- Pictures as mementos after perinatal death: a case study(2022) JESUS, Roberta Carolina de Almeida; BENUTE, Glaucia; BERTOLASSI, Nathalia; BARBOSA, Tercilia; BOLIBIO, Renata; FIGUEIREDO, Fernanda; SETUBAL, Maria Silvia; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta; GOMES, Ana; FERREIRA, Raquel; FRANCISCO, Rossana; BERNARDES, LisandraBackground: The grieving process following perinatal loss caused by life-limiting conditions presents some particularities associated with the family's culture and the symbolic relationship with the deceased. Objective: To reflect on the symbolic meaning attributed to mementos, particularly pictures taken immediately after birth. Method: Case study-a qualitative analysis of the data collected through semidirected interviews. Results: Of the three women that took part in the study, one woman chose not to take a picture but opted to take home the hat with her son's name on it that was provided as a regular procedure for every birth at the maternity centre. During the interview, she questioned her decision. The two other women took pictures and still look at them affectionate. One of the women keeps the picture of her child in a shrine at home, thus attributing a symbolic religious meaning to the whole experience that alleviates her pain. Conclusion: The symbolic meaning attributed to pictures of the deceased can help parents process grief.
- A systematic review of instruments measuring grief after perinatal loss and factors associated with grief reactions(2021) SETUBAL, M. S.; BOLIBIO, R.; JESUS, R. C.; BENUTE, G. G.; GIBELLI, M. A.; BERTOLASSI, N.; BARBOSA, T.; GOMES, A.; FIGUEIREDO, F.; FERREIRA, R.; FRANCISCO, R.; BERNARDES, L. SteinObjective Expectant parents who live through perinatal loss experience intense grief, which is not always acknowledged or accepted. A screening tool to detect bereaved parents' grief reactions can guide professionals, including perinatal palliative care teams, to provide follow-up for those in need. This review's goal is to identify and synthesize the international published literature on existent instruments specifically measuring the grieving process after any perinatal loss and to identify factors that could moderate grief reactions. Method Systematic review (PROSPERO # CRD42018092555) with critical synthesis. PUBMED, Cochrane, and PsycINFO databases were searched in English language articles using the keywords ""perinatal"" AND (""grief"" OR ""bereavement"" OR mourning) AND (""scale"" OR ""questionnaire"" OR ""measure"" OR ""assessment"") up to May 2018. Eligibility criteria included every study using a measure to assess perinatal grief after all kinds of perinatal losses, including validations and translations to other languages and interventions designed to alleviate grief symptoms. Results A total of 67 papers met inclusion criteria. Seven instruments measuring perinatal grief published between 1984 and 2002 are described. The Perinatal Grief Scale (PGS) was used in 53 of the selected studies. Of those, 39 analyzed factors associated with grief reactions. Six articles used PGS scores to evaluate pre- and post-bereavement interventions. Studies in English language only might have limited the number of articles. Significance of results The PGS is the most used standardized measures to assess grief after perinatal loss. All parents living through any kind of perinatal loss should be screened.
- Palliative Care After Prenatal Diagnosis of Life-limiting Malformations: A Model of Care(2018) BERNARDES, Lisandra Stein; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta B. C.; FIGUEIREDO, Fernanda; BERTOLASSI, Nathalia; BARBOSA, Tercilia; BOLIBIO, Renata; GOMES, Ana; JESUS, Roberta; VILHEGAS, Andresa; ROCHA, Luana; ROSA, Gladys; SETUBAL, Maria Silvia; BENUTE, Glaucia; FRANCISCO, Rossana
- MRSA outbreak in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in a developed country: importance of rapid detection of reservoirs and implementation of intervention measures(2022) MOURA, Maria Luisa; RIZEK, Camila Fonseca; AGUIAR, Elisa; BARROS, Ana Natiele da Silva; COSTA, Sibeli; SANTOS, Sania Alves dos; MARCHI, Ana Paula; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta Bento Cicaroni; TRAGANTE, Carla Regina; ARAUJO, Maria Rita Elmor de; ROSSI, Flavia; GUIMARAES, Thais; COSTA, Silvia FigueiredoWe described a MRSA bloodstream infection outbreak that was rapidly identified and controlled in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit after implementation of a bundle of measures, including PCR-screening and HCW decolonization. We found 35% of healthcare workers(HCW) colonized with S. aureus by PCR, one of them that presented skin lesion positive for MSSA (same clone and spa type than two patients). Our findings raise the hypothesis that the outbreak could be related to HCW colonization.
