- Standardization of elective tracheostomies at the Central Institute of the Hospital das Clínicas in São Paulo during the COVID-19 pandemic(2020) MENEGOZZO, CARLOS AUGUSTO METIDIERI; ARAP, SÉRGIO SAMIR; MARIANI, ALESSANDRO WASUM; MINAMOTO, HÉLIO; IMAMURA, RUI; BENTO, RICARDO FERREIRA; PÊGO-FERNANDES, PAULO MANOEL; KOWALSKI, LUIZ PAULO; UTIYAMA, EDIVALDO MASSAZOABSTRACT The COVID-19 Pandemic has resulted in a high number of hospital admissions and some of those patients need ventilatory support in intensive care units. The viral pneumonia secondary to Sars-cov-2 infection may lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and longer mechanical ventilation needs, resulting in a higher demand for tracheostomies. Due to the high aerosolization potential of such procedure, and the associated risks of staff and envoirenment contamination, it is necesseray to develop a specific standardization of the of the whole process involving tracheostomies. This manuscript aims to demonstrate the main steps of the standardization created by a tracheostomy team in a tertiary hospital dedicated to providing care for patients with COVID-19.

- Acute and long-term kidney function after parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism(2020) BELLI, Marcelo; MARTIN, Regina Matsunaga; BRESCIA, Marilia D'Elboux Guimaraes; NASCIMENTO JR., Climerio Pereira; MASSONI NETO, Ledo Mazzei; ARAP, Sergio Samir; FERRAZ-DE-SOUZA, Bruno; MOYSES, Rosa Maria Affonso; PEACOCK, Munro; MONTENEGRO, Fabio Luiz de MenezesBackground In kidney transplant patients, parathyroidectomy is associated with an acute decrease in renal function. Acute and chronic effects of parathyroidectomy on renal function have not been extensively studied in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Methods This retrospective cohort study included 494 patients undergoing parathyroidectomy for PHPT. Acute renal changes were evaluated daily until day 4 post-parathyroidectomy and were stratified according to acute kidney injury (AKI) criteria. Biochemical assessment included serum creatinine, total and ionized calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD). The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the CKD-EPI equation. We compared preoperative and postoperative renal function up to 5 years of follow-up. Results A total of 391 (79.1%) patients were female, and 422 (85.4%) were non-African American. The median age was 58 years old. The median (first and third quartiles) preoperative serum creatinine, PTH and total calcium levels were 0.81 mg/dL (0.68-1.01), 154.5 pg/mL (106-238.5), and 10.9 mg/dL (10.3-11.5), respectively. The median (first and third quartiles) preoperative eGFR was 86 mL/min/1.73 m(2) (65-101.3). After surgery, the median acute decrease in the eGFR was 21 mL/min/1.73 m(2) (p<0.0001). Acutely, 41.1% of patients developed stage 1 AKI, 5.9% developed stage 2 AKI, and 1.8% developed stage 3 AKI. The acute eGFR decrease (%) was correlated with age and PTH, calcium and preoperative creatinine levels in univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis showed that the acute change was related to age and preoperative values of ionized calcium, phosphorus and creatinine. The change at 12 months was related to sex, preoperative creatinine and 25OHD. Permanent reduction in the eGFR occurred in 60.7% of patients after an acute episode. Conclusion There was significant acute impairment in renal function after parathyroidectomy for PHPT, and almost half of the patients met the criteria for AKI. Significant eGFR recovery was observed during the first month after surgery, but a small permanent reduction may occur. Patients treated for PHPT seemed to present with prominent renal dysfunction compared to patients who underwent thyroidectomy.
- Critical analysis of the intraoperative parathyroid hormone decrease during parathyroidectomy for secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism(2020) SILVEIRA, Andre Albuquerque; BRESCIA, Marilia D'Elboux Guimaraes; NASCIMENTO JR., Climerio Pereira do; ARAP, Sergio Samir; MONTENEGRO, Fabio Luiz de MenezesBackground: This study aims to determine whether intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring helps to predict early surgical outcomes in patients with renal hyperparathyroidism and evaluate the impact on decision making during surgery. Methods: A prospective study was conducted. Serial samples of the intraoperative parathyroid hormone were collected; 2 of these were taken before the excision, and 2 were taken after the planned parathyroid resection (10 minutes and 15 minutes). We tested the criterion of an intraoperative parathyroid hormone percentage decay >80% of the highest value of the basal samples as a predictor of success. Results: Of the 228 patients, parathyroidectomy achieved success in 92.1%. In patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, the failure group showed a tendency to stabilize or even increase the intraoperative parathyroid hormone values from the 10-minute measure (577 pg/mL) to the 15-minute measure (535 pg/mL) (P = .903). Conversely, intraoperative parathyroid hormone continued to drop in those with a successful outcome: 245 pg/mL (10 minutes) and 206 pg/mL (15 minutes) (P < .001). The failure group had a significantly lower percentage decay (P < .001) from baseline when compared with the success group. The intraoperative parathyroid hormone influenced the surgical management in up to 7% of the cases. The intraoperative parathyroid hormone dosage method showed an accuracy of 86%, a sensitivity of 88%, and specificity of 67%. Conclusion: In patients with renal hyperparathyroidism undergoing parathyroidectomy, the use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone may help to predict an early therapeutic outcome with high sensitivity and accuracy by indicating the operation's success when there is an 80% reduction of baseline intraoperative parathyroid hormone 15 minutes after removal of the enlarged glands, an associated continuous decrease in serum intraoperative parathyroid hormone levels between 10 and 15 minutes, and achievement of plasma target values <500 pg/mL.
- Recommendations for head and neck surgical procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic(2020) KULCSAR, Marco A. V.; MONTENEGRO, Fabio L. M.; SANTOS, Andre B. O.; TAVARES, Marcos R.; ARAP, Sergio S.; KOWALSKI, Luiz P.The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread exponentially worldwide. In Brazil, the number of infected people diagnosed has been increasing and, as in other countries, it has been associated with a high risk of contamination in healthcare teams. For healthcare professionals, the full use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is mandatory, such as wearing surgical or filtering facepiece class 2 (FFP2) masks, waterproof aprons, gloves, and goggles, in addition to training in care processes. A reduction in the number of face-to-face visits and non-essential elective procedures is also recommended. However, surgery should not be postponed in the case of the most essential elective indications (mostly associated with head and neck cancers). As malignant tumors of the head and neck are clinically time sensitive, neither consultations for these tumors nor their treatment should be postponed. Postponing surgical treatment can result in a change in the disease stage and alter an individual's chance of survival. In this situation, planning of all treatments must begin with the request for, in addition to routine examinations, a nasal swab polymerase chain reaction for SARS-CoV-2 and chest computed tomography. Only if the results of these tests are positive or if fever or other symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 are present should the surgical procedure be postponed until the patient completely recovers. This is mandatory not only because of the risk of contamination of the surgical team but also because of the increased risk of postoperative complications and high risk of death. During this pandemic, the most effective safety measures are social distancing for the general public and the adequate availability and use of PPE in the healthcare field. The treatment of other chronic diseases, such as cancer, should be continued, as the damming of cases of these diseases will have a deleterious effect on the public healthcare system.
