RESUMO

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the effect of upper eyelid ptosis repairwith Muller muscle-conjunctival resection on meibomian gland function and ocular surface parameters. Methods: Thirty-eight patients who underwent ptosis repair with Muller muscle-conjunctival resection were retrospectively reviewed. Meibomian gland loss, Ocular Surface Disease Index OXFORD score, meiboscore, and noninvasive keratograph break-up time were measured preoperatively and at 1st, 3rd, and 6th months postoperatively. Results: Noninvasive keratograph break-up time values decreased significantly at 1st and 3rd months postoperatively compared to the preoperative level, but were similar to the preoperative level at 6th months postoperatively (p<0.001 and p=0.628, respectively). Ocular surface disease index, OXFORD score, meibomian gland loss, and meiboscore values increased significantly in the 1st and 3rd postoperative months compared to the preoperative period, but these values decreased to preoperative levels in the 6th postoperative month (p<0.001 and p>0.05, respectively). Conclusion: There is a transient deterioration in meibography findings and OSDI score in the early postoperative period afterMuller muscle-conjunctival resection. Patients undergoing Muller muscle-conjunctival resection may require topical lubricants, especially in the first 3 postoperative months.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The analysis of patients submitted to heart surgery at three assessment times has been insufficiently described in the literature. OBJECTIVE: To analyze chest expansion, maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), distance traveled on the six-minute walk test (6MWT), and quality of life in the preoperative period, fourth postoperative day (4th PO), and 30th day after hospital discharge (30th-day HD) in individuals submitted to elective heart surgery. METHODS: A descriptive, analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted with 15 individuals submitted to elective heart surgery between 2016 and 2020 who did not undergo any type of physiotherapeutic intervention in Phase II of cardiac rehabilitation. The outcome variables were difference in chest expansion (axillary, nipple, and xiphoid), MIP, MEP, distance on 6MWT, and quality of life. The assessment times were preoperative period, 4th PO, and 30th-day HD. RESULTS: Chest expansion diminished between the preoperative period and 4th PO, followed by an increase at 30th-day HD. MIP, MEP, and distance traveled on the 6MWT diminished between the preoperative period and 4th PO, with a return to preoperative values at 30th-day HD. General quality of life improved between the preoperative period and 4th PO and 30th-day HD. An improvement was found in the social domain between the preoperative period and the 30th-day HD. CONCLUSION: Heart surgery causes immediate physical deficit, but physical functioning can be recovered 30 days after hospital discharge, resulting in an improvement in quality of life one month after surgery.

RESUMO

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the preoperative muscle mass of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) with computed tomography (CT), comparing the results obtained through analysis of cross-sectional areas at the level of the third lumbar vertebra (L3) with those obtained through analysis of cross-sectional areas at the levels of the third cervical and fourth thoracic vertebrae (C3 and T4, respectively). Materials and Methods: A total of 63 patients with HNC were evaluated preoperatively. Using CT, we assessed muscle mass at L3, as well as at C3 and T4. Results: Most (73.0%) of the patients had low muscle mass at L3, whereas 50.8% had a normal body mass index. The cross-sectional area at L3 correlated strongly with those at C3 and T4 (r = 0.831 and r = 0.763, respectively; p < 0.001 for both). In addition, the muscle mass index at L3 correlated strongly with those at C3 and T4 (r = 0.781 and r = 0.715, respectively; p < 0.001 for both). Conclusion: Low muscle mass appears to be highly prevalent in patients with HNC. Measurements at C3 and T4 could represent alternative means of assessing muscle mass in such patients.

Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar e comparar a massa muscular de pacientes com câncer de cabeça e pescoço (CCP) durante o período pré-operatório com tomografia computadorizada (TC), por meio da análise das áreas transversais no nível da terceira vértebra lombar (L3) em comparação com níveis cervical (C3) e torácico (T4). Materiais e Métodos: Sessenta e três pacientes com CCP foram avaliados no pré-operatório. A TC foi utilizada para avaliar a massa muscular de L3, assim como as secções transversais de C3 e T4. Resultados: A maioria dos pacientes (73,0%) tinha baixa massa muscular analisada pela TC de L3, mas índice de massa corpórea normal (50,8%). Também foi observada forte correlação entre as áreas e o índice de massa muscular (IMM) de L3 com C3 (área: r = 0,831, p < 0,001; IMM: r = 0,781, p < 0,001) e T4 (área: r = 0,763, p < 0,001; IMM: r = 0,715, p < 0,001). Conclusão: A baixa massa muscular é altamente prevalente em pacientes com CCP. As análises de TC em C3 e T4 podem representar opção para avaliar a massa muscular em pacientes com CCP.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The heart and liver are two organs that are closely related. The Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) score is a developed scoring system for assessing liver function. The aims of this study were to examine the correlation between preoperative ALBI score and pulmonary artery pressure and to investigate its ability to predict heart valve surgery mortality outcomes. METHODS: The data of 872 patients who underwent isolated and combined heart valve surgery from 2014 to 2021 were retrospectively screened. In the preoperative period, 152 patients with laboratory tests including albumin and total bilirubin were found and analyzed retrospectively. Thirteen of these patients were excluded from the study. The remaining 139 patients were included in the analysis. Baseline demographic data, echocardiography data, performance status, laboratory data, operative data, and postoperative status were collected. The optimal cutoff value of preoperative ALBI score was calculated. RESULTS: The cutoff for ALBI scores was calculated as -2.44 to predict in-hospital mortality (sensitivity = 75.0%, specificity = 70%). Based on the cutoff value, 90 patients had a low ALBI score (≤ -2.44, 64.7%) and 49 patients had a high ALBI score (> -2.44, 35.3%). High ALBI score was associated with an increased incidence of acute kidney injury and in-hospital mortality, and a positive correlation was found between ALBI score and pulmonary artery pressure. CONCLUSION: In patients with valvular surgery, high ALBI score was an independent prognostic factor of in-hospital mortality and acute kidney injury. It is easily measurable and a cost-effective way to predict mortality.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In this study, we aimed to determine the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients undergoing elective surgery and its relationship with difficult intubation (DI). METHODS: This prospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2018 and February 2020 in the anesthesiology and reanimation service of a training and research hospital. The study included patients who were ASA I...II, 18 years of age, and older who underwent elective surgery under general anesthesia. A form regarding the baseline characteristics of the participants as well as STOP-Bang score, Mallampati, and Cormack-Lehane classification was used to collect the data. RESULTS: The study included 307 patients. It was determined that 64.2% of patients had a high risk of OSA. The presence of DI (determined by repeated attempts at intubation) was 28.6% in the high-risk OSA group, while there was no DI in the low-risk OSA group. A statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of OSA risk according to the presence of DI according to repeated attempts, Cormack-Lehane classification, and Mallampati classification (p...<...0.001). CONCLUSION: Due to the high rate of DI in patients with a high risk of OSA, the security of the airway in these patients is endangered. Early clinical recognition of OSA can help in designing a safer care plan.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Although bariatric surgery is highly effective for the treatment of obesity and its comorbidities, preoperative weight loss has an impact on its results. AIMS: The aim of this study was to correlate preoperative weight loss with the outcome of bariatric surgery using the Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System scores. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional, observational study with 43 patients undergoing bariatric surgery that compared a group of 25 patients with a percentage of preoperative excess weight loss ³8% with a group of 18 patients with a percentage of preoperative excess weight loss <8% or with weight gain. The research took place at the bariatric surgery outpatient clinic of the Oswaldo Cruz University Hospital with patients 1 year after the surgery. RESULTS: Patients had a mean age of 40.8 years (42.7 percentage of preoperative excess weight loss ≥8% vs. 38.2 percentage of preoperative excess weight loss <8%, p=0.095). No significant difference was found between the two groups regarding preoperative comorbidities and body mass index at entry into the program. Higher preoperative body mass index (48.69 vs. 44.0; p=0.029) was observed in the group with percentage of preoperative excess weight loss <8%. No significant difference was found regarding the percentage of excess weight loss (71.4±15.4%; percentage of preoperative excess weight loss ≥8% vs. 69.47%±14.5 percentage of preoperative excess weight loss <8%; p=0.671), the result of the surgery according to the Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System scores protocol, the resolution of comorbidities, the quality of life, and the surgical complications between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the available data, it is reasonable that bariatric surgery should not be denied to people who have not achieved pre-established weight loss before surgery.

