Benefícios da inserção do fisioterapeuta sobre o perfil de prematuros de baixo risco internados em unidade de terapia intensiva

O presente estudo visa descrever os benefícios da inserção do fisioterapeuta sobre o perfil de prematuros de baixo risco internados em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal. Estudo caso-controle, retrospectivo, com consulta aos prontuários de prematuros internados em 2006/2007 sem fisioterapia (PREF) e em 2009/2010 com fisioterapia por até 8h/dia (POSF). Incluíramse 61 prematuros no período PREF e 93 no POSF, nascidos com ≥1000g, SNAP-PE II <40, com tempo de suporte ventilatório ≥24h. Verificou-se os perfis materno e dos neonatos, tempos de internação, de ventilação mecânica invasiva e não invasiva e de oxigenoterapia. Realizou-se análise descritiva, teste Mann Whitney, teste t, qui-quadrado e Fisher, considerando-se p≤0,05. Houve diferença significativa entre as idades gestacionais [PREF: 230,5 (±16,5)/ POSF: 226 (±15); p=0,05], frequência de sepse [PREF: 6 (10%)/ POSF: 30 (32%); p<0,01], de síndrome do desconforto respiratório [PREF: 11(18%)/ POSF: 43 (46%); p<0,01], necessidade de reanimação na sala de parto [PREF: 10 (16%)/ POSF: 32 (34%); p=0,02], necessidade de intubação orotraqueal [PREF: 8 (13%)/ POSF: 26 (28%); p=0,05], tempo de ventilação não invasiva (PREF: 0,1±0,4 dias/ POSF: 0,8±2,3 dias; p<0,01), de ventilação invasiva (PREF: 0,4±1,3 dias/ POSF: 1,3±3,3 dias; p=0,04), de pressão positiva contínua em vias aéreas (PREF: 1,5±1,0 dias/ POSF: 2,7±3,8 dias; p=0,04). A presença do fisioterapeuta gerou benefícios, contribuindo para a manutenção dos tempos de internação e de oxigenoterapia mesmo diante de um perfil de recém-nascidos mais imaturos e com mais intercorrências no período após a inserção da fisioterapia.El presente estudio describe los beneficios de la inserción del fisioterapeuta sobre el perfil de prematuros de bajo riesgo internados en unidad de terapia intensiva. Estudio caso-control, retrospectivo, con prontuarios de prematuros internados en 2006/2007 (sin fisioterapia - PREF) y en 2009/2010 (con fisioterapia por hasta 8h / día - POSF). Se incluyeron 61 prematuros (PREF) y 93 (POSF), ≥ 1000g, SNAP-PE II <40, con tiempo de soporte ventilatorio ≥ 24h. Se verificaron los perfiles maternos y de los neonatos, tiempos de internación, de ventilación mecánica invasiva y no invasiva y de oxigenoterapia. Se realizó análisis descriptivo, Mann Whitney, t, qui-cuadrado y Fisher, considerando p ≤ 0,05. Se observó diferencia entre las edades gestacionales [PREF: 230,5 (± 16,5) / POSF: 226 (±15); p=0,05], frecuencia de sepsis [PREF: 6 (10%) / POSTP: 30 (32%); p < 0,01], síndrome de distrés respiratorio [PREF: 11 (18%) / POSF: 43 (46%); p <0,01], necesidad de reanimación en la sala de parto [PREF: 10 (16%) / POSTP: 32 (34%); p=0,02], necesidad de intubación [PREF: 8 (13%) / POSF: 26 (28%); (p=0,05), tiempo de ventilación no invasiva (PREF: 0,1±0,4 días / POSF: 0,8±2,3 días, p<0,01), ventilación invasiva (PREF: 0, 4±1,3 días / POSF: 1,3±3,3 días, p=0,04). La presencia del fisioterapeuta generó beneficios, contribuyendo para el mantenimiento de los tiempos de internación y de oxigenoterapia, aunque el perfil de recién nacidos tuvo más intercurrencias después de la inserción de la fisioterapia.This study aims to describe the benefits of inserting the physical therapist on the profile of lowrisk premature infants in neonatal intensive care units. This is a retrospective control study, with consultation to the medical records of premature infants admitted in 2006/2007 without physical therapy (PREP) and in 2009/2010 with physical therapy for up to 8h/day (POSTP). 61 preterm infants in the PREP period and 93 in the POSTP were included, born with ≥1000g, SNAP-PE II <40, with a duration of ventilatory support ≥24h. Maternal and neonatal profiles, duration of hospitalization, invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation and oxygen therapy were verified. Descriptive analysis, the Mann Whitney test, t-test, Chi-squared and Fisher’s test were performed, considering p≤0.05. There was a significant difference between gestational ages [PREP: 230.5 (±16.5)/ POSTP: 226 (±15); p = 0.05], frequency of sepsis [PREP: 6 (10%) / POSTP: 30 (32%); p < 0.01], respiratory distress syndrome [PREP: 11 (18%)/POSTP: 43 (46%); p < 0.01], need for resuscitation in the delivery room [PREP: 10 (16%) / POSTP: 32 (34%); p = 0.02], need for orotracheal intubation [PREP: 8 (13%)/POSTP: 26 (28%); invasive ventilation (PREP: 0.4±1.3 days/POSTP: 1.3±3.3 days, p = 0.04), continuous positive airway pressure (PREP: 1.5±1.0 days/POSTP: 2.7±3.8 days, p = 0.04). The presence of the physical therapist generated benefits, contributing to the maintenance of the length of hospitalization and oxygen therapy in face of a profile of more immature newborns and with more complications in the period after physical therapy was inserted

