Development, reliability, and validity of the mobility assessment scale in hospitalized patients (HMob).

BACKGROUND: Existing mobility scales for hospitalized patients do not include assessment of tasks for the right and left side, ability to transfer from sitting to lying and from standing to sitting, ability to climbing steps and pick up an object from the floor in the same instrument. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the reliability and validity of the hospital mobility assessment scale (HMob) according to the Consensus-based standards for the selection of health measurement instruments (COSMIN). METHODS: Study conducted in three inpatient units (cardiology, neurology, and gastrohepatology) and one adult intensive care unit in a hospital. Patients of both sexes were included; age >18 years; collaborative and who obeyed commands, with different medical diagnoses and clinical release to leave their bed (provided by the doctor). Special populations such as those with burns and orthopedics were excluded. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 130 patients; 20 from the pilot study and 110 to assess the clinimetric properties of the HMob. Cronbach alpha coefficient was 0.949. Relative intra- (A1-A2) and inter-rater (A1-B; A2-B) reliability was excellent (A1-A2: ICC = 0.982, p-value < 0.0001; A1-B: ICC = 0.993, p-value < 0.0001; A2-B: ICC = 0.986, p-value < 0.0001.) The convergent criterion validity of HMob in relation to the ICU Functional Status Score was 0.967 (p-value < 0.0001) and for Functional Independence measure (MIF) was 0.926 (p-value < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: The HMob scale showed excellent internal consistency, intra- and inter-rater reliability, and concurrent validity in the motor domain, which suggests that it can be used in daily practice to measure mobility in hospitalized patients.

Effects of exercise interventions on functioning and health-related quality of life following hospital discharge for recovery from critical illness: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials.

OBJECTIVE: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to analyze the published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the effects of exercise interventions on functioning and health-related quality of life following hospital discharge for recovery from critical illness. DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs. DATA SOURCES: We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PEDro data base, and SciELO (from the earliest date available to January 2023) for RCTs that evaluated the effects of physical rehabilitation interventions following hospital discharge for recovery from critical illness. REVIEW METHODS: Study quality was evaluated using the PEDro Scale. Mean differences (MDs), standard MDs (SMD), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. RESULTS: Fourteen studies met the study criteria, including 1259 patients. Exercise interventions improved aerobic capacity SMD 0.2 (95% CI: 0.03-0.3, I2 = 0% N = 880, nine studies, high-quality evidence), and physical component score of health-related quality of life MD 3.3 (95% CI: 1.0-5.6, I2 = 57%, six studies N = 669, moderate-quality evidence). In addition, a significant reduction in depression was observed MD -1.4 (95% CI: -2.7 to -0.1, I2 = 0% N = 148, three studies, moderate-quality evidence). No serious adverse events were reported. CONCLUSION: Exercise intervention was associated with improvement of aerobic capacity, depression, and physical component score of health-related quality of life after hospital discharge for survivors of critical illness.

Comparison of High-Intensity Interval Training to Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training for Functioning and Quality of Life in Survivors of COVID-19 (COVIDEX): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) for feasibility, safety, adherence, and short- and long-term efficacy in improving functioning and health-related quality of life in survivors of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). METHODS: COVIDEX is a two-pronged, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial with an 8-week training intervention. The study participants will be 94 patients aged >18 years, admitted to a specialized post-COVID center. Participants will be randomized to HIIT (4 × 4 minutes of high-intensity work periods at 85% to 90% of peak heart rate) and MICT (47 minutes at 70% to 75% peak heart rate) groups for biweekly sessions for 8 weeks. The participants will undergo 2 phases of supervised training (phases 1 and 2) of 4 weeks each, in a public, specialized, post-COVID center. In phase 1, we will assess and compare the feasibility, acceptability, and short-term efficacy of HIIT and MICT intervention. In phase 2, the long-term efficacy of HIIT and MICT will be assessed and compared regarding function and health-related quality of life. To prevent any expectation bias, all study participants and assessors will be blinded to the study hypotheses. Group allocation will be masked during the analysis. All statistical analyses will be conducted following intention-to-treat principles. IMPACT: This study is the first randomized controlled trial that will compare the feasibility, safety, adherence, and efficacy of the HIIT and MICT intervention programs in this population. The findings will potentially provide important information and assist in clinical decision making on exercise to optimize the benefits of clinical health care in survivors of COVID-19.

Effects of ventilator hyperinflation on pulmonary function and secretion clearance in adults receiving mechanical ventilation: A systematic review with meta-analysis.