RESUMO RACIONAL: Apesar da cirurgia bariátrica ser altamente eficaz para o tratamento da obesidade e suas comorbidades, ainda não está bem estabelecido o impacto da perda de peso pré-operatória em seus resultados. OBJETIVOS: Correlacionar a perda de peso pré-operatória com o resultado da cirurgia bariátrica pelos escores do método Bariatric Analysis and Reportig Outcome System. MÉTODOS: Estudo observacional transversal com 43 pacientes submetidos a cirurgia bariátrica que comparou um grupo de 25 pacientes com percentual de perda do excesso de peso pré-operatória igual ou maior a 8% com um grupo de 18 pacientes com percentual de perda do excesso de peso pré-operatória menor a 8% ou com ganho de peso. A pesquisa ocorreu no ambulatório de Cirurgia Bariátrica do Hospital Universitário Oswaldo Cruz com pacientes após um ano da cirurgia. RESULTADOS: Os pacientes tinham uma média de idade de 40,8 anos (42,7 percentual de perda do excesso de peso pré-operatória ≥8% vs 38,2 percentual de perda do excesso de peso pré-operatória <8%, p=0.095). Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre os dois grupos em relação às comorbidades pré-operatórias e o IMC na entrada do programa. Foi observado maior IMC pré-operatório (48,69 vs 44,0; p=0,029) no grupo com percentual de perda do excesso de peso pré-operatória <8%. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas em relação ao percentual de perda do excesso de peso (71,4±15,4%; percentual de perda do excesso de peso pré-operatória ≥8% vs 69,47±14,5% percentual de perda do excesso de peso pré-operatória <8%, p=0,671), ao resultado da cirurgia pelo protocolo Bariatric Analysis and Reportig Outcome System, a resolução das comorbidades, a qualidade de vida e as complicações cirúrgicas entre os dois grupos. CONCLUSÕES: Com base nos dados disponíveis é condizente que a cirurgia bariátrica não seja negada a pessoas que não atingiram uma perda de peso pré-estabelecida antes da cirurgia.

