (0.08 ± 0.07; P = .033). There were significant differences and an increase in the degree of haemolysis (P = .004) at the infusion rate of 100 mL/h. CONCLUSIONS: Syringe infusion pumps may cause significant red blood cell damage during infusion, with increases in free haemoglobin, potassium, and the degree of haemolysis. Some pump types, with a cassette mechanism, caused more damage. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: In many intensive care units, bedside nurses are able to consider infusion pump choice, and understanding the impact of different pump types on red blood cells during a transfusion provides the nurses with more information to enhance decision-making and improve the quality of the transfusion.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To verify characteristics related to critical children, the catheter, and the professionals that will influence the time for the success of the puncture. METHOD: Descriptive, prospective, and correlation study, collected with an unique instrument, and a sample consisting of 89 children cared for in the emergency room. Statistical analysis of the association between time and explanatory variables was performed, considering a significance of 5%. RESULT: The median time for success was 193.4 seconds. Multivariate analysis showed that hypothermic patients (p=0.009) presented prolonged times for success and that the puncture was performed in a shorter time with Vialon® 22G catheters (p=0.045). CONCLUSION: The median time for success was higher than recommended, being influenced by hypothermia and condition of veins the children. The Vialon® 22G catheter is the most suitable for puncturing critical patients. Thus, the incorporation of new practices and technologies is necessary for success to occur in less time.

RESUMO

Resumo Objetivo: Identificar as variações nos níveis de marcadores de hemólise em CH administrados por CCIP segundo o calibre do cateter. Método: Estudo experimental realizado em laboratório com condições de temperatura e umidade controladas. A amostra teve 36 alíquotas de sangue de 10 bolsas de hemácias com tipo de sangue A+; infusão de gravidade foi utilizada em seis CCIP de 3Fr (French) e seis de 4Fr, totalizando 12 experimentos divididos em três tempos: basal, fluxo livre e fluxo controlado. Analisou-se grau de hemólise, valores totais e livres de hemoglobina, desidrogenase láctica e potássio. Resultados: Houve aumento da média de hemoglobina livre (p=0,01) e grau de hemólise (p=0,01) após infusão de fluxo livre, com média de elevação de 0,04 de potássio (p<0,01) e redução de hemoglobina total (p=0,01) em fluxo controlado. O concentrado de hemácias aplicadas em 4Fr CCIP teve média de elevação de grau de fluxo. O CCIP de 3Fr teve aumento médio significante em grau de hemólise (p=0,03) e hemoglobina livre (p=0,01) após controle do fluxo. Conclusão: O CCIP de 4Fr foram associados a maiores mudanças nos marcadores de hemólise. Maior dimensão do calibre pode proporcionar fluxo turbulento, contribuindo para um maior choque entre as hemácias.

