Factors associated with oropharyngeal dysphagia in individuals with cardiovascular disease and COVID-19.

PURPOSE: Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is one of the possible outcomes in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and also in the population hospitalized for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Thus, knowing the predictive risk factors for OD may help with referral and early intervention. This study aimed to verify the association of different factors with OD in hospitalized individuals with cardiovascular disease and COVID-19. METHODS: Cross-sectional clinical study approved by the Research Ethics Committee (4,521,771). Clinical evaluation of swallowing was carried out in 72 adult patients with cardiovascular disease and COVID-19 hospitalized from April to September 2020. Individuals under 18 years of age and without previous cardiovascular disease were excluded. The presence of general clinical and/or neurological complications, pronation, stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), orotracheal intubation (OTI), tracheostomy tube, oxygen support and age were considered as predictive risk factors for oropharyngeal dysphagia. Fisher's exact test, Mann Whitney test and logistic regression model were used for analysis. RESULTS: General clinical complications (p=0.001), pronation (p=0.003), ICU stay (p=0.043), in addition to the need for oxygen supplementation (p=0.023) and age (p= 0 .037) were statistically significant factors associated. The pronation (0.013) and age (0.038) were independently associated with dysphagia. OTI (p=0.208), tracheostomy (p=0.707) and the presence of previous cerebrovascular accidents (p=0.493) were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: In this study, age and prone position were factors independently associated with oropharyngeal dysphagia, complications such as the need for oxygen supplementation, in addition to the need for ICU admission, were also associated factors in the population.

Desenvolvimento e análise de guia de identificação e orientação sobre sinais e sintomas da presbifagia / Development and analysis of the guidelines for identification and guidance on the signs and symptoms of presbyphagia

INTRODUÇÃO: A população idosa tem aumentado progressivamente; portanto, as mudanças fisiológicas ganham atenção, em particular, a deglutição. O conhecimento de idosos, familiares, cuidadores e profissionais de saúde sobre as questões fisiológicas do envelhecimento, a orientação e a identificação dos primeiros sinais e sintomas de deterioração da funcionalidade da mastigação e deglutição são uma forma de promoção do bem-estar. Profissionais de saúde costumam usar materiais impressos na educação do paciente. Faz-se necessário elaborar um guia de orientação e identificação de sinais e sintomas da presbifagia, um conteúdo inexistente em literatura nacional, voltado à população idosa, familiares, cuidadores e profissionais de saúde. OBJETIVOS: Elaborar um guia de identificação e orientação sobre os sinais e sintomas da presbifagia e submetê-lo à avaliação dos idosos, cuidadores, familiares e profissionais da saúde. MÉTODO: Desenvolveu-se o guia de identificação e orientação sobre os sinais e sintomas da presbifagia, avaliado por agentes comunitários de saúde, acompanhantes de idosos e idosos. Em seguida, os pesquisadores fizeram as modificações necessárias. RESULTADO: O estudo resultou em um manual impresso de identificação e orientação sobre os sinais e sintomas da presbifagia. Agentes comunitários de saúde, acompanhantes de idosos e idosos referiram-no como muito importante. CONCLUSÃO: Criou-se o guia de identificação e orientação sobre os sinais e sintomas da presbifagia, avaliado por profissionais de saúde e idosos. (AU)

Revisão integrativa: atuação fonoaudiológica com recém-nascidos portadores de cardiopatia em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal / An integrative review: speech therapy with newborns with heart disease in neonatal intensive care unit

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e analisar, por meio de levantamento bibliográfico, a atuação fonoaudiológica em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTINs) em casos de cardiopatia congênita. Como fonte de dados foram utilizadas as seguintes plataformas: Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval Sistem on-line (MEDLINE), Scielo e o serviço de pesquisa da National Library of Medicine nas bases de dados Pubmed, sistema de procura do Google Acadêmico (HTTP//scholar.google.com.br). Foram pesquisados trinta e dois trabalhos, sendo a atuação fonoaudiológica em UTINs descrita em vinte e oito deles, os quais apresentam como procedimentos avaliação e estimulação do sistema sensório-motor-oral, com uso de técnicas de sucção não-nutritiva e nutritiva, além de triagem auditiva. Porém, as características dos neonatos com cardiopatia congênita e a inserção do fonoaudiólogo em UTIN cardíaca não são citadas, pouco se caracterizando os objetivos e a prática desse profissional. Apenas uma publicação obedeceu aos critérios de inclusão do presente estudo. Trata-se de um trabalho que descreve a transição da alimentação enteral direta para o seio materno em recém-nascidos pré-termo cardiopatas, com idade corrigida, em um centro de terapia intensiva neonatal. Foi possível constatar então a escassez de trabalhos publicados sobre intervenção fonoaudiológica com RN cardiopatas, o que indica a necessidade de novos estudos sobre o tema, já que a atenção a esses pacientes deve ser diferenciada, visto que apresentam particularidades que podem comprometer o desempenho na alimentação.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze, through bibliographical survey, the use of speech therapy care in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in cases of newborns with congenital heart disease. The source data is from Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), SciELO and the search engine of the National Library of Medicine in the databases PubMed, also the Google Scholar search system (http // scholar.google.com.br). Thirty two works were studied and the use of speech therapy in NICU´s was described in twenty eight of them which presented as procedures the assessment and stimulation of the sensory-motor-oral system, using nonnutritive and nutritive sucking and hearing screening techniques. However, the characteristics of newborns with congenital heart disease and the insertion of the speech therapist into cardiac neonatal ICU are not mentioned, not even the description of the objectives and practice of such professional. The care of patients with congenital heart disease should be differentiated as it has particular features that can undermine the performance concerning feeding. Only one publication followed the inclusion criteria of the present survey. It describes the transition of the direct gastric feeding to breast feeding in preterm newborns with heart disease, with age corrected, in a newborn intensive care unit. It was possible to verify the lack of works published on speech therapy intervention with newborns with heart disease, which indicates the need of new studies on the theme, as the care of such patients should be differentiated once they present particularities that could undermine the performance of feeding.
