Crescimento de lactentes atendidos na consulta de enfermagem em puericultura
Estudo que objetivoudescrever o crescimento durante a introdução da alimentação complementar em lactentes atendidos na consulta de Enfermagem em puericultura. Estudo descritivo, transversal, quantitativo, desenvolvido por meio de pesquisa em 51 prontuáriosde crianças de quatro a oito meses, no período de setembro a outubro de 2012, numhospital universitário localizado na cidade do Recife, PE. Os dados foram analisados no Epi Info versão 6.04 e descritos em frequência simples e relativa. Verificou-se que 33% das crianças introduziram a alimentação complementar aos seis meses. Dessas, 88,2%, 69,2% e 57,1% apresentou as curvas de peso poridade ascendentes e 88,2%, 66,7% e 71,4% comprimento poridade ascendentes aos seis, sete e oito meses, respectivamente.Crianças com introdução correta da alimentação complementar apresentaram curvas de crescimento ascendentes e estado nutricional adequado
Rationale, study design, and analysis plan of the Alveolar Recruitment for ARDS Trial (ART): Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high in-hospital mortality. Alveolar recruitment followed by ventilation at optimal titrated PEEP may reduce ventilator-induced lung injury and improve oxygenation in patients with ARDS, but the effects on mortality and other clinical outcomes remain unknown. This article reports the rationale, study design, and analysis plan of the Alveolar Recruitment for ARDS Trial (ART). Methods/Design: ART is a pragmatic, multicenter, randomized (concealed), controlled trial, which aims to determine if maximum stepwise alveolar recruitment associated with PEEP titration is able to increase 28-day survival in patients with ARDS compared to conventional treatment (ARDSNet strategy). We will enroll adult patients with ARDS of less than 72 h duration. The intervention group will receive an alveolar recruitment maneuver, with stepwise increases of PEEP achieving 45 cmH(2)O and peak pressure of 60 cmH2O, followed by ventilation with optimal PEEP titrated according to the static compliance of the respiratory system. In the control group, mechanical ventilation will follow a conventional protocol (ARDSNet). In both groups, we will use controlled volume mode with low tidal volumes (4 to 6 mL/kg of predicted body weight) and targeting plateau pressure <= 30 cmH2O. The primary outcome is 28-day survival, and the secondary outcomes are: length of ICU stay; length of hospital stay; pneumothorax requiring chest tube during first 7 days; barotrauma during first 7 days; mechanical ventilation-free days from days 1 to 28; ICU, in-hospital, and 6-month survival. ART is an event-guided trial planned to last until 520 events (deaths within 28 days) are observed. These events allow detection of a hazard ratio of 0.75, with 90% power and two-tailed type I error of 5%. All analysis will follow the intention-to-treat principle. Discussion: If the ART strategy with maximum recruitment and PEEP titration improves 28-day survival, this will represent a notable advance to the care of ARDS patients. Conversely, if the ART strategy is similar or inferior to the current evidence-based strategy (ARDSNet), this should also change current practice as many institutions routinely employ recruitment maneuvers and set PEEP levels according to some titration method.Hospital do Coracao (HCor) as part of the Program 'Hospitais de Excelencia a Servico do SUS (PROADI-SUS)'Brazilian Ministry of Healt

Growth of infants assisted in nursing appointments in childcare
This study aimed to describe the growth during the introduction of complementary feeding to infants assisted in the nursing appointment in childcare. It is a descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study developed through research in 51 medical records of children aged 4-8 months, from September to October 2012 in a university hospital in the city of Recife, PE. Data were analyzed using Epi Info software, version 6.04 and described in simple and relative frequencies. It was found that for 33% of the children. complementary foods were introduced at six months. Of these, 88.2%, 69.2% and 57.1% showed ascending weight-for-age growth curves, and 88.2%, 66.7% and 71.4% ascending length-for-age growth curves at six, seven and eight months respectively. Children with appropriate and timely introduction of complementary feeding showed upward growth curves and adequate nutritional status
