Specific causal validation of nursing diagnosis Risk for thrombosis: A case-control study.

PURPOSE: This study aims to perform specific causal validation of nursing diagnosis Risk for thrombosis (00291) of the NANDA International (NANDA-I) classification. METHODS: This is a case-control study conducted in a university hospital from January to October 2020. A total of 516 adult patients were included-344 in the Case Group (with venous or arterial thrombosis evidenced by imaging) and 172 in the Control Group (without thrombosis). Statistical analysis was performed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression test, and odds ratios were calculated to measure the effect of exposure between groups. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. FINDINGS: The patients were predominantly female and aged 59 ± 16 years. In the univariate logistic analysis, five risk factors were significantly associated with thrombosis, two at-risk populations and 12 associated conditions. In the multivariate regression model, the following risk factors remained independently associated (p < 0.05): inadequate knowledge of modifiable factors (OR: 3.03; 95% CI: 1.25-8.56) and ineffective medication self-management (OR: 3.2; 95% CI:1.77-6.26); at-risk populations with history (OR: 2.16; 95% CI: 1.29-3.66) and family history of thrombosis (OR:2.60; 95% CI: 1.03-7.49); and the conditions associated with vascular diseases (OR:6.12; 95% CI:1.69-39.42), blood coagulation disorders (OR: 5.14; 95% CI:1.85-18.37), atherosclerosis (OR:2.07; 95% CI: 1.32-3.27), critical illness (OR: 2.28; 95% CI: 1.42-3.70), and immobility (OR: 2.09; 95% CI: 1.10-4.12). CONCLUSIONS: The clinical validation allowed to establish strong evidence for the refinement of the diagnosis Risk for thrombosis and, consequently, to raise its level of evidence in the classification of NANDA-I. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The evidence pointed out by this study favors the establishment of thrombosis diagnosis in an accurate way by nurses in clinical practice, directing preventive interventions to patients in this risk condition.

OBJETIVO: Realizar a validação causal específica do diagnóstico de enfermagem Risco de trombose (00291) da classificação diagnóstica da NANDA International, Inc. MÉTODOS: Estudo de caso-controle, realizado em hospital universitário entre janeiro e outubro de 2020. Foram incluídos 516 pacientes adultos - 344 no Grupo Caso (com trombose venosa ou arterial evidenciada em exame de imagem) e 172 no Grupo Controle (sem trombose). A análise estatística ocorreu por teste de regressão logística univariada e multivariada, e Odds ratios calculados para medir o efeito da exposição entre os grupos. O estudo foi aprovado em Comitê de Ética. RESULTADOS: Os pacientes foram predominantemente do sexo feminino e idade de 59±16 anos. Na análise logística univariada foi associado significativamente á trombose: cinco fatores de risco, duas populações em risco e 12 condições associadas. No modelo de regressão multivariada permaneceram independentemente associados (P<0,05) os fatores de risco conhecimento inadequado sobre os fatores modificáveis (OR:3,03; IC95%:1,25-8,56) e autogestão ineficaz de medicamentos (OR:3,24; IC95%:1,77-6,26); as populações em risco com história prévia (OR:2,16; IC95%:1,29-3,66) e história familiar de trombose (OR:2,60; IC95%:1,03-7,49); e as condições associadas a doenças vasculares (OR:6,12; IC95%:1,69-39,42), distúrbios de coagulaçõo (OR:5,14; IC95%:1,85-18,37),aterosclerose (OR:2,07; IC95%:1,32-3,27), doença crítica (OR:2,28; IC95%:1,42-3,70) e imobilidade (OR:2,09; IC95%:1,10-4,12). CONCLUSÕES: A validação clínica permitiu estabelecer fortes evidências para o refinamento do diagnóstico Risco de trombose e, consequentemente, elevar seu nível de evidência na classificação da NANDA-I. IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A PRÁTICA: As evidências apontadas pelo estudo favorecem o estabelecimento deste diagnóstico de forma acurada pelos enfermeiros na prática clínica, direcionando intervenções preventivas aos pacientes nesta condiçõo de risco.

