This study aimed to evaluate the parameters established in COFEN Resolution 293/04 concerning nursing staff dimensioning in adult intensive care units (AICU). The research was conducted in six hospitals in São Paulo City. The daily quantitative average of professionals needed for patient care was calculated according to the parameters established by COFEN. The obtained results were compared with the existing number of daily staff members in these units. It was observed that the proportions recommended by COFEN for the nurse category are superior to those used in the hospitals studied, which represents a challenge for Brazilian nursing. Mean care time values were found appropriate and represent important standards for dimensioning the minimum number of professionals in AICU. This study contributed to the validation of the parameters indicated in Resolution 293/04 for nursing staff dimensioning in the AICU.

Hoje em dia a humanização é ponto de pauta nos encontros nacionais e internacionais da área da saúde. Assim, cada vez mais enfermeiros nas unidades de terapia intensiva tem se preocupado com a sua prática. O presente estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de compreender, reconhecer e entender como o comportamento humanizado reflete ao paciente e identificar a percepção da equipe de enfermagem sobre o processo de humanização. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de revisão bibliográfica descritiva com análise qualitativa, os dados foram coletados nas Bases de Dados de Enfermagem (BDENF) da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS) e livros publicados no período de 2009 a 2012. O ambiente de cuidados em UTI precisa ser acolhedor, integrador e estimulador para todos os envolvidos no processo de cuidado e/ou sob o cuidado. A humanização não tem data e nem momento certo para acontecer, devendo estar presente em todas as ações dos profissionais no cuidado ao paciente, a despeito das barreiras encontradas. A educação permanente é uma importante aliada que pode contribuir de forma positiva para assistência humanizada.Descritores: Enfermagem, Humanização, Unidade de Terapia Intensiva. Humanized nursing care to the patient in ICUAbstract: Today, the humanization is point to agenda in national and international meetings in the field of health.

Introdução: A Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) oferece vigilância contínua e rigorosa para pacientes com maior grau de complexidade através de profissionais e tecnologias avançadas.Cerca de 20 a 30% dos pacientes internados nas UTI evoluem com Lesão Renal Aguda (LRA), considerando outros fatores de riscos como idade, sexo, comorbidades, sepse e uso de medicamentos nefrotóxicos. É papel da Enfermagem junto à equipe multiprofissional o monitoramento da função renal, bem como a prevenção e/ou detecção precoce de LRA a fim de reduzir a mortalidade na unidade intensiva associada à LRA. Objetivo: Monitorar a função renal de pacientes internados em UTI, submetidos à terapia antimicrobiana. Material e Método: Trata-se de um estudo de campo, prospectivo, descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa. A pesquisa foi realizada em quatro UTI de um Hospital de Ensino do município de São Paulo, num total de 42 leitos. A amostra foi composta por indivíduos maiores de 18 anos, em uso de antimicrobianos, clínicos ou cirúrgicos. Foram excluídos da pesquisa indivíduos com lesão renal prévia. A pesquisa atendeu a Resolução 466/2012 sob nº CAAE 03704918.9.0000.5479. Utilizou-se uma Ficha de coleta de dados sociodemográfico e clínica, com informações registradas em prontuário. Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 29 pacientes, monitorados por 30 dias consecutivos. As variáveis analisadas foram sexo, idade, comorbidades pessoais e familiares, uso de medicações prévias, diagnóstico clínico, uso de antimicrobianos e suas classes, que foram correlacionados com os valores de Creatinina e Ureia do dia de admissão, 3º, 7º e 10º dia de Internação na UTI, sendo o aumento da Creatinina sérica o principal critério KDIGO para diagnóstico de LRA. Os testes estatísticos (Friedman e Wilcoxon) identificaram que houve aumento relevante estatisticamente nos valores séricos de Uréia, do dia de admissão para o 7º dia de internação hospitalar, com um p=0,038 e 0,046. Conclusão: destaca-se a importância de monitorar a função renal dos pacientes em uso de antimicrobianos, associando ao perfil clínico, identificando de forma precoce a disfunção renal, minimizando complicações e favorecendo melhores desfechos.Palavras chave: Antibacterianos, Unidades de Terapia Intensiva, Nefrologia, EnfermagemABSTRACTIntroduction: The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) offers continuous and rigorous surveillance for patients with a higher degree of complexity through professionals and advanced technologies. About 20 to 30% of the patients in the ICU evolve with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), considering other risk factors such as age, gender, comorbidities, sepsis and use of nephrotoxic drugs. The role of Nursing together with the multiprofessional team is the monitoring of renal function, as well as the prevention and/or early detection of AKI in order to reduce mortality in the intensive care unit associated with AKI. Objective: To monitor the renal function of patients admitted to the ICU, submitted to antimicrobial therapy. Method: This is a prospective, descriptive field study with a quantitative approach. The research was carried out in four ICUs of a teaching hospital in the city of São Paulo, in a total of 42 beds. The sample was composed by individuals older than 18 years, in use of antimicrobials, clinical or surgical. Individuals with previous renal injury were excluded from the survey. The survey complied with Resolution 466/2012 under CAAE 03704918.9.0000.5479. A sociodemographic and clinical data collection form was used, with information recorded in medical records. Results: The sample consisted of 29 patients, monitored for 30 consecutive days. The variables analyzed were gender, age, personal and family comorbidities, use of previous medications, clinical diagnosis, use of antimicrobials and their classes, which were correlated with the values of Creatinine and Urea on the day of admission, 3rd, 7th and 10th day of ICU stay, being the increase of serum Creatinine the main KDIGO criterion for diagnosis of AKI. Statistical tests (Friedman and Wilcoxon) identified that there was a statistically relevant increase in serum values of Urea, from the day of admission to the 7th day of hospital stay, with a p=0.038 and 0.046. Conclusion: the importance of monitoring the renal function of patients using antimicrobials is highlighted, associating the clinical profile, identifying early renal dysfunction, minimizing complications and favoring better outcomes.Keywords: Anti-bacterial agents, Intensive care units, Nephrology, Nursing

