Prevention And Treatment

Perioperative delirium is a wide-ranging problem that directly affects primary clinical results. The anesthesiologist must understand how to define and diagnose delirium, identify patients at high risk of delirium, identify predisposing factors to adjust the care plan appropriately, and manage delirium in the acute postoperative period. Delirium is an organ dysfunction in critically ill patients, independently associated with improved morbidity. Research on delirium in hospitalized patients (including critically ill patients) has increased exponentially in the last decade. This study emphasizes the need for a mechanistic explanation of delirium to help advance the research that ultimately leads to its prevention and treatment. In this study, multinational and multidisciplinary clinicians, and researchers from the fields of critical care medicine, psychiatry, anesthesiology, neurology, and pharmacy sought to collaborate in the management of delirium in the intensive care unit (ICU).

Thrombotic Complications

AbstractSARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) infection is associated with high risk of venous and arterial thrombosis. Thrombotic complications, especially pulmonary embolism, lead to increased all-cause mortality in both intensive care unit and noncritically ill patients. Damage and activation of vascular endothelium, platelet activation, followed by thrombotic and fibrinolytic imbalance as well as hypercoagulability are the key pathomechanisms in immunothrombosis leading to a significant increase in thromboembolism in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) compared with other acute illnesses. In this review article, we discuss the incidence and prognosis, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of venous thromboembolism in patients with COVID-19 disease, based on clinical experience and research available to date.

ABSTRACTObjective: to realize a study on the skin integrity inpatients staying in an Intensive Care Unit of the Vital Hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Method: a retrospective and documental research with quantitative approach. The population will comprise 300 patients hospitalized during the period September/2002 to December/2004. It will be used an instrument as a guide to patient’s medical register, aiming: to identify the patient profile; the evaluation of cutaneous integrity; to use effective measures of prevention and treatment during the period; and clinical evolution. This is a research study approved by the Research Ethical Committee of the Medicine School of the Federal Fluminense University, registered under the nr. 136/08, dated 17/10/2008. Results expected: to contribute to increase knowledge related to patients with factors which may cause the development of pressure ulcer. Descriptors: pressure ulcer; nursing; intensive care unit.RESUMOObjetivo: realizar um estudo acerca da integridade da pele em pacientes internados na unidade de terapia intensiva do Hospital Vital no município do Rio de Janeiro, RJ. Método: estudo retrospectivo, documental, de abordagem quantitativa. A população será composta de 300 pacientes internados no período de 2002 à dezembro de 2004. Será aplicado um instrumento para consulta ao prontuário dos pacientes, visando: identificação do perfil, avaliação da integridade cutânea na admissão e alta, ações de prevenção e tratamento no período, e evolução clínica. O presente estudo é um projeto de pesquisa que está aprovado no Comitê de Ética da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal Fluminense, sob o nº 136/08 de 17/10/08.
