Importância da fisioterapia no pré e pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca pediátrica

Lung complications during postoperative of pediatric heart surgery are frequently highlighting atelectasis and pneumonia. Physiotherapy has an important role in the treatment of these complications. We reviewed and update the physiotherapy performance in the preoperative and in the postoperative lung complication of pediatric cardiac surgery. We noted efficacy of physiotherapy treatment through different specific techniques and the need for development of new studies.

Joint hypermobility in patients with mitral valve prolapse

Studies on hypermobility have aroused great interest in the last decades, as they are associated to musculoskeletal disorders, as well as abnormalities in several organic systems, such as the mitral valve prolapse. Therefore, in this study, data on the association between joint hypermobility and the mitral valve prolapse were investigated and reviewed. Studies in the literature have shown that genetic alterations in the collagen composition seem to be the main cause of this association.Studies on hypermobility have aroused great interest in the last decades, as they are associated to musculoskeletal disorders, as well as abnormalities in several organic systems, such as the mitral valve prolapse.

Recursos eletrotermofototerapêuticos no tratamento da fibromialgia

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A fibromialgia (FM) e uma sindrome de etiologia desconhecida, de carater cronico e nao articular, com caracteristica tipica de dor difusa pelo corpo, presenca de tenderpoints especificos, fadiga muscular, disturbios do sono, sintomas depressivos e queixas cognitivas. A eletrotermofototerapia e muito utilizada na pratica clinica da fisioterapia como parte do programa global de reabilitacao para a reducao dos sintomas da FM. Este estudo objetivou agrupar e atualizar conhecimentos em relacao aos recursos eletrotermofototerapeuticos que tem sido empregados para o tratamento de pacientes portadores de FM. CONTEUDO: Foi realizada pesquisa da literatura nas bases de dados eletronicas MedLine, LILACS, Cochrane, PubMed e Scielo, no periodo de janeiro de 2005 a dezembro de 2010, sendo encontrados sete artigos potencialmente relevantes. Entre os estudos, dois utilizaram o laser de baixa potencia, quatro utilizaram a estimulacao eletrica e um usou o ultrassom terapeutico. Os recursos eletrotermofototerapeuticos tem sido cada vez mais empregados no tratamento do principal sintoma da FM, a dor. CONCLUSAO: Os recursos eletrotermofototerapeuticos tem sido ferramenta constante no tratamento da FM, no entanto novos recursos como as correntes de estimulacao transcraniana tem surgido, mas as generalizacoes quanto aos beneficios da eletrotermofototerapia, efeitos adversos e doses no tratamento da FM ainda necessitam de novos estudos com maior rigor metodologico.

MOBILIZAÇÃO PRECOCE INTRA-HOSPITALAR EM PACIENTES APÓS ACIDENTE VASCULAR CEREBRAL: REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA

Introduction: Stroke is defined by a clinical syndrome with an abrupt and insidious onset of focal or global vascular changes. Complications related to immobility are common. Early mobilization aims to accelerate the ability to walk or move for these patients. Objective: Identify the repercussions between early mobilization and conventional therapy in patients after stroke during the intra-hospital stay. Material and Methods: We conducted a systematic review of published literature from 2012 to 2016. Databases searched included SciELO, Bireme, Google Scholar, and MedLine/PubMed. The search was limited to Original full-text articles, published in Portuguese, English or Spanish in indexed journal comparing the effects from early mobilization treatment to conventional therapy. Results: The systematic literature search resulted in the identification of 257 articles; of these 42 were selected for a full-text reading. After that only seven studies were included in the review. Of these, four suggest that early mobilization can optimize functional status, two provide evidence that conventional treatment is safer, and only one is inconclusive in relation to the occurrence of severe complications or functional improvement attributed to mobilization precocious in patients after stroke. Conclusion: We observed that the best results occurred with the use of early mobilization 24 hours after the stroke. This led to a long-term functional improvement and reduction of severe complications when compared to conventional therapy. Descriptors: Early Ambulation; Physical Therapy; Stroke; Hospitalization.
