- Assessment of a digital game as a neuropsychological test for postoperative cognitive dysfunction(2022) LUCATELLI, André; GOULART, Ananaira Alves; SILVEIRA, Paulo Sergio Panse; SIQUEIRA, José de Oliveira; CARMONA, Maria José Carvalho; PEREIRA, Valéria Fontenelle Angelim; VALENTIN, Livia Stocco Sanches; VIEIRA, Joaquim EdsonAbstract Objective: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction may result from worsening in a condition of previous impairment. It causes greater difficulty in recovery, longer hospital stays, and consequent delay in returning to work activities. Digital games have a potential neuromodulatory and rehabilitation effect. In this study, a digital game was used as a neuropsychological test to assess postoperative cognitive dysfunction, with preoperative patient performance as control. Methods: It was a non-controlled study, with patients selected among candidates for elective non-cardiac surgery, evaluated in the preand postoperative periods. The digital game used has six phases developed to evaluate selective attention, alternating attention, visuoperception, inhibitory control, short-term memory, and long-term memory. The digital game takes about 25 minutes. Scores are the sum of correct answers in each cognitive domain. Statistical analysis compared these cognitive functions preand post-surgery using a generalized linear mixed model (ANCOVA). Results: Sixty patients were evaluated, 40% male and 60% female, with a mean age of 52.7 ± 13.5 years. Except for visuoperception, a reduction in post-surgery scores was found in all phases of the digital game. Conclusion: The digital game was able to detect decline in several cognitive functions postoperatively. As its completion is faster than in conventional tests on paper, this digital game may be a potentially recommended tool for assessing patients, especially the elderly and in the early postoperative period.
- Which Model is Better to Teach How to Perform Tube Thoracostomy: Synthetic, Cadaver, or Animal?(2022) MEYER-PFLUG, Adriano Ribeiro; RASSLAN, Roberto; USSAMI, Edson Yassushi; SILVA, Francisco de Salles Collet e; OTOCH, Jose Pinhata; DAMOUS, Sergio Henrique Bastos; MONTERO, Edna Frasson de Souza; MENOGOZZO, Carlos Augusto Metidieri; VIEIRA, Joaquim Edson; UTIYAMA, Edivaldo MassazoIntroduction: The lack of standardized skill training reported by medical students in performing tube thoracostomies may be associated with higher complications. The ideal training model is yet to be determined. This study sought to evaluate three different models. Methods: Between 2015 and 2017, 204 last-year medical students of Universidade de Sao Paulo with no prior training in tube thoracostomy were randomized into three groups: cadaver, pig, and synthetic models. All groups performed 1-d tube thoracostomy hands-on training and a 40-min theoretical class. The knowledge acquisition was measured by a comparison between a theoretical test before and 3 wk after the class, and the skills improvement was evaluated by a comparison between the skills test on the same day of the hands-on training and another after 24 wk (the retention skill test). A questionnaire was submitted to evaluate their satisfaction rate and self-reported confidence, as per a Likert scale. Results: The theoretical post-test score was higher compared to the pretest score in all groups (P < 0.001). The retention skills test in the cadaver and synthetic groups decreased compared to the skills test (P = 0.01 and P = 0.007, respectively). There was no difference between the groups either in the theoretical test or in the skills test. Student satisfaction was higher in the cadaver and pig groups. The confidence perception increased in all groups after the training. Conclusions: The models used for tube thoracostomy training appear to have a similar impact on skills retention, knowledge acquisition, and confidence. Although the satisfaction rate is lower for the synthetic model, it has no biological risk or ethical issues and is more feasible. (C) 2022 Published by Elsevier Inc.