RESUMO

Objectives: This review of systematic reviews evaluated the effectiveness and safety of the preemptive use of anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs in the management of postoperative pain, edema, and trismus in oral surgery. Materials and methods: The databases searched included the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Epistemonikos, Scopus, Web of Science, and Virtual Health Library, up to March 2023. Pairs of reviewers independently selected the studies, extracted the data, and rated their methodological quality using the AMSTAR-2 tool. Results: All of the 19 studies reviewed had at least two critical methodological flaws. Third molar surgery was the most common procedure (n = 15) and the oral route the most frequent approach (n = 14). The use of betamethasone (10, 20, and 60 mg), dexamethasone (4 and 8 mg), methylprednisolone (16, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 125 mg), and prednisolone (10 and 20 mg) by different routes and likewise of celecoxib (200 mg), diclofenac (25, 30, 50, 75, and 100 mg), etoricoxib (120 mg), ibuprofen (400 and 600 mg), ketorolac (30 mg), meloxicam (7.5, 10, and 15 mg), nimesulide (100 mg), and rofecoxib (50 mg) administered by oral, intramuscular, and intravenous routes were found to reduce pain, edema, and trismus in patients undergoing third molar surgery. Data on adverse effects were poorly reported. Conclusion: Further randomized clinical trials should be conducted to confirm these findings, given the wide variety of drugs, doses, and routes of administration used.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Introduction: The heart and liver are two organs that are closely related. The Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) score is a developed scoring system for assessing liver function. The aims of this study were to examine the correlation between preoperative ALBI score and pulmonary artery pressure and to investigate its ability to predict heart valve surgery mortality outcomes. Methods: The data of 872 patients who underwent isolated and combined heart valve surgery from 2014 to 2021 were retrospectively screened. In the preoperative period, 152 patients with laboratory tests including albumin and total bilirubin were found and analyzed retrospectively. Thirteen of these patients were excluded from the study. The remaining 139 patients were included in the analysis. Baseline demographic data, echocardiography data, performance status, laboratory data, operative data, and postoperative status were collected. The optimal cutoff value of preoperative ALBI score was calculated. Results: The cutoff for ALBI scores was calculated as -2.44 to predict in-hospital mortality (sensitivity = 75.0%, specificity = 70%). Based on the cutoff value, 90 patients had a low ALBI score (≤ -2.44, 64.7%) and 49 patients had a high ALBI score (> -2.44, 35.3%). High ALBI score was associated with an increased incidence of acute kidney injury and in-hospital mortality, and a positive correlation was found between ALBI score and pulmonary artery pressure. Conclusion: In patients with valvular surgery, high ALBI score was an independent prognostic factor of in-hospital mortality and acute kidney injury. It is easily measurable and a cost-effective way to predict mortality.

Métodos Ensaio clínico randomizado, piloto paralelo, simples-cego composto por 48 pacientes submetidos a cirurgias eletivas potencialmente contaminadas que foram aleatoriamente designados para o grupo intervenção (n=25, toalhas impregnadas com gluconato de clorexidina 2%) e grupo controle (n=23, banho pré-operatório com gluconato de clorexidina líquida 2%). O desfecho primário foi infecção do sítio cirúrgico dentro de 30 dias após a cirurgia. Os pacientes foram instruídos a usar os produtos na noite anterior e na manhã da cirurgia e receberam instruções verbais e escritas sobre o uso. Foram utilizados os testes Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney, teste T para duas amostras, Pearson X2 e testes exatos de Fisher, risco relativo (RR) e intervalo de confiança de 95%. O nível de significância para todas as variáveis foi estabelecido em α = 5%. Resultados Oito (16,7%) dos 48 pacientes analisados desenvolveram infecção do sítio cirúrgico. Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os grupos quanto à incidência de infecção do sítio cirúrgico (RR: 0,92; IC 95%: 0,25-3,25; p=0,898), contudo, não houve casos de infecção do sítio cirúrgico incisional superficial no grupo intervenção. Conclusão O uso de toalhas impregnadas com gluconato de clorexidina 2% para preparo pré-operatório da pele não apresentou diferença estatisticamente significativa na prevenção de infecção do sítio cirúrgico em comparação com o uso de banho pré-operatório com gluconato de clorexidina 2% líquida.

Abstract Objective To compare the use of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate-impregnated cloth and 2% liquid chlorhexidine gluconate in the preoperative skin preparation to prevent the occurrence of surgical site infections in patients undergoing clean-contaminated elective surgeries. Methods Parallel, single-blind, pilot study of the randomized clinical trial (RCT), composed by forty-eight patients underwent clean-contaminated elective surgeries were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n=25, 2% chlorhexidine gluconate-impregnated cloth) and the control group (n=23, pre-operative bathing with 2% liquid chlorhexidine gluconate). The primary outcome was surgical site infection within 30 days after surgery. The patients were instructed to use the products at the night before and at the morning of surgery and received verbal and written instruction on their use. The tests Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney, Two Sample t-test, Pearson X2 and Fisher's exact tests, risk relative (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used. The level of significance for all variables was set at α = 5%. Results 48 patients analyzed, eight (16.7%) developed a surgical site infection. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups regarding the incidence of surgical site infection (RR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.25-3.25; p=0.898), however there were not cases of superficial incisional surgical site infection in the intervention group. Conclusion The use of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate-impregnated cloth for preoperative skin preparation did not reveal a statistically significant difference in the prevention of surgical site infection compared to the use of pre-operative bathing with 2% liquid chlorhexidine gluconate.

