  • Bloqueio Contínuo do Plexo Braquial em Contexto de Urgência
    Publication . Mondim, V; Poeira, R; Pinhal, F; Tomé, I; Casteleira, M
    O bloqueio contínuo do plexo braquial constitui uma técnica anestésica potencialmente vantajosa em situações de trauma grave do membro superior e, particularmente, em cirurgia microvascular. Contribui para a reabilitação precoce, recuperação da função do membro e analgesia no pós-operatório.

  • Edema Pulmonar de Pressão Negativa Após Extubação Traqueal
    Publication . Pinhal, F; Rebelo, L; Mondim, V; Botelho, M
    O edema pulmonar de pressão negativa (EPPN) também descrito na literatura como edema agudo do pulmão pós-obstrutivo ou pós-extubação traqueal, é uma entidade rara, com uma incidência de aproximadamente 0.1 % em doentes anestesiados. Os autores descrevem o caso, ocorrido após extubação traqueal, de um doente submetido a orquidectomia por via laparoscópica sob anestesia geral balanceada. Relatam a fisiopatologia, o padrão radiológico e broncoscópico e as medidas terapêuticas instituídas.

  • Second Primary Neoplasms in Patients With Uveal Melanoma: A SEER Database Analysis
    Publication . Laíns, I; Bartosch, C; Mondim, V; Healy, B; Kim, IK; Husain, D; Miller, JW
    PURPOSE: To determine the risk of second primary neoplasms (SPNs) in subjects previously diagnosed with uveal melanoma (UM), including an analysis on whether radiotherapy is a risk factor to develop these SPNs. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. METHODS: Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 9 database, we identified patients diagnosed with UM as their first malignancy between 1973 and 2011 (n = 3976). We obtained standardized incidence ratios (SIR) and excess absolute risks of SPNs on patients with UM compared to a reference population. Multivariate Cox regression models were used to evaluate the effect of radiotherapy in SPN risk. RESULTS: Sixteen percent (n = 641) of the patients developed SPNs during a median follow-up of 83 months (range, 1-463 months). This represented an 11% excess risk compared to the reference population, mainly owing to a significantly increased risk of skin melanomas (SIR = 2.93, 95% CI: 2.23-3.78) and kidney tumors (SIR = 1.91, 95% CI: 1.27-2.76), primarily in those diagnosed between 30 and 59 years of age. The occurrence of second UM was also increased (SIR = 16.90, 95% CI: 9.00-28.90), which likely includes recurrences misclassified as a second cancer. Radiotherapy was performed in 39% (n = 1538) of the patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that this treatment was not an independent risk factor for SPNs (hazard ratio = 1.06, 95% CI: 0.88-1.26, P = .54). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with UM presented an 11% higher risk of SPNs compared to the reference population. Radiotherapy does not seem to be a risk factor. SPNs should be considered in the surveillance of UM.