- Comparison of digital games as a cognitive function assessment tool for current standardized neuropsychological tests(2022) GOULART, Ananaira Alves; LUCATELLI, André; SILVEIRA, Paulo Sergio Panse; SIQUEIRA, José de Oliveira; PEREIRA, Valéria Fontanelle Angelim; CARMONA, Maria José Carvalho; VALENTIN, Livia Stocco Sanches; VIEIRA, Joaquim EdsonAbstract Objective: Cognitive dysfunction may occur postoperatively. Fast and efficient assessment of Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD) can minimize loss of quality of life, and therefore, a study comparing a digital game with standard neuropsychological tests to assess executive, mnemonic, and attention functions to evaluate POCD seems to be relevant both for research and clinical practice. Methods: A battery of standardized tests and a digital game (MentalPlus®) were administered to 60 patients at the Central Institute of Hospital das Clínicas in São Paulo (36 women and 24 men), with ages between 29 and 82 years, preand post-surgery performed under anesthesia. Correlation and linear regression model were used to compare the scores obtained from the standardized tests to the scores of the six executive and cognitive functions evaluated by the game (shortand long-term memory, selective and alternating attention, inhibitory control, and visual perception). Results: After correlation analysis, a statistically significant result was found mainly for the correlation between the scores from the phase of the digital game assessing the visuoperception function and the scores from the A and B cards of the Stroop Test (p < 0.001, r = 0.99 and r = 0.64, respectively), and the scores from TMTA (p = 0.0046, r = 0.51). We also found a moderate correlation between the phase of the game assessing short-memory function and VVLT (p < 0.001, r = 0.41). No statistically significant correlations were found for the other functions assessed. Conclusion: The digital game provided scores in agreement with standardized tests for evaluating visual perception and possibly short-term memory cognitive functions. Further studies are necessary to verify the correlation of other phases of the digital game with standardized tests assessing cognitive functions.
- Intraoperative Analgesia with Magnesium Sulfate versus Remifentanil Guided by Plethysmographic Stress Index in Post-Bariatric Dermolipectomy: A Randomized Study(2022) SILVA FILHO, S. E.; DAINEZ, S.; GONZALEZ, M. A. M. C.; ANGELIS, F.; VIEIRA, J. E.; SANDES, C. S.Background. Magnesium sulfate reduces pain scores and analgesic consumption. Its use as an analgesic resource in opioid-free or opioid-sparing techniques have also been tested. The evaluation of the antinociceptive potency of drugs and doses indirectly, through hemodynamic oscillations has been questioned. A relatively new algorithm called the plethysmographic stress index has been considered sensitive and relatively specific as a parameter for assessing the need for intraoperative analgesia. Objectives. The aim of this trial was to assess the intraoperative analgesic capacity of magnesium sulfate compared to remifentanil. The secondary objectives were propofol consumption and its latency, the consumption of opioids, ephedrine, and cisatracurium. Patients and Methods. Forty patients scheduled for post-bariatric dermolipectomy were randomly assigned to two groups to receive total intravenous anesthesia with target-controlled hypnosis induced with propofol. Analgesia was obtained in the remifentanil group with remifentanil at an initial dose of 0.2 mu g.kg(-1).min(-1) and in the magnesium sulfate group with magnesium sulfate 40 mg.kg(-1) + 10 mg.kg(-1.)h(-1). Results. There was no statistical hemodynamic difference between the groups before and after orotracheal intubation (p = 0.062) and before and after the surgical incision (p = 0.656). There was also no statistical difference in the variation of mean arterial pressure before and after intubation (p = 0.656) and before and after the surgical incision (p = 0.911). There was similar consumption of cisatracurium, ephedrine, and postoperative opioids between the groups. Some patients in the magnesium sulfate group needed more intraoperative fentanyl and propofol, although the latency of propofol was similar in both the groups. Conclusion. We conclude that using magnesium sulfate in intravenous general anesthesia for post-bariatric dermolipectomy is related to a significant reduction in opioid consumption without compromising hemodynamic stability. Overall, PSI monitoring was helpful in driving the analgesic strategy. The use of magnesium sulfate proved to be an important adjunct in the scenario presented, allowing the use of opioids to be avoided in certain cases. We found no statistical differences in the consumption of neuromuscular blocker and vasoconstrictor. Substituting opioids for magnesium sulfate leads to an increase in propofol consumption in the scenario presented. Studies with a larger sample are needed to corroborate the results presented and evaluate other potential advantages in reducing opioid consumption.
