Category: Safety / Quality / Management   Introduction: In recent years, there has been great interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in healthcare. However, the issues related to AI’s implementation, ethical use, and safety are not consensual and have not yet been adequately addressed.() Objective: Report the experience of the Einstein Network for Critically Ill Patients, focusing on the dilemmas and possible […]

III Einstein International Symposium on Intensive Care and the XXX International Symposium on Mechanical Ventilation. Aug 16-18, 2023. Category: Cardiology Introduction: Occurrences of cardiorespiratory arrest outside the hospital are serious and represent a major public health problem. According to the Brazilian Society of Cardiology, cardiovascular diseases are the most responsible for deaths in Brazil, totaling from January to June 2023 approximately 179,656 deaths. Such numbers demonstrate the importance of offering the lay population adequate training on first aid in these […]

III Einstein International Symposium on Intensive Care and the XXX International Symposium on Mechanical Ventilation. Aug 16-18, 2023. Category: Safety / Quality / Management Introduction: Mechanical Ventilation (MV) is a fundamental clinical support for maintaining life in severe clinical conditions of respiratory failure.() Therefore, the management of critical patients on MV by the nurse, a member of the multidisciplinary team, is extremely important for achieving the therapeutic goal in the prevention of adverse and infectious events, especially when guided by […]

III Einstein International Symposium on Intensive Care and the XXX International Symposium on Mechanical Ventilation. Aug 16-18, 2023. Category: Cardiology Introduction: The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a complex care unit that aims to safely and effectively care for the patient who needs careful attention, in order to achieve clinical improvement. Among the treatment modalities used in the ICU, several technologies can be included, either to replace or to help the patients’ vital functions, inserting the support of drungs and […]

III Einstein International Symposium on Intensive Care and the XXX International Symposium on Mechanical Ventilation. Aug 16-18, 2023. Category: Safety / Quality / Management Introduction: Integration of biobank information into the OMOP Common Data Model (CDM) presents both opportunities and challenges in the field of healthcare data management. However, the process of mapping biobank information to the OMOP CDM poses various challenges, including data harmonization, standardization of terminologies, ensuring data quality, and addressing privacy and ethical considerations.() Objective: To demonstrate […]

III Einstein International Symposium on Intensive Care and the XXX International Symposium on Mechanical Ventilation. Aug 16-18, 2023. Category: Safety / Quality / Management   Introduction: On March 11, 2020, the WHO characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic.() Since then, emergency services have played a crucial role in the care network for these patients.() The increased demand in emergency services has led these environments to become not only stabilization units but also admission units for patients awaiting ward or ICU beds.() […]

III Einstein International Symposium on Intensive Care and the XXX International Symposium on Mechanical Ventilation. Aug 16-18, 2023. Category: Palliative care Introduction: Palliative Care (PC) promotes quality of life in the face of life-threatening illnesses, providing physical, psychosocial and spiritual assistance to patients and their families. When approached within the training academy, within nursing students, it is still a little explored theme, thus requesting means that facilitate the approach. Educational technological products, in the context of health, are instruments that […]

III Einstein International Symposium on Intensive Care and the XXX International Symposium on Mechanical Ventilation. Aug 16-18, 2023. Category: Pneumology Introduction: About 35% of patients admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICU) require mechanical ventilation. Prolonged mechanical ventilation predisposes patients to increased risks of MV- associated pneumonia, tracheal ischemia, lung damage, and diaphragmatic dysfunction. Such problems increase the risk of mortality and complications. Among the proposed treatments in these cases, inspiratory muscle training has been used as a means of improving […]

III Einstein International Symposium on Intensive Care and the XXX International Symposium on Mechanical Ventilation. Aug 16-18, 2023. Category: Pneumology Introduction: Musculoskeletal dysfunction results in disability and mortality in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). () Body mass, weight and height influence quadriceps muscle thickness. Thus, the thigh sonographic index (IST) becomes a reliable parameter in the assessment of muscle mass by ultrasound in COPD.() Objective: Analyze anterior thigh muscle thickness from the adjusted thigh sonographic index in patients […]