INTRODUCTION: It is important to clarify the effect of ventilator hyperinflation(VHI) on pulmonary function and secretion clearance in adults receiving mechanical ventilation(MV). There is no published meta-analysis on the effects VHI on pulmonary function and secretion clearance in adults receiving MV. Objective Analyze the published randomized clinical trials(RCTs) that investigated the effects of VHI on pulmonary function and secretion clearance in adults receiving MV, comparing VHI with isolated aspiration, VHI with manual hyperinflation(MHI), VHI +vibrocompression(VB) versus VB and VHI+VB versus isolated aspiration. METHODS: The following databases PubMed, LILACS, EMBASE, SciELO, PEDro database and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were consulted up to December 2021. Secretion clearance, static and dynamic compliance of the respiratory system(Cstat and Cdyn), airway resistance(Raw) and oxygenation outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS: Thirteen studies met the study criteria, but only 12 studies were included on meta-analysis. There was no difference between VHI versus isolated aspiration for amount of secretions removed(0.41 SMD; 95% CI: -0.08 to 0.89; n=270), VHI versus MHI(0.51 grams; 95% CI: -0.08 to 1.11; n=256), VHI+VB versus VB(0.31 grams; 95% CI: -0.42 to 1.05; n=130) and VHI+VB versus isolated aspiration(0.54 grams; 95% CI: -0.06 to 1.14; n=132). There was difference for VHI versus isolated aspiration to Cstat (4.77 ml/cm H2O; 95% CI: 2.41 to 7.14; n= 136). CONCLUSION: Taking into account all studies included in meta-analysis, no evidences was found that VHI was effective in increasing the amount of secretions removed, Cdyn and oxygenation, but VHI seems to show a slight improvement in Cstat when compared to isolated aspiration. No evidence was found that VHI was effective in increasing the amount of secretions removed, Cdyn and oxygenation, but VHI seems to show a slight improvement in Cstat when compared to isolated aspiration.

Effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on exercise capacity, muscle strength and quality of life in COPD patients: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on disabilities and activity limitation of individuals affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, PEDro database, Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, and SciELO, were searched from inception until October 2021. REVIEW METHODS: Inclusion criteria were patients with COPD, randomized controlled trials comparing neuromuscular electrical stimulation alone or combined conventional pulmonary rehabilitation and neuromuscular electrical stimulation versus control or sham or pulmonary rehabilitation in disabilities and activity limitation in COPD. There were no mandatory language or publication date restrictions. Two reviewers selected studies independently. Weighted mean differences and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Results 32 studies met the study criteria, including 1.269 participants. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation improved exercise capacity (MD 1.10, 95% CI: 0.33, 1.86, N = 147), and muscle strength (0.53, 95% CI: 0.20, 0.87, N = 147) compared to sham group. Combined neuromuscular electrical stimulation and conventional rehabilitation improved exercise capacity (MD 34.28 meters, 95% CI: 6.84, 61.73, N = 262) compared to conventional rehabilitation alone. No adverse events were reported. CONCLUSIONS: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation resulted in small improvement in disabilities and activity limitation (below the MCID) in COPD. Thus, the inclusion of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in rehabilitation programs must consider the cost Because of inadequate methodological conduction and reporting of methods, some studies were of low quality.

Avaliação da independência funcional e da qualidade de vida após a alta da unidade de terapia intensiva: um estudo do coorte prospectivo / Evaluation of functional independence and quality of life after discharge of intensive care unit: a prospective cohort study

INTRODUÇÃO: Os pacientes criticamente doentes podem sofrer alterações funcionais, sociais e mentais, incluindo deficiência de conhecimento, memória e concentração após a admissão na unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI) e alta hospitalar. Apesar do conhecimento sobre o impacto da internação hospitalar na funcionalidade e qualidade de vida, ainda há pouco reconhecimento na literatura sobre este impacto a longo prazo. OBJETIVO: Verificar a independência funcional e a qualidade de vida (QOL) em pacientes acima de 1 ano após a alta da Unidade de Tratamento Intensivo (UTI). MÉTODOS: Este é um estudo de coorte prospectivo, foram admitidos na UTI e sob ventilação mecânica por mais de 48 horas, até 24 horas após a alta da UTI, acima de 18 anos de idade, de ambos os sexos e que concordaram em participar do estudo. Foram excluídos aqueles com sequelas neurológicas e traumas recorrentes que impossibilitavam a avaliação funcional. As variáveis independência funcional (Medida de Independência Funcional - FIM) e QOL foram medidas utilizando o questionário do formulário curto 36 (SF-36) no momento da alta da UTI (período I), 30 dias (período II), e 1 ano após (período III). RESULTADOS: 33 pacientes foram incluídos no estudo com uma idade média de 49,13±16,3 anos, e a principal causa de hospitalização foi distúrbios neurológicos, dos quais 5(14,70%) morreram, e dois não completaram as avaliações, resultando em um total de 26 pacientes avaliados 1 ano após a alta. A duração da internação na UTI (dias) foi de 16 (7 - 22) e o tempo de ventilação mecânica (dias) foi de 8,5 (2 - 13). Dez pacientes lá foram diagnosticados com sepse. Foram encontrados os seguintes valores nesses três momentos para as variáveis IF (I-51 [47-64,5]; II-80[59,5-108]; III104[82,8-123]) e QOL(I-67,4[57,3-81,1]; II-80,2[70,1-99,2]; III-93,5[88,5-96,5]). A independência funcional e QOL aumentou significativamente entre os momentos II e III, em comparação com os momentos I (p <0,05), sem diferença na comparação do período II em relação ao III. CONCLUSÃO: Os pacientes recuperam sua funcionalidade e qualidade de vida após trinta dias de alta da UTI. Entretanto, a funcionalidade e a qualidade de vida deste paciente não mudam após 1 ano de alta da UTI em relação ao período de 30 dias após a alta da UTI.

