Resumo: | This is a descriptive study with the objective of identifying both clinical and epidemiologic profile of patients who underwent upper or lower limbs amputation. All data was collected at the Clinical Hospital of Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (UFMT) after the project was approved by UFMT Ethics and Research Committee. From January, 2006 to January, 2007, charts from 80 patients who had undergone amputation were analyzed using a structured instrument. Results showed that 71% of the patients lived in Uberaba, 26% were retired, 59% were male and the mean age was 60 years. Amputations of lower limbs were most frequently unilateral (95%) and the etiology was non-traumatic in 81% of the cases. These amputations were associated to diabetes mellitus, peripheral venous disease, venous thrombosis and necrosis of the extremities. Concerning the upper limb amputations, data showed that 80% of the cases were related to traumatic causes. We conclude that lower limb amputations accounted for the majority of all amputations, and patients had vascular disorder and diabetes mellitus. Although preliminary, these results show the importance of preventive measures in order to reduce the number of cases of amputation associated to such complications. |

Los datos fueron recogidos en el Hospital de Clínicas de la Universidad Federal del Triángulo Mineiro - Uberaba - MG, después de la aprobación del Comité de Ética e Investigación de la UFTM. Se analizaron 80 historias clínicas de pacientes sometidos a amputación (población) entre enero del 2006 y enero del 2007. Para obtener los datos se utilizó un instrumento estructurado. Se constató que el 71% de los pacientes vivía en la ciudad de Uberaba; 26% estaba jubilado, 59% era del sexo masculino y la edad promedio era de aproximadamente 60 años. Se comprobó mayor frecuencia de amputaciones unilaterales (95%). Se observó que en la mayoría de las amputaciones de los miembros inferiores (75%) la etiología era no traumática y 81% estaba relacionada con diabetes mellitus, insuficiencia vascular periférica, trombosis venosa y necrosis de extremidades. Con respecto de los miembros superiores el 80% de los casos estaban relacionado a causas traumáticas, distinto de los MI. Se llegó a la conclusión de que la mayoría de los casos de amputación ocurrió en miembros inferiores y que los pacientes presentaban alteraciones vasculares y DM. Estos resultados indican que se necesitan más estudios que enfoquen la prevalencia de amputaciones resultantes de complicaciones de afecciones como DM y alteraciones vasculares. Los datos obtenidos, aún siendo preliminares, permitieron adoptar medidas preventivas para controlar tales problemas en el sentido de reducir los impactos de amputaciones resultantes de estas complicaciones.Este estudo descritivo foi realizado com o objetivo de identificar o perfil clínico e epidemiológico dos pacientes submetidos à amputação de membros superiores (MMSSs) e inferiores (MMIIs). Os dados foram coletados no Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM),Uberaba-MG, após aprovação pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa da UFTM. Foram analisados 80 prontuários de pacientes submetidos à amputação (população) durante o período de janeiro de 2006 a janeiro de 2007. Para a obtenção dos dados, utilizou-se um instrumento estruturado. Evidenciou-se que 71% dos pacientes residiam na cidade de Uberaba, 26% eram aposentados, 59% eram do sexo masculino e a média da idade foi de aproximadamente 60 anos. Verificou-se maior freqüência de amputações unilaterais (95%). Observou-se que na maioria das amputações dos MMIIs (75%) a etiologia foi não traumática (81%) estando relacionadas ao diabetes mellitus, insuficiência vascular periférica, trombose venosa e necrose de extremidades. Com relação aos MMSSs, 80% dos casos estavam relacionados a causas traumáticas, diferentemente dos MMIIs. Concluiu-se que a maioria dos casos de amputação ocorreu no MMII e os pacientes apresentavam alterações vasculares e DM. Esses resultados apontam para a necessidade de mais estudos abordando a prevalência de amputações decorrentes de complicações de afecções como DM e alterações vasculares. Os dados obtidos, embora preliminares, possibilitaram a adoção de medidas preventivas no controle dessas afecções no sentido de reduzir os impactos de amputação decorrentes dessas complicações.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2008-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/plainapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50599REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 12 No. 3 (2008)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 12 Núm. 3 (2008)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; v. 12 n. 3 (2008)2316-93891415-2762reponame:Reme (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50599/42370https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50599/42371Copyright (c) 2008 Reme: Revista Mineira de Enfermageminfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarbosa, Maria HelenaLima, Ana Carolina Cardoso deBarichello, Elizabeth2024-01-24T18:37:26Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/50599Revistaremeufmg@gmail.comPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/oairemeufmg@gmail.com2316-93891415-2762opendoar:2024-01-24T18:37:26Reme (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |
