Post-operative pain management by nurses in an intensive care unit: a best practice implementation project.

INTRODUCTION: Post-operative pain is the most prevalent type of acute pain. Nurses are the health care professionals who most frequently assess pain, as well as evaluating the patient's response to pain management treatment and monitoring for the occurrence of adverse events. Thus, to improve outcomes and quality of care, the interventions used by nurses should be based on best practices. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this project was to implement best practices in post-operative pain management in an intensive care unit. METHODS: This evidence implementation project was conducted in a hospital for the surgical treatment of orthopedic diseases and trauma. The project followed the JBI evidence implementation framework. The project used JBI PACES software as well as JBI's Getting Research into Practice (GRiP) audit and feedback tools to develop eight audit criteria for the baseline and follow-up audits. RESULTS: The baseline audit showed that criteria 3 and 6 had low compliance, with few patients having documented plans and goals, and receiving multimodal analgesia in the ICU, respectively. Criteria 7 and 8, which assessed the use of opioids and follow-up by a pain specialist, revealed compliance of 60% and 50%, respectively. Criterion 3 improved from 0% to 20%. Criteria 6, 7, and 8 also improved, rising to 30%, 22.8%, and 50%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The project improved compliance with best practices in post-operative pain management. Further studies are needed to ensure the project's long-term sustainability.

Risk management and safety in the use of patient-controlled analgesia pumps: a scoping review / Gestão de risco e segurança no uso de bomba de analgesia controlada pelo paciente: revisão de escopo

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is effective in controlling pain, but has numerous associated risks, such as: hypotension, respiratory depression, seizures and excessive sedation. The promotion of patient safety aims to reduce the risk of unnecessary health injuries and, therefore, it is important to analyze the failures and risk factors present throughout the process proactively. Therefore, the aim of this study was to map the available evidence on the risks of adverse events associated with the PCA technique and patient safety actions. CONTENTS: This is a scoping review conducted according to the JBI methodology, whose research question was based on the PCC strategy. The source of information is open and the search occurred in three stages. The databases used were: Medline/Pubmed; LILACS; CINAHL/ EBSCOhost; CENTRAL; Portal Capes; SCOPUS; Web of Science; Google academic; Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations; Portal NICE; and Portal ISMP. The search strategy was divided into 3 stages: the first occurred in Medline and Cinahl to identify articles and index terms on the topic; the second used all keywords in all included databases; the third consisted of tracking searches in the reference lists of the included studies. The search resulted in 1,164 studies, of which 83 were selected based on the inclusion criteria: addressing the risks associated with the PCA pump or safety measures, hospital context, without restriction as to the type of study, language, and year. The studies are distributed in categories: previous diseases, profile of indications, types of opioids, types of pump and infusion, adverse effects, incidents without harm, stages of risk, and safety measures. CONCLUSION: This study made it possible to identify the risks of adverse events associated with the use of PCA in different stages and safety actions, demonstrating that when performed with appropriate patients, trained staff, safe devices, and correct prescription it provides a statistically significant improvement in pain relief, safely with advantages that conventional analgesia does not have.

RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A analgesia controlada pelo paciente (ACP) é eficaz no controle da dor, porém apresenta inúmeros riscos associados, tais como: hipotensão arterial, depressão respiratória, convulsões e sedação excessiva. A promoção da segurança do paciente visa reduzir o risco de lesões desnecessárias à saúde e, para tanto, é importante analisar as falhas e fatores de risco presentes em todo o processo de forma proativa. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi mapear as evidências disponíveis sobre os riscos de eventos adversos associados à técnica de ACP e a ações de segurança do paciente. CONTEÚDO: Trata-se de uma revisão de escopo realizada segundo a metodologia Joanna Briggs Institute para Scoping Reviews, cuja questão de pesquisa se baseou na estratégia PCC (P: população; C: conceito; C: contexto). As bases de dados utilizadas foram: Medline/Pubmed, LILACS, CINAHL/EBSCOhost, CENTRAL, Portal Capes, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Google acadêmico, Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações, Portal NICE, Portal ISMP. A estratégia de busca foi dividida em 3 etapas: a primeira ocorreu na Medline e Cinahl para identificar artigos e termos de índice sobre o tema; a segunda utilizou todas as palavras-chaves em todas as bases de dados incluídas; a terceira consistiu no rastreamento de pesquisas nas listas de referências dos estudos incluídos. A busca resultou em 1.164 estudos, dos quais 83 foram selecionados com base nos seguintes critérios de inclusão: abordagem dos riscos associados à bomba de ACP ou a medidas de segurança, contexto hospitalar, sem restrição quanto ao tipo de estudo, idioma e ano. Os achados sintetizados estão distribuídos em categorias: doenças prévias, perfil das indicações, tipos de opioides, tipos de bomba e de infusão, efeitos adversos, incidentes sem lesões, estágios de risco e medidas de segurança. CONCLUSÃO: Este estudo possibilitou identificar os riscos de eventos adversos associados ao uso da ACP em diferentes estágios e ações de segurança, demonstrando que quando realizada com pacientes adequados, com equipe treinada, dispositivos seguros e prescrição correta, fornece uma melhora estatisticamente significativa no alívio da dor, de forma segura e com vantagens que a analgesia convencional não possui.

Basic Human Needs in the Elderly Receiving Palliative Care: A Scoping Review.

Purpose: This scoping review identified scientific evidence on basic human needs (BHNs) in the elderly receiving palliative care. Methods: Systematic searches were conducted using six electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Lilacs, IBECS, and Web of Science). The initial search resulted in 1,227 articles, of which 104 were identified as potentially relevant. Fifty-three articles that met the inclusion criteria were identified and included in the final analysis. Results: Using the three hierarchical dimensions of the BHN model, 17 needs were organised, with five in the psychobiological dimension, 10 in the psychosocial dimension, and two in the psychospiritual dimension. These needs reflect the importance of care with dignity and relief from suffering for the elderly in palliative care. Conclusion: Recognising impaired BHNs in elderly people receiving palliative care will contribute to better care plans for the elderly, considering the multiple bio-psycho-social-spiritual dimensions of BHNs. This review points to a predominance of psychosocial needs.

Self-efficacy and fear of pain to movement in chronic low back pain: an intervention developed by nurses.

OBJECTIVE: To test the effect of interventions to chronic low back pain developed by nurses in the Program to Increase Self-efficacy and Reduce the Fear of Pain and Avoidance of Movement. METHOD: Clinical trial, with 81 patients, carried out in 2016, at the Pain Outpatient Clinic in São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil. The groups received: A (education and exposure), B (education) and C (control). Chi-square, Fisher's Exact, ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis tests were performed. RESULTS: Patients in groups A and B improved self-efficacy, anxiety, depression, and disability, compared to group C. The reduction in fear of pain and avoidance of movement was greater in Group A, which also showed a decrease in current pain and overall scores compared to Group B and C. CONCLUSION: Education was effective in increasing the Self-Efficacy Belief. For the Belief of Fear of Pain and Avoidance of Movement and pain intensity, the association with exposure showed better results.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Published Literature in Postoperative Pain in Elderly Patients in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.

Postoperative pain (POP) remains a major challenge for surgeons and anesthesiologists worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Elderly patients are at higher risk for undertreatment of pain. Despite that, there is a paucity of papers addressing POP among this population in developing countries. This study aimed to provide a bibliometric analysis of the literature concerning postoperative pain in elderly patients from low- and middle-income countries. It was performed an extensive search of papers on this subject through the Web of Science and Scopus database using a series of uniterms and, including publications from 2001 to 2021. Publication quality was assessed by using total citation frequency, average citations per item and other citation indexes. Citation indexes were low, with the highest reaching 15 citations. In conclusion, few studies of postoperative pain in the elderly in countries with medium and low income, indicating a need that has not yet been met for this population and in these areas of the world. The published studies were not specifically aimed at the elderly, had limited impact, low international visibility. They were not epidemiological studies and are not robust, weakening knowledge and decision-making towards policies directed at this vulnerable population.