- An evaluation of the accuracy and self-reported confidence of clinicians in using the ASA-PS Classification System(2022) SILVEIRA, Saullo Queiroz; SILVA, Leopoldo Muniz da; GOMES, Ronald Figueiredo; ABIB, Arthur de Campos Vieira; VIEIRA, Joaquim Edson; HO, Anthony M-H; LIMA, Helidea de Oliveira; BELLICIERI, Fernando Nardy; CAMIRE, Daenis; NERSESSIAN, Rafael Sousa Fava; MIZUBUTI, Glenio B.Objectives: The American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA-PS) is a grading system routinely adopted worldwide by physicians to classify patients' overall health status. Concerns have been raised surrounding the subjectiveness of this system, potentially leading to poor inter-rater agreement/reliability. We hypothesized that physicians are overconfident when assigning ASA-PS scores and that presenting them with the ASA-PS definitions/examples would improve accuracy. We therefore evaluated participants' accuracy and self-reported confidence on the ASA-PS Classification System (1) while assigning ASA-PS according to their baseline knowledge/judgment; and (2) after a single exposure to the ASA-PS definitions/examples. Design: Prospective before-and-after web-based study. Participants: 272 anesthesiologists and 114 non-anesthesiologists. Interventions: Participants voluntarily answered a web-based questionnaire consisting of 10 hypothetical cases. They were asked to assign an ASA-PS score and rate their perceived self-confidence level (20-100%) on the accuracy of their assigned score for each case both (1) before and (2) after reviewing the ASA-PS definitions/examples. The correct ASA-PS for each hypothetical case was determined by consensus among investigators. Measurements: Participants' accuracy, self-reported confidence, and calibration of confidence on the application of ASA-PS Classification System. Agreement between measures was tested using kappa coefficient. Results: Anesthesiologists had better accuracy than non-anesthesiologists both on initial [6(5-7) vs. 4(3-5) out of 10; p < 0.001] as well as subsequent [7(6-8) vs. 6(4-7); p < 0.001] ASA-PS score assignments. Participants' self-reported confidence was greater than their accuracy for assigned ASA-PS scores (p < 0.001). ASA-PS agreement between anesthesiologists and non-anesthesiologists was poor (kappa < 0.20). Participants' accuracy for hypothetical cases of ASA-PS I, II, and III involving adult patients was overall greater than for ASA-PS IV, V, and III (the latter involving a neonate) for both anesthesiologists and non-anesthesiologists (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Physicians tend to disagree and be overconfident when assigning ASA-PS scores. A brief consultation of the ASA-PS definitions/examples improves the accuracy for both anesthesiologists and non-anesthesiologists.
- Phrenic Nerve Block and Respiratory Effort in Pigs and Critically Ill Patients with Acute Lung Injury(2022) PEREIRA, Sergio M.; SINEDINO, Bruno E.; V, Eduardo L. Costa; MORAIS, Caio C. A.; SKLAR, Michael C.; LIMA, Cristhiano Adkson Sales; NAKAMURA, Maria A. M.; RANZANI, Otavio T.; GOLIGHER, Ewan C.; TUCCI, Mauro R.; HO, Yeh-Li; TANIGUCHI, Leandro U.; VIEIRA, Joaquim E.; BROCHARD, Laurent; AMATO, Marcelo B. P.Background: Strong spontaneous inspiratory efforts can be difficult to control and prohibit protective mechanical ventilation. Instead of using deep sedation and neuromuscular blockade, the authors hypothesized that perineural administration of lidocaine around the phrenic nerve would reduce tidal volume (V-T) and peak transpulmonary pressure in spontaneously breathing patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Methods: An established animal model of acute respiratory distress syndrome with six female pigs was used in a proof-of-concept study. The authors then evaluated this technique in nine mechanically ventilated patients under pressure support exhibiting driving pressure greater than 15 cm H2O or V-T greater than 10 ml/kg of predicted body weight. Esophageal and transpulmonary pressures, electrical activity of the diaphragm, and electrical impedance tomography were measured in pigs and patients. Ultrasound imaging and a nerve stimulator were used to identify the phrenic nerve, and perineural lidocaine was administered sequentially around the left and right phrenic nerves. Results: Results are presented as median [interquartile range, 25th to 75th percentiles]. In pigs, V-T decreased from 7.4 ml/kg [7.2 to 8.4] to 5.9 ml/kg [5.5 to 6.6] (P < 0.001), as did peak transpulmonary pressure (25.8 cm H2O [20.2 to 27.2] to 17.7 cm H2O [13.8 to 18.8]; P < 0.001) and driving pressure (28.7 cm H2O [20.4 to 30.8] to 19.4 cm H2O [15.2 to 22.9]; P < 0.001). Ventilation in the most dependent part decreased from 29.3% [26.4 to 29.5] to 20.1% [15.3 to 20.8] (P < 0.001). In patients, V-T decreased (8.2 ml/ kg [7.9 to 11.1] to 6.0 ml/ kg [5.7 to 6.7]; P < 0.001), as did driving pressure (24.7 cm H2O [20.4 to 34.5] to 18.4 cm H2O [16.8 to 20.7]; P < 0.001). Esophageal pressure, peak transpulmonary pressure, and electrical activity of the diaphragm also decreased. Dependent ventilation only slightly decreased from 11.5% [8.5 to 12.6] to 7.9% [5.3 to 8.6] (P = 0.005). Respiratory rate did not vary. Variables recovered 1 to 12.7 h [6.7 to 13.7] after phrenic nerve block. Conclusions: Phrenic nerve block is feasible, lasts around 12 h, and reduces V-T and driving pressure without changing respiratory rate in patients under assisted ventilation.