Demographic mapping and characterization of physical therapy care profile offered in Neonatal Intensive Care Units in the City of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Este estudio visa el mapeo y la caracterización del perfil de la asistencia fisioterapéutica ofrecida en unidades de cuidados intensivos (UCI) neonatales de los hospitales públicos y privados de Río de Janeiro (RJ), Brasil. Para eso, fueron realizadas entrevistas con los jefes a respecto de las rutinas de los servicios de fisioterapia de los hospitales de Río de Janeiro con UCI neonatales entre enero de 2013 y enero de 2015. Las preguntas abordaron a respecto de distribición de las horas de trabajo, organización y localización institucional, tiempo de experiencia en la área, tipos de técnicas fisioterapéuticas y recursos utilizados. Fueron incluidos 27 hospitales (17 públicos y 10 privados) de la seguiente forma: 6 hospitales en Zona Sul, 8 en Zona Norte, 8 en Zona Oeste y 5 en Centro y Zona Portuaria. El número total de fisioterapeutas integrantes de los equipos fue de 141, siendo que 59% de ellos eron expertos en cuidados intensivos neonatales. En lo que se refiere a los jefes entrevistados, 16 (59%) también eron expertos y 21 (79%) poseían más de cinco años de experiencia. Fueron citadas diversas técnicas fisioterapéuticas, como: fisioterapia motora, vibración torácica y reequilibrio tóraco-abdominal. A partir del exposto, se verificó que la asistencia fisioterapéutica neonatal de Río de Janeiro não está distribuída uniformemente en el territorio, estando más concentrada en las regiones Sul y Central. Además, falta padronización de las rutinas y carga horaria, siendo necesaria adecuación del perfil asistencial para atención ideal y integral del neonato.Este estudo visa ao mapeamento e a caracterização do perfil da assistência fisioterapêutica oferecida em unidades de terapia intensiva (UTI) neonatais dos hospitais públicos e privados do Rio de Janeiro (RJ).

To this end, a cross-sectional study was conducted by interviews with the heads/routine chiefs of physical therapy services of the hospitals in the city of Rio de Janeiro with neonatal ICU (NICU) from January 2013 to January 2015. The questions comprised the distribution of working hours, organization and institutional location, time of experience in the area, types of physical therapy techniques and resources used. Twenty seven hospitals (17 public and 10 private) were studied as follows: 6 hospitals in the South area of the city, 8 in the North, 8 in the West and 5 in the central area and port area. The total number of physical therapists of the teams was 141, and 59% of them were experts in neonatal intensive care. With regard to the heads/routine chiefs, 16 (59%) were specialists in neonatal intensive care and 21 (79%) had more than five years of experience. Various physical therapy techniques were cited as: motor physical therapy, chest vibration and thoracic-abdominal rebalance. According to the results, there was not a single standard regarding routines, protocols, professional organization and training, and techniques used. In addition, it was found that the physical therapy in ICUs was not held full-time, neither provided the three shifts care

