ABSTRACT
Introdução: Analisar fatores associados e taxa de positividade de margem cirúrgica após ressecção primária de Câncer de Pele Não Melanoma (CNM). Métodos: Estudo transversal, quantitativo, realizado mediante a revisão de prontuários de pacientes submetidos à ressecção cirúrgica de carcinoma basocelular (CBC) e espinocelular (CEC) de pele. Foram estudadas as seguintes variáveis: idade, tipo de câncer, localização, diâmetro, variante histológica, presença de ulceração, presença e ressecção de lesões associadas e presença de comprometimento de margens cirúrgicas. Resultados: Foram inclusos 183 paciente no estudo. Destes, 130 eram CBC (71%) e 53 eram CEC (29%). A taxa global de comprometimento de margem foi de 13,1%, sendo 21 CBC (16%) e 3 CEC (5,66%). Margens cirúrgicas positivas estiveram mais associadas a lesões do tipo CBC (p<0,05) e em lesões localizadas em nariz e pálpebra (p<0,05). Presença de ulceração, diâmetro das lesões e variante histológica não foram associadas a uma maior taxa de ressecções incompletas. Conclusão: Nossa taxa global de ressecção incompleta de Câncer de Pele (CNM) apresenta-se semelhante ao encontrado na literatura. Lesões por CBC ou localizadas em nariz e pálpebra têm maiores taxas de positividade de margem após ressecção primária (AU)
Introduction: To analyze associated factors and surgical margin positivity rate after primary resection of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMC). Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative study was carried out by reviewing medical records of patients submitted to surgical resection of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin. The following variables were studied: age, type of cancer, location, diameter, histological variant, presence of ulceration, presence and resection of associated lesions, and presence of surgical margins involvement. Results: 183 patients were included in the study. Of these, 130 were BCC (71%) and 53 were SCC (29%). The overall rate of margin involvement was 13.1%, of which 21 were CBC (16%) and 3 SCC (5.66%). Positive surgical margins were more associated with BCC lesions (p <0.05) and lesions located in the nose and eyelid (p <0.05). Presence of ulceration, lesion diameter and histological variant were not associated with a higher rate of incomplete resections. Conclusion: Our overall rate of incomplete resection of Skin Cancer is similar to that found in the literature. Lesions by BCC or located in the nose and eyelid have higher rates of margin positivity after primary resection (AU)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The practice of anesthesiology is not without risks to the anesthesiologist. The operating room (OR), in which anesthesiologists spend most of their time, is regarded as an unhealthy workplace due to the potential risks it offers. In this review, we propose an analysis of the occupational hazards that anesthesiologists are exposed in their daily practice. CONTENT: We present a classification of risk and its relationship to occupational diseases. CONCLUSION: Control of occupational hazards to which anesthesiologists are exposed daily is necessary in order to develop an appropriate workplace and minimize risks to the good practice of anesthesiology. This contributes to decrease absenteeism, improve patients' care and quality of life of anesthesiologists.

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O exercício da anestesiologia não é isento de riscos para o anestesiologista. Considerada um local de trabalho insalubre em razão dos riscos potenciais que oferece, a sala de operações (SO) é o local no qual o anestesiologista passa a maior parte do tempo. Nesta revisão, propomos uma análise dos riscos ocupacionais aos quais estão expostos os anestesiologistas em sua prática diária. CONTEÚDO: Apresentamos a classificação dos riscos e suas relações com as doenças ocupacionais. CONCLUSÃO: O controle dos riscos ocupacionais, aos quais os anestesiologistas são expostos diariamente, se faz necessário para o desenvolvimento de um local de trabalho adequado e com riscos reduzidos para a boa prática da anestesiologia. Isso contribui para a diminuição do absenteísmo, a melhora da assistência prestada ao paciente e da qualidade de vida do anestesiologista.