INTRODUCTION: Critically ill patients may experience functional, social, and mental changes, including impaired cognition, memory, and concentration after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital discharge. Despite the knowledge about the impact of the hospital stay on functionality and quality of life, there is still little recognition in the literature of this impact in the long term. OBJECTIVE: To verify functional independence and quality of life (QOL) in patients over 1 year after discharge from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). METHODS: This is a prospective cohort study, were admitted to the ICU and under mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours, up to 24 hours after discharge from the ICU, over 18 years of age, of both sexes and who agreed to participate in the study. Those with neurological sequelae and recurrent trauma that made functional assessment impossible were excluded. Functional independence (Functional Independence Measure-FIM) and QOL variables were measured using the Short Form 36 questionnaire (SF-36) at the time of discharge from the ICU (period I), 30 days (period II), and 1 year after (period III). RESULTS: 33 patients were included in the study with a mean age of 49.13±16.3, and the main cause of hospitalization was neurological disorders, of which 5 (14.70%) died, and two did not complete the evaluations, resulting in a total of 26 patients evaluated 1 year after discharge. The length of ICU stay (days) was 16 (7 - 22) and the Mechanical Ventilation time (days) was 8,5 (2 - 13). Ten patients there were diagnosed with sepsis. The following values over these three moments were found for the variables IF (I-51 [47­64.5]; II-80[59.5­108]; III-104[82.8-123]) and QOL(I­67.4[57.3­81.1]; II-80.2[70.1­99.2]; III­93.5[88.5­ 96.5]). Functional independence and QOL increased significantly between moments II and III compared to moments I (p <0.05), with no difference, when comparing period II in relation to III. CONCLUSION: Patients recover their functionality and quality of life after thirty days of discharge from the ICU. However, this patient's functionality and quality of life do not change after 1 year of discharge from the ICU in relation to the period of 30 days after discharge from the ICU.

Avaliação da segurança e viabilidade do protocolo de sentar-levantar observando os efeitos hemodinâmicos agudos em idosos hospitalizados / Assessment of the safety and feasibility of the sit-up protocol observing acute hemodynamic effects in hospitalized elderly

Introdução: o processo de envelhecimento associado à hospitalização prolongada gera diminuição de massa e de força muscular dos membros inferiores, sendo necessárias intervenções para minimizar esses efeitos deletérios, como o treinamento de sentar-levantar. Este treinamento utiliza o peso do próprio corpo e é um movimento essencial para a manutenção da independência funcional. As respostas cardiovasculares agudas estão relacionadas com a segurança desta atividade, por isso é imprescindível a monitorização constante. Objetivo: avaliar a segurança e a viabilidade da realização do protocolo de sentar-levantar, observando os efeitos hemodinâmicos agudos em idosos hospitalizados. Metodologia: em uma amostra composta de idosos com estabilidade clínica, realizou-se um protocolo de sentar-levantar progressivo, com oito níveis em apenas uma sessão. Avaliaram-se variáveis hemodinâmicas, como pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica, pressão arterial média, frequência cardíaca e duplo produto, em repouso e após 1 min, 10 min e 30 min, sendo analisados e comparados médias e desvio-padrão. Resultados: observou-se um leve aumento nas variáveis pressão arterial sistólica, na frequência cardíaca e duplo produto, com normalização nos minutos seguintes ao protocolo. A pressão arterial diastólica e a arterial média apresentaram uma discreta diminuição no decorrer das mensurações. Observaram-se poucos eventos adversos na amostra, os quais foram solucionados após o repouso. Houve significância estatística entre a maior parte das variáveis, porém não houve significância clínica. Conclusão: o protocolo de sentarlevantar é viável e seguro em idosos hospitalizados, desde que seja realizado de acordo com os critérios de elegibilidade e monitorados.

