Postoperative plasma syndecan-1 is associated with subsequent severe acute kidney injury and poor outcomes among children undergoing cardiac surgery. It may be useful to identify patients who are at increased risk for acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery.
Objetiva-se descrever as perspectivas maternas e sentimentos despertados pelo transplante cardíaco infantil. Estudo descritivo com abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvido no Hospital do Coração, de Messejana, em Fortaleza-CE, no período de agosto a novembro de 2007. Os sujeitos foram sete mães de crianças transplantadas. Utilizaram-se como técnicas a entrevista semiestruturada e a análise dos prontuários. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo, em três etapas, segundo Bardin, organizados, analisados e interpretados à luz da literatura pertinente, vivência das pesquisadoras e experiência das entrevistadas. Da análise das falas, emergiram as unidades temáticas: necessidade do transplante; fonte de apoio; sentimentos externados pelas mães; a doação e perspectivas. Conclui-se que a doação é um momento de felicidade vivenciada por todas as mães, tratando-se da solução para vida de seus filhos, e a presença autêntica do enfermeiro nesta ocasião torna-se ainda mais essencial, pois humanizar faz parte do cuidar da enfermagem.
The perspective of the integrated health system has a network of care with multiple integration dimensions among subsystems as nuclear representation, relating the clinical aspects and governance to the representations and collective values. The normative integration aims to ensure coherence between the system of representations and values of society simultaneously with the interfaces of clinical and functional integration. It builds a bridge with governance, which allows, through their skills, management of all system components, encouraging cooperation, communication and information, in order to ensure the population under their responsibility to access excellence services, exceeding their expectations. The integration of care consists of a durable coordination of clinical practices for those who suffer from health problems in order to ensure continuity and full range of the required professional services and organizations, coordinated in time and space, in accordance with the available knowledge. It is possible to establish the type of health equipment for each level of care for patients with congenital heart diseases. This strategy intends to offer timely care in appropriate moments and places, efficiently, operating cooperatively an interdependently, with ongoing exchange of its resources. Thus, situational integration establishes the system connection with the assessment environment that proposes to carry out value judgment, guided by an objective worldview, about an intervention or any of its components, in order to objectify the decision making.
Objective: to evaluate the occurrence of polypharmacy and its association with the adherence to the pharmacological treatment in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. Methods: cross-sectional study conducted with 235 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 through interview about the demographic and clinical data, drug therapy prescribed and adherence to treatment. To analyze the data, we used Student t-tests and Chi-square, with significance level p<0.05. Results: polypharmacy was evidenced in 88.4% of cases with a predominance of moderate level. An average of 7.5 pills per person among the 19 types of prescribed drugs were used. Adherence to prescribed therapy was reported by 88.2% of patients evaluated and there was no association with polypharmacy (p=0.266). Conclusion: it was verified that polypharmacy is a condition of high prevalence and is not associated with worse adherence to therapy.Objetivo: avaliar a ocorrência da polifarmácia e sua associação com a adesão ao tratatamento farmacológico em pacientes com diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Métodos: estudo transversal realizado com 235 portadores de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 por meio de entrevista sobre os dados sociodemográficos e clínicos, a terapêutica medicamentosa prescrita e a adesão ao tratamento. Para análise dos dados foram utilizados os testes t de Student e quiquadrado, com nível de significância p<0,05. Resultados: a polifarmácia foi evidenciada em 88,4% dos casos com predomínio da moderada. Foram utilizados, em média, 7,5 comprimidos por pessoa dentre os 19 tipos de fármacos prescritos. A adesão à terapêutica prescrita foi relatada por 88,2% dos pacientes avaliados e não houve associação com a polifarmácia (p=0,266). Conclusão: foi verificado que a polifarmácia é uma condição de elevada prevalência e não está associada a pior adesão à terapêutica.
