Introdução: O pé diabético configura uma das principais complicações do diabetes mellitus (DM). Esse termo é utilizado para caracterizar a presença de lesões na região dos pés ocasionadas pela neuropatia periférica, doença vascular periférica e deformidades. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e observacional, do tipo estudo de caso. Realizado em um Hospital de Timon-MA, desenvolvido na disciplina de Estágio Curricular Supervisionado II, por acadêmicos de enfermagem, no período entre agosto e dezembro de 2018. Relato da Experiência: A prática de estágio em enfermagem requer um olhar sensível dos discentes e profissionais que os acompanham. Realizar o máximo de cuidados possíveis, contribui para que o aluno saia do estágio com experiências da realidade do cotidiano da profissão. Com esse pensamento, os autores aproveitaram a prática assistida para atender a um paciente do sexo masculino, com 63 anos, com diagnóstico de Diabetes Mellitus(DM) há 3 anos. O mesmo havia sido admitido proveniente de outro hospital da região para tratamento do pé diabético, lesão em Membro Inferior Direito(MID) com curativo oclusivo limpo e seco. Considerações finais: A atuação de Enfermagem descritas neste relato de experiência, não se restringem apenas ao paciente citado, mas, à todos os pacientes com pé diabético que necessitam de atendimento para tratamento da doença e suas complicações, e precisam de um acompanhamento individualizado e de qualidade.
Background: Among the techniques used in clinical practice to reduce localized adiposity, cryolipolysis has been highlighted, which is a non-invasive method capable of reducing the thickness of the adipose tissue without damage to the surrounding tissues. However, several associations of techniques suggest an intensification of the results, associating cryolipolysis with other treatments, and the most common is ultracavitation (UCV) or radiofrequency (RF) and massage. Objective: To investigate the effects of cryolipolysis associated with UCV and RF on localized adiposity. Methods: This is a blinded and controlled clinical trial. The sample was composed of 30 females divided into 2 groups of 15: one group received cryolipolysis application in the abdominal region, and performed 1 session of drainage weekly; while another group performed the cryolipolysis and then 8 applications of UCV associated with RF and modeling massage (protocol named Advanced Redux Method – ARM), once a week. The parameters used in cryolipolysis were: temperature: -7ºC; suction pressure: 30 kpa; and application time: 50 min. For the UCV, the parameters were time of 8 minutes, 30w of potency and intensity of 10 w/cm2 . After cryolipolysis, a follow-up of 2 months was performed to verify the changes related to weight, perimeter and thickness of the adipose tissue, measured by ultrasonography. The reassessments were performed 30 and 60 days after the cryolipolysis. Results: It was observed that the ARM promoted a greater reduction of adiposity located in the abdominal region, in the plicometry, perimetry and ultrasonography variables (p<0.05). In the analysis of the questionnaires the ARM group showed lower edema, pain, ecchymosis after application when compared to the group associated only with the drainage. The percentage of satisfaction was also higher in the ARM group. Conclusion: Therefore, it can be observed that the association of UCV, RF and modeling massage through the ARM promoted a higher reduction in adiposity than the group that exclusively performed the cryolipolysis treatment with lymphatic drainage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