Introduction: the aging process associated with prolonged hospitalization generates a decrease in muscle mass and strength in the lower limbs, requiring interventions to minimize these harmful effects, such as sit-to-stand training. This training uses the body's own weight and is an essential movement for the maintenance of functional independence. Acute cardiovascular responses are related to the safety of this activity, so constant monitoring is essential. Objective: evaluate the safety and feasibility of performing the sit-to-stand protocol, observing the acute hemodynamic effects in hospitalized elderly. Methods: in a sample composed of elderly people with clinical stability, a progressive sit-to-stand protocol was performed, with eight levels in just one session. Hemodynamic variables were evaluated, such as systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, heart rate and double product, at rest and after 1 min, 10 min and 30 min, and means and standard deviations were analyzed and compared. Results: there was a slight increase in the variables systolic blood pressure, heart rate and double product, with normalization in the minutes following the protocol. Diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure showed a slight decrease during the measurements. Few adverse events were observed in the sample, which were resolved after rest. There was statistical significance among most of the variables, but there was no clinical significance. Conclusion: the sit-to-stand protocol is feasible and safe in hospitalized elderly, as long as it is performed according to eligibility criteria and monitored.

Ultrasound Protocols to Assess Skeletal and Diaphragmatic Muscle in People Who Are Critically Ill: A Systematic Review.

This study aims to review published studies that use protocols and ultrasound measurements to evaluate skeletal and diaphragmatic muscles in patients who are critically ill. We searched for references on databases through September 2020 and included in our systematic review studies that used muscular ultrasound to assess skeletal or diaphragm muscles in patients who are critically ill. Seventy-six studies were included, 32 (1720 patients) using skeletal-muscle ultrasound and 44 (2946 patients) using diaphragmatic-muscle ultrasound, with a total of 4666 patients. The population is predominantly adult men. As for designs, most studies (n = 62) were cohort studies. B-mode B was dominant in the evaluations. Medium-to-high frequency bands were used in the analysis of peripheral muscles and medium-to-low frequency bands for diaphragmatic muscles. Evaluation of the echogenicity, muscle thickness and pennation angle of the muscle was also reported. These variables are important in the composition of the diagnosis of muscle loss. Studies demonstrate great variability in their protocols, and sparse description of the important variables that can directly interfere with the quality and validity of these measures. Therefore, a document is needed that standardizes these parameters for ultrasound assessment in patients who are critically ill.

Atualização: Sarcopenia / Update: Sarcopenia

OBJETIVO: Fazer uma atualização da revisão de literatura sobre sarcopenia publicada em 2014 nesta revista. De acordo com o Consenso do Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2), a sarcopenia foi redefinida como uma doença muscular, caracterizada pela redução da força muscular, associada à diminuição da qualidade/quantidade muscular e/ou desempenho físico, sendo classificada como primária, secundária, aguda e crônica. Além de consequências físicas como aumento da ocorrência de quedas e limitação para atividades cotidianas, pode promover alterações sistêmicas pelo desequilíbrio entre síntese e degradação proteica. A prevalência aumenta com a idade, sendo mais alta a partir de 60 anos. Estudos em seis países encontraram prevalência entre 4,6% e 22,1%, havendo oscilação de valores conforme definições utilizadas, métodos diagnósticos e os pontos de corte para índice de massa muscular (IMM). Como estratégia para refinar a detecção do risco da sarcopenia, o EWGSOP2 sugere aplicação do questionário SARC-F. Para mensuração da variável massa muscular, os métodos recomendados são Ressonância Magnética, Tomografia Computadorizada, Absorciometria de Raio-X de Dupla Energia, Bioimpedância Elétrica e Antropometria, existindo acurácias e custos variáveis entre eles. Na aferição da força muscular, a principal forma de mensuração é a força de preensão palmar. Já o desempenho físico pode ser quantificado através do teste de velocidade de marcha de quatro metros. As formas de tratamento são treino de exercícios de resistência progressiva e aeróbicos, além de uma nutrição adequada. O estilo de vida sedentário, obesidade e fragilidade são fatores desencadeantes de perda de massa e função muscular no ambiente clínico.