Trombose: análise de conceito como subsídio teórico para qualificar a prática clínica de enfermeiros / Thrombosis: concept analysis as a theoretical contribution to qualify the clinical practice of nurses

OBJETIVO: analisar o conceito de trombose e identificar aplicações, atributos definidores, antecedentes, consequentes e referenciais empíricos. MÉTODO: análise de conceito, segundo Walker e Avant. RESULTADOS: os atributos definidores mais citados foram trombo (s), tríade de Virchow e comprometimento total/ parcial do fluxo sanguíneo. Os antecedentes mais frequentes foram câncer/uso de quimioterápicos, trombofilias e diabetes. Várias manifestações compuseram os consequentes, conforme o leito vascular comprometido. Os mais citados foram: acidente vascular cerebral ou acidente isquêmico transitório, infarto agudo do miocárdio e tromboembolismo pulmonar. Os referenciais empíricos se relacionaram a exames clínicos, testes de coagulação e escores de risco. A tomografia computadorizada foi o exame de imagem mais citado. CONCLUSÃO: a análise de conceito de trombose evidenciou o uso deste termo na literatura atual, bem como os atributos definidores, antecedentes, consequentes e referenciais empíricos. Este estudo agrega conhecimento à prática clínica de enfermeiros e pode contribuir com o refinamento dos sistemas de linguagens padronizadas.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the concept of thrombosis and identify its applications, defining attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical references. METHOD: a concept analysis was carried out using Walker and Avant's framework. RESULTS: the most cited defining attributes were thrombus, Virchow's triad, and total/partial impairment of blood flow. The most frequent antecedents were cancer/chemotherapy, thrombophilia, and diabetes. Several manifestations composed the consequences, according to the compromised vascular bed. The most cited were stroke or transient ischemic attack, acute myocardial infarction, and pulmonary thromboembolism. The empirical references were related to clinical examinations, coagulation tests, and risk scores. Computed tomography was the most cited imaging test. CONCLUSION: The analysis of the thrombosis concept showed the use of this term in the current literature, its defining attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical references. This study adds knowledge to nurses' clinical practice and can contribute to the refinement of standardized language systems.

B-type natriuretic peptide levels and diagnostic accuracy: excess fluid volume.

AIM: To analyze the behavior of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the presence of defining characteristics (DCs) of the nursing diagnosis Excess fluid volume (00026) in patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure. METHODS: Cohort study of patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure (September 2015 to September 2016) defined by Boston Criteria. Patients hospitalized for up to 36 h with BNP values ≥ 100 pg/ml were included; BNP values at baseline-final assessment were compared by Wilcoxon test, the number of DCs at baseline-final assessment was compared by paired t-test. RESULTS: Sixty-four patients were included; there was a significant positive correlation between delta of BNP and the number of DCs present at initial clinical assessment. CONCLUSIONS: The behavior of BNP was correlated to the DCs indicating congestion. With clinical compensation, DCs and BNP decreased. The use of this biomarker may provide additional precision to the nursing assessment.

Two HEmostasis Methods After TransradIal Catheterization: THEMATIC Randomized Clinical Trial.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of 2 hemostasis devices on the incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO) after transradial cardiac catheterization. BACKGROUND: Radial artery occlusion is the most prevalent ischemic complication after radial artery catheterization. There is still no predictive pattern of vessel patency assessment, and the comparative effectiveness of different hemostasis techniques has yet to be established. METHODS: This study used a randomized clinical trial of adult patients undergoing transradial cardiac catheterization. Participants were randomized into an intervention group (hemostasis with the TR Band device) and a control group (hemostasis with a conventional pressure dressing). The primary end point was the incidence of RAO (at discharge and at 30 days post catheterization). RESULTS: Among the 600 patients included (301 in the intervention group and 299 controls), immediate RAO occurred in 24 (8%) in the TR Band group and 19 (6%) in the pressure-dressing group; at 30 days, RAO was present in 5 patients (5%) in the TR Band group and 7 (6%) in the pressure-dressing group. On multivariate analysis, peripheral vascular disease was the only independent predictor of RAO at discharge and at 30 days. ConclusionsThe incidence of RAO was similar in patients who received hemostasis with a TR Band versus a pressure dressing after transradial cardiac catheterization.

Effect of motivational interviewing in hypertensive patients (MIdNIgHT): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Only one-third of hypertensive patients achieve and maintain blood-pressure control. This is attributed to low treatment adherence and has a negative impact on clinical outcomes. Adherence is multidimensional and involves aspects both related to patient characteristics and to the chronic nature of the disease. In this context, motivational interviewing has been proposed as an approach to foster patients' motivations to change their behavior for the benefit of their own health, thus providing more lasting behavioral changes. DESIGN AND METHODS: Single-center, parallel, randomized controlled trial with outcome-assessor blinding. This study will select adult patients (n = 120) diagnosed with hypertension who receive regular follow-up in a specialized outpatient clinic. Patients will be randomly allocated across two groups: the intervention group will have appointments focused on motivational interviewing, while the control group will have traditional appointments. Patients will be monitored face-to-face, once monthly for six months. The primary outcomes will be a reduction of at least 8 mmHg in systolic blood pressure and changes in mean blood pressure measured by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Secondary outcomes include improvement of adherence to a low-sodium diet, adherence to self-care behaviors, regular use of antihypertensive medications, increase or maintenance of physical activity, weight reduction, evaluation of changes in daytime sleepiness, and cessation of smoking. DISCUSSION: This study shows an intervention strategy that will be tested and, if effective, warrant replication in monitoring of other chronic diseases. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02892929 . Registered on 24 August 2016.

