ABSTRACT

Las altas tasas de letalidad y mortalidad a causa del paro cardiorespiratorio por fibrilación ventricular son considerados un problema de salud pública, cobrando gran relevancia la posibilidad de que sean revertidos rápidamente con la presencia de profesionales capacitados o por personal "lego" actualizados en reanimación cardiopulmonar. El objetivo del presente artículo de revisión fue analizar las nuevas recomendaciones de la American Heart Association para reanimación cardiopulmonar y atención cardiovascular de emergencia para el año 2020.


High rates of lethality and mortality due to ventricular fibrillation cardiorespiratory arrest are considered a public health problem, Thus, the possibility of reversed quickly by trained professionals or updated "lego" staff in cardiopulmonary resuscitation is taking great relevance. The objective of this review article was to discuss the New Recommendations of the American Heart Association for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care for 2020.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi apresentar uma revisão narrativa do atendimento à parada cardiorrespiratória, baseada nas diretrizes mais atuais e, também, uma análise crítica de informações de literatura recente, que vão além das recomendações gerais das diretrizes vigentes. A parada cardiorrespiratória, quando ocorre de forma inesperada, abrupta, em indivíduo que se encontrava estável horas antes do evento, é chamada de morte súbita. Essa condição é a principal causa de óbito extra-hospitalar não traumático e, dentre suas diversas causas, a síndrome coronariana aguda é a mais comum em adultos. Uma vez que a frequência de síndrome coronariana aguda tende a aumentar com o aumento da expectativa de vida e de prevalência de outros fatores de risco na população, a ocorrência de morte súbita também tende a aumentar nesse cenário. No intuito de orientar o atendimento de pacientes em parada cardiorrespiratória, há mais de quatro décadas foram criadas diretrizes internacionais, que evoluíram com o surgimento de novas evidências, especialmente nos últimos 20 anos. Todo médico deve estar preparado para atender uma situação de parada cardiorrespiratória, pois ele pode ser chamado para atender tais casos em diferentes cenários (emergência, unidade de internação ou em ambiente extra-hospitalar). Entretanto, apesar da importância da incorporação de novas evidências nessas diretrizes, mudanças frequentes nas recomendações representam grande desafio para os clínicos se manterem atualizados. Além da dificuldade na atualização permanente, há recomendações feitas pelas diretrizes de sociedades médicas que divergem entre si e são questionadas por especialistas, o que gera dúvida na tomada de decisão do clínico. Conforme pormenorizado neste artigo de atualização, as etapas do algoritmo de Suportes Básico e Avançado de Vida são apresentadas como uma sequência, para facilitar para o socorrista que atua sozinho a oferecer intervenções com impacto na sobrevivência do paciente, devendo priorizar a reanimação cardiopulmonar de qualidade e a desfibrilação precoce, se indicada.


The objective of this study was to present a narrative review of cardiac arrest care based on the most current guidelines, and also a critical analysis of recent literature information that goes beyond the general recommendations of the current guidelines. Cardiac arrest, when occurring unexpectedly, abruptly, in an individual who was stable hours before the event, is called sudden death. This condition is the leading cause of non-traumatic out-of-hospital death and, among its many causes, acute coronary syndrome is the most common in adults. Since the frequency of acute coronary syndrome tends to increase with increasing life expectancy and the prevalence of other risk factors in the population, sudden death also tends to increase in this scenario. In order to guide the care of patients with cardiopulmonary arrest, for over 4 decades, international guidelines have been created and have evolved with the emergence of new evidence, especially in the last 20 years. Every physician should be prepared to deal with a cardiac arrest situation as he or she may be called upon to treat such cases in different scenarios (emergency, inpatient unit or out-of-hospital setting). However, despite the importance of incorporating new evidence into these guidelines, frequent changes to the recommendations pose a major challenge for clinicians to update their knowledge. In addition to the difficulty of constantly updating, there are recommendations made by the guidelines of medical societies that differ from each other and are questioned by specialists, which creates doubt in the process of decision making among clinicians. As detailed in this update article, the stages of the algorithm of Basic and Advanced Life Support are presented in a sequence to help the rescuer who works alone to provide interventions that impact the patient's survival, and prioritize quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation and early defibrillation, if required.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the performance of the modified early warning score (Mews) in a nursing ward for patients in clinical deterioration. Method: This is an analytical, quantitative and predictive study. Mews' parameters (systolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature and level of consciousness) were evaluated every six hours. The following events were reported: death, cardiopulmonary arrest and transfer to intensive care. The evaluations were performed in a hospital of reference in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Results: A total of 300 patients were included (57 ± 18 years old, males: 65%). There number of combined events was observed to be greater the higher the score's value (00%; 00%; 01; 09%; 19%; 28%; 89%, respectively, for Mews 0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5 and 6; p < 0.0001). Mews ≥ 4 was the most appropriate cut-off point for prediction of these events (sensitivity: 87%, specificity: 85% and accuracy: 0.86). Conclusion: Mews properly measured the occurrence of severe events in hospitalized patients of a Brazilian public hospital's nursing ward. Mews ≥ 4 seems to be the most appropriate cut-off point for prediction of these events.


RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar el desempeño de la puntuación de alerta temprana modificada (Mews) en una enfermería de pacientes con deterioro clínico. Método: Se trata de un estudio analítico, cuantitativo y predictivo. Los parámetros Mews (presión arterial sistólica, frecuencia cardíaca, frecuencia respiratoria, temperatura y nivel de conciencia) se evaluaron cada 6 horas. Se registraron los siguientes eventos: muerte, parada cardiorrespiratoria y transferencia para la terapia intensiva. Las evaluaciones se realizaron en un hospital de referencia del interior del estado de São Paulo. Resultados: Participaron 300 pacientes (57 ± 18 años; sexo masculino: 65%). Se observó un número creciente de eventos asociados según el mayor valor de la puntuación (00%; 00%; 01%; 09%; 19%; 28%; 89%, respectivamente, para los Mews 0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5 y 6; p <0,0001). Los Mews ≥ 4 fueron el punto de corte más adecuado para la predicción de estos eventos (sensibilidad: 87%; especificidad: 85%; y exactitud: 0,86). Conclusión: Los Mews permitieron estimar adecuadamente la ocurrencia de eventos graves en pacientes hospitalizados en la enfermería de un hospital público brasileño. Los Mews ≥ 4 parece ser el punto de corte más adecuado para predecirlos.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La reanimación cardiopulmonar debe practicarse sobre toda persona en parada cardiorrespiratoria. Objetivo: Identificar el nivel de información sobre reanimación cardiopulmonar de médicos y enfermeras en una Policlínica Universitaria. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal en un universo de 64 médicos y enfermeras de la Policlínica Universitaria Rene Vallejo Ortiz, Manzanillo, en el periodo septiembre a noviembre del 2016. Se aplicó un cuestionario confeccionado por los autores, sobre reanimación cardiopulmonar, en base a las recomendaciones de la American Heart Association. Resultados: De un total de 64 trabajadores el 25 por ciento eran licenciadas en enfermería; 26,56 por ciento, médicos especialistas; 34,38 por ciento, médicos residentes y el 14,06 por ciento, médicos generales. La media de años de experiencia fue de 9,64. Tan solo el 20,31 por ciento de los encuestados resultaron en un nivel de información satisfactorio a predominio de los médicos generales, los cuales representaron el 38,46 por ciento del total de profesionales en ese nivel de información. La calificación profesional de los doctores en medicina demostró estar relacionada con niveles insatisfactorios de conocimientos no siendo así con la autopercepción de sentirse apto para llevar a cabo maniobras de RCP efectivas. Conclusiones: El nivel de información sobre RCP fue insatisfactorio en un porcentaje alto de médicos y enfermeras y este se relacionó con la calificación profesional no siendo así con la autopercepción de capacidades cognitivas para realizar maniobras de RCP(AU)


