ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To describe persistent symptoms and lung function in mild cases of COVID-19 six months after infection. METHODS: Data collection was performed through a semi-structured questionnaire containing information on the participants' demographic and anthropometric data, the disease in the acute phase, and persistent symptoms six months after COVID-19 using spirometry and manovacuometry. RESULTS: A total of 136 participants were evaluated, of whom 64% were male, with a mean age of 38.17 ± 14.08 years and a body mass index (BMI) of 29.71 ± 17.48 kg/m2. The main persistent symptoms reported were dyspnea on exertion (39.7%), memory loss (38.2%), and anxiety (48.5%). Considering lung function, the participants reached 88.87 ± 17.20% of the predicted forced vital capacity (FVC), 86.03 ± 22.01% of the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and 62.71 ± 25.04% of peak expiratory flow (PEF). Upon manovacuometry, 97.41 ± 34.67% of the predicted inspiratory force (Pimax) and 66.86 ± 22.97% of the predicted expiratory force (Pemax) were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Six months after COVID-19 infection, a reduction in PEF and MEP was observed. Among the most commonly reported persistent symptoms were fatigue, tiredness with the slightest exertion, anxiety and depression, memory loss, and deficits in concentration.

RESUMO Objetivos: Descrever os sintomas persistentes e a função pulmonar em casos leves de COVID-19 seis meses após a infecção. Métodos: A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de um questionário semiestruturado contendo informações sobre dados demográficos e antropométricos dos participantes, a doença na fase aguda e os sintomas persistentes seis meses após a COVID-19, utilizando espirometria e manovacuometria. Resultados: Um total de 136 participantes foram avaliados, dos quais 64% eram do sexo masculino, com uma idade média de 38,17 ± 14,08 anos e índice de massa corporal (IMC) de 29,71 ± 17,48 kg/m2. Os principais sintomas persistentes relatados foram dispneia ao esforço (39,7%), perda de memória (38,2%) e ansiedade (48,5%). Considerando a função pulmonar, os participantes atingiram 88,87 ± 17,20% da capacidade vital forçada (CVF) prevista, 86,03 ± 22,01% do volume expiratório forçado no primeiro segundo (VEF1) e 62,71 ± 25,04% do pico de fluxo expiratório (PFE). Na manovacuometria, observou-se 97,41 ± 34,67% da força inspiratória prevista (Pimáx) e 66,86 ± 22,97% da força expiratória prevista (Pemáx). Conclusões: Seis meses após a infecção por COVID-19, observou-se uma redução no PFE e na PEM. Dentre os sintomas persistentes mais comumente relatados estavam fadiga, cansaço com o mínimo esforço, ansiedade e depressão, perda de memória e déficits de concentração.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: conhecer o manejo do fisioterapeuta relacionado à ventilação protetora em pacientes com SDRA por COVID-19, listando as principais estratégias utilizadas e as barreiras encontradas para sua implementação. Métodos: estudo de campo transversal e descritivo, de caráter quantitativo, realizado no período de outubro de 2021 a abril de 2022, com fisioterapeutas de hospitais públicos e privados, na cidade de Fortaleza, que tivessem experiência com pacientes infectados pela COVID-19. Para coleta de dados, utilizou-se um formulário online viabilizado pela plataforma Google Forms. Os dados foram tabulados em planilha Microsoft Excel® 2010 e, posteriormente, transferido para o Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS®) 20.0, utilizando-se a estatística descritiva. Resultados: participaram 102 fisioterapeutas, 74,5% do gênero feminino. As principais estratégias de ventilação protetora citadas foram: volume corrente de 6 mL/Kg por peso predito, pressão de platô menor que 30 cmH2O e driving pressure menor que 15 cmH2O (93,1%), além da titulação de PEEP (68,6%) e posição prona (64,7%). Manter uma driving pressure menor que 15 cmH2O (57,8%) e discordância profissional (43,1%) foram as principais barreiras encontradas para realização da ventilação protetora. Conclusão: a ventilação protetora configura-se no uso de baixos volumes e pressões, titulação da PEEP e posição prona. A manutenção de driving pressure menor que 15 cmH2O e discordância entre os profissionais na tomada de decisão destacam-se como as principais barreiras.


