Safety Issues

Critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) have a high risk of developing malnutrition, and this is associated with poorer clinical outcomes. In clinical practice, nutrition, including enteral nutrition (EN), is often not prioritized. Resulting from this, risks and safety issues for patients and healthcare professionals can emerge. The aim of this literature review, inspired by the Rapid Review Guidebook by Dobbins, 2017, was to identify risks and safety issues for patient safety in the management of EN in critically ill patients in the ICU. Three databases were used to identify studies between 2009 and 2020. We assessed 3495 studies for eligibility and included 62 in our narrative synthesis. Several risks and problems were identified: No use of clinical assessment or screening nutrition assessment, inadequate tube management, missing energy target, missing a nutritionist, bad hygiene and handling, wrong time management and speed, nutritional interruptions, wrong body position, gastrointestinal complication and infections, missing or not using guidelines, understaffing, and lack of education. Raising awareness of these risks is a central aspect in patient safety in ICU. Clinical experts can use a checklist with 12 identified top risks and the recommendations drawn up to carry out their own risk analysis in clinical practice.

Review Of The Literature

The article provides a review of the literature on the assessment of the efficacy, safety and indications for the use of povidone iodine in modern clinical practice. The preservation of good sensitivity to the drug, despite its long-term use, as well as new opportunities associated with the effectiveness against biofilm forms of pathogens and viruses, in particular SARS-CoV-2, has been shown.

Implant Abutments

Background: The review presents the scientific state of the art in the field of cementation of crowns on implants. Because semipermanent cements have been specially developed for the cementation of crowns on implants, the question arises whether this cement group offers an advantage compared to other available and widely used cements in everyday clinical practice. Various factors play a role on the retentive strength of superstructures on implants and should therefore be taken into account in this review.

RESUMOO uso de soluções anestésicas é realizada quase que diariamente pelos profissionais de odontologia. Entretanto, os anestésicos locais disponíveis no mercado apresentam-se sob a forma de soluções com composições e concentrações variadas, tanto com relação ao sal anestésico, vasoconstritor e seu preservativo. Talvez, pela grande variedade de associações, possa surgir diversas dúvidas quanto à melhor escolha durante a prática clínica diária, principalmente quando o mesmo apresenta algum tipo de doença sistêmica. Com isso, o objetivo desse trabalho é realizar uma revisão de literatura das melhores indicações e possíveis contraindicações de soluções  anestésicas locais disponíveis no mercado nacional, relacionando com doenças sistêmicas que comumente são atendidas na clínica odontológica.Palavras – Chave: Odontologia; Anestésico local; Cirurgia oral. ABSTRACT The use of anesthetic solutions is performed almost daily by dental professionals. However, the local anesthetics available on the market come in the form of solutions with varying compositions and concentrations, both with respect to the anesthetic salt, vasoconstrictor and its preservative. Perhaps, due to the wide variety of associations, several doubts may arise regarding the best choice during daily clinical practice, especially when it presents some type of systemic disease. Thus, the objective of this work is to carry out a literature review of the best indications and possible contraindications for local anesthetic solutions available in the national market, relating to systemic diseases that are commonly seen in the dental clinic. Key words: Dentistry; Local anesthetic; Oral surgery.
