Resumo

Objetivo: O menor tempo de jejum para cirurgias tem sido associado a melhor recuperação pós-operatória e menor morbimortalidade. No entanto, nem sempre é possível alcançar as recomendações atuais na prática pediátrica. Sendo assim, é essencial conhecer o tempo de jejum e seus fatores associados para elaboração de estratégias assistenciais.

Métodos: Coorte com 284 pacientes pediátricos admitidos para cirurgia entre 2020-2021, no Hospital São Paulo, Brasil. Dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevista e do prontuário médico. Para o estudo das associações foram ajustados modelos de regressão linear e logística simples e múltiplos.

Resultados: Todos pacientes apresentaram jejum pré-operatório prolongado e a maioria reiniciou a dieta após 6 horas do término anestésico. O tempo de jejum pré-operatório para cirurgias eletivas foi menor do que para as de urgências (p=0,025). Os fatores associados ao maior tempo de jejum pré-operatório (minutos) foram: maior idade em anos (β=10; IC95%=5,2-14,8) e ocorrência de cirurgia anterior (β=76,6; IC95%=28,0-125,1). Os fatores associados ao tempo de jejum pós-operatório superior a 6h foram: não realização do pós-operatório imediato na enfermaria cirúrgica (OR=6,05; IC95%=2,25-16,22), presença de complicações durante a cirurgia (OR=3,53; IC95%=1,19-10,47), porte cirúrgico maior (OR=3,85; IC95%=1,49-9,93), cirurgia do tipo abdominal (OR=36,52; IC95%=13,48-98,91) e presença de vômitos nas primeiras 24 horas de pós-operatório (OR=3,44; IC95%=1,54-7,69).

Conclusão: Há fatores potencialmente modificáveis que foram associados ao maior tempo de jejum. Treinamento e organização da equipe assistencial quanto às características dos pacientes, dinâmica do atendimento e intercorrências clínicas podem contribuir com maior adequação do tempo de jejum de pacientes pediátricos internados para procedimentos cirúrgico.

Abstract

Introduction: Shorter fasting periods before and after surgery have been associated with better postoperative recovery and lower morbidity and mortality. However, it is not always possible to achieve current recommendations in pediatric practice. Therefore, it is essential to study fasting time and its associated factors to implement better care strategies.

Methods: Cohort of 284 pediatric patients admitted for surgery between 2020-2021, Hospital São Paulo, Brazil. Data was collected through interviews and medical records. Simple and multiple linear models and logistic regression models were adjusted to study the associations.

Results: All preoperative patients fasted for a prolonged period and most resumed feeding 6 hours after the end of anesthesia. Preoperative fasting time was shorter for elective surgery than for urgent surgery (p=0.025). Factors associated with a longer preoperative fasting time (minutes) were: older age in years (ß=10; 95% CI=5.2-14.8) and history of previous surgery (ß=76.6; 95% CI=28.0-125.1). Factors associated with postoperative fasting time longer than 6 hours were: no immediate postoperative care in the surgical ward (OR=6.05; 95%CI=2.25-16.22), presence of complications during surgery (OR=3. 53; 95%CI=1.19-10.47), major operation size (OR=3.85; 95%CI=1.49-9.93), abdominal surgery (OR=36.52; 95%CI=13.48-98.91) and vomiting in the first 24 hours (OR=3.44; 95%CI=1.54-7.69).

Conclusion: There are potentially modifiable factors associated with longer fasting times. Education and organization of the healthcare team regarding patient characteristics, care dynamics, and clinical complications may contribute to greater optimization of fasting times in pediatric surgical patients.