Objectives: to know the management of the physiotherapist related to protective ventilation in patients with ARDS due to COVID-19, listing the main strategies used and the barriers encountered for their implementation. Methods: a cross-sectional and descriptive field study of quantitative nature, conducted from October 2021 to April 2022, with physiotherapists from public and private hospitals in the city of Fortaleza who had experience with patients infected with COVID-19. For data collection, an online form made possible by the Google Forms platform was used. The data was tabulated in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet® and then transferred to the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS®) using descriptive statistics. Findings: 102 physical therapists participated in the study, 74.5% female. The main protective ventilation strategies mentioned were: tidal volume of 6 mL/Kg by predicted weight, plateau pressure less than 30 cmH2O, and driving pressure less than 15 cmH2O (93.1%), in addition to PEEP titration (68.6%) and prone position (64.7%). Maintaining driving pressure of less than 15 cmH2O (57.8%) and professional disagreement (43.1%) were the main barriers found to performing protective ventilation. Conclusion: protective ventilation is configured in the use of low volumes and pressures, PEEP titration, and the prone position. The maintenance of driving pressure lower than 15 cmH2O and disagreement between professionals in the decision-making stand out as the main barriers

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: este estudo objetivou conhecer a vivência de fisioterapeutas com pacientes hospitalizados sob oxigenoterapia, bem como identificar os desafios vivenciados durante a sua intervenção. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo e transversal, realizado no período de setembro de 2021 a março de 2022, com fisioterapeutas atuantes em hospitais da cidade de Fortaleza-CE. A coleta de dados foi realizada de forma presencial e virtual pela plataforma Google Forms, por meio de um questionário com perguntas objetivas sobre vivência, intervenção e desafios durante assistência ao paciente sob oxigenoterapia. Os dados coletados foram armazenados no Microsoft Excel® 2010 e analisados pelo SPSS® versão 20.0, utilizando-se de estatística descritiva. Resultados: participaram do estudo 101 fisioterapeutas, 76,2% do gênero feminino, e 45,5% dos participantes eram graduados há 5 anos. Destes, 83,2% dos fisioterapeutas afirmaram que SpO2 < 90% é indicativo de oxigenoterapia. A maioria (79,2%) discordou da utilização da máscara de Venturi para pacientes com Covid-19 e apontou a cânula nasal de alto fluxo (39,6%) e a máscara reservatório não reinalante (40,6%) como as mais utilizadas. Entre os desafios enfrentados durante a assistência, a interação com a equipe interdisciplinar (25,70%), o desmame da oxigenoterapia (21,80%) e a indisponibilidade de recursos (20,80%) foram os mais relatados. Conclusão: grande parte dos profissionais atua indicando o oxigênio suplementar em situações em que há SaO2 < 90%, realizando avaliação à beira leito da cânula nasal de alto fluxo por meio do índice ROX e indicando intervenção fisioterapêutica.


Objective: this study aimed to understand the experience of physiotherapists with patients hospitalized under oxygen therapy, as well as to identify the challenges experienced during their intervention. Methods: it was a quantitative and cross-sectional study conducted from September 2021 to March 2022, with physiotherapists working in hospitals in Fortaleza-CE. Data collection was performed in person and virtually through the Google Forms platform, through a questionnaire with objective questions about experience, intervention, and challenges during care to patients under oxygen therapy. The collected data were stored in Microsoft Excel® 2010 and analyzed by SPSS® version 20.0, using descriptive statistics. Results: the study included 101 physical therapists, 76.2% female, and 45.5% of the participants had graduated for five years. Of these, 83.2% of physical therapists stated that SpO2 < 90% is indicative of oxygen therapy. The majority (79.2%) disagreed with the use of the venturi mask for patients with Covid-19 and pointed to the high-flow nasal cannula (39.6%) and the non-reinlantreservoir mask (40.6%) as the most used. Among the challenges faced during care, interaction with the interdisciplinary team (25.70%), weaning from oxygen therapy (21.80%), and unavailability of resources (20.80%) was the most reported. Conclusion: most professionals indicate supplemental oxygen in situations where SaO2 < 90%, perform an evaluation at the bedside of the high-flow nasal cannula from the ROX index and suggest physiotherapeutic intervention.
