RESUMO
Recém-nascidos (RN) prematuros de muito baixo peso apresentam um risco aumentado de desenvolver doença metabólica óssea (DMO), por isso é necessário realizar suplementação mineral e triagem para DMO nos prematuros internados em UTI Neonatal a fim de prevenir esta condição clínica. O estudo avaliou o prontuário de 34 RN nascidos e internados em UTI Neonatal no Hospital Santo Antônio por um período de 1 ano. Destes, 8 foram submetidos a triagem para DMO, sendo que não houve ocorrência de pesquisa positiva. Conclui-se que maiores estudos e de seguimento são necessários, assim como o estabelecimento de protocolos que visem prevenção e tratamento precoce da DMO.
Very low birth weight infants are at increased risk of developing metabolic bone disease (MBD), so it is necessary to perform mineral supplementation and MBD screening in premature infants in neonatal intensive care units in order to prevent this clinical condition. The study evaluated the charts of 34 newborns who was born and hospitalized in a neonatal ICU at the Santo Antônio Hospital for a period of 1 year. Of these, 8 were submitted to MBD screening, and there was no positive research. It is concluded that further studies and follow-up are necessary, as well as the establishment of protocols aimed at prevention and early treatment of MBD.
RESUMO
UNLABELLED: Medical plastic surgery league is a group of medical students interested in plastic surgery and a professional volunteer in the area willing to share and produce knowledge. Students define their direction, and are coordinated by an board certified plastic surgeon. Students should be aware that the league is an opportunity to learn, to seek knowledge, to develop clinical and scientific reasoning, and stimulate its interaction with the community. It means strengthening and enhancement of expertise in different levels of learning. Even if they do not become plastic surgeons, students build skills that can be adapted to other conditions and situations in the future. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE V: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