- Performance of surveillance cultures at different body sites to identify asymptomatic Staphylococcus aureus carriers(2012) CURSINO, Maria A.; GARCIA, Cilmara P.; LOBO, Renata D.; SALOMAO, Matias C.; GOBARA, Satiko; RAYMUNDO, Gabriela F.; KESPERS, Thaisa; SOARES, Robson E.; MOLLACO, Carla H.; KEIL, Kleiste G.; MALIENO, Paula B.; KREBS, Vera L.; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta; KONDO, Mario M.; ZUGAIB, Marcelo; COSTA, Silvia F.; LEVIN, Anna S.The objective was to evaluate the performance of surveillance cultures at various body sites for Staphylococcus aureus colonization in pregnant women and newborns (NB) and the factors associated with nasal colonization. For NB, 4 sites were evaluated: nares, oropharynx, perineum, and umbilical stump (birth, third day, and weekly). For pregnant women, 4 sites during labor: anterior nares, anus, perineum, and oropharynx. Nasally colonized patients were compared with colonized only extranasally. Colonization was 53% of 392 pregnant women (methicillin-resistant S. aureus [MRSA]: 4%) and 47% of 382 NB (MRSA: 9%). For newborn patients, the best body site was the umbilical stump (methicillin-susceptible S. aureus [MSSA]: 64%; MRSA: 68%) and the combination of nares + umbilical (MSSA: 86%; MRSA: 91%). Among pregnant women, the best body site was the anterior nares (MSSA: 59%; MRSA: 67%) and the combination of nares + oropharynx (MSSA: 83%; MRSA: 80%). A smaller number of household members were associated with MRSA carriage in pregnant women (2.2 +/- 0.6 versus 3.6 +/- 1.8; P = 0.04). In conclusion, multiple culture sites are needed. Control programs based on surveillance cultures may be compromised.
- Three-dimensional Ultrasound Evaluation of Lung Volume in Fetuses with Abdominal Wall Defect(2023) NISHIE, Estela Naomi; OSMUNDO-JUNIOR, Gilmar de Souza; MOHAMED, Samirah Hosney Mahmoud; TANNURI, Ana Cristina Aoun; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta Bento Cicaroni; CARVALHO, Werther Brunow de; PERES, Stela Verzinhasse; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcineli Vieira; BRIZOT, Maria de LourdesIntroduction: Abdominal wall defects (AWD) interfere with postnatal respiratory parameters. We aimed to evaluate lung volume (LV) in fetuses with AWD using three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) and to correlate AWD with the type (omphalocele and gastroschisis) and size of the defect and neonatal morbidity and mortality.Methods: This prospective study included 72 pregnant women with fetuses with AWD and a gestational age <25 weeks. Abdominal volume, 3D US LV, and herniated volume were acquired every 4 weeks up to 33 weeks. LV was compared with normal reference curves and correlated with abdominal and herniated volumes.Results: Omphalocele (p<0.001) and gastroschisis (p<0.001) fetuses had smaller LV than did normal fetuses. LV was positively correlated with abdominal volume (omphalocele, r=0.86; gastroschisis, r=0.88), whereas LV was negatively correlated with omphalocele-herniated volume/abdominal volume (p<0.001, r= -0.51). LV was smaller in omphalocele fetuses that died (p=0.002), were intubated (p=0.02), or had secondary closure (p<0.001). In gastroschisis, a smaller LV was observed in fetuses discharged using oxygen (p=0.002).Discussion/Conclusion: Fetuses with AWD had smaller 3D LV than normal fetuses. Fetal abdominal volume was inversely correlated with LV. In omphalocele fetuses, a smaller LV was associated with neonatal mortality and morbidity.
- Limits of therapeutic intervention in a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit in patients with major congenital anomalies in Brazil(2021) GIBELLI, Maria A. B. C.; CARVALHO, Werther B. de; KREBS, Vera L. J.Aim Major congenital anomalies are an important cause of death in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Therapeutic interventions and the suspension of those already in place often raise ethical dilemmas in neonatal care. Methods We analysed treatments-such as ventilatory support, vasoactive drugs, antibiotics, sedation/or analgesia, central venous access and other invasive procedures-offered up to 48 h before death to all newborns with major congenital anomalies over a 3-year period in a NICU in Brazil. We also gathered information contained in medical records concerning conversations with the families and decisions to limit therapeutic interventions. Results We enrolled 74 newborns who were hospitalised from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2017. A total of 81.1% had central venous access, 74.3% were on ventilatory support, 56.8% received antibiotics and 43.2% used some sedative/analgesic drugs in their final moments. Conversations were registered in medical records in 76% of cases, and 46% of the families chose therapeutic intervention limits. Those who chose to limit therapeutic interventions asked for less exposure to vasoactive drugs (P = 0.003) and antibiotics (P = 0.003), as well as fewer invasive procedures (P = 0.046). There was no change in ventilatory support (P = 0.66), and palliative extubation was not performed for any patient. Conclusions The therapeutic intervention was mainly characterised by maintenance of the current treatment when a terminal situation was identified with no introduction of new treatments that could increase suffering. The families' approach proved to be essential for making difficult decisions in the NICU.
