Efecto de una intervención educativa de enfermería para reducir el dolor en el paciente con revascularización miocárdica durante el posoperatorio ambulatorio / Effect of an educational nursing intervention to reduce pain in patients with myocardial revascularization during the outpatient postoperative period

Introducción: Las necesidades que experimentan los pacientes en el postoperatorio de cirugía cardiaca van desde lo fisiológico hasta la esfera emocional. A nivel fisiológico el dolor es una necesidad insatisfecha, que repercute en otras necesidades como el sueño y la actividad física, el estado de ánimo, la adherencia terapéutica y la calidad de vida. Objetivo: Determinar el efecto de una intervención educativa de Enfermería comparada con el cuidado de enfermería convencional, para reducir el dolor del paciente de cirugía cardiaca en el posoperatorio ambulatorio en una Institución de alta complejidad en Cúcuta durante el II semestre del año 2020 y el I semestre del año 2021. Metodología: Estudio cuantitativo, cuasi experimental, con medición preprueba en el control posoperatorio realizado al tercer día y posprueba, con grupo de comparación, en pacientes con revascularización miocárdica de una institución de alta complejidad en Cúcuta, con muestreo probabilístico, aleatorio simple, con una muestra estimada de 40 pacientes para cada grupo. Para la recolección de la información se utilizó el cuestionario del dolor McGill (índice de valoración del dolor) (Cibersam, 1994) y el Inventario de la Ansiedad Rasgo, IDARE, previo diligenciamiento del consentimiento informado, se realizaron mediciones del dolor al tercer día de posoperatorio ambulatorio, a los 15 y 30 días de entrega de la intervención educativa, para determinar el efecto de la intervención entre grupos e intragrupo frente al cuidado convencional. Resultados: El grupo experimental exhibió una reducción estadísticamente significativa de los niveles del dolor para cada una de las dimensiones y a nivel general luego de la intervención educativa (p< 0.05) mientras que en el grupo de comparación no hubo cambios importantes en los niveles de dolor entre ambas mediciones (p > 0.05). También se pudo establecer que el grupo experimental exhibió una reducción estadísticamente significativa de los niveles de ansiedad para cada una de las dimensiones y a nivel general luego de la intervención educativa (p< 0.05) contrario al grupo de comparación, donde se evidenció un aumento en el nivel de ansiedad, aunque sin diferencias importantes respecto de la medición inicial (p > 0.05).

Manual educativo de cuidados no pós-operatório de revascularização miocárdica: uma ferramenta para pacientes e familiares / Educational manual for the care of patients in the post-operative period of myocardial revascularization: a tool for patients and families

Elaborou-se um manual educativo para o autocuidado de pacientes revascularizados após a alta hospitalar. Trata-se de um estudo metodológico cuja coleta ocorreu entre fevereiro e abril de 2012 junto a oito peritos em cardiologia e 35 pacientes/familiares. Realizou-se a validação de conteúdo e de face junto a oito pacientes/familiares e oito peritos. Dos 46 itens propostos, os pacientes/familiares classificaram 26 itens (57%) como muito importante (concordância entre 91,4% e 100%) e os peritos 29 itens (63%) como muito importante (concordância igual ou superior a 75%). Selecionaram-se 36 itens distribuídos em 26 categoriais para o manual final. Houve 100% de concordância de pacientes/familiares e peritos quanto ao conteúdo, linguagem e ilustrações. A ferramenta apresentou validade semântica e adequação de conteúdo para a população, sendo capaz de reduzir complicações decorrentes do despreparo para o autocuidado, reduzindo o número de reinternações e os custos hospitalares, além de sistematizar o ensino pós-operatório.

An educational manual for the self-care of revascularized patients after hospital discharge was created. It is a methodological study whose data collection occurred between February and April, 2012, with eight cardiology experts and 35 patients/families. Content and face validation were conducted with eight patients/families and eight experts. Of the proposed 46 items, patients/families rated 26 items (57%) as very important (agreement between 91.4% and 100%) and experts rated 29 items (63%) as very important (agreement equal to or over 75%). Thirty-six items, distributed in 26 categories, were selected for the final manual. There was 100% agreement between patients/families regarding content, language, and illustrations. The tool presented semantic validity and content adequacy for the population, because it was able to reduce complications resulting from lack of training for self-care, thus reducing the number of readmissions and hospital costs, in addition to systematizing post-operative teaching.

