RESUMO
OBJETIVO: É comum a obtenção de acesso venoso femoral em pacientes submetidos a cirurgia cardíaca em associação ou como alternativa ao acesso superior (veia jugular interna ou veia subclávia). O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar as medidas de pressão venosa central (PVC) em dois sítios diferentes (superior vs. femoral). MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo e aberto com 60 pacientes submetidos a cirurgia cardíaca no período de julho a novembro de 2006. Foram obtidas três medidas de cada paciente em cada sítio (admissão, 6 e 12 horas após a cirurgia) em duas inclinações diferentes da cabeceira do leito (zero e 30 graus), totalizando 720 medidas. RESULTADOS: Cinqüenta e cinco por cento dos pacientes foram submetidos a revascularização do miocárdio, 38 por cento a cirurgia valvar e 7 por cento a outras cirurgias. A média de PVC ± desvio padrão (DP) medida no acesso superior foi de 13,0 ± 5,5 mmHg (zero grau) e 13,3 ± 6,1 mmHg (30 graus), enquanto que as medidas no acesso inferior foram 11,1 ± 4,9 mmHg (zero grau) e 13,7 ± 4,6 mmHg (30 graus). A correlação linear (r) entre as medidas nos dois sítios foi de 0,66 (zero grau) e 0,53 (30 graus), ambas com p < 0,0001. CONCLUSÃO: A PVC pode ser medida com acurácia no acesso venoso femoral no pós-operatório imediato de cirurgia cardíaca, com melhor correlação linear obtida com as medidas feitas com a cabeceira do leito posicionada em zero grau.
OBJECTIVE: It is common to obtain femoral venous approach in patients undergoing combined heart surgery or as an alternative to superior approach (internal jugular vein or subclavian vein). The aim of this study was to compare the measures of central venous pressure (CVP) at two different sites (superior versus femoral). METHODS: We prospectively and openly allocated 60 patients who underwent heart surgery between July from November 2006. Three measures were obtained from each patient at each site (admission, 6 and 12 hours after surgery) in two different inclinations of the headboard (zero and 30 degrees) totaling 720 measures. RESULTS: Fifty five percent of patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting, 38 percent heart valve surgery and 7 percent other surgeries. The mean of CVP ± standard deviation (SD) measured in superior approach was 13.0 ± 5.5 mmHg (zero degree) and 13.3 ± 6.1 mmHg (30 degrees) while the measures in inferior approach were 11.1 ± 4.9 mmHg (zero degree) and 13.7 ± 4.6 mmHg (30 degrees). The linear correlation (r) between the measures in both sites was 0.66 (zero degree) and 0.53 (30 degrees), both with p value<0.0001. CONCLUSION: The CVP can be measured with accuracy in the femoral venous approach in the immediate postoperative period of heart surgery with better linear correlation obtained with the measures made with the headboard positioned at zero degree.
