Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Descreve-se uma pesquisa sobre Incidentes Críticos (IC) em Anestesia. Os resultados encontrados em 2000 são comparados aos de 1990, na busca de variações de padrão de IC ao longo da década. MÉTODO: Foram utilizados 2 formulários diferentes. No primeiro (F1), constava uma lista pré-determinada de incidentes críticos para que os pesquisados apontassem com quais tinham tido algum tipo de contato para o estudo de freqüência relativa de cada incidente. No segundo (F2), solicitava-se a descrição de um incidente em particular, a critério do pesquisado. RESULTADOS: No F1 de 2000, foram assinalados 9.482 IC, em que os 13 mais freqüentes constituíram 50% de todas as ocorrências do período. Os resultados foram muito similares aos de 1990, já que dentre os mais freqüentes, 9 repetem-se em ambas as investigações. Os incidentes que alcançaram os primeiro e segundo lugares também se repetem: intubação difícil e disritmia cardíaca. Em F2 foram descritos 20% de IC com conseqüência mortal. Cinqüenta e quatro por cento das mortes deveram-se a 5 IC: parada cardíaca inesperada, tromboembolismo pulmonar, infarto agudo de miocárdio, aspiração de vômito e choque hipovolêmico. Quarenta e seis por cento dos IC foram de origem respiratória e 24% tiveram origem hemodinâmica. Destaca-se um aumento significativo de IC na recuperação e no pós-operatório imediato. A observação clínica do paciente foi responsável pela detecção de 63% dos IC. Comprova-se um aumento substancial dos IC relatados como imprevisíveis. CONCLUSÕES: Manteve-se a diversidade de incidentes críticos com diminuição dos fenômenos respiratórios. Este segue sendo o grupo mais freqüente. Há uma clara redução dos acidentes graves hipóxicos vinculados à intubação esofágica e óxido nitroso como gás único. Manteve-se a gravidade dos incidências hemodinâmicos.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: A survey of Critical Incidents (CI) in Anesthesia is described. Year 2000 results are compared to those obtained in 1990 in search for CI pattern changes throughout this decade. METHODS: Two different forms were used: the first, F1, was a list of predetermined CI to determine the relative frequency of each incident. The second, F2, requested the description of a specific incident chosen by the respondent. RESULTS: In F1 forms, 9482 CI were recorded and the 13 most frequent CI accounted for 50% of events. Results were very similar to those found in 1990, since among the most frequent, 9 CI were repeated in both surveys. First and second most common incidents were also repeated: difficult intubation and arrhythmias. In form F2, 20% of CI had fatal consequences. Five CI accounted for 54% of deaths were due to 5 CI: unexpected cardiac arrest, pulmonary thromboembolism, acute myocardial infarction, vomiting aspiration and hypovolemic shock. Respiratory incidents accounted for 46% of CI, and 24% were due to hemodynamic causes. It is to be noted a significant CI increase during recovery and in the immediate postoperative period. Patients’ clinical observation accounted for 63% CI detection. A substantial increase in unpredictable events has been identified. CONCLUSIONS: CI diversity was maintained with decreased respiratory events, although these are still the most frequent. There is a sharp decrease in severe hypoxia accidents related to esophageal intubation and nitrous oxide as single gas. Hemodynamic incidents severity was maintained.
