Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVO: A Escala de Intensidade de Náuseas e Vômitos Pós-Operatórios (NVPO) foi desenvolvida para definir NVPOs clinicamente importantes. O objetivo deste estudo foi traduzir, retraduzir e validar a Escala de Intensidade de NVPO para uso em unidades de recuperação pósanestésica (RPA) portuguesas. MÉTODO: A Escala de Intensidade de NVPO foi traduzida e retraduzida de acordo com as diretrizes disponíveis. A equipe de pesquisadores conduziu um estudo prospectivo e observacional de coorte em uma RPA. Durante três semanas, avaliamos as NVPO em 157 pacientes adultos internados após cirurgia. As mensurações foram feitas com o uso da Escala Visual Analógica (EVA) nos intervalos de seis e 24 horas durante o período pós-operatório. Avaliamos a confiabilidade e a discordância do observador com o uso do coeficiente de correlação interclasses (CCI) e da medida de discordância baseada na informação (MDBI). Comparamos os escores EVA entre os pacientes com NVPO clinicamente significantes (> 50) e não significantes (< 50). RESULTADOS: Trinta e nove pacientes (25%) apresentaram NVPO em seis horas e 54 (34%) em 24 horas. Trinta e seis pacientes apresentaram náusea em seis horas e 54 em 24 horas. Entre os pacientes com NVPO, os escores de seis pacientes (15%) e nove pacientes (27%) foram clinicamente significantes na Escala de Intensidade de NVPO em seis e 24 horas, respectivamente. A confiabilidade foi boa tanto para os escores da Escala de Intensidade de NVPO quanto para EVA e a discordância entre observadores foi ligeiramente superior para EVA. A mediana dos escores EVA foi maior nos pacientes com escores clinicamente significantes na Escala de Intensidade de NVPO. CONCLUSÃO: A Escala de Intensidade de NVPO parece ser um instrumento de avaliação e monitoramento preciso e confiável de NVPO em RPA.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) Intensity Scale was developed to define clinically important PONV. The aim of this study was to translate, retranslate and validate the PONV Intensity Scale for use in Portuguese Post Anesthetic Care Unit (PACU) settings. METHODS: The PONV Intensity Scale was translated and back-translated in accordance with available guidelines. The research team conducted an observational and cohort prospective study in a PACU. One-hundred fifty-seven adult patients admiited after surgery over three weeks were evaluated for PONV. Measurements included nausea visual analogic scale (VAS) at 6 and 24 hours, postoperatively. We assessed reliability and observer disagreement using interclass correlation (ICC) and Information-Based Measure of Disagreement (IBMD). We compared VAS scores between patients with clinically significant (>50) and not significant (<50) PONV. RESULTS: Thirty-nine patients (25%) had PONV at 6 hours and 54 (34%) had PONV at 24 hours. Thirty-six and 54 patients experienced nausea at 6 and 24 hours, respectively. Among patients with PONV, 6 patients (15%) and 9 patients (27%) had a clinically significant PONV intensity scale score at 6 and at 24 hours, respectively. The reliability was good both for PONV intensity scale score and for VAS and observer disagreement was slightly higher for VAS. The median nausea VAS scores were higher in patients with clinically significant PONV Intensity score. CONCLUSIONS: The PONV Intensity Scale appears to be an accurate and reliable assessment and monitoring instrument for PONV in the PACU settings.
