Resumo OBJETIVO Descrever a implantação de um fluxograma de transferência do cuidado de pacientes em pós-operatório, a partir de um modelo de classificação de risco. MÉTODO Relato de experiência sobre a implantação de projeto piloto entre sala de recuperação pós-anestésica e unidade de internação cirúrgica, desenvolvido entre dezembro/2016 e março/2017, visando a transferências do cuidado de pacientes com baixo risco de mortalidade pós-operatória, em um hospital universitário do Sul do Brasil. RESULTADOS O projeto possibilitou agilizar a alta do paciente da Sala de Recuperação Pós-Anestésica para a unidade de internação cirúrgica, qualificar os registros quanto aos cuidados de enfermagem e otimizar o tempo dos enfermeiros, em ambas unidades, para as atividades assistenciais. CONCLUSÃO A implementação de um fluxograma de transferência do cuidado a partir da classificação de risco para pacientes em pós-operatório contribuiu para uma comunicação mais efetiva, culminando em melhorias na segurança do paciente.
Summary Mortality and morbidity for high‐risk surgical patients are often high, especially in low‐resource settings. Enhanced peri‐operative care has the potential to reduce preventable deaths but must be designed to meet local needs. This before‐and‐after cohort study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a postoperative 48‐hour enhanced care pathway for high‐risk surgical patients (‘high‐risk surgical bundle’) who did not meet the criteria for elective admission to intensive care. The pathway comprised of six elements: risk identification and communication; adoption of a high‐risk post‐anaesthesia care unit discharge checklist; prompt nursing admission to ward; intensification of vital signs monitoring; troponin measurement; and prompt access to medical support if required. The primary outcome was in‐hospital mortality. Data describing 1189 patients from two groups, before and after implementation of the pathway, were compared. The usual care group comprised a retrospective cohort of high‐risk surgical patients between September 2015 and December 2016. The intervention group prospectively included high‐risk surgical patients from February 2019 to March 2020. Unadjusted mortality rate was 10.5% (78/746) for the usual care and 6.3% (28/443) for the intervention group. After adjustment, the intervention effect remained significant (RR 0.46 (95%CI 0.30–0.72). The high‐risk surgical bundle group received more rapid response team calls (24% vs. 12.6%; RR 0.63 [95%CI 0.49–0.80]) and surgical re‐interventions (18.9 vs. 7.5%; RR 0.41 [95%CI 0.30–0.59]). These data suggest that a clinical pathway based on enhanced surveillance for high‐risk surgical patients in a resource‐constrained setting could reduce in‐hospital mortality.
Objetivo: Descrever como foram implementados e adaptados os leitos de recuperação semi-intensiva, dentro de um Centro Cirúrgico, durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Relato de experiência: Estudo descritivo, realizado em maio de 2021, que relata a experiência de enfermeiras atuantes em um Centro Cirúrgico de um hospital público universitário de grande porte, localizado no Sul do Brasil, sobre as adaptações que ocorreram durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Uma sala cirúrgica foi transformada em leitos de unidade de terapia semi-intensiva, auxiliando na recuperação de pacientes cirúrgicos. Diante da avassaladora pandemia, o hospital teve que enfrentar a ausência de recursos disponíveis, estruturando áreas e capacitando funcionários de forma súbita. Considerações finais: Com o agravamento da pandemia, os hospitais são obrigados a tomar medidas drásticas para atender o maior número de pessoas vítimas da COVID-19. Com os leitos de UTI lotados, muitos hospitais vislumbraram o Centro Cirúrgico como sendo um local onde este cuidado complexo pode ser realizado, utilizando a estrutura e os equipamentos desses locais.
Objective: To report the process of organization and construction of an information technology structure named Nursing Activities Score (NAS) Cloud Technology®. Method: This project was based on the life cycle theory and has enabled the development of technological production through software engineering. Results: The NAS Cloud Technology® was developed for remote and collaborative access on a website hosted by Google Sites® and protected in a business environment by the certified security and data protection devices Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA). In 2015, this system received more than 10.000 submissions/month, totaling 12 care units for critical patients covered by the information technology structure, circa 200 nurses per day involved in the collection and hundreds of daily submissions, integrating the complete transition from paper to cloud. Conclusion: The development of NAS Cloud Technology® system has enabled the use of technology as a facilitating means for the use of Nursing care data, providing tools for decision-making on the nursing personnel sizing required for the care demands in the inpatient care units. The potential of cloud structures stands out due to their possibility of innovation, as well as low-cost access and high replicability of the information system.