Precipitating factors of decompensation of heart failure related to treatment adherence: multicenter study-EMBRACE. / Fatores precipitantes de descompensação da insuficiência cardíaca relacionados a adesão ao tratamento: estudo multicêntrico-EMBRACE.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the precipitating factors of heart failure decompensation between adherent and non-adherent patients to treatment. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of a multicenter cohort study. Patients over 18 years of age with decompensated heart failure (functional class III/IV) were eligible. The structured questionnaire was used to collect the data and evaluate the reasons for decompensation. The irregular use of medication prior to hospitalization and inadequate salt and fluid intake were considered as poor adherence to treatment. RESULTS: A total of 556 patients were included, mean age 61 ± 14 years old, 362 (65%) male. The main factor of decompensation was poor adherence, representing 55% of the sample. Patients who reported irregular use of medications in the last week had a 22% greater risk of being hospitalized due to poor adherence than the patients who adhered to treatment. CONCLUSION: The EMBRACE study showed that in patients with heart failure, poor adherence was the main factor of exacerbation.

Two HEmostasis Methods After TransradIal Catheterization: THEMATIC - protocol for a randomized clinical trial.

OBJECTIVE: Randomized clinical trial protocol to evaluate the incidence of radial artery occlusion with two different arterial compression devices after transradial procedures. METHODS: Barbeau's test will be performed in adults scheduled to undergo transradial interventional procedures. Those with A, B, or C plethysmographic patterns will be selected. At the end of the procedure, patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive patent haemostasis with TR Band™ device or conventional haemostasis with an elastic adhesive bandage. The primary outcome is the incidence of radial artery occlusion. Secondary outcomes are Barbeau's test curve change, additional time to achieve haemostasis, incidence of bleeding at the puncture site, pain severity, development of arteriovenous fistula, radial pseudo aneurysm, any access-site complication requiring vascular surgery intervention and costs between the two devices. DISCUSSION: The results of this trial should provide valuable additional information on the best approach for haemostasis after transradial percutaneous cardiovascular interventions.

Aggressive fluid and sodium restriction in decompensated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: Results from a randomized clinical trial.

OBJECTIVES: Sodium and fluid restriction is commonly prescribed for heart failure patients. However, its role in the treatment of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of a diet with sodium and fluid restriction with an unrestricted diet in patients admitted for decompensated HFpEF. METHODS: Patients were randomized to a diet with sodium (0.8 g/d) and fluid (800 mL/d) restriction (intervention group [IG]) or an unrestricted diet (control group [CG]) and followed for 7 d or hospital discharge. The primary outcome was weight loss. Secondary outcomes included clinical stability, perception of thirst, neurohormonal activation, nutrient intake, readmission, and mortality rate after 30 d. RESULTS: Fifty-three patients were included (30, IG; 23, CG). The mean ejection fraction was 62% ± 8% for IG and 60% ± 7% for CG (P = 0.44). Weight loss was similar in both groups, being 1.6 ± 2.2 kg in the IG and 1.8 ± 2.1 kg in CG (P = 0.49) as well as the reduction in the congestion score (IG = 3.4 ± 3.5; CG = 3.8 ± 3.4; P = 0.70). The daily perception of thirst was higher in the IG (P = 0.03). Lower energy consumption was seen in the IG (P <0.001). No significant between-group differences at 30 d were found. CONCLUSIONS: Aggressive sodium and fluid restriction does not provide symptomatic or prognosis benefits, but does produce greater perception of thirst, may impair the patient's food intake, and does not seem to have an important neurohormonal effect in patients admitted for decompensated HFpEF.

Reducing bed rest time from five to three hours does not increase complications after cardiac catheterization: the THREE CATH Trial.

