Recovery from cardiovascular surgical procedures can be problematic for the frail elderly due to developmental considerations and the way that post-operative education is delivered in hospitals. In this short communication paper, we outline the physical and developmental considerations of this cohort as well as the standard delivery of post-operative education. As an alternative, we introduce online gaming and explore considerations for the design of this intervention related to post-operative, frail elderly cardiovascular surgical patients. Specific strategies and/or techniques for addressing each of these influences are presented.

 Objetivo: traçar o perfil dos enfermeiros perfusionistas brasileiros atuantes no mercado de trabalho. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo observacional com delineamento transversal. Foram obtidos dados de perfil sócio demográfico e profissional dos perfusionistas em situação ativa no Brasil através do preenchimento de um questionário eletrônico. A amostra contemplou 70 enfermeiros perfusionistas. Resultados:  a maioria dos profissionais é do sexo feminino (44%), possui 38,3±8,62 anos. A formação complementar demonstra um período de transição e aperfeiçoamento nesta especialidade: 84,2% destes possuem pós-graduação. Conclusão: o perfil profissional dos enfermeiros perfusionistas está em franca evolução em termos de qualificação e, nesse enfoque, torna-se necessário o conhecimento da especialidade para o delineamento de novas ações e inserção profissional em diferentes cenários da tecnologia extracorpórea.Descritores: Circulação Extracorpórea; Procedimentos Cirúrgicos Cardiovasculares; Enfermagem. Objective: to profile the Brazilian perfusionist nurses working in the labor market. Methods: This is an observational study with cross-sectional design. Data on socio-demographic and professional profile of perfusionists in active situation in Brazil were obtained by completing an electronic questionnaire. The sample included 70 perfusionist nurses. Results: most professionals are female (44%), 38.3 ± 8.62 years old. Complementary education demonstrates a period of transition and improvement in this specialty: 84.2% of these have postgraduate degrees. Conclusion: the professional profile of perfusionist nurses is clearly evolving in terms of qualification and, in this approach, it is necessary to know the specialty to delineate new actions and professional insertion in different scenarios of extracorporeal technology.Keywords: Cardiopulmonary bypass; Cardiovascular Surgical Procedures; Nursing. Objetivo: perfilar las enfermeras perfusionistas brasileñas que trabajan en el mercado laboral.

Background Hemostatic agents are increasingly used as an adjunct to standard methods of controlling anastomotic bleeding in surgical procedures. The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and effectiveness of BioFoam Surgical Matrix used as an adjunct for anastomotic hemostasis following cardiovascular surgery. Methods A prospective, multicenter, single arm study was conducted with 75 subjects treated with BioFoam following a total of 105 elective cardiovascular surgical procedures. Time to hemostasis was recorded following a single application of BioFoam in 74 subjects. Safety evaluations included intraoperative administration of a blood product, requirement for alternative means to achieve hemostasis, and the incidence of reoperation for bleeding. Results Hemostasis within 3 minutes was achieved in 62 (84%) of the 74 subjects and within 10 minutes in 69 (93%) of these subjects. BioFoam was well tolerated. Twelve (16%) of the 75 enrolled subjects each experienced one adverse event, and 13 serious adverse events were reported in 10 (13.3%) of the subjects. None of the adverse events was considered by the Investigators to be related to BioFoam. Blood products were administered to 14 (18.6%) of the 75 subjects, banked autologous blood was given to 5 (6.6%) subjects, and 57 (75.7%) subjects required only a cell saver. Four (5.3%) of the 75 subjects required reoperation for bleeding within 24 hours of surgery. There were no observations of bleeding in any subject at discharge and no reoperation for bleeding following discharge. The mean operation time was 218.2 (±72.2) minutes. Conclusions This study demonstrates the effectiveness of BioFoam Surgical Matrix when used as an adjunct for anastomotic hemostasis following a broad range of cardiovascular surgical procedures. The safety outcomes were within the normal limits for the types of procedures performed.
