ABSTRACT

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed measures of social distancing and, during this time, there has been an elevation in cardiovascular mortality rates and a decrease in the number of emergency visits. Objectives To assess and compare in-hospital mortality for cardiovascular diseases and emergency department visits during the COVID-19 pandemic and the same period in 2019. Methods Retrospective, single-center study that evaluated emergency visits and in-hospital deaths between March 16, 2020 and June 16, 2020, when the steepest fall in the number of emergency admissions for COVID-19 was registered. These data were compared with the emergency visits and in-hospital deaths between March 16 and June 16, 2019. We analyzed the total number of deaths, and cardiovascular deaths. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Results There was a 35% decrease in the number of emergency visits and an increase in the ratio of the number of deaths to the number of emergency visits in 2020. The increase in the ratio of the number of all-cause deaths to the number of emergency visits was 45.6% and the increase in the ratio of the number of cardiovascular deaths to the number of emergency visits was 62.1%. None of the patients who died in the study period in 2020 tested positive for COVID-19. Conclusion In-hospital mortality for cardiovascular diseases increased proportionally to the number of emergency visits during the COVID-19-imposed social distancing compared with the same period in 2019.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Descrever o perfil indivíduos com síndrome coronariana aguda atendidos em um hospital de urgência e emergência do Acre. Métodos: Estudo analítico, observacional e transversal, trata-se de um estudo transversal com dados obtidos através de prontuários e entrevista de 65 pacientes internados com diagnóstico de síndrome coronariana aguda e que foram regulados para a realização de cateteterismo. Resultados: Na amostra estudada 50 (77%) pertenciam ao o sexo masculino, na faixa etária entre 50 a 60 anos 28 (43%), da cor/raça parda 42 (65%) e grau de instrução ensino fundamental incompleto 21 (32%) e com sobrepeso 26(40%). A maior apresentou diagnóstico de infarto agudo do miocárdio sem supradesnível do segmento ST (IAMSSST) 37 (57%). Dentre esses 41 (63%) verbalizou sentir dor tipo A, sendo que a maior parte apresentou oclusão de 1 artéria 24 (36,9%). Quanto ao resultado do eletrocardiograma frente a parede acometida, a maioria não apresentou nenhuma alteração 44 (67,7%). Conclusão: Foi possível caracterizar o perfil do paciente com síndrome coronariana aguda e a partir do conhecimento sobre os fatores de riscos modificáveis, poder implementar estratégias que possam reduzir o número de casos de doenças cardiovasculares agudas e com desfechos desfavoráveis.


Objective: To describe the profile of individuals with acute coronary syndrome treated at an urgent and emergency hospital in Acre. Methods: Analytical, observational and cross-sectional study, this is a cross-sectional study with data obtained through medical records and interviews with 65 hospitalized patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome and who were scheduled for catheterization.

Trata-se de um estudo exploratório descritivo e de abordagem qualitativa. Utilizou-se a Teoria das Representações Sociais. O cenário da pesquisa foi um hospital público de referência em urgência do município de Natal/RN. A amostra foi composta por dez enfermeiros. Para a análise dos dados, utilizou-se a técnica de análise do conteúdo. Os resultados apontam a relação das representações sociais do trabalho com o estresse dos enfermeiros, como um fenômeno complexo e multifacetado, contributivo de doenças e desgaste físico, emocional e mental.

ABSTRACT

Mudanças no perfil de morbi-mortalidade por doenças crônicas não transmissíveis trazem repercussão para o atendimento às urgências/emergências hospitalares. Este estudo teve por objetivo caracterizar perfil dos atendimentos de urgência clínica, segundo variáveis demográficas, epidemiológicas e tempo de permanência, em hospital de Ensino, do interior de São Paulo, 2007. Trata-se de pesquisa descritiva, exploratória e documental, utilizando dados oficiais, analisados segundo estatística descritiva, discutidos a partir de referencial teórico de reorganização do atendimento a urgências/emergências clínicas. No período ocorreram 5.285 atendimentos clínicos, a maior parte usuários do sexo masculino (54,1%), com escolaridade de ensino fundamental (73,9%), faixa etária de 18 a 59 anos (62,8%). Doenças do aparelho circulatório foram mais frequentes e o tempo de permanência na unidade foi inferior a 6 horas (39,8%). A caracterização dos atendimentos clínicos do serviço de urgência/emergência fornece subsídios para organização do trabalho na unidade de estudo e no próprio hospital.


Cambios en la morbilidad y mortalidad por enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles no traen repercusiones para asistir a los departamentos de urgencias/emergencias hospitalarios. El objetivo fue caracterizar el perfil de la atención de urgencia, según las variables demográficas, epidemiológicas y de estancia en el hospital de Enseñanza, del interior de São Paulo, 2007. Investigación documental, descriptiva, exploratoria, a partir de datos oficiales, analizados por estadística descriptiva, discutidos a través del marco teórico de reorganización de la atención de emergencia/emergencias clínicas. En el periodo, ocurrieron 5.285 tratamientos clínicos, con usuarios del sexo masculino (54,1%), con estudios primarios (73,9%), de 18 a 59 años (62,8%). Enfermedades del aparato circulatorio fueron más frecuentes y la duración de la estancia en la unidad fue de menos de seis horas (39,8%). La caracterización de la atención clínica en servicio de urgencia/emergencia proporciona subvenciones para el trabajo en la unidad de estudio y en el hospital.


Changes in the morbidity and mortality profile from chronic non-communicable diseases affect the urgency/emergency care services. We aimed to characterize the profile of emergency clinical care, according to demographic and epidemiological variables and length of stay in a teaching hospital in the interior of São Paulo, 2007. This is a descriptive, exploratory and documentary research that used official data, analyzed by descriptive statistics, discussed based on the theoretical framework of reorganization of urgency and emergency clinical care. In this period there were 5,285 clinical assistances, most were male (54.1%), with elementary education (73.9%), aged from 18 to 59 years (62.8%). Diseases of the circulatory system were the most frequent and the average length of stay in the unit was less than 6 hours (39.8%). The characterization of clinical care in the urgency/emergency service enables the work organization in the study unit and in the hospital.