OBJECTIVE: to compare the incidence of vascular complications in patients undergoing transfemoral cardiac catheterization with a 6F introducer sheath followed by 3-hour versus 5-hour rest. METHODS: randomized clinical trial. Subjects in the intervention group (IG) ambulated 3 hours after sheath removal, versus 5 hours in the control group (CG). All patients remained in the catheterization laboratory for 5 hours and were assessed hourly, and were contacted 24, 48, and 72 h after hospital discharge. RESULTS: the sample comprised 367 patients in the IG and 363 in the GC. During cath lab stay, hematoma was the most common complication in both groups, occurring in 12 (3%) IG and 13 (4%) CG subjects (P=0.87). Bleeding occurred in 4 (1%) IG and 6 (2%) CG subjects (P=0.51), and vasovagal reaction in 5 (1.4%) IG and 4 (1.1%) CG subjects (P=0.75). At 24-h, 48-h, and 72-h bruising was the most commonly reported complication in both groups. None of the comparisons revealed any significant between-group differences. CONCLUSION: the results of this trial show that reducing bed rest time to 3 hours after elective cardiac catheterization is safe and does not increase complications as compared with a 5-hour rest.

Applicability of nursing outcomes in patients with heart failure and fluid volume excessive. / Aplicabilidade dos resultados de enfermagem em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca e volume de líquidos excessivo.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to test the clinical applicability of the Nursing Outcomes Classification in patients with decompensated heart failure and the nursing diagnosis of fluid volume excess. METHODS: This is a longitudinal study conducted in two stages at a university hospital, in 2013. During the first stage the consensus of experts was used to select the nursing outcomes and the indicators related to diagnosing fluid volume excess. The longitudinal study was conducted in the second stage to clinically evaluate the patients using the instrument containing the results and indicators produced in the consensus. RESULTS: A total of 17 patients were assessed. The nursing outcomes were measured during the clinical evaluation by analysing their indicators. The scores increased in six of the results, in comparison with the average results of the first and last assessment. The Nursing Outcomes Classification during medical practice revealed a clinical improvement among the patient who were admitted following decompensated heart failure. CONCLUSION: The Nursing Outcomes Classification managed to detect changes in the clinical status of patients.

Reducing bed rest time from five to three hours does not increase complications after cardiac catheterization: the THREE CATH Trial / Redução do repouso de cinco para três horas não aumenta complicações após cateterismo cardíaco: THREE CATH Clinical Trial / La reducción del reposo de cinco para tres horas no aumenta las complicaciones después del Clinical Trial Three Cath

Abstract Objective: to compare the incidence of vascular complications in patients undergoing transfemoral cardiac catheterization with a 6F introducer sheath followed by 3-hour versus 5-hour rest. Methods: randomized clinical trial. Subjects in the intervention group (IG) ambulated 3 hours after sheath removal, versus 5 hours in the control group (CG). All patients remained in the catheterization laboratory for 5 hours and were assessed hourly, and were contacted 24, 48, and 72 h after hospital discharge. Results: the sample comprised 367 patients in the IG and 363 in the GC. During cath lab stay, hematoma was the most common complication in both groups, occurring in 12 (3%) IG and 13 (4%) CG subjects (P=0.87). Bleeding occurred in 4 (1%) IG and 6 (2%) CG subjects (P=0.51), and vasovagal reaction in 5 (1.4%) IG and 4 (1.1%) CG subjects (P=0.75). At 24-h, 48-h, and 72-h bruising was the most commonly reported complication in both groups. None of the comparisons revealed any significant between-group differences. Conclusion: the results of this trial show that reducing bed rest time to 3 hours after elective cardiac catheterization is safe and does not increase complications as compared with a 5-hour rest.

Resumo Objetivo: comparar a incidência de complicações vasculares em pacientes submetidos a cateterismo cardíaco com introdutor 6 French sob abordagem transfemoral com repouso de 3 horas e de 5 horas Método: ensaio clínico randomizado. Os sujeitos incluídos no grupo intervenção (GI) deambularam 3 horas após a retirada do introdutor versus 5 horas para os do grupo controle (GC). Todos os pacientes permaneceram 5 horas no laboratório de hemodinâmica (LH), onde foram avaliados a cada hora, e foram contatados em 24, 48 e 72 h após a alta hospitalar. Resultados: a amostra foi composta por 367 pacientes no GI e 363 no GC. Durante a permanência no LH, hematoma foi a complicação mais observada em ambos os grupos, ocorrendo em 12 (3%) pacientes do GI e 13 (4%) do GC (P=0,87). Sangramento ocorreu em 4 (1%) pacientes do GI e 6 (2%) do GC (P=0,51), e reação vasovagal em 5 (1,4%) pacientes do GI e 4 (1,1%) do GC (P=0,75). Em 24, 48 e 72 h, equimose foi a complicação mais relatada por ambos os grupos, seguida por dor no local da punção. Nenhuma das comparações revelou significância estatística entre os grupos. Conclusão: as resultados deste estudo demonstram que a redução do tempo de repouso para 3 horas após cateterismo cardíaco eletivo mostrou-se segura, não ocasionando um aumento de complicações quando comparada ao repouso de 5 horas. Registro Clinical Trials: NCT-01740856.