Effectiveness of theory-based invitations to improve attendance at cardiac rehabilitation: a randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Despite well-established evidence of benefit from cardiac rehabilitation, typically fewer than 35% of eligible patients attend. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether theory-based invitations increase attendance at cardiac rehabilitation. METHOD: The study was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with two by two factorial design. A total of 375 participants with acute myocardial infarction or coronary revascularization was recruited from medical and surgical cardiac wards at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI). They were randomly assigned to receive either the standard invitation letter or a letter with wording based on the 'theory of planned behavior (TPB)' and the 'common sense model of illness perception', and either a supportive leaflet with motivational messages or not. The primary outcome was one or more attendances at cardiac rehabilitation. RESULTS: The theory-based letter increased attendance at cardiac rehabilitation compared to the standard letter (84% versus 74%, odds ratio (OR) 2.93, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.54-5.56), independent of age, gender, working status, hypertension, identity and TPB constructs. The number needed to treat (NNT) was 9 (95% CI 7-12). The motivational leaflet had no significant effect on attendance at rehabilitation (OR 1.02, 95% CI 0.57-1.83). CONCLUSIONS: The use of theory-based wording in invitation letters is a simple method to improve attendance at cardiac rehabilitation. Our letter, reproduced in this paper, could provide a template for practitioners and researchers.

Meta-analysis of long-term outcomes of drug-eluting stent implantations for chronic total coronary occlusions.

BACKGROUND: In the treatment of chronic total occlusions (CTOs), some uncertainty exists regarding the effect of drug-eluting stents (DESs) compared with the effects of bare mental stents (BMSs). We reviewed outcomes of DES vs. BMS implantation for CTO lesions, to evaluate the risk-benefit ratio of DES implantation. METHODS: Relevant studies of long-term clinical outcomes or angiographic outcomes of both BMS and DES implantation were examined. The primary endpoint comprised major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), including all-cause deaths, myocardial infarctions (MIs), and target lesion revascularizations (TLRs). A fixed-effect model and random-effect model were used to analyze the pooling results. RESULTS: Ten studies were included according to the selection criteria. Eight were nonrandomized controlled trials, and two consisted of a randomized controlled comparison between DES and BMS implantation. No significant difference was evident for in-hospital MACE rates between the two groups (odds ratio [OR], 1.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], .53 to 2.13), but the long-term MACE rates in the DES group were significantly lower than in the BMS group (OR, .22; 95% CI, .13 to .38; P < .00001). The rates of stent restenosis and reocclusions were also significantly lower in the DES group (OR, .14; 95% CI, .09 to .20; and OR, .23; 95% CI, .12 to .41, respectively). CONCLUSION: Implantation of the DES improves long-term angiographic and clinical outcomes compared with BMS in the treatment of CTO lesions.

Translation and validation study of the Japanese versions of the Coronary Revascularisation Outcome Questionnaire (CROQ-J).

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Assessing the health related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with a disease specific scale is essential. The purpose of this study was to develop the Japanese version of the coronary revascularisation outcome questionnaire (CROQ), a disease-specific scale to measure HRQOL before and after coronary revascularisation. METHODS: The English version of the questionnaire was translated into Japanese; some terms were revised, and some items were eliminated to suit the Japanese medical environment. Eight patients filled out the questionnaire, which was then analyzed for face validity. In the field study, subjects were recruited from a university hospital in Tokyo, and questionnaires were given to fill out. In terms of statistical analysis, factor analysis, internal consistency, known-groups validity, concurrent validity with using Short-Form36 (SF-36) and Seattle Angina Questionnaire-Japanese version (SAQ-J), and test-retest reliability were assessed. RESULTS: Informed consents were obtained from 356 patients, and out of 325 patients responded in the field study (91.3%). The factor structure of CROQ-Japanese version (CROQ-J) was similar to that of the original version. Cronbach's α ranged from 0.78 to 0.92. The concurrent validity was mostly supported by the pattern of association between CROQ-J, SAQ-J, and SF-36. Patients without chest symptoms had significantly higher scores of CROQ-J than those with chest symptoms. On the basis of analysis of the test-retest reliability, intra-class correlation coefficients were close to 0.70. CONCLUSIONS: The Japanese translation of CROQ is a valid and reliable scale for assessing the patient's HRQOL in CAD.

[Third phase of cardiac rehabilitation: a nurse-based "home-control" model]. / Terza fase della riabilitazione: sperimentazione di un modello gestionale "home-control".

BACKGROUND: Phase 3 is a critical point for cardiac rehabilitation: many problems don't allow achieving a correct secondary prevention, in particular regarding the relationship between patient and cardiologist. Aiming at ensuring continuity of care of phase 3 cardiac rehabilitation patients, we have developed a telemetric educational program to stimulate in them the will and capacity to become active comanagers of their disease. METHODS: Nurses specialized in cardiac rehabilitation, with the collaboration of the general practitioners, contact the patients by scheduled phone calls to collect questionnaires about their health status and the result of biochemistry. All the results are analyzed by the nurses and discussed with each patient (educational reinforcement). The effects of this program of comanagement of cardiac disease and secondary prevention are analyzed comparing each patient data at the discharge with data after one year and those coming from our archive (retrospective analysis). RESULTS: The patients enrolled in this study pay much more attention to the amount of food they eat; they tend not to gain weight, and they restart smoking in a reduced proportion compared to patients not enrolled in the study. However, despite having received better information on their cardiac disease, their compliance to physical training, consumption of healthy food, and pharmacological therapy is not improved. CONCLUSIONS: This study focuses on the role of a continuous educational program of a cardiac rehabilitation unit after the patient's discharge. This home control program conducted by nurses specialized in cardiac rehabilitation, with the assistance of cardiologists, psychologists and physiotherapists, and in collaboration with the general practitioner, was quite cheap, and helped maximizing the knowledge of the disease and reinforcing correct life style in the patients. The results are not as good as expected, probably because one year does not represent a sufficient time, or because the educational intervention needs to be improved.