- Plasmatic catecholamines after neuraxial labour analgesia: A randomised controlled trial comparing epidural versus combined spinal-epidural(2022) SANTOS, Shirley Andrade; FERNANDES, Hermann Dos Santos; NANI, Fernando Souza; BARTILOTTI, Andreza Gonzaga; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcineli Vieira; CARMONA, Maria Jose Carvalho; BLIACHERIENE, Fernando; VIEIRA, Joaquim EdsonBackground: Combined spinal-epidural technique (CSE) for labour analgesia has been associated with fetal bradycardia and uterine hypertonia when compared with epidural analgesia (EA), possibly due to a decrease in epinephrine levels following neuraxial anaesthesia. However, there are no recent studies comparing plasmatic catecholamines levels between those two techniques. This study aimed to compare CSE versus EA regarding pre- and post-analgesia catecholamines levels, uterine tone and fetal heart rate.Patients and methods: Randomised clinical trial with 47 labouring patients divided in two groups (CSE and EA). Primary outcome was plasmatic catecholamine measurements before and after neuraxial block. Secondary outcomes were fetal heart rate changes, uterine hypertonia, hypotension episodes, pain relief and fetal outcomes. Results: For CSE group, the median decrease of plasmatic epinephrine was 0 pg/mL [(-) 480-(+) 41] and for norepinephrine was -21 pg/mL [(-) 2507-(+) 94]. For EA group, the median decrease for epinephrine was 0 pg/mL [(-) 326-(+) 15] and for norepinephrine was -5 pg/mL [(-) 190-(+76)]. There were no differences between groups (p = 0.96 and p = 0.63 for epinephrine and norepinephrine, respectively). There were no differences for secondary outcomes.Conclusions: There was no evidence of a more significant decrease of catecholamines with CSE when compared with EA. Catecholamines decrease theory may not be valid for modern labour analgesia techniques. ⠃C 2022 Socie acute accent te acute accent franc , aise d'anesthe acute accent sie et de re acute accent animation (Sfar).
- Strategy for Calculating Magnesium Sulfate Dose in Obese Patients: A Randomized Blinded Trial(2022) SILVA FILHO, Sebastiao E.; KLINSKY, Omar S.; GONZALEZ, Miguel A. M. C.; DAINEZ, Sandro; ANGELIS, Flavio; VIEIRA, Joaquim E.Background. Magnesium sulfate has analgesic properties during the postoperative period. However, there is a knowledge gap in pharmacology related to the use of the real, ideal, or corrected ideal body weight to calculate its dose in obese patients. This trial compared postoperative analgesia using actual and corrected ideal body weight. Methods. Seventy-five obese patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic gastroplasty or cholecystectomy under general anesthesia were randomly assigned to three groups. The patients in the control group did not receive magnesium sulfate; the other two groups received magnesium sulfate at 40 mg.kg(-1) of actual body weight or corrected ideal body weight. Results. In patients with body mass index > 30 mg.kg(-2) (mean body mass index ranging from 32.964 kg.m(-2) to 33.985 kg.m(-2), according to the groups) scheduled for video laparoscopic cholecystectomy, there were no differences in the blood magnesium concentrations in the groups receiving magnesium sulfate throughout the study, regardless of whether the strategy to calculate its dose was based on total or corrected ideal body weight. Patients in the groups receiving magnesium sulfate showed a significant reduction in morphine consumption (p <= 0.001) and pain scores (p=0.006) in the postoperative period compared to those in the control group. There were no significant differences in morphine consumption (p=0.323) or pain scores (p=0.082) between the two groups receiving magnesium sulfate. There were no differences in the total duration of neuromuscular block induced by cisatracurium among the three groups (p=0.181). Conclusions. Magnesium sulfate decreased postoperative pain and morphine consumption without affecting the recovery time of cisatracurium in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Strategies to calculate the dose based on the actual or corrected ideal body weight had similar outcomes related to analgesia and the resulting blood magnesium concentration. However, as the sample in this trial presented body mass indices ranging from 30.11 kg.m(-2) to 47.11 kg/m(-2), further studies are needed to confirm these findings in more obese patients, easily found in centers specialized.