OBJECTIVES: To update on a sarcopenia literature review published in 2014 in this journal. According to the Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People Consensus (EWGSOP2), sarcopenia was redefined as a muscular disease, characterized by muscular strength reduction, associated with a diminished muscular quantity and /or quality and /or low physical performance, being stratified as primary, secondary acute and chronic. Beyond physical consequences as a fall risk and daily activities, sarcopenia can promote a dysbalance between protein synthesis and degradation. Sarcopenia prevalence is higher with increasing age, especially after 60 years. Studies in six countries had found sarcopenia prevalence between 4.6% and 22.1%, but differences between definitions, diagnostic methods, and cutoff points to evaluate muscle mass and function are found. To improve sarcopenia risk detection, EWGSOP2 suggests the use of the SARC-F questionnaire. Muscle mass measurement recommended methods are Magnet Resonance Imaging, Computed Tomography, Double Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry, Electric Bioimpedance, and Anthropometry with variable accuracy and costs between these methods. To evaluate muscle strength, the handgrip strength test is the main method recommended. In addition, four Meter Gait speed is recommended to evaluate physical performance. Treatment options are progressive exercise, endurance training, and aerobic exercises, together with nutritional interventions. Sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and frailty are the main risks factors associated with muscle mass and function losses in the clinical setting

Avaliação da diferença na força muscular periférica entre admissão e alta em idosos hospitalizados / Evaluation of peripheral muscle strength alterations of elderlies admitted at an ICU

The measurement of peripheral muscle strength in the hospital environment directs rehabilitation and contributes to predicting mortality in the elderly. Objective: To evaluate the variation of muscle strength during hospitalization in hospitalized elderly. Methods: This is a retrospective longitudinal study with stable elderly admitted at an ICU of a large public hospital in Salvador, Bahia State, Brazil. Three measurements of handgrip strength (HGS) were performed, and the highest value was considered for analysis. Other variables collected were cognitive function (MMSE) and Charlson's comorbidity index (CCI). Student T-test was used to test the variation of HGS between admission and discharge. Results: The sample consisted of 80 elderlies with an average age of 68.1 ± 5.8 years, mostly male (77.5%) and with surgical profiles (92.5%). In the comparison between HGS at admission and discharge, no significant differences were found (29.8 ± 7.5 kgf; 30.0 ± 7.8 kgf; p-value= 0.698). However, different forms of variation were observed 36.2% of participants had an increase in HGS (27.8 ± 9.3 kgf to 32.3 ± 9.6 kgf), whereas 38, 7% had a loss of HGS (30.9 ± 6.7 kgf to 26.8 ± 6.9 kgf) between admission and discharge. Conclusion: There are different trajectories in HGS from admission to discharge in hospitalized elderly, and understanding the factors that favor these variations is important for the rehabilitation process.

A mensuração da força muscular periférica (FMP) no ambiente hospitalar direciona a reabilitação e contribui para predição da mortalidade dos idosos. Objetivo: Avaliar a variação da força muscular ao longo da internação em idosos hospitalizados. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo longitudinal prospectivo, com idosos estáveis das enfermarias e UTI´s de um hospital de grande porte da rede pública estadual, em Salvador-BA. Foram realizadas 3 medidas de dinamometria de preensão palmar, sendo considerado para análise o maior valor. Outras variáveis coletadas foram a função cognitiva (MEEM) e índice de comorbidades de Charlson (ICC). Para comparação da variação da FPP entre a admissão e alta realizado o teste T de Student. Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 80 idosos com média de idade 68,1 ± 5,8 anos, majoritariamente do sexo masculino (77.5%) e com perfil cirúrgico (92,5%). Na comparação entre a FPP na admissão e alta não foram encontradas diferenças significativas (29,8±7,5 kgf; 30,0±7,8 kgf; valor de p= 0,698). Entretanto, observou-se formas distintas de variação ao longo da internação, sendo que 36,2% dos pacientes apresentaram aumento da FPP(27,8 ± 9,3 kgf para 32,3 ± 9,6 kgf), enquanto que 38,7% tiveram perda da FPP(30,9 ± 6,7 kgf para 26,8 ± 6,9 kgf) entre a admissão e a alta. Conclusão: Existem diferentes trajetórias da FMP desde admissão até a alta em idosos hospitalizados. Compreender quais são os fatores que favorecem essas variações é algo importante para o processo de reabilitação.

Effects of Exercise Interventions on Aerobic Capacity and Health-Related Quality of Life in People Living With HIV/AIDS: Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