- Breaking Bad News: A Study on Formal Training in a High-Risk Obstetrics Setting(2020) OLIVEIRA, Fernanda F.; BENUTE, Glaucia R. G.; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta B.; NASCIMENTO, Nathalia B.; BARBOSA, Tercilia V. A.; BOLIBIO, Renata; JESUS, Roberta C. A.; GAIOLLA, Paula V. V.; SETUBAL, Maria Silvia V.; GOMES, Ana L.; FRANCISCO, Rossana P.; BERNARDES, Lisandra SteinBackground: Breaking bad news is a frequent task in high-risk obstetrics clinics. Few studies have examined the role of training in improving such a difficult medical task. Aim: To evaluate the influence of a training program on the participants' perceptions of bad news communication at a high-risk obstetrics center. Design: This prospective study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics/Gynecology, Hospital das Clinicas, from March 2016 to May 2017. Setting/Participants: Maternal-fetal health specialists were invited to complete an institutional questionnaire based on the SPIKES protocol for communicating bad news before and after training. The training consisted of theoretical lectures and small group practice using role play. The questionnaire responses were compared using nonparametric tests to evaluate the differences in physicians' perceptions at the two timepoints. The questionnaire items were evaluated individually and in groups following the communication steps of the SPIKES protocol. Results: In total, 110 physicians were invited to participate. Ninety completed the pretraining questionnaire and 40 answered the post-training questionnaire. After training, there were significant improvements in knowing how to prepare the environment before delivering bad news (p=0.010), feeling able to transmit bad news (p<0.001), and to discuss the prognosis (p=0.026), feeling capable of discussing ending the pregnancy (p=0.003), and end-of-life issues (p=0.007) and feeling confident about answering difficult questions (p=0.004). The comparison of the grouped responses following the steps of the SPIKES protocol showed significant differences for ""knowledge"" (p<0.001), ""emotions,"" (p=0.004) and ""strategy and summary"" (p=0.002). Conclusion: The implementation of institutional training in breaking bad news changed the perception of the physicians in the communication setting.
bookPart Infecção fúngica no recém-nascido(2022) KREBS, Vera Lúcia Jornada; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta Bento Cicaroni- Association of spontaneous labor onset with neonatal outcomes in pregnancies with fetal gastroschisis: A retrospective cohort analysis(2019) OSMUNDO JUNIOR, Gilmar de Souza; MOHAMED, Samirah Hosney Mahmoud; NISHIE, Estela Naomi; TANNURI, Ana Cristina Aoun; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta Bento Cicaroni; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcineli Vieira; BRIZOT, Maria de LourdesIntroduction The present study aims to investigate the association of spontaneous labor onset with neonatal outcomes in pregnancies with fetal gastroschisis. The secondary goal was to evaluate the association between ultrasound markers and labor onset in pregnancies with fetal gastroschisis. Material and methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 207 pregnancies with fetal gastroschisis between 2005 and 2017. Patients were followed according to a strict protocol involving ultrasound scans and routine evaluations of fetal biophysical profile parameters and intra- and extra-abdominal bowel diameters. Labor, delivery and neonatal records were reviewed. The neonatal outcomes were complex gastroschisis, staged surgical closure of the abdominal defect, short bowel syndrome, time on mechanical ventilation, time to full enteral feeding and necrotizing enterocolitis. Results Spontaneous labor onset was associated with complex gastroschisis (30.7% vs 6.8%, P = 0.002) and short bowel syndrome (13.2% vs none, P = 0.013) in cases with spontaneous preterm delivery compared with the indicated preterm deliveries. Spontaneous labor onset was associated with a longer time on mechanical ventilation for term and preterm newborns. Associations were not observed between ultrasound markers and spontaneous labor onset. Conclusions Spontaneous labor onset in pregnancies with fetal gastroschisis was associated with adverse neonatal outcomes, particularly in those born preterm.
