Resumo

CONTEXTO: Trabalho realizado na área de cirurgia vascular, porém relevante a todas as especialidades clínicas e cirúrgicas devido à importância clínica da trombose venosa profunda e sua principal complicação, a embolia pulmonar. OBJETIVOS: Verificar se a profilaxia para a trombose venosa profunda está sendo utilizada de forma adequada e rotineira em nosso serviço e avaliar o conhecimento dos médicos sobre as indicações de profilaxia medicamentosa. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo prospectivo com 850 pacientes internados de março a maio de 2007 no Hospital Geral de Roraima. Foram pesquisados fatores clínicos, medicamentosos e cirúrgicos. A estratificação de risco e a avaliação da profilaxia foram estabelecidas conforme a classificação recomendada pela Sociedade Brasileira de Angiologia e Cirurgia Vascular e o protocolo realizado por Caiafa em 2002. Os médicos responderam a um questionário e analisaram três casos clínicos hipotéticos. Os dados foram tabulados e analisados estatisticamente usando o programa de computador Epi-Info 2002®. RESULTADOS: Dos 850 pacientes estudados, 557 (66,66%) eram clínicos e 293 (33,34%) cirúrgicos. Do total, 353 pacientes (41,56%) foram classificados como baixo risco, 411 (48,32%) como médio risco e 86 (10,12%) como alto risco para desenvolver trombose venosa profunda. Dos 497 pacientes que necessitavam receber profilaxia medicamentosa para trombose venosa profunda, apenas 120 (24%) a receberam; destes, 102 (85%) a receberam de forma correta. Dos que não necessitavam de profilaxia, nenhum a recebeu. Os clínicos prescreveram mais e de forma mais correta a profilaxia em relação aos cirurgiões, apesar de estes terem demonstrado possuir um melhor conhecimento teórico do tema. No geral, o conhecimento teórico sobre trombose venosa profunda foi insuficiente. CONCLUSÕES: Em nosso serviço, a profilaxia medicamentosa da trombose venosa profunda é subutilizada em pacientes com indicação para recebê-la, tornando necessária a implementação de um programa de educação continuada sobre o tema.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Although this work belongs to the area of vascular surgery, it is relevant to all clinical and surgical specialties due to the clinical importance of deep venous thrombosis and its main complication, pulmonary embolism. OBJECTIVES: To verify whether pharmacological prophylaxis of deep venous thrombosis is being adequately and routinely used in our service and to evaluate physicians' knowledge about the indications of deep venous thrombosis chemoprophylaxis. METHODS: A prospective study was accomplished including 850 patients hospitalized from March to May 2007 at Hospital Geral de Roraima. Clinical, pharmacological and surgical factors were researched. Risk stratification and evaluation of prophylaxis were established according to the classification suggested by the Brazilian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery and to the protocol developed by Caiafa in 2002. Physicians answered a questionnaire and analyzed three hypothetical clinical cases. Data were tabled and statistically analyzed with the support of the software Epi-Info 2002®. RESULTS: Of the 850 patients surveyed, 557 (66.66%) were clinical and 293 (33.34%) were surgical patients. Of the total, 353 (41.56%) had low risk, 411 (48.32%) medium risk and 86 (10.12%) high risk for development of deep venous thrombosis. Of the 497 patients that needed to receive chemoprophylaxis for deep venous thrombosis, only 120 (24%) received it and of these, 102 (85%) received it adequately. Any patient who did not need prophylaxis received it. Clinical physicians prescribed prophylaxis more frequently and correctly than surgeons, although the latter have demonstrated better theoretical knowledge of the theme. In general, theoretical knowledge on deep venous thrombosis was insufficient. CONCLUSIONS: In our hospital, chemoprophylaxis for deep venous thrombosis is underused in patients indicated for receiving it. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a continuous education program about this theme.
