SUMMARY COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, can present respiratory complications that often lead patients to depend on mechanical ventilation (MV) for several days. It is known that Pneumonia Associated with Mechanical Ventilation (PAMV) is frequent in patients who use this equipment for a long time. As a consequence of COVID-19, its prolonged use can lead to a worse prognosis for the patients. For this reason, in addition to the insufficiency of devices for mechanical ventilation to meet the current demand, it is necessary to adopt measures aimed at preventing complications that may aggravate the patient’s clinical condition and, consequently, increase the average hospital stay and the respective hospital care costs. Therefore, the objective of this study was to discuss, in a concise and practical way, and based on the available literature, the importance of adopting adequate oral hygiene protocols for patients on mechanical ventilation. Based on the data obtained, it was identified that the adoption of effective oral hygiene measures, especially under the supervision of dental professionals, can contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality associated with MV, resulting in greater availability of mechanical ventilation equipment. Since such equipment is in great demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, the knowledge and implementation of effective oral hygiene measures will undoubtedly have an impact on improving the quality of care offered to patients, therefore benefiting all those in critical health conditions and assisted in ICUs.
Este estudo tem por objetivo, reunir e analisar evidências sobre as mudanças do trabalho home office no sistema musculoesquelético durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura que foi conduzida pela Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions e relatada de acordo com a declaração Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, Scopus, Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), Web of Science e Science Direct. A pergunta da pesquisa foi: Quais as repercussões do trabalho teletrabalho na pandemia da COVID-19 no sistema musculoesquelético? Foram encontrados um total de 16 estudos sendo que após análise, foram incluídos neste trabalho cinco estudos. Dentre os estudos analisados, observou-se que as repercussões do trabalho teletrabalho na pandemia da COVID-19 no sistema musculoesquelético suas maiores ocorrências de sintomas musculoesqueléticos foram nas seguintes regiões corporais: dores nas costas, pescoço, ombro e mãos e no sexo feminino. Sugere novos estudos futuros e de melhor nível na qualidade de evidência são necessários para se identificar os resultados e fortalecer as investigações na temática envolvida.