Introduction: Professional improvement in general surgeons, particularly in preoperative care, is a way to increase permanent or continuous education, which contributes to the creation of men of science with certain values and attitudes. Objective: To design an upgrading strategy for the development of professional skills in preoperative care that contributes to the improvement of professional performance in general surgeons. Methods: As theoretical methods, analysis-synthesis was used, together with the historical-logical method, systematization, induction-deduction, modeling, documentary analysis, and the structural-functional-systemic method; while, at the empirical level, scientific observation was used. Results: The design of the strategy responded to the development of professional skills in preoperative mediated care and was based on philosophical, sociological, psychological, epistemological, pedagogical and medical education referents. It was conceived in four stages and used the Deming cycle, which establishes essential relationships with internal logical coherence to medical education, particularly in the area of permanent and continuous education for health professionals. Conclusions: The design of the professional strategy allows the enrichment of medical education sciences from the postgraduate level as a science under construction, specifically in the area of permanent and continuous training of general surgeons. Insofar it deepens from the internal, external and contextual levels for the development of professional skills in the mediate preoperative period, the proposed strategy is dynamic, allowing for the improvement of professional performance from the point of view of self-upgrading(AU)

RESUMO

Resumen: Nuevas herramientas han surgido como modelos predictores de riesgo cardiovascular y pulmonar en valoración preoperatoria y riesgo anestésico. Desde el estudio publicado por Goldman en 1977, han surgido diversas escalas ya validadas, predictoras de complicaciones cardiovasculares como el riesgo cardíaco revisado por Lee y las calculadoras del National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). La valoración de la capacidad funcional es obligatoria, estudios de gabinete como electrocardiograma, radiografía de tórax y, en algunos casos, el uso adecuado de un ecocardiograma, espirometría, entre otros. Las complicaciones pulmonares postoperatorias pueden predecirse basados en el modelo de ARISCAT. En una era en la que las consultas de subespecialistas y el exceso de estudios sólo agregan costo sin mejorar los resultados sustancialmente, los anestesiólogos debemos tomar una responsabilidad clara para la valoración preoperatoria de pacientes quirúrgicos.

Abstract: New tools have emerged as predictive models of cardiovascular and pulmonary risk, in preoperative assessment and anesthetic risk. Since the study published by Goldman in 1977, several scales have already been validated, predictors of cardiovascular complications such as the cardiac risk reviewed by Lee and the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) calculators. The assessment of functional capacity is mandatory, extension studies such as electrocardiogram, chest radiography, and in some cases, the proper use of an echocardiogram, spirometry, among others. Postoperative pulmonary complications can be predicted based on the ARISCAT model. In an era in which subspecialist consultations and overstudies only add cost without substantially improving results, anesthesiologists must take a clear responsibility for the preoperative assessment of surgical patients.

RESUMO

Abstract By November 2021, at the time of preparing this article, the disease caused by the new coronavirus (Coronavirus Disease 2019 - COVID-19), declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020, had affected more than 128 million people and claimed upwards of 5 million lives. Many of the patients who suffered from this disease will need elective procedures, and this will require knowledge on how to perform the surgery, what tests to order and the extent of preoperative optimization. The objective of this work was to conduct a narrative review of the current evidence regarding time to the performance of an elective procedure in a patient who suffered from COVID-19, the preoperative tests that need to be ordered, and the degree of clinical optimization required according to the complexity of the surgery and individual patient clinical condition. A search was conducted in the Pubmed/Medline, Science Direct, OVID and SciELO databases, as well as in the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) web-based platforms. Although the evidence is still limited, different scientific societies have issued relevant guidelines pertaining to the timing of an elective procedure after COVID-19 infection. For patients who were asymptomatic, the time is 4 weeks after the initial diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, whereas for symptomatic patients with a mild to moderate course, the time is at least 7 weeks, and 12 weeks if ICU admission was required. There are no guidelines pertaining to preoperative tests or the degree of clinical optimization, although institutional protocols have been developed based on expert consensus on the topic.