The use of guarana (Paullinia cupana) as a dietary supplement for fatigue in cancer patients: a systematic review with a meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study was to carry out a systematic review with a meta-analysis to assess evidence about the use of guarana fruit to manage fatigue in cancer patients. METHODOLOGY: The data were extracted from the EMBASE, Scopus, MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and CINAHL databases, in any language, using the descriptors "neoplasms" and "Paullinia" or "guarana powder" and "placebos" and "fatigue". Searches were also conducted to identify any grey literature. Clinical studies with patients who presented cancer-related fatigue as a primary outcome and who used guarana as a dietary supplement were included. The risk of bias in randomized clinical trials was analyzed according to the Cochrane recommendations. The quality of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE system. For studies with the same types of tumors and treatments, meta-analysis was also conducted. RESULTS: A total of 383 studies were found and, of these, seven were included in the review, for a total of 427 cancer patients. The instruments used to analyze fatigue were the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), the Chalder Fatigue Scale, the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-FATIGUE), and the Piper Scale. Some studies presented a low risk of bias for all the categories. Meta-analysis was conducted for three studies about breast cancer, which presented sufficient data. The use of guarana did not reduce cancer-related fatigue compared with placebo groups (mean of - 0.02 [95% CI - 1.54, 1.50]; p = 0.98) and the quality of evidence according to GRADE was very low. CONCLUSION: Dietary supplements are used to improve cancer-related fatigue. The results of this review showed that the use of guarana was not superior to the placebo groups, pointing to the need for further studies with better methodological quality.

Método de revisión: Se trata de un protocolo de revisión exploratoria según el método del Instituto Joanna Briggs, donde en la definición de participantes, concepto y contexto (PCC) se incluirán como participantes, pacientes cardíacos con diferentes enfermedades cardiovasculares; como concepto, juegos educativos para la evaluación de la conducta de autocuidado, y como contexto, estudios realizados a nivel ambulatorio. Para ello, se consultarán bases indexadas como MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS, ERIC, Cochrane Library, JBI Connect y literatura gris. La extracción y la síntesis de los datos las realizarán revisores independientes. Presentación e interpretación de los resultados: La narración, las tablas y los gráficos marcarán la presentación e interpretación de los resultados. Conclusión: La expectativa es un resultado consolidado sobre los juegos educativos para la evaluación del comportamiento de autocuidado en los pacientes cardíacos.

Chronic Pain Management during the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Scoping Review.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has led caregivers to modify patient healthcare, with a high impact on patients with chronic pain. AIMS: To map recommendations for the management of chronic pain patients during the COVID-19 pandemic and propose a workflow for the management of these patients. DESIGN: This was a scoping review. METHODS: The databases searched were PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and LILACS. The studies were examined by two independent reviewers. The disagreements between reviewers were resolved through discussion or with a third reviewer. RESULTS: We presented the results in the form of a table, a workflow, and a narrative summary. The search resulted in 13 studies selected for full reading, including one consensus, five guidance documents, two expert panels, one joint statement, two educational flyers, and two free comments. We considered new technologies, including telemedicine. Each pain service needs to establish a screening model, classifying patients according to corresponding severity. Particular attention should be given to patients who use opioids and are at risk of misusing them. Nonpharmacological approaches and pain education should be maintained, considering the use of telehealth. CONCLUSIONS: Recommendations for the management of chronic pain during COVID-19 include adjustments to the patient care model. The workflow proposes the use of telemedicine, screening for painful intensity, and the use of color-signaled intervention packages according to severity (green, yellow, and red).
