[Usage of Calendula officinalis in the prevention and treatment of radiodermatitis: a randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial]. / Uso da Calendula officinalis na prevenção e tratamento de radiodermatite: ensaio clínico randomizado duplo cego.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of Calendula officinalis in relation to Essential Fatty Acids for the prevention and treatment of radiodermatitis. METHOD: This is a randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial with 51 patients with head and neck cancer in radiotherapy treatment divided into two groups: control (27) and experimental (24). RESULTS: There is statistically significant evidence (p-value = 0.0120) that the proportion of radiodermatitis grade 2 in Essential Fatty Acids group is higher than Calendula group. Through the Kaplan-Meier survival curve we observed that Essential Fatty Acids group has always remained below the Calendula group survival curve, due to the lower risk of developing radiodermatitis grade 1, which makes the usage of Calendula more effective, with statistical significance (p-value = 0.00402). CONCLUSION: Calendula showed better therapeutic response than the Essential Fatty Acids in the prevention and treatment of radiodermatitis. Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials: RBR-237v4b.

Implementation of modified Seldinger technology for percutaneous catheterization in critically ill newborns.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the implementation of Modified Seldinger Technology for percutaneous catheterization in critically ill newborns. METHOD: A quasi-experimental before- and-after study, carried out with neonatologist nurses in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. RESULTS: Seven nurses participated in the research. Catheter pre-insertion, insertion and maintenance were assessed using the conventional and modified Seldinger technique. Reliability was satisfactory in pre-test, 5.40 (Md = 6.00), and post-test, 5.94 (Md = 7.00), and perfect in the items about device insertion and maintenance. There was low assertiveness in the items on indication, microintroduction procedure via ultrasound, limb repositioning and disinfection of connections/connectors. CONCLUSION: Despite the Modified Seldinger Technique expanding some stages of execution over the traditional method of percutaneous catheterization, nurses were more assertive after theoretical-practical training.

Cost effectiveness of dressing in the prevention of catheter-related infection in critically ill patients.

INTRODUCTION: Catheter-related infection is a complication of high morbimortality. The aim was to perform a cost-effectiveness analysis of gauze and medical tape, transparent semi-permeable and chlorhexidine-impregnated dressings for short-term central venous catheter, within the Brazilian Public Healthcare System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS) scenario. METHODOLOGY: a decision tree was elaborated in order to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of dressings in the prevention of catheter-related infection in critically ill patients. The outcome was the probability of catheter-related infections prevention. Moreover, only direct medical expenses were considered. Sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the model uncertainties. RESULTS: Chlorhexidine-impregnated dressing presented higher cost-effectiveness when the base case was analyzed (cost of US$ 655 per case prevented, 99% of effectiveness), in comparison to gauze and medical tape dressing (US$ 696, effectiveness of 96%). Dressing changes performed before the recommended period, treatment performed exclusively in inpatient units and high effectiveness of gauze and medical tape dressing were variables that interfered with the results. The probability of death has also demonstrated to have a major impact on cost-effectiveness. CONCLUSION: In the context of a Brazilian public hospital, the chlorhexidine-impregnated dressing presented higher cost-effectiveness when compared to the gauze and medical tape dressing or the transparent semi-permeable dressing.

Entre los 31 catéteres, uno (3,2%) presentó obstrucción 15 minutos después del final después de la transfusión. Conclusiones: La ocurrencia de obstrucciones inmediatamente después de la transfusión fue baja y los catéteres permanecieron libres de complicaciones durante las siguientes 24 horas.

RESUMO Objetivos: estimar incidência e tempo livre de obstrução do cateter central de inserção periférica em recém-nascidos submetidos à transfusão de hemácias nas primeiras 24 horas após o procedimento. Métodos: estudo longitudinal, realizado com neonatos em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal em hospital de ensino do Paraná, entre janeiro e julho de 2019. Amostra foi composta por 46 eventos de transfusões realizadas em neonatos pelo cateter central de inserção periférica. Análise realizada segundo estatística descritiva. Resultados: foram analisados 31 cateteres, inseridos em 24 neonatos, por meio dos quais foram realizadas 46 transfusões de hemácias. A maioria dos neonatos era do sexo masculino, idade gestacional <32 semanas, peso <1.500 gramas, internados principalmente por prematuridade. Dentre os 31 cateteres, um (3,2%) apresentou obstrução após a transfusão. Conclusões: A ocorrência de obstruções imediatamente após transfusão foi baixa e os cateteres permaneceram livres da complicação nas 24h seguintes.

Neonatal appendicitis: a survival case study.

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of neonatal appendicitis in a children's hospital in southern Brazil, demonstrating the impact on neonatal survival. METHOD: Case study with data collection from medical records, approved by the Institution and Ethics Committee for Research with Human Beings. RESULTS: The clinical picture is initially characterized by food intolerance, evolving to hypoactivity, alteration of vital signs and septicemia due to intestinal perforation. Management is exclusively surgical, since no case described in the literature was diagnosed preoperatively and the findings usually point to acute abdomen. CONCLUSION: A focused clinical surveillance should be established when the infant presents peritoneal irritation. Follow-up of the evolution and the worsening of the symptoms by nurses, as part of the care team in partnership with the medical team, enables an early surgical intervention, thereby avoiding complications such as septicemia and death.