Introduction: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be performed on any person with cardiorespiratory arrest. Objective: To identify the range of information on cardiopulmonary resuscitation of doctors and nurses in a university polyclinic. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in a universe of 64 doctors and nurses from Rene Vallejo Ortiz University Polyclinic, in Manzanillo, from September to November 2016. A questionnaire on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, prepared by the authors, was applied. It was based on the recommendations of the American Heart Association. Results: Sixty four 64 workers formed the sample. 25 percent were bachelors in nursing, 26.56 percent medical specialists, 34.38 percent resident doctors and 14.06 percent general practitioners. The average number of years of experience was 9.64. Only 20.31 percent of the respondents resulted in a satisfactory range of information and general practitioners were the majority, which represented 38.46 percent of the total number of professionals in this level of information. The professional qualification of the doctors in medicine showed to be related to unsatisfactory range of knowledge. However, their self-perception of feeling apt to carry out effective CPR maneuvers is satisfactory. Conclusions: The range of information on CPR was unsatisfactory in a high percentage of doctors and nurses and this was related to the professional qualification, nevertheless the self-perception of cognitive abilities to perform CPR maneuvers is satisfactory(AU)

ABSTRACT

Se realizó una investigación cuantitativa, descriptiva, retrospectiva, transversal y observacional. El objetivo fue determinar la incidencia de paro cardiorrespiratorio (PCR) en pacientes internados en unidad de terapia intensiva (UTI) del Hospital Juan R. Vidal en la Ciudad de Corrientes, entre enero de 2014 y enero de 2015. Las variables fueron: grupo etario, sexo, diagnóstico al ingreso, PCR previo, causa del PCR, tiempo de internación en la UTI, estación del año de ocurrencia del PCR y tiempo de reanimación. Para la muestra se seleccionó 50 pacientes reuniendo los criterios de inclusión, exclusión y eliminación, mediante muestreo aleatorio simple. Para la recolección de datos se usó un formulario que contenía las variables en estudio. Los resultados determinaron una incidencia de PCR del 14% con un intervalo de confianza del 95% entre 3 y 25%. El grupo etario de mayor frecuencia fue entre 52-62 años, el sexo predominante masculino, el diagnóstico al ingreso y las causas del PCR coinciden en enfermedades respiratorias, hubo pocos casos de PCR previo, el tiempo de internación en UTI fue entre 1-10 días, la estación del año de ocurrencia otoño, y se estimó un tiempo de reanimación de 40 minutos (DS +/- 5) con un IC al 95% entre 38,5- 41,4 minutos. Discusión: En líneas comparativas con trabajos citados los resultados obtenidos son muy similares, sobre todo en lo referente a la edad, sexo, causa precipitante y estación del año de ocurrencia. Conclusión: Se determinó una incidencia de PCR del 14%


A quantitative, descriptive, retrospective, transverse and observational investigation was carried out. The objective was to determine the incidence of cardiorespiratory arrest (CRP) in patients admitted to the intensive care unit of the Juan R. Vidal Hospital in the city of Corrientes between January 2014 and January 2015. The variables were: age group, Sex, diagnosis at admission, previous CRP, cause of CRP, length of stay in the ICU, season of the year of CRP occurrence and resuscitation time. For the sample, 50 patients were selected meeting the inclusion, exclusion and elimination criteria, using simple random sampling. For data collection, a form containing the variables under study was used. The results determined a CRP incidence of 14% with a 95% confidence interval between 3 and 25%. The most frequent age group was between 52-62 years, the predominant male sex, the diagnosis at admission and the causes of CRP coincide in respiratory diseases, there were few cases of previous CRP, the time of ICU admission was between 1-10 Days, the season of the year of fall occurrence, and a resuscitation time of 40 minutes (SD +/- 5) with a 95% CI of 38.5-41.4 minutes was estimated. Discussion: In comparative lines with cited works the results obtained are very similar, especially in relation to age, sex, precipitating cause and season of the year of occurrence. Conclusion: A PCR incidence of 14% was determined

ABSTRACT

Hereditary sudden cardiac death syndromes comprise a wide range of diseases resulting from alteration in cardiac ion channels. Genes involved in these syndromes represent diverse mutations that cause the altered encoding of the diverse proteins constituting these channels, thus affecting directly the currents of the corresponding ions. In the present article we will briefly review how to arrive to a clinical diagnosis and we will present the results of molecular genetic studies made in Mexican subjects attending the SCD Syndromes Clinic of the National Institute of Cardiology of Mexico City.


