ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the epidemiological profile of patients with vertebral trauma treated at a medical reference center at the state of Pará, Northern Brazil. Methods A quantitative and retrospective study conducted at Hospital Metropolitano de Urgência e Emergência (HMUE) in Ananindeua, Northern Brazil, from January 2020 to March 2020, using medical records of patients admitted to the hospital from January 2018 to December 2019. Results Data from 270 medical records from the orthopedic and trauma sector of the hospital were analyzed. Conclusion The predominant profile was male patients, aged between 20 and 29 years, with low social conditions, presenting compressive lesions of lumbar vertebrae, submitted to conservative intervention, with hospital stays of 8 to 30 days, and evolving to complete recovery without sequelae. Level of evidence II; Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the processes of brain death diagnosis and organ donation in a reference trauma center. METHODS: Observational and cross-sectional study with patients notified with brain death at a reference trauma center. Data were obtained through the collection of medical records and brain death declaration forms. RESULTS: One hundred fity-nine patients were notified with brain death, mostly male (82.6%), young adults (97.61%) and victims of brain traumatic injury (93.7%). Median of the total time interval for the diagnosis of brain death was 20.75 hours, with no difference between organ donors and non-donors. We had excessive time intervals on brain death declaration, but without statistical effect on organ donation numbers. CONCLUSION: We had low efficacy in brain death declaration based on longer time intervals, with no impact on organ donation.

RESUMO Objetivo Caracterizar os processos de diagnóstico de morte encefálica e doação de órgãos em um centro de referência de trauma. Métodos Estudo observacional e transversal com pacientes notificados com morte encefálica em um centro de referência de trauma. Os dados foram obtidos por meio da coleta de prontuários e formulários de declaração de morte encefálica. Resultados Foram notificados com morte encefálica 159 pacientes, com prevalência do sexo masculino (82,6%), adultos jovens (97,61%) e vítimas de traumatismo craniencefálico (93,7%). A mediana do intervalo total de tempo para o diagnóstico de morte encefálica foi de 20,75 horas, sem diferença entre doadores de órgãos e não doadores. Tivemos intervalos de tempo excessivos na declaração de morte encefálica, mas sem efeito estatístico no número de doações de órgãos. Conclusão Foi baixa a eficácia na declaração de morte encefálica com base em intervalos de tempo mais longos, sem impacto na doação de órgãos.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Neuropathic pain is a chronic syndrome that is difficult to treat and often affects patients with leprosy. Recommended treatment includes the the use of analgesic drugs, codeine, tricyclic antidepressants, neuroleptics, anticonvulsants and thalidomide, but without consensus on uniform dose and fully satisfactory results. To analyze botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) effectiveness in treatment of chronic neuropathic pain in refractory leprous patients, as well as evaluate and compare the quality of life of patients before and after using the medication. METHODS: We used a specific protocol including clinical, demographic, DN4 protocol, analogue scale (VAS), sensory evaluation and evaluation of the WHOQOL-BREF. Therapeutic intervention was performed with BOTOX® BTX-A 100U administered subcutaneously. Fifteen patients were evaluated on days 0, 10 and 60. RESULTS: Patients on VAS showed pain between 5 and 10, in one case there was complete pain relief in 60 days, while others showed improvement in the first week with the return of symptoms with less intensity after this period. WHOQOL-BREF's domains Quality of Life and Physical to have a significant increase in QOL. CONCLUSION: BoNT-A proved to be a good therapeutic option in relieving pain with improved quality of life for these patients.

