Curso de Atenção Psicossocial em Álcool e Outras Drogas: considerações acerca das metodologias ativas no processo de ensino-aprendizagem

Relatam-se aspectos da experiência desenvolvida junto de dois grupos de participantes do Curso de Atenção Psicossocial em Álcool e Outras Drogas, do CRR-UFSJ. Os grupos são compostos por lideranças comunitárias, trabalhadores e agentes de São João del-Rei e região, aos quais foi oferecida instrumentalização e reflexão acerca da temática. Foram adotadas metodologias ativas de ensino-aprendizagem como modo de operacionalizar a proposta da educação permanente, utilizando-se de aulas expositivo-dialogadas, técnicas de grupo, discussões, exibição de vídeos, indicação de leituras e atividades de campo a serem feitas no cenário de práticas. O relato diz respeito ao primeiro módulo do curso, composto por aula inaugural e três encontros com cada grupo, ocorridos de setembro a novembro de 2015. Foram observados relatos de mudanças de concepções e atuação no campo de álcool e outras drogas, bem como esforços de multiplicação, pelos cursistas, da aprendizagem.Palavras-chave: Álcool e outras drogas, Atenção psicossocial, Metodologias ativas de ensino-aprendizagem, Formação profissional

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

A educação permanente em redução de danos: experiência do Curso de Atenção Psicossocial em Álcool e outras Drogas

Relata-se a experiência do Curso de Atenção Psicossocial em Álcool e outras Drogas, ofertado pelo Centro Regional de Referência para Formação em Políticas sobre Drogas da Universidade Federal de São João del-Rei (CRR/UFSJ), com relação aos desafios para formação em Redução de Danos (RD). Foram constituídos grupos com 16 alunos em média, entre profissionais e lideranças comunitárias de 18 municípios da microrregião administrativa de São João del-Rei, MG. Com base nos registros de diários de campo e relatórios do curso, foram elaboradas três unidades de sentido relacionadas ao processo educativo sobre RD: (a) estranhamentos em torno da RD; (b) problematizações, resistências e apropriações da RD; e (c) impactos da RD nas práticas dos cursistas. Observou-se que o Curso favoreceu um primeiro passo para mudança e sensibilização com relação à RD, desafio fundamental para a reforma nas políticas de drogas

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar princípios e estratégias de atuação do nutricionista em consultoria alimentar e nutricional da família. O especialista nesta área, denominado personal dieter, tem por objetivo principal a educação nutricional da família. A atuação do personal dieter é baseada em três princípios fundamentais: envolvimento de todos os membros da família, promoção da alimentação saudável e aperfeiçoamento das técnicas dietéticas usadas no preparo dos alimentos. Para isso, o nutricionista realiza visitas domiciliares para conhecer a realidade da família e propõe mudanças dos hábitos alimentares por etapas. O protocolo de intervenção adaptado a cada realidade inclui, entre outras atividades, elaboração de cardápio e de lista de compra de alimentos, prescrição de dieta individualizada e treinamento de cozinheira. O conhecimento detalhado dos comportamentos, hábitos e práticas relacionados à alimentação da família favorece uma intervenção personalizada. Isto é essencial para a adoção de hábitos alimentares saudáveis e garante maior eficácia do profissional nutricionista no cuidado à nutrição e à saúde da família.<br>The objective of this work is to present the principles and strategies of a dietitian in food and nutrition consultancy for the family. Also known as a personal diet specialist, these dietitians focus mainly on the nutrition education of the family. Their practice is based on three fundamental principles: participation of the whole family, promotion of healthy eating habits and optimization of dietary techniques used in the food preparation. To achieve these goals, the dietitian visits families in their households in order to learn about the family's lifestyle and suggests changes in their food habits one at a time. The intervention strategy is personalized and includes, among other things, designs the menu and drafts a groceries shopping list, prescribes an individualized diet and trains the cook. Detailed knowledge of the family's food habits, behaviors and lifestyle promotes a personalized intervention. This is vital for the acquisition of healthy eating habits and guarantees greater dietitian's effectiveness in the nutrition and health care of the family

Effect of lung recruitment and titrated Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) vs low PEEP on mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome - A randomized clinical trial

IMPORTANCE: The effects of recruitment maneuvers and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration on clinical outcomes in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remain uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To determine if lung recruitment associated with PEEP titration according to the best respiratory-system compliance decreases 28-day mortality of patients with moderate to severe ARDS compared with a conventional low-PEEP strategy. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Multicenter, randomized trial conducted at 120 intensive care units (ICUs) from 9 countries from November 17, 2011, through April 25, 2017, enrolling adults with moderate to severe ARDS. INTERVENTIONS: An experimental strategy with a lung recruitment maneuver and PEEP titration according to the best respiratory-system compliance (n = 501; experimental group) or a control strategy of low PEEP (n = 509). All patients received volume-assist control mode until weaning. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The primary outcome was all-cause mortality until 28 days. Secondary outcomes were length of ICU and hospital stay; ventilator-free days through day 28; pneumothorax requiring drainage within 7 days; barotrauma within 7 days; and ICU, in-hospital, and 6-month mortality. RESULTS: A total of 1010 patients (37.5% female; mean [SD] age, 50.9 [17.4] years) were enrolled and followed up. At 28 days, 277 of 501 patients (55.3%) in the experimental group and 251 of 509 patients (49.3%) in the control group had died (hazard ratio [HR], 1.20; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.42; P = .041). Compared with the control group, the experimental group strategy increased 6-month mortality (65.3% vs 59.9%; HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.38; P = .04), decreased the number of mean ventilator-free days (5.3 vs 6.4; difference, −1.1; 95% CI, −2.1 to −0.1; P = .03), increased the risk of pneumothorax requiring drainage (3.2% vs 1.2%; difference, 2.0%; 95% CI, 0.0% to 4.0%; P = .03), and the risk of barotrauma (5.6% vs 1.6%; difference, 4.0%; 95% CI, 1.5% to 6.5%; P = .001). There were no significant differences in the length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay, ICU mortality, and in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In patients with moderate to severe ARDS, a strategy with lung recruitment and titrated PEEP compared with low PEEP increased 28-day all-cause mortality. These findings do not support the routine use of lung recruitment maneuver and PEEP titration in these patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION: clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01374022