OBJECTIVE: Exercise is a recommended component of care for people living with HIV/AIDS; however, it is unclear which type of exercise is most effective. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relative effects of different types of exercise interventions on aerobic capacity measured by peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in this population. METHODS: For this systematic review and indirect-comparisons meta-analysis (network meta-analysis), different electronic databases were searched up to February 2020 for randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effects of different types of exercise interventions on peak VO2 and HRQoL of people living with HIV/AIDS. Mean differences, standardized mean difference (SMD), and 95% CI were calculated. Fixed- and random-effects Bayesian network meta-analysis were used to compare the relative effectiveness of the different exercise interventions. RESULTS: Forty studies met the study criteria, reporting on a total of 1518 patients. When comparing the exercise interventions with usual care (control group) for the peak VO2 outcome, combined aerobic and resistance exercise was the highest ranked exercise intervention with an SMD of 4.2 (95% CI = 2.5 to 5.9), followed by aerobic exercise (SMD = 3.1; 95% CI = 1.4 to 5.1). Compared with aerobic exercise, resistance training, and yoga, combined aerobic and resistance exercise was the best exercise intervention to promote improvement on physical function, general health, mental health, and energy/vitality domains HRQoL. CONCLUSION: The combined aerobic and resistance exercise was the highest ranked exercise intervention to improve peak VO2 and HRQoL. Combined aerobic and resistance exercise should be considered as a component of care for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Segurança e aplicação da plataforma vibratória em pacientes hospitalizados: uma revisão sistemática / Safety and application of the vibratory platform in hospitalized patients: a systematic review

Um curto período de hospitalização, se acompanhado de imobilidade, pode ser capaz de promover declínio das funções musculoesqueléticas, gerando impacto negativo na funcionalidade e qualidade de vida. Com isso, tem-se tornado cada vez mais comum a adoção de estratégias terapêuticas como o uso da plataforma vibratória (PV). OBJETIVO: Sistematizar evidências sobre a funcionalidade e a segurança da aplicação da PV em pacientes adultos hospitalizados. MÉTODOS: Revisão sistemática, registrada na PROSPERO com código CRD42019119672. Desenvolvida nas bases: LILACS, SciELO, MedLine/PubMed, EBSCOhost e PEDro. Descritores e palavras-chave: "Whole body vibration", "Intensive Care Units", "hospitalization", "muscle strenght", e "functional capacity". Incluídos estudos que analisaram os efeitos e a segurança da aplicação da PV em pacientes adultos hospitalizados. A qualidade metodológica foi avaliada através da escala Downs and Black. RESULTADOS: Incluídos 2 estudos, um ensaio clínico randomizado e outro estudo de intervenção controlado. A amostra variou entre 24 e 40 sujeitos, de ambos os sexos, média de idade 52±4 anos, com diagnóstico de DPOC e condições variadas. Houve uma melhora na distância percorrida no teste de caminhada de seis minutos e diminuição no tempo do teste de sentar e levantar, aumento dos níveis de irisina e melhora na qualidade de vida, em relação aos parâmetros dos sinais vitais não teve alterações significativas. O escore metodológico foi em média 16. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados indicam que a PV parece ser viável e segura, podendo trazer efeitos favoráveis na funcionalidade para o tratamento em pacientes adultos hospitalizados, sendo uma alternativa para a reabilitação de forma precoce.

A short period of hospitalization, if accompanied by immobility, may be able to promote a decline in musculoskeletal functions, generating a negative impact on functionality and quality of life. As a result, the adoption of therapeutic strategies such as the use of the vibrating platform (PV) has become increasingly common. OBJECTIVE: To systematize evidence on the functionality and safety of the application of PV in hospitalized adult patients. METHODS: Systematic review, registered at PROSPERO with code CRD42019119672. Developed in the bases: LILACS, SciELO, MedLine / PubMed, EBSCOhost and PEDro. Keywords and keywords: "Whole body vibration", "Intensive Care Units", "hospitalization", "muscle strength", and "functional capacity". Included studies that analyzed the effects and safety of the application of PV in hospitalized adult patients. Methodological quality was assessed using the Downs and Black scale. RESULTS: Included 2 studies, a randomized clinical trial and another controlled intervention study. The sample varied between 24 and 40 subjects, of both sexes, mean age 52 ± 4 years, with a diagnosis of COPD and varied conditions. There was an improvement in the distance covered in the six-minute walk test and a decrease in the time of the sit and stand test, an increase in irisin levels and an improvement in quality of life, in relation to the vital signs parameters, there was no significant change. The methodological score was on average 16. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that PV seems to be viable and safe, and may have favorable effects on functionality for treatment in hospitalized adult patients, being an alternative for early rehabilitation.