RESUMO A dor neuropática é uma síndrome crônica que é difícil de tratar e freqüentemente afeta pacientes com hanseníase. O tratamento recomendado inclui o uso de drogas analgésicas, codeína, antidepressivos tricíclicos, neurolépticos, anticonvulsivantes e talidomida, mas sem consenso sobre dose uniforme e resultados plenamente satisfatórios. Objetivo: Busca-se analisar a efetividade da toxina botulínica tipo A no tratamento da dor neuropática crônica hansênica refratária. Método: Estudo de intervenção do tipo ensaio clínico em portadores de dor neuropática crônica hansênica. Foram coletados dados epidemiológicos, protocolo DN4, escala analógica da dor (EVA), avaliação sensitiva, motora a avaliação do WHOQOL-Bref. Realizado intervenção terapêutica com toxina botulínica tipo A 100U. Os pacientes foram avaliados nos dias de 0, 10 e 60. A dor neuropática foi mais frequente no sexo masculino, na faixa etária de 40 à 49 anos. Resultados: Da forma Dimorfa, multibacilar com baciloscopia positiva e incapacidades presentes. Os escores EVA variam entre 5 e 10, todos os pacientes apresentaram alterações sensoriais. O WHOQOL-Bref apresentou melhora após o tratamento com TxBA. A TxBA foi bem tolerada o único efeito adverso notável foi dor leve. E com apenas uma única aplicação de TxBA promoveu efeitos analgésicos a longo prazo em pacientes com dor associada à alodinia, sugerindo que a analgesia observada pode ser causada por um efeito periférico da TxBA em terminações nociceptivas. Conclusão: O estudo sugere que a TxBA é uma boa opção para os casos de dor neuropática crônica hansênica, no entanto, novos estudos são necessários para confirmar estes resultados.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: descrever pacientes com dor neuropática crônica hansênica, diagnóstico, nervos acometidos, formas clínicas, alterações motoras e sensitivas com ênfase no diagnóstico e na resposta ao tratamento da dor neuropática crônica, utilizando toxina botulínica tipo A (TxBA). MÉTODO: foram descritos 04 pacientes hansenianos, portadores de dor neuropática crônica. Utilizou-se protocolo específico incluindo dados clínicos, demográficos, protocolo DN4, escala analógica da dor (EVA), avaliação sensitiva e motora eeletroneuromiografia. Realizada intervenção terapêutica com toxina botulínica tipo A, 100U da marca comercial BOTOX®, administrada por via sub-cutânea na área de com-prometimento neural. Os pacientes foram avaliados nos período de 0, 15, 45, e 60 dias. RESULTADOS: escores de DN4 variaram entre7 e 9, Escala EVA entre 8 e 10, todos os pacientes apresentaram alterações sensoriais, motoras e eletroneuromiograficas. Em 03 casos observou-se alívio completo da dor no período de 15 dias, e retorno dos sintomas em menor intensidade após este período, 01 caso ocorreu melhora da clínica após 45 dias da aplicação. Não foram ob-servados efeitos adversos à medicação. CONCLUSÃO: os pacientes apresentavam dor neuropática de alta intensidade, contínua, persistente e refratária ao tratamento habitual. O uso de TxBA mostrou-se como boa opção terapêutica no alívio do quadro doloroso, com melhora na qualidade de vida desses pacientes.


OBJECTIVE: to describe patients with chronic neuropathic pain leprosy, its diagnosis, afflicted nerves, clinical for-ms, motor and sensory alterations with emphasis on the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain using botulinum toxin. METHODOLOGY: 04 leprosy patients with chronic neuropathic pain deriving from the Tropical Medicine Nucleus and UEPA Health Center School will be described. Specific protocol was used including clinical, demographic, DN4 protocol, visual analog scale (EVA), sensory and motor assessment and electroneuromyography. It was performed a therapeutic intervention with botulinum toxin type A 100U of BOTOX® trademark, administered subcutaneously in the area of neural commitment. Patients were evaluated in the period of 0, 15, 45, and 60 days after application. RE-SULTS: the DN4 results varied between 7 to 9, EVA between 8 and 10, all patients had sensory changes, motor and electroneuromyography in the territory of the affected nerve. In 03 cases it was observed complete pain relief within 15 days and return of symptoms of lower intensity after this period, 01 case of clinical improvement occurred after 45 days of application. No adverse drug effects were observed. CONCLUSION: the patients presented a high intensity neuropathic pain, it was continuous, persistent and refractory to the usual treatment. The use of TxBA showed up as a good therapeutic option in relieving pain condition, with better quality of life this patients.
