Effectiveness of a new thermal insulation blanket in the control of inadvertent...
Carvalho, Isaura; Carvalho, Miguel; Abelha, Fernando; Martins, TeresaBackground Disturbances in the thermoregulatory system can precipitate inadvertent hypothermia in patients undergoing surgeries lasting over 60 min, causing serious complications in the recovery process. Cutaneous thermal protection is relevant for the control of temperature of patients in the perioperative setting. The standard thermal protection widely utilized is an electric forced warm air blanket. This stu...
Development of a perioperative thermal insulation system: Testing comfort prope...
Carvalho, Isaura; Carvalho, Miguel; Fontes, Liliana; Martins, Teresa; Abelha, Fernandohe poorly physical and psychological conditions of the patients make the body thermal protection crucial in the perioperative context, due to the risk of hypothermia. The lack of evidence regarding the effectiveness of textile coverings in protecting patients in the operating room, underscores the recommendation of the forced warming system using non-woven fabric for ensuring the best thermal protection in the ...

Esteves, Simão; Barros, Filinto Correia de; Nunes, Catarina S.; Puga, Andreia; Gomes, Blandina; Abelha, Fernando; Machado, Humberto; Ferreira, MileneBackground: Although the use of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) optimizes surgical conditions and facilitates tracheal intubation, it can lead to residual neuromuscular blockade (RNMB), with postoperative complications. This study aimed to assess RNMB incidence and management in Portugal. Methods: Prospective observational study of patients admitted for elective surgery requiring general anesthesia with n...
Are frail patients more susceptible to intraoperative hypotension and 30-day mo...
Fonseca, Diana; Gomes, Fátima; Barros, Marisa; Rouxinol-Dias, Ana Lídia; Fernandes, Mariana; Machado, Andreia; Rodrigues, Diana; Lusquinhos, JoãoIntroduction: Frailty has been considered to be an important predictor of surgical morbimortality, influencing both short and long-term postoperative mortality. Despite this association, less is known about frailty's impact in intraoperative hemodynamic stability, namely intraoperative hypotension, which may influence postoperative outcomes. We aimed to evaluate if frail patients submitted to elective surgery a...

Os principais objetivos deste estudo foram carate...
Patient Satisfaction with Anesthesia Care After Curative Surgery for Neoplastic
Carvalho, Beatriz; Azevedo, Joana; Soares, Mariana; Marinho, Ramiro; Sousa, Mara; Silva, Diana; Gonçalves, Paula Maia; Pereira, Luis; Abelha, FernandoIntroduction: Satisfaction is an important measure for the evaluation of patient care and a significant tool for promoting improvements in clinical practice. We aimed to evaluate the association of quality of recovery and anesthesia related factors with patient satisfaction with anesthesia care (PSAC) after curative neoplastic surgery. Material and Methods: An observational, prospective study was performed in p...