Se analizó el nivel de hemólisis, valores totales y libres de hemoglobina, deshidrogenasa láctica y potasio. Resultados: Hubo un aumento del promedio de hemoglobina libre (p=0,01) y nivel de hemólisis (p=0,01) después de infusión de flujo libre, con promedio de elevación de 0,04 de potasio (p<0,01) y reducción de hemoglobina total (p=0,01) en flujo controlado. El concentrado de eritrocitos aplicados en 4 FR CCIP tuvo promedio de elevación de nivel de flujo. El CCIP de 3 FR tuvo un aumento promedio significativo en nivel de hemólisis (p=0,03) y hemoglobina libre (p=0,01) después de control de flujo. Conclusión: El CCIP de 4 FR fue asociado a mayores cambios en los marcadores de hemólisis. Mayor dimensión del calibre puede proporcionar flujo turbulento, lo que contribuye a un mayor choque entre los eritrocitos.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the change in hemolysis markers in packed red blood cells, administered by gravity infusion in non-valved PICC lines, according to different sizes. Methods: Experimental study carried out in laboratory under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. The sample had 36 blood aliquots from 10 packed red blood cells bags with A positive blood type; gravity infusion was used in six 3 French (Fr) PICC and in six 4Fr PICC, totaling 12 experiments divided in three moments: Basal, Free Flow and Controlled Flow. Degree of hemolysis, total and free hemoglobin values, lactic dehydrogenase and potassium were analyzed. Results: There was an average increase of free hemoglobin (p=0.01) and degree of hemolysis (p=0.01) after Free Flow infusion, with 0.04 average elevation of potassium (p<0.01) and decrease of total hemoglobin (p=0.01) in Controlled Flow. The packed red blood cells infused in 4Fr PICC had average elevation of degree of hemolysis (p=0.03) in Free Flow, and potassium (p=0.03) and degree of hemolysis (p=0.05) in the Controlled Flow. The 3Fr PICC had significant average increase in the degree of hemolysis (p=0.03) and free hemoglobin (p=0.01) after flow control. Conclusion: The 4Fr PICC were associated to higher changes in hemolysis markers. We infer that the larger size can provide a turbulent flow, contributing to a larger clash among red blood cells.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify characteristics related to critical children, the catheter, and the professionals that will influence the time for the success of the puncture. Method: Descriptive, prospective, and correlation study, collected with an unique instrument, and a sample consisting of 89 children cared for in the emergency room. Statistical analysis of the association between time and explanatory variables was performed, considering a significance of 5%. Result: The median time for success was 193.4 seconds. Multivariate analysis showed that hypothermic patients (p=0.009) presented prolonged times for success and that the puncture was performed in a shorter time with Vialon® 22G catheters (p=0.045). Conclusion: The median time for success was higher than recommended, being influenced by hypothermia and condition of veins the children. The Vialon® 22G catheter is the most suitable for puncturing critical patients. Thus, the incorporation of new practices and technologies is necessary for success to occur in less time.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Comprobar las características relacionadas al niño en situación crítica, al catéter y al profesional que ejercerán influencia en el tiempo de punción. Método: Estudio descriptivo, prospectivo y correlacional, recolectado con instrumento propio, con muestra de 89 niños atendidos en la sala de urgencias. Se realizó el análisis estadístico para asociar el tiempo con las variables explicativas considerando nivel de significancia del 5%. Resultado: El tiempo promedio fue de 193,4 segundos. El análisis multivariado demostró que los pacientes hipotérmicos (p=0,009) presentaron tiempos prolongados para el éxito y que la punción se realiza en menor tiempo con el catéter de Vialon® 22G (p=0,045). Conclusión: El tiempo promedio para el éxito fue superior a lo recomendado, siendo influenciado por la hipotermia y la red venosa comprometida. El catéter de Vialon® 22G es lo más indicado para puncionar pacientes en situación crítica. Hace necesario la incorporación de nuevas prácticas y tecnologías para que alcance el éxito en menor tiempo.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: to compare two compression times of the radial artery after coronary angiography with customized compressive dressing regarding the occurrence of hemostasis and vascular complications. METHOD: a randomized clinical study was carried out in patients undergoing elective transradial coronary angiography in two study groups: (G30), whose compressive dressing was maintained for 30 minutes, and (G60), whose compressive dressing was maintained for 60 minutes, both until the first evaluation of hemostasis. Variables related to patients, procedure, occurrence of hemostasis, and vascular complications were analyzed. Patency of the radial artery was assessed with Doppler vascular ultrasonography, immediately after removing the compressive dressing and 30 days after the procedure. RESULTS: the sample consisted of 152 patients in G30 and 151 in G60. Hemostasis was evidenced in the first evaluation in 76.3% of G30 patients and 84.2% of G60 patients (p = 0.063). There were 91 immediate complications, being 53 hematomas and 38 occlusions of the radial artery. We identified 18 late occlusions, 7 (5.5%) in G30 and 11 (8.2%) in G60. CONCLUSION: the different compression times of the radial artery after coronary angiography did not significantly influence the occurrence of hemostasis and vascular complications.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the hemolysis biomarkers of packed red blood cells transfused by two different linear peristaltic infusion pumps at two infusion rates. METHOD: An experimental and randomized study was designed simulating the clinical practice of transfusion. Two linear peristaltic infusion pumps from different manufactures were studied in triplicate at 100 mL/h and 300mL/h infusion rates. The chosen hemolysis biomarkers were total hemoglobin, free hemoglobin, hematocrit, potassium and degree of hemolysis. They were analyzed before and after each infusion. RESULTS: Potassium showed statistically significant variations in all scenarios of the experiment (P<0.010). In a separated analysis, potassium increased mainly at 300mL/h rate (P=0.021) and free hemoglobin had significant variation when comparing infusion pumps from different manufacturers (P=0.026). Although hematocrit, total hemoglobin and degree of hemolysis had increased after infusion, no statistically significance variations were identified. CONCLUSIONS: Hemolysis risk induced by a linear peristaltic infusion pump was identified by an increase in free hemoglobin and potassium markers. As the potassium biomarker is often increased in aged packed red blood cells, we do not recommend using them in this scenario. Additional studies should be performed about other markers and using larger samples in order to reinforce the transfusion practice in nursing.