Los síndromes hereditarios de muerte súbita cardíaca comprenden una amplia gama de enfermedades resultantes de la alteración en los canales iónicos cardíacos. Los genes implicados en estos síndromes presentan mutaciones que causan alteraciones de las diversas proteínas que constituyen estos canales y que, por lo tanto, afectan directamente a las diferentes corrientes iónicas. En el presente artículo se revisa brevemente la forma de llegar a un diagnóstico clínico de dichos síndromes y se presentan los resultados de los estudios genéticos moleculares realizados en sujetos mexicanos que asisten a la Clínica de Síndromes Hereditarios de Muerte Súbita del Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez.

ABSTRACT

O soco precordial, descrito na década de 1960, tem sua utilidade questionada nas bradiarritmiase pode gerar taquiarritmias. Apresentamos o caso de paciente do sexo masculino, com 24 anos de idade, semantecedentes cardiovasculares relevantes e com história de palpitações recorrentes desde os 17 anos, que, apóscardioversão elétrica durante monitorização para realização de ablação por cateter, apresentou assistolia por mais de30 segundos, mantido com punho percussão, cujo registro pode demonstrar a eficácia em induzir a despolarizaçãoventricular. Duas considerações são relevantes nesse contexto: 1) presença de assistolia pós-cardioversão, compoucos relatos na literatura, relacionada a disfunção sinusal ou a uso de fármacos (que não é o caso de nossorelato, que pode ter sido induzida pelo reflexo vagal produzido pela cardioversão elétrica); e 2) impacto precordial,que produz aumento da pressão ventricular, distensão miocárdica, ativação dos canais iônicos e consequentedespolarização, gerando batimentos eficazes, capazes de manter a estabilidade hemodinâmica. A cardioversãoelétrica pode induzir a assistolia e o soco precordial pode ser útil na assistolia.


The use of precordial thump, described in the 60s, has been questioned in the management ofbradyarrhythmias and due the potential to generate tachyarrhythmias. We present the case of a 24-years-old malepatient, without relevant cardiovascular history, with recurrent palpitations since the age of 17, who after electricalcardioversion during monitoring for a catheter ablation procedure, developed asystole for over 30 seconds, treatedby precordial thump, whose recording demonstrates its effectiveness in inducing ventricular depolarization. Tworelevant considerations in ventricular depolarization induction: 1) the presence of asystole after cardioversionwith few reports in the literature attributed to sinus node dysfunction or drug therapy (which is not the caseof our patient, that may have been induced by the vagal reflexes produced by electrical cardioversion); and 2)the precordial impact, that increases ventricular pressure, myocardial stretch, activation of ion channels andsubsequent depolarization, generating effective beats, capable of maintaining hemodynamic stability. Electricalcardioversion may induce asystole and the precordial thump may be helpful in asystole.

