    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Studies show the importance of monitoring neuromuscular function in preventing the residual block. However, most anesthesiologists in their daily practice base their evaluation of the recovery of neuromuscular function on clinical data. The aim of this study was to assess the degree of neuromuscular blockade in children undergoing general anesthesia at the time of block reversal and the removal of the endotracheal tube. METHOD: We evaluated children between 3 months and 12 years of age undergoing general anesthesia with the use of atracurium or rocuronium. Monitoring was initiated at the time of reversal of neuromuscular blockade and/or removal of the endotracheal tube. The anesthesiologist was not informed about the T4/T1 value; he/she was only alerted when the time was inadequate for the removal of the endotracheal tube. Since the start of the monitoring process, the degree of neuromuscular blockade was registered, as well as the interval of recovery of the T4/T1 > 0,9 ratio, the doses of neostigmine and blocker used, the expired fraction of the inhalational agent, the duration of the anesthesia, and core and peripheral temperatures. RESULTS: Neuromuscular blockade was reversed in 80% of the children of the Rocuronium Group and in 64.5% of the Atracurium Group. The reversal was incorrect in 45.8% of the Rocuronium Group and in 25% of the Atracurium Group. The incidence of T4/T1 < 0.9 at the time of the removal of the endotracheal tube was 10% in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: When deciding to remove the endotracheal tube based on clinical criteria, 10% of children had T4/T1 < 0.9 regardless the blocker received. A considerable number of patients had the neuromuscular blockade incorrectly reversed when the blockade was still too deep or even already recovered.

    Educação em diabetes: papel e resultados das colônias de férias
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Endocrinologia e Metabologia, 1998-12-01) Vivolo, Marco Antonio [UNIFESP]; Monteiro, Odete de Oliveira [UNIFESP]; Ferreira, Sandra Roberta Gouvea [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Improving diabetes care is essential to preserve quality of life and longevity. The achievement of this goal depends on the diabetes education. Different health care centers have developed diabetes programmes based on regional characteristics and availability of resources. Our experience with educational summer camp (SC) for type 1 diabetic subjects is presented. The UNIFESP-ADJ SC aims to promote diabetes education at leisure with the participation of a multiprofessional team who has the opportunity to improve knowledge and skills in diabetes management. Seven-hundred-ninety subjects participated in 18 camps. The 9-day camp programme included adequate diet and exercise 3 times a day. Capillary glucose is monitored with appropriate insulin closes adjustments. The same questionnaire is applied at the beginning and end of the camping period in order to evaluate knowledge improvement in diabetes; they are invited to participate in educational daily meetings. Also the multiprofessional team meets every night for cases discussion. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, urine an blood samples are obtained. Individual recordings are provided to the respective families and physicians at the end of the camping period. The SCs have allowed diabetic subjects to recognize the possibility of a normal life. Improvement of knowledge in diabetes was confirmed by the comparison of questionnaires scores. They experienced the benefits of an adequate diet associated with exercise for glucose control and understood its importance to prevent long-term complications. Hypoglycemia occured more frequently, but they learned how to identify symptoms and to treat them. Blood pressure, plasma glucose and lipoproteins levels were reduced. The multiprofessional team recognized the role of diabetes education and developed skills to improve effectiveness of diabetes care. The complexity of diabetes treatment required the participation of the patient and its family in order to achieve metabolic control. Short-term benefits of diabetes education are seen by patients and their families. Assuming that metabolic control is necessary to prevent diabetic chronic complications, long-term benefits should be detected by the implementation of educational SCs for diabetic youngsters. The proposed modality of diabetes education in SCs showed to be reliable and effective, contributing to improve health of diabetic people and the quality of diabetes management. We concluded that such proposal should become more widespread.