Reproducibility of respiratory mechanics measurements in patients on invasive mechanical ventilation. / Reprodutibilidade das mensurações da mecânica respiratória em pacientes sob ventilação mecânica invasiva.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the intra- and interexaminer reproducibility of measurements of the resistance and static and dynamic compliance of the respiratory system in patients on mechanical ventilation. METHODS: This was an analytical study conducted with individuals aged ≥ 18 years who were on invasive mechanical ventilation and had no clinical diagnosis of respiratory system disease and/or chest abnormality. Three measurements of respiratory mechanics were performed with a 1-minute interval between them. The first and third measurements were performed by examiner A, the second by examiner B. The values for the resistance and static and dynamic compliance of the respiratory system were compared using the intraclass correlation coefficient. RESULTS: A total of 198 measurements of respiratory mechanics were performed for 66 patients on mechanical ventilation. The patients had a mean age of 52.6 ± 18.6 years and a mean body mass index of 21.6 ± 2.1kg/m2; a surgical profile (61.5%) and female sex (53.8%) were predominant. Mean values were obtained for the three measurements of respiratory system resistance (A1: 15.7 ± 6.8cmH2O/L/s; B1: 15.7 ± 6.4cmH2O/L/s and A2: 15.9 ± 6.2cmH2O/L/s), respiratory system static compliance (A1: 42.1 ± 13.7mL/cmH2O; B1: 42.4 ± 14.6mL/cmH2O and A2: 42.2 ± 14.5mL/cmH2O) and respiratory system dynamic compliance (A1: 21.3 ± 7.3mL/cmH2O; B1: 21.4 ± 7.5mL/cmH2O and A2: 21.3 ± 6.2mL/cmH2O). The intraclass correlation coefficient was also calculated for respiratory system resistance (R = 0.882 and p = 0.001; R = 0.949 and p = 0.001 - interexaminer A1 versus B and B versus A2, respectively; R = 0.932 and p = 0.001 - intraexaminer); respiratory system static compliance (R = 0.951 and p = 0.001; R = 0.958 and p = 0.001 - interexaminer A1 versus B and B versus A2, respectively; R = 0.965 and p = 0.001 - intraexaminer) and respiratory system dynamic compliance (R = 0.957 and p = 0.001; R = 0.946 and p = 0.001 - interexaminer A1 versus B and B versus A2, respectively; R = 0.926 and p = 0.001 - intraexaminer). CONCLUSION: The measurements of resistance and static and dynamic compliance of the respiratory system show good intra- and interexaminer reproducibility for ventilated patients.

Associação entre força muscular periférica e força muscular respiratória em idosos hospitalizados / Association between peripheral muscle force and muscular respiratory strength in hospitalized elderly

A sarcopenia é uma síndrome caracterizada por perda progressiva e generalizada de massa e força do músculo esquelética, bem como possivelmente da musculatura respiratória com risco de desfechos adversos, como declínio da funcionalidade, má qualidade de vida e morte. O risco de complicações respiratórias e infecções na população idosa é elevado, o que pode ser devido, em parte, as alterações da força do diafragma. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a associação entre força muscular periférica e força muscular respiratória em idosos hospitalizados. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo realizado em um hospital público na cidade de Salvador, Bahia. As variáveis primárias mensuradas foram medidas antropométricas, força de preensão palmar, força muscular respiratória através da aferição da pressão inspiratória máxima (PImáx), velocidade de marcha e presença de tabagismo. As variáveis secundárias extraídas a partir de dados de prontuário foram idade, gênero, diagnóstico médico admissional, perfil clínico admissional (clínico ou cirúrgico), tempo de internação no momento da coleta e índice de comorbidades de Charlson. Para avaliação entre as variáveis da FPP e força muscular respiratória foi utilizado a análise da correlação de Pearson. RESULTADOS: Dos 95 idosos avaliados, 73,7% era do sexo masculino, 89,5% tinham internação por motivo cirúrgico (40,2% cirurgias abdominais; 30,4% cirurgias urológicas; 16,3% amputações; 13,1% outras cirurgias), IMC 24,5 ± 4,1Kg/m2. A média de idade foi 68,1±6,1 anos, força de preensão palmar 31,3 ± 9,1Kgf e PImáx -77,5±33,2 cm H2O. O tempo para avaliação inicial foi de 4,3 ± 3,1 dias após internação hospitalar. O índice de comorbidades de Charlson foi de 3,6 ± 1,89 e a pontuação do mini-exame do estado mental foi 22,9±7,22. A correlação entre a força de preensão palmar e a força muscular respiratória foi moderada (R=-0,439 e valor de p= 0,001). CONCLUSÃO: Existe relação entre FMR e FMP, bem como a FMR pode predizer dinapenia. Apesar disso, recomenda-se que a avaliação da FMR e FMP sejam feitas de forma individualizada para um posterior direcionamento do plano terapêutico, já que esta relação foi apenas moderada.

Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by the progressive and widespread loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, which can be used as a life-threatening respiratory massage, such as decline in function, poor quality of life, and death. The risk of respiratory and control complications in the elderly population is one that may be due to a change in the strength of the diaphragm. OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between peripheral muscle strength and respiratory muscle strength in hospitalized elderly. METHODS: this is a study carried out in a public hospital in Salvador, Bahia. The primary variables measured were anthropometric measurements, palmar grip strength, respiratory muscle strength through maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), gait velocity and presence of smoking. The secondary variables extracted from medical records were age, gender, admission medical diagnosis, admission clinical profile (clinical or surgical), length of hospital stay at time of collection and Charlson comorbidities index. The Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the PPF variables and respiratory muscle strength. RESULTS: Of the 95 elderly patients evaluated, 73.7% were male, 89.5% were hospitalized for surgical reasons (40.2% were abdominal surgeries, 30.4% were urological surgeries, 16.3% were amputations, 13.1% were other surgeries ), BMI 24.5 ± 4.1 kg / m2. The mean age was 68.1 ± 6.1 years, palmar grip strength 31.3 ± 9.1 Kgf and PImax -77.5 ± 33.2 cm H2O. The time for initial evaluation was 4.3 ± 3.1 days after hospital admission. The Charlson comorbidities index was 3.6 ± 1.89 and the mini-mental status score was 22.9 ± 7.22. The correlation between palmar grip strength and respiratory muscle strength was moderate (R = -0.439 and p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: There is a relationship between FMR and FMP, and FMR can predict dynapenia. Despite this, it is recommended that the evaluation of FMR and FMP be made in an individualized way for a subsequent direction of the therapeutic plan, since this relationship was only moderate.

RESUMO Objetivo: Comparar as propriedades de medida (consistência interna, confiabilidade intra e interavaliadores, validade do construto, e efeitos teto e piso) da Escala de Estado Funcional para UTI (FSS-ICU - Functional Status Score for the ICU) e da Medida de Independência Funcional (MIF)-domínio motor). Métodos: Neste estudo de propriedades de medida, a FSS-ICU e a MIF foram aplicadas em 100 pacientes (72,1 ± 15,9 anos; 53% masculino; Sequential Organ Failure Assessment = 11,0 ± 3,5 pontos; Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 = 50,2 ± 16,8 pontos) na unidade de terapia intensiva na linha de base e após 2 horas pelo fisioterapeuta 1 (teste e reteste) e 30 minutos após a linha de base pelo fisioterapeuta 2. As propriedades de medidas avaliadas foram a consistência interna (alfa de Cronbach), as confiabilidades intra e interavaliadores (coeficiente de correlação intraclasse), a concordância (erro padrão de medida), a diferença mínima detectável com confiança de 90%, os efeitos teto e piso (frequência de pontuação máxima e mínima) e a validade do construto (correlação de Pearson). Resultados: Para a FSS-ICU e a MIF, foram encontradas adequadas consistência interna (alfa de Cronbach: FSS-ICU = 0,95 e MIF = 0,86), confiabilidades intra e interavaliadores para pontuação geral da FSS-ICU e MIF (coeficiente de correlação intraclasse > 0,75), concordância (diferença mínima detectável com confiança de 90% e MIF = 1,0 ponto; erro padrão de medida: FSS-ICU = 2% e MIF = 1%) e validade do construto (r = 0,94; p < 0,001). A FSS-ICU apresentou efeito teto de 16% e a MIF de 18%. Conclusão: As escalas FSS-ICU e MIF têm adequadas propriedades de medida para avaliarem funcionalidade em pacientes críticos, embora apresentem efeito teto.

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the measurement properties (internal consistency, intra and interrater reliability, construct validity, and ceiling and floor effects) of the Functional Status Score for the ICU (FSS-ICU) and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM-motor domain). Methods: In this study of measurement properties, the FSS-ICU and FIM were applied to 100 patients (72.1 ± 15.9 years; 53% male; Sequential Organ Failure Assessment = 11.0 ± 3.5 points, Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 = 50.2 ± 16.8 points) in an intensive care unit at baseline and after 2 hours by physiotherapist 1 (test and retest) and 30 minutes after baseline by physiotherapist 2. The measurement properties evaluated were internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), intra- and interrater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient), agreement (standard error of measurement) and minimum detectable change at a 90% confidence level, ceiling and floor effects (frequency of maximum and minimum scores) and construct validity (Pearson's correlation). Results: The FSS-ICU and FIM presented adequate internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha, FSS-ICU = 0.95 and FIM = 0.86), intra-and interrater reliability for overall FSS-ICU and FIM score (ICC > 0.75), agreement (minimum detectable change at a 90% confidence level: FSS-ICU and FIM = 1.0 point; standard error of measurement: FSS-ICU = 2% and FIM = 1%) and construct validity (r = 0.94; p < 0.001). However, the FSS-ICU and FIM presented ceiling effects (maximum score for 16% of patients for the FSS-ICU and 18% for the FIM). Conclusion: The FSS-ICU and FIM present adequate measurement properties to assess functionality in critically ill patients, although they present ceiling effects.
