RESUMO
RESUMO Objetivo:
Determinar os principais problemas relacionados a medicamentos em neonatos sob uso de antimicrobianos.Métodos:
Estudo observacional, prospectivo e longitudinal. Os problemas relacionados a medicamentos foram classificados de acordo com a versão 6.2 da Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe Foundation. Foi executada análise descritiva, na qual as variáveis clínicas e terapêuticas foram apresentadas por frequências absolutas e relativas, ou por média e desvio padrão, conforme apropriado.Resultados:
Foram incluídos 152 neonatos com predomínio do sexo masculino (58,5%), idade gestacional de 32,7 ± 4,2 semanas e peso de 1.903,1 ± 846,9g. A principal hipótese diagnóstica de infecção foi a sepse precoce (66,5%), detectando-se que 71,7% dos neonatos apresentavam algum fator de risco para infecção. Dentre os neonatos, 33,6% apresentaram pelo menos um problema relacionado a medicamento. Destes, 84,8% estavam relacionados à efetividade do tratamento e 15,2% a reações adversas. A principal causa de problemas relacionados a medicamentos foi a escolha da dose, sobretudo dos aminoglicosídeos e das cefalosporinas.Conclusão:
O uso de antimicrobianos em terapia intensiva neonatal relaciona-se principalmente a problemas relacionados a medicamentos de efetividade, predominando a prescrição de antimicrobianos em subdose, sobretudo os aminoglicosídeos.ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective:
The goal was to determine the main drug-related problems in neonates who were using antimicrobials.Method:
This was an observational, prospective and longitudinal study. Drug-related problems were classified according to version 6.2 of the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe Foundation classification. A descriptive analysis was performed, in which the clinical and therapeutic variables were presented as absolute and relative frequencies or as the mean and standard deviation, as appropriate.Results:
In total, 152 neonates with a predominance of males (58.5%), gestational age of 32.7 ± 4.2 weeks and weight of 1,903.1 ± 846.9g were included. The main diagnostic hypothesis of infection was early sepsis (66.5%), and 71.7% of the neonates had some risk factor for infection. Among the neonates, 33.6% had at least one drug-related problem. Of these, 84.8% were related to treatment effectiveness and 15.2% to adverse reactions. The main cause of drug-related problems was the selected dose, particularly for aminoglycosides and cephalosporins.Conclusion:
The use of antimicrobials in the neonatal intensive care is mainly associated with problems related to medication effectiveness, predominantly the prescription of subdoses of antimicrobials, especially aminoglycosides.Key words