Resumen La enfermedad por el nuevo coronavirus COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) declarada pandemia por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) el 11 de marzo de 2020, ha registrado más de 128 millones de casos a escala mundial, con más de cinco millones de muertes a noviembre de 2021, fecha de elaboración de este artículo. Muchos de los pacientes que tuvieron esta enfermedad se someterán a procedimientos electivos, y es necesario saber realizar la cirugía, los exámenes por solicitar y el grado de optimización preoperatoria. El objetivo de este trabajo es elaborar una revisión narrativa de la evidencia actual respecto al tiempo de realización de un procedimiento electivo en un paciente que tuvo COVID-19, los exámenes preoperatorios que se deben solicitar y el grado de optimización clínica según la complejidad de la cirugía y el estado clínico del paciente. Para ello, se realizó una búsqueda en bases de datos (Pubmed/Medline, Science Direct, OVID, SciELO), así como en plataformas web de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y los Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC). Aunque la evidencia aún es limitada, diferentes sociedades científicas han dado pautas relevantes respecto al tiempo de realización de un procedimiento electivo despues de sufrir COVID-19. Para el caso de pacientes que fueron asintomáticos es de 4 semanas después del diagnóstico de infección por SARS-CoV-2, mientras que para pacientes sintomáticos con un curso de la enfermedad leve a moderado es de mínimo 7 semanas, y de 12 semanas si requirió ingreso a cuidados intensivos. No hay guías que orienten en cuanto a la solicitud de exámenes preoperatorios y el grado de optimización clínica, pero sí protocolos institucionales basados en consenso de expertos que abordan esta temática.

RESUMO

Malnutrition is associated with several complications during hospital stay, including patients who will undergo major surgery. Therefore, it is important to optimize nutritional status in the preoperative period being the main objective restoring metabolic and immunological abnormalities. Preoperative fasting is a common practice in clinical settings, although it has been shown to induce insulin resistance. One intervention to avoid this practice is the implementation of the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol. Proper nutritional assessment in hospitalized patients is the cornerstone to identify patients at nutritional risk, or those in malnutrition who may benefit from early nutritional interventions. The feeding route should be chosen according to the patient's condition, either orally with the use of nutritional supplements and in those where calorie requirements cannot be achieved by oral, enteral nutrition is the next logical step, reserving parenteral nutritional support in patients with non-functional gastrointestinal tracts in order to improve postoperative morbidity and mortality.

La desnutrición se asocia con una larga lista de complicaciones intrahospitalarias, incluidos aquellos pacientes que se someterán a cirugía mayor. Por lo tanto, es importante optimizar el estado nutricional en el período preoperatorio, siendo el objetivo principal la restauración de anomalías metabólicas e inmunitarias. El ayuno preoperatorio es una práctica sistemática en el ámbito clínico, a pesar de que se ha demostrado que induce resistencia a la insulina. Una de las intervenciones para evitar dicha práctica es la implementación del protocolo ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery). Una correcta valoración nutricional en los pacientes hospitalizados es de vital importancia para identificar aquellos con riesgo nutricional, o bien aquellos en desnutrición que pudieran beneficiarse de intervenciones nutricionales tempranas. La ruta de alimentación debe elegirse de acuerdo con el estado del paciente, por vía oral con el uso de suplementos nutricionales o con nutrición enteral en aquellos cuyos requerimientos calóricos no logran ser alcanzados por dicha vía, y reservando el apoyo nutricional parenteral para aquellos con tracto gastrointestinal no funcional, con el objetivo de mejorar la morbilidad y la mortalidad posoperatorias.