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar os biomarcadores de hemólise de concentrado de hemácias transfundidos por duas bombas de infusão peristáltica linear distintas, em duas taxas de infusão. Método: estudo experimental randomizado desenhado para simular a prática clínica da transfusão. Duas bombas de infusão peristáltica linear de diferentes fabricantes foram estudadas em triplicata a 100 ml/h e 300 mL/h de infusão. Os biomarcadores de hemólise escolhidos foram hemoglobina total, hemoglobina livre, hematócrito, potássio e grau de hemólise. Eles foram analisados antes e após cada infusão. Resultados: o potássio apresentou variações estatisticamente significativas em todos os cenários do experimento (P < 0,010). Em análise separada, o potássio aumentou principalmente na taxa de 300 mL/h (P = 0,021) e a hemoglobina livre teve uma variação significativa no experimento comparando bombas de infusão de diferentes fabricantes (P = 0,026). Embora o hematócrito, a hemoglobina total e o grau de hemólise tenham aumentado após a infusão, não foram identificadas variações estatisticamente significativas. Conclusões: o risco de hemólise induzido por bombas de infusão peristáltica linear foi identificado com base em um aumento nos marcadores de hemoglobina livre e potássio. Como o biomarcador potássio é frequentemente aumentado em concentrados de hemácias envelhecidos, não se recomenda usá-los nesse cenário e estudos adicionais podem ser realizados. Vale a pena realizar estudos sobre outros marcadores e utilizar amostras maiores para fundamentar a prática de enfermagem transfusional.

RESUMEN Objetivo: evaluar los biomarcadores de hemólisis de concentrados de glóbulos rojos transfundidos por dos bombas de infusión peristálticas lineales diferentes a dos velocidades de infusión. Método: se hizo un estudio experimental y aleatorizado que simula la práctica clínica de la transfusión. Se estudiaron dos bombas de infusión peristálticas lineales de diferentes fabricantes por triplicado a velocidades de infusión de 100 ml/h y 300 ml/h. Los biomarcadores de hemólisis elegidos fueron la hemoglobina total, la hemoglobina libre, el hematocrito, el potasio y el grado de hemólisis. Fueron analizados antes y después de cada infusión. Resultados: El potasio mostró variaciones estadísticamente significativas en todos los escenarios del experimento (P <0.010). En análisis separados, el potasio aumentó principalmente a una tasa de 300 ml/h (P=0.021) y la hemoglobina libre tuvo una variación significativa en un experimento de un fabricante de bomba de infusión (P=0.026). Aunque el hematocrito, la hemoglobina total y el grado de hemólisis aumentaron después de la infusión, no se identificaron variaciones estadísticamente significativas. Conclusiones: el riesgo de hemólisis inducido por una bomba de infusión peristáltica lineal se identificó por un aumento en la hemoglobina libre y los marcadores de potasio. Debido a que el biomarcador de potasio a menudo aumenta en los glóbulos rojos concentrados de edad, no recomendamos utilizarlos en este escenario y se podrían realizar estudios adicionales. Vale la pena realizar estudios sobre otros marcadores y el uso de muestras más grandes para fundamentar la práctica de enfermería de transfusión de sangre.