DESCRIÇÃO DO DESENVOLVIMENTO PSICOMOTOR EM LACTENTES COM ESTRABISMO: RELATO DE CASO

Introduction: Infant development is a combination of neuromotor, sensory and environmental conditions. The initial signs of psychomotor delay are nonspecific, and impairment in any of the sensory inputs can be expressed by atypical motor development. Vision is one of the main sensory inputs for sensory motor learning, and strabismus and ambioplasia stand out among the visual impairments associated with delay. The aims this study was to describe the initial psychomotor development of 4 full-term infants, with congenital strabismus. Case description: Four squint boys (4-18 months) were evaluated using the Denver II Test and Alberta Children's Motor Scale at three different times, with intervals of 86 ± 34 days between evaluations. All children showed delayed psychomotor development in at least two tests performed. Discussion: Children with congenital strabismus, without a diagnosis of neuromotor abnormalities, showed changes in development. Unfavorable developmental results in strabismus can result from the poor development of binocular vision that impairs spatial and depth perceptions, and can interfere with motor results. Performing instrumented developmental assessments in strabic infants can be an important tool in this monitoring, in order to favor the intervention and minimize future repercussions for the child.Introdução: O desenvolvimento do lactente, é uma combinação de suas condições neuromotoras,sensoriais e ambientais. Os sinais iniciais do atraso psicomotor são inespecíficos, e um prejuízo em quaisquer das entradas sensoriais pode ser expresso por um desenvolvimento motor atípico.  A visão, é um dos principais inputs sensoriais para o aprendizado sensório motor, e o estrabismo e a ambioplia se destacam entre os prejuízos visuais associados ao atraso.O trabalho objetiva descrever o desenvolvimento psicomotor inicial de 4 lactentes a termo, com estrabismo congênito. Descrição dos casos: Quatro meninos estrábicos, (4-18 meses), foram avaliados através do Teste Denver II e Escala Motora Infantil de Alberta em três momentos diferentes, com intervalos de 86 ± 34 dias entre as avaliações. Todas as crianças apresentaram desenvolvimento psicomotor atrasado em pelo menos dois exames realizados. Discussão:Crianças com estrabismo congênito, sem diagnostico de anormalidades neuromotoras, apresentaram alterações no desenvolvimento.Resultados desfavoráveis no desenvolvimento em estrábicos podem decorrer do mal desenvolvimento da visão binocular que prejudica as percepções espaciais e de profundidade, e pode interferir nos resultados motores. A realização de avaliações do desenvolvimento instrumentadas em lactentes estrábicos pode ser uma ferramenta importante nesse acompanhamento, a fim de favorecer a intervenção e minimizar repercussões futuras a criança

Importance of physiotherapy/nursing multidisciplinary integration about update newborn position in the neonatal intensive care unit

Introduction: The high-risk newborns may require long periods of hospitalization until they reach clinical stability for hospital discharge. Avoiding babies to be in only one body position may be an effective way to cause respiratory and neuro-psycho-motor benefits, comfort and preventing pressure ulcers. Objectives: This study investigated the impact of physiotherapy/nursing integration in update on body positioning of the newborn in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Methods: A questionnaire was administered to nurses and nursing technicians of the neonatal unit of Maternity School of UFRJ and nurses of the Advanced Course in Neonatal Nursing from the same institution. Two classes were taught by the physical therapist of the sector and the questions answered before and after these lessons. It was also a brief characterization of professional participants of the study. We used the Student´s t test to compare the correct answers before (PRE) and after (POST) the classes, considering p elt; 0.05. Results: There was a significant increase in the degree of knowledge of nurses and nursing technicians when compared the responses before (nurses: 68.8%; technicians: 70.1%) and after classes (nurses: 78.4 %; technicians: 88.9%). The nurses were less than five years of graduated (45%) and little time of professional experience in neonatology (60%). Forty-seven percent of technicians had less than five years of training and 82% had less than 10 years of experience. Conclusion: The use of training by the nursing staff was significant, showing the importance of multidisciplinary approach and the integration of knowledge in the search for a humanized and effective care
