    OBJECTIVE: To describe the frequency and types of tracheal intubation complications and their main causes. METHODS: Cross sectional study of patients who were submitted to tracheal intubation for more than 24 hours at the Pediatric ICU of Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São Paulo, between May 1998 and December 1999. Exclusion criteria were previous intubations, surgeries or traumas in the cervical region or oropharynx. RESULTS: A study of 147 patients with ages varying from 1 month to 15 years and 3 months was carried out. An inadequate tracheal tube had been used in 31.3% of patients submitted to tracheal intubation and 14.3% needed 5 or more attempts to achieve intubation. Resident physicians had more difficulty with intubation. Most tracheal intubation attempts were related to increased traumas, hypoxia, bradycardia and worsening of the Downes score after extubation. Accidental extubation was observed in 21.8%, related to worsening in the score of Downes and need for reintubation. The resident physicians also caused a higher number of traumas and bradycardia. CONCLUSION: Most complications may be attributed to lack of experience and training of the physician performing the tracheal intubation. We should implement training programs and increase supervision during tracheal intubation to minimize these outcomes.

    Implications of extubation failure and prolonged mechanical ventilation in the postoperative period following elective intracranial surgery
    (Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2011-12-01) Vidotto, Milena Carlos [UNIFESP]; Sogame, Luciana Carrupt Machado [UNIFESP]; Gazzotti, Mariana Rodrigues [UNIFESP]; Prandini, Mirto Nelso [UNIFESP]; Jardim, José Roberto [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Vitória Escola Superior de Ciências Departamento de Fisioterapia
    Patients undergoing neurosurgery are predisposed to a variety of complications related to mechanical ventilation (MV). There is an increased incidence of extubation failure, pneumonia, and prolonged MV among such patients. The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of extubation failure and prolonged MV on the following variables: postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC), mortality, reoperation, tracheostomy, and duration of postoperative hospitalization following elective intra-cranial surgery. The study involved a prospective observational cohort of 317 patients submitted to elective intracranial surgery for tumors, aneurysms and arteriovenous malformation. Preoperative assessment was performed and patients were followed up for the determination of extubation failure and prolonged MV (>48 h) until discharge from the hospital or death. The occurrence of PPC, incidence of death, the need for reoperation and tracheostomy, and the length of hospitalization were assessed during the postoperative period. Twenty-six patients (8.2%) experienced extubation failure and 30 (9.5%) needed prolonged MV after surgery. Multivariate analysis showed that extubation failure was significant for the occurrence of death (OR = 8.05 [1.88; 34.36]), PPC (OR = 11.18 [2.27; 55.02]) and tracheostomy (OR = 7.8 [1.12; 55.07]). Prolonged MV was significant only for the occurrence of PPC (OR = 4.87 [1.3; 18.18]). Elective intracranial surgery patients who experienced extubation failure or required prolonged MV had a higher incidence of PPC, reoperation and tracheostomy and required a longer period of time in the ICU. Level of consciousness and extubation failure were associated with death and PPC. Patients who required prolonged MV had a higher incidence of extubation failure.

    Momento da extubação e evolução pós-operatória de toracotomia

    OBJECTIVE: Early tracheal extubation following surgical procedures favors clinical evolution of patients and reduces incidence and time of stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), minimizing hospital costs. Immediate postoperative period of pulmonary resections often takes place in the ICU and patients are kept intubated. This study evaluated hospital records of patients submitted to thoracotomy and a correlation between extubation time, postoperative evolution and ICU stay was established. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of records of 121 patients submitted to pulmonary parenchyma resection (not biopsies) was carried out. Stay in the ICU and time of tracheal extubation were related. Postoperative evolution was classified as good or bad according to occurrence of some of the following conditions: infections, respiratory disorders (reintubation, bronchospasm, acute pulmonary edema, need of tracheotomy, atelectasis, fistulae), re-operation due to bleeding and death. Among the two groups preoperative conditions, anesthetic physical status (American Society of Anesthesyologists - ASA criteria), presence of associated diseases, respiratory functional evaluation and duration of surgery were analyzed. Relative risk was used to evaluate effect of time of extubation (immediate or non-immediate) on the postoperative evolution of patients. RESULTS: Patient distribution related to extubation time was: 81% immediate extubation, 15% non-immediate extubation and 4% not extubated. Destination after surgery was: 73% ICU and 27% post-anesthetic recovery room. Incidence of associated diseases (arterial hypertension, diabetes, obstructive or restrictive pulmonary disease and cardiopaty) among the immediately extubated group and non-immediately extubated group was 37% and 41.6%, respectively. Related to ASA physical status: 62% ASA 1 or 2 in the immediately extubated group and 58.3% ASA 1 or 2 in the non- immediately extubated group. Surgical time was (mean ± standard deviation) 372.34 ± 107.84 minutes and 432.61 ± 117.30 minutes in immediately extubated and non- immediately extubated group, respectively. Relative risk of immediate extubation leading to a poor evolution was of 0.81, while non- immediate extubation leading to a poor evolution was of 1.5. CONCLUSIONS: It's possible safe immediate tracheal extubation of patients submitted to pulmonary resection surgery. This kind of management favors postoperative recuperation out of ICU, which results in patients and hospital benefits, mainly referred to costs.