A descriptive study aiming to describe a protocol for nursing consultation tested for patients after myocardial revascularization. The protocol is implemented in a hospital cardiac unit, has goals that must be achieved during the consultation period or in between. For reaching each goal have been established that nursing actions should be implemented by the nurse, displayed in three tables: Strategies for nursing consultation relating to the first care; Strategies for nursing consultations regarding the nursing visits nº 2, 3 and 4; Strategies for nursing consultations regarding the nursing visit nº 5 referring to the sixth month after surgery. It is believed that the implementation of the protocol allow a systematic evaluation of the patient, raising their real problems, for planning and implementation of nursing interventions, especially those related to behavioral changes.

Coronary revascularisation in chronic kidney disease. Part II: acute coronary syndromes.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a high burden of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death. Management of patients with CKD presenting with acute coronary syndromes is more complex than in the general population, due to greater diagnostic uncertainty and the lack of direct evidence for therapeutic interventions in this specific population, coupled with concerns about therapy-related adverse effects. However, these patients potentially have much to gain from conventional revascularisation strategies used in the general population. This review summarises the current evidence regarding the treatment of patients with CKD presenting with acute coronary syndromes, in particular with respect to coronary revascularisation strategies.

Perfil sociodemográfico de pacientes atendidos em ambulatório de isquemia cardíaca / Perfil sociodemográfico de pacientes atendidos en ambulatorio de isquemia cardiaca / Socio-demographic profile of patients assisted in myocardial ischemia ambulatory

As doenças cardiovasculares estão associadas a fatores de risco, comorbidades, hábitos de vida inadequados e condições socioeconômicas desfavoráveis. Estudo de corte transversal e descritivo, cujo objetivo foi caracterizar o perfil dos indivíduos revascularizados do miocárdio atendidos no ambulatório de um hospital filantrópico da cidade de Salvador, BA. Foram realizadas entrevistas com 61 usuários, entre abril e agosto de 2007. Os dados registrados e codificados nos formulários constituíram um banco de dados no programa estatístico SPSS 13.0 for Windows. Entre os sujeitos, 55,7% eram do sexo masculino, 52,5% com idade inferior a 60 anos, provedores da família, com tempo de cirurgia entre 45 dias a 17 anos, renda de até três salários mínimos, baixa escolaridade e reduzida atividade social. O perfil sociodemográfico dos sujeitos pode estar contribuindo para a não adesão ao tratamento implementado. Conhecer essas características possibilita propor práticas de cuidar individualizado para a melhoria da qualidade do cuidado de enfermagem.

Fueron realizadas entrevistas con 61 usuarios, entre abril y agosto de 2007. Los datos registrados y codificados en los formularios constituyeron un banco de datos en el programa estadístico SPSS 13.0 for Windows. Entre los sujetos, 55,7% eran del sexo masculino, 52,5% con edad inferior a 60 anos, proveedores de la familia, con tiempo de cirugía entre 45 días a 17 años, renta de hasta tres sueldos mínimos, baja escolaridad y reducida actividad social. El perfil sociodemográfico de los sujetos puede estar contribuyendo para la no adhesión al tratamiento implementado. Conocer esas características permite proponer prácticas de atención individualizada, posibilitando una mejoría en la calidad do los cuidados de la enfermería.

Teste ergométrico após intervenção coronária percutânea e cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica / Stress testing after percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass graft

No acompanhamento dos pacientes submetidos a revascularização do miocárdio por cirurgia ou intervenção coronária percutânea, algumas das preocupações são a oclusão das pontes, a presença de reestenose ou a progressão da doença, principalmente em pacientes assintomáticos. Desse modo, torna-se necessária a utilização de exames para detecção precoce desses eventos. O teste ergométrico é um dos métodos não-invasivos utilizados para esse fim, sendo fácil, seguro e, principalmente, de menor custo quando comparado aos métodos de imagem. Entretanto, quando estudado em grupos selecionados, como em pacientes com apenas um vaso doente e com eletrocardiograma de repouso sem alterações, o uso do teste ergométrico mostrou bons resultados. Além disso, alguns parâmetros do teste ergométrico têm valor significativo para avaliação de pacientes revascularizados ou após intervenção coronária percutânea. Mais especificamente, foi demonstrado que o tempo de duração do exercício é capaz de predizer a presença ou não de reestenose e/ou novas lesões. O teste ergométrico em indivíduos submetidos a intervenção coronária...