ABSTRACT

Background: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is defined as a cardiac arrest that occurs in a hospital and for which resuscitation is attempted. Despite the increased morbidity and mortality, IHCA incidence and outcomes remain largely unknown especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This study describes the baseline characteristics, prearrest physiological parameters and the rate of survival to hospital discharge of adult patients with an IHCA at a tertiary hospital in Kenya. Methods: This was a retrospective chart review. Data on patient characteristics, pre-arrest physiological parameters and discharge condition were collected on all patients 18 years of age or older with an IHCA at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi, from January 2013 to December 2013. Results: The main study population comprised 108 patients. The mean age was 59.3 ± 18.4 years and 63 (58.3%) patients were men. The initial rhythm post cardiac arrest was pulseless electrical activity (41.7%) or asystole (35.2%) in the majority of cases. Hypertension (43.5%), septicaemia (40.7%), renal insufficiency (30.6%), diabetes mellitus (25.9%) and pneumonia (15.7%) were the leading pre-existing conditions in the patients. A Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) of 5 or more was reached in 56 (67.5%, n= 83) patients before the cardiac arrest. The rate of survival to hospital discharge was 11.1%. All the patients who survived to hospital discharge had a good neurological outcome. Conclusions: Early identification of warning signs that precede many in-hospital arrests may enable institution of treatment to prevent patient deterioration. Local hospitals should be encouraged to provide patients with resuscitation services and equipment in line with evidence-based programmes

ABSTRACT

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A implantação dos times de resposta rápida (TRR) para o atendimento de emergências clínicas e parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR) tem mostrado impacto positivo na sobrevida e morbidade dos pacientes atendidos. Este estudo teve como objetivo descrever a sua implantação no Instituto do Coração do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA: Trata-se de implantação dos TRR. Foram criados três TRR de acordo com o tipo de emergência clínica e a idade do paciente: Código Vermelho e Azul - atendimento de PCR em cardiopediatria e adultos, respectivamente? e Código Amarelo - atendimento de emergências clínicas em adultos. Para viabilizar a implantação, houve necessidade de adequação da infraestrutura, por meio da aquisição de bips internos exclusivos, adequação dos elevadores e a padronização dos carros de emergência. Todos os profissionais que compõem os TRR foram treinados, bem como os enfermeiros e os médicos das unidades que atendem pacientes não críticos. CONCLUSÃO: Acredita-se que com a implantação dos TRR haverá maior agilidade no atendimento das emergências clínicas e das PCR, contribuindo para melhor prognóstico do paciente.


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Rapid response team (RRT) implementation for clinical emergency assistance and cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA) has resulted in positive impacts on the survival and morbidity rates of the assisted patients. This study aimed at the description of RRT implantation at Hospital das Clínicas Heart Institute of the School of Medicine of Universidade de São Paulo. EXPERIENCE REPORT: It is an RRT implantation. Three RRT were developed according to the type of clinical emergency and patient age: Red and Blue Code - CRA assistance in cardiopediatrics and adult care, respectively - and Yellow Code - clinical emergency assistance for adults. To make implantation feasible, infrastructure adjustments were necessary with the acquisition of specific internal pagers, lift adjustments, and emergency carts standardization. All health care providers involved in the RRTs were trained, including nurses and physicians who carefor non-critical patients. CONCLUSION: We think RRT implantation will result in more prompt assistance for clinical emergencies and CRA, and better patient prognosis.

ABSTRACT

Este texto apresenta uma revisão da epidemiologia, das causas, do diagnóstico e do manejo da paradacardíaca em crianças. Ao contrário do adulto, a parada cardíaca súbita de origem cardíaca é um eventoraro na criança. Geralmente, é causada por insuficiência respiratória e/ou choque. Portanto, o reconhecimento precoce e o tratamento imediato destas condições podem evitar a parada cardíaca e melhoraro desfecho desses pacientes.


This paper presents a review of the epidemiology, causes, diagnosis and management of cardiac arrestin children. In contrast to adults, cardiac arrest in children rarely results from a primary cardiac andsudden cause. It’s usually due to respiratory failure and/or shock. Therefore, early recognition of theseconditions and prompt treatment may prevent cardiac arrest and improve outcome of these patients.

ABSTRACT

Prolongation of QTc interval associated with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) has previously been reported in published case series. We report an unusual case of a patient who presented with TC associated with long-QT syndrome and developed cardiac arrest secondary to torsade de pointes. Since QT prolongation and bradycardia persisted after the resolution of TC, the patient received permanent pacemaker. Since then additional event did not occur. QT prolongation and bradycardia could be persistent even after recovery of TC, and permanent pacemaker insertion may be a treatment option of long QT syndrome related with TC.