This study was the first conducted in Brazil to evaluate the presence of Enterobacter sakazakii in milk-based powdered infant formula manufactured for infants 0 to 6 months of age and to examine the conditions of formula preparation and service in three hospitals in São Paulo State, Brazil. Samples of dried and rehydrated infant formula, environments of milk kitchens, water, bottles and nipples, utensils, and hands of personnel were analyzed, and E. sakazakii and Enterobacteriaceae populations were determined. All samples of powdered infant formula purchased at retail contained E. sakazakii at <0.03 most probable number (MPN)/100 g. In hospital samples, E. sakazakii was found in one unopened formula can (0.3 MPN/100 g) and in the residue from one nursing bottle from hospital A. All other cans of formula from the same lot bought at a retail store contained E. sakazakii at <0.03 MPN/100 g. The pathogen also was found in one cleaning sponge from hospital B. Enterobacteriaceae populations ranged from 101 to 105 CFU/g in cleaning aids and <5 CFU/g in all formula types (dry or rehydrated), except for the sample that contained E. sakazakii, which also was contaminated with Enterobacteriaceae at 5 CFU/g. E. sakazakii isolates were not genetically related. In an experiment in which rehydrated formula was used as the growth medium, the temperature was that of the neonatal intensive care unit (25°C), and the incubation time was the average time that formula is left at room temperature while feeding the babies (up to 4 h), a 2-log increase in levels of E. sakazakii was found in the formula. Visual inspection of the facilities revealed that the hygienic conditions in the milk kitchens needed improvement. The length of time that formula is left at room temperature in the different hospitals while the babies in the neonatal intensive care unit are being fed (up to 4 h) may allow for the multiplication of E. sakazakii and thus may lead to an increased health risk for infants.

The objective of this quantitative, correlational and descriptive study was to analyze the time the nursing staff spends to assist patients in Adult Intensive Care Units, as well as to verify its correlation with quality care indicators. The average length of time spent on care and the quality care indicators were identified by consulting management instruments the nursing head of the Unit employs. The average hours of nursing care delivered to patients remained stable, but lower than official Brazilian agencies' indications. The correlation between time of nursing care and the incidence of accidental extubation indicator indicated that it decreases with increasing nursing care delivered by nurses. The results of this investigation showed the influence of nursing care time, provided by nurses, in the outcome of care delivery.

Introduction Multicenter studies involving patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with the disease caused by the new coronavirus (COVID-19) and treated with renal replacement therapy (RRT) in developing countries are scarce. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the demographic profile, clinical picture, risk factors for mortality, and outcomes of critically ill patients with AKI requiring dialysis (AKI-RRT) and with COVID-19 in the megalopolis of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods This multicenter, retrospective, observational study was conducted in the intensive care units of 13 public and private hospitals in the metropolitan region of the municipality of São Paulo. Patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit, aged ≥ 18 years, and treated with RRT due to COVID-19-associated AKI were included. Results The study group consisted of 375 patients (age 64.1 years, 68.8% male). Most (62.1%) had two or more comorbidities: 68.8%, arterial hypertension; 45.3%, diabetes; 36.3%, anemia; 30.9%, obesity; 18.7%, chronic kidney disease; 15.7%, coronary artery disease; 10.4%, heart failure; and 8.5%, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Death occurred in 72.5% of the study population (272 patients). Among the 103 survivors, 22.3% (23 patients) were discharged on RRT. In a multiple regression analysis, the independent factors associated with death were the number of organ dysfunctions at admission and RRT efficiency. Conclusion AKI-RRT associated with COVID-19 occurred in patients with an elevated burden of comorbidities and was associated with high mortality (72.5%). The number of organ dysfunctions during hospitalization and RRT efficiency were independent factors associated with mortality. A meaningful portion of survivors was discharged while dependent on RRT (22.3%).

Nursing staff and leadership in a resource-intensive NICU identified an innovative process for covering the unit's scheduling needs. Early concerns about the feasibility of achieving self-scheduling with a large staff were unwarranted. The use of a unit-based committee and the support of the nurse manager allowed us to develop a process that met the needs of the staff members and maintained the staffing standards of the unit. Contributing to the success of the self-scheduling is a mechanism for recognizing and rewarding staff members who adjust their work schedules to meet the needs of the unit. Satisfaction among staff members with self-scheduling is high, and new employees cite the opportunity for self-scheduling as a contributing factor in their decisions to work in the NICU.

The technical and physical care of the critically ill patient has been perfected, but the psychological aspects of intensive nursing care have to a greater or lesser extent been neglected. The objective of this article is to highlight the causes of psychological problems in an intensive care unit, how to recognise these problems and above all how to prevent or correct them.
