Popis: | To evaluate the incidence and the prediction of unstable blood glucose level among critically ill patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit.A cohort study was conducted with 62 adult patients hospitalized at an intensive care unit of a hospital located in Minas Gerais, Brazil, between March and July of 2017. Patient's demographic information, along with scores for Simplified Acute Physiology Score III, primary medical diagnosis, discharge status, diagnosis of diabetes and/or sepsis, length of stay, glycemic variability, type of nutrition, types of medications and treatments, and oxygen therapy were collected daily. A daily venous blood sample was collected to measure blood glucose levels during the patient's hospitalization period. Bivariate analysis was used to explore the association among the potential diagnostic indicators and the outcome of unstable blood glucose levels. Multivariate Cox regression was used to identify the potential predictors for the outcome.Of the total of 62 participants, 45.1% (n=28) had unstable blood glucose level. Among the 28 patients with unstable blood glucose levels, half of them (n=14, 50%) had hypoglycemia and the other half had hyperglycemia (n=14, 50%). Decreased number of days hospitalized and the use of intensive glucose control with regular insulin were associated with decreased odds of developing hyperglycemia. The presence of mechanical ventilation was associated with a higher risk for the development of hypoglycemia.This study provides knowledge and evidence of diagnostic indicators for unstable blood glucose levels that are not currently included in the NANDA-International terminology for the nursing diagnosis Risk for unstable blood glucose level (00179).This study identified important diagnostic indicators that nurses can observe during the assessment to identify patients that are at risk for developing unstable blood glucose level and provide the appropriate care.Avaliar a incidência e predição de glicemia instável em pacientes adultos internados em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva. MÉTODO: Estudo de coorte concorrente, realizada entre março e julho de 2017, com amostra de 62 pacientes. As variáveis independentes coletadas da admissão do paciente a unidade foram sexo, raça, idade, Simplified Acute Physiology Score III, diagnóstico de internação, tipo de saída, diabetes, sepse, tempo de permanência, variabilidade glicêmica, tipo de nutrição, medicamentos e terapêutica, e oxigenoterapia (cateter nasal e ventilação mecânica). Os dados foram analisados por estatística descritiva e análise de sobrevida com teste de Log-rank e regressão multivariada de Cox.Dos 62 pacientes, 45,1% (n=28) desenvolveram a glicemia instável. Dos 28 pacientes com glicemia instável, metade (n=14, 50%) apresentou hipoglicemia, e a outra metade apresentou hiperglicemia (n=14, 50%). Menor tempo de permanência e controle estrito da glicemia foram fatores de proteção para desenvolvimento de hiperglicemia. Ventilação mecânica foi associada ao desenvolvimento de hipoglicemia. CONCLUSÃO: Este estudo fornece conhecimento e evidência sobre indicadores diagnósticos para o desenvolvimento de glicemia instável, que atualmente não estão incluídos na terminologia da NANDA-Internacional para o diagnóstico de enfermagem Risco de glicemia instável. IMPLICAÇÕES PARA ENFERMAGEM: Este trabalho contribui para o aperfeiçoamento da Taxonomia da NANDA-Internacional e, por conseguinte, da linguagem padronizada de enfermagem. |
