Objectives:
to evaluate the risk of postoperative complications in cardiac patients.
Methods:
an evaluative study using the Tuman Score on medical records of 70 adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery at a University Hospital. The R for Windows software was used for the analyses. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis were employed to verify the association between the risk score and complications. The relative risk between the Tuman Score and postoperative complications was obtained through Quasi-Poisson regression, with a 95% confidence interval.
Results:
the majority of the patients were male (58.57%), aged between 41-64 years (50%), who underwent myocardial revascularization (50%). These patients were associated with a lower risk of postoperative complications (p=0.003), (p=0.008), and (p=0.000), respectively. High-risk patients had pulmonary complications (RR=1.32, p=0.002) and neurological complications (RR=1.20, p=0.047).
Conclusions:
preoperative risk assessment promotes qualified care to reduce postoperative complications.

Objectives:
to describe researchers’ experience in collecting data from families of femicide victims.
Methods:
this descriptive, qualitative study took the form of an experience report and was conducted in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. It involved documentary consultation, training researchers, scheduling and conducting interviews, and using a field diary to record the researchers’ perceptions and experiences.
Results:
the descriptions and photographs of the crime scene were both distressing and impactful for the researchers. The mementos of the victims (including clothing, objects, and childhood photos) shown by their families were deeply moving. Identifying with these experiences facilitated listening to the stories told by the relatives. It was essential to maintain a non-judgmental attitude, acknowledge the loss, provide support for the suffering, and demonstrate a willingness to help.
Final Considerations:
the experience encompassed both theoretical and methodological aspects that were planned and executed in data collection, fostering the development of skills and sensitivity towards the cases. Beyond knowledge and preparation, researchers are expected to exhibit ethical conduct and empathetic capacity.

Objective:
To analyze reflective practice in the teaching-learning process of nurses in residency programs in teaching hospitals in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Methods:
Case study, based on the reflective practice framework, conducted in two teaching hospitals. Observation and interviews were conducted with first and second-year residents, and five participants were included for in-depth analysis, with their data subjected to frequency distribution analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis.
Results:
In 519 observed activities, elements of reflection were identified in 22.2%, especially active listening and expression of doubts. Discourses indicated practice as the best moment for teaching-learning due to its potential to generate reflections. Learning by doing and case discussion were considered potential strategies for reflective learning.
Conclusion:
Know-in-action reflection was evidenced as the predominant formative aspect for residents, with few opportunities for reflection on reflection-in-action.

Objectives:
to determine which component items of hospital bills, examined by nurse auditors, were adjusted the most during pre-analysis; to identify the impact upon revenue caused by the adjustments to bills analyzed by physician and nurse auditors; and to identify disallowances related to items checked by the audit team.
Method:
quantitative, exploratory, descriptive, singlecase study.
Results:
after analysis of 2,613 bills, it was found that the item most included by nurses was gas (90.5%) and the most excluded was inpatient drugs (41.2%). Hemodynamics materials, gases and equipment had the greatest impact on upward adjustments. Downward adjustments were the result of improper entries on bills and did not generate revenue losses. Of total disallowances, 52.24% were related to the pre-analysis of nurses and 47.76% to that of physicians.
Conclusion:
this study of the pre-analysis process provides input that enhances knowledge about hospital bill audits.

Objective:
to construct and validate an orientation video, based on a low-fidelity clinical simulation scenario, to prevent immunization errors.
Methods:
a methodological study with video construction, validated in two stages by different audiences. Content was selected based on a realistic simulation scenario of the vaccine administration process to a patient-actor. Items with concordance greater than 0.8 and 0.6 were considered valid, verified using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and the Content Validity Ratio (CVR), respectively.
Results:
judges’ CVI had an average of 97.5%, and CVR, 0.9, and health professionals’ CVI, 95.4%, and CVR, 0.8. Successes in administering vaccines were addressed, such as careful reading of labels, double-checking the vaccine, distractions/interruptions and error reporting.
Conclusions:
the video was constructed and validated in terms of content, and can be used in training professionals working in vaccination.

Objetivo:
investigar la asociación entre la variabilidad glucémica y la mortalidad en pacientes ingresados en unidades de cuidados intensivos oncológicos.
Métodos:
Se llevó a cabo un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo utilizando una muestra de conveniencia de 30 historias clínicas de pacientes de ambos sexos mayores de 18 años. La variabilidad glucémica se midió utilizando la desviación estándar y la amplitud general. El análisis estadístico se realizó utilizando la curva ROC (receiver operating characteristic) y el área bajo la curva (AUC). El nivel de significancia (α) se estableció en un 5% con un intervalo de confianza (IC) del 95%.
Resultados:
El estudio incluyó a 14 pacientes masculinos (46,67%) con una edad media de 60±15 años. Se recopilaron un total de 1503 muestras de glucemia. El análisis AUC para la desviación estándar no mostró ningún resultado estadísticamente significativo (p = 0,966; IC del 95% = [0,283, 0,726]). Por el contrario, la amplitud general tuvo una asociación estadísticamente significativa con la mortalidad (p = 0,049; IC del 95% = [0,514, 0,916]).
Conclusiones:
Este estudio encontró que la variabilidad glucémica medida por la amplitud general está significativamente asociada con la mortalidad del paciente en unidades de cuidados intensivos oncológicos. Estos hallazgos sugieren que el monitoreo de la variabilidad glucémica puede ser un factor importante en el manejo de pacientes críticamente enfermos en unidades de cuidados intensivos oncológicos.

Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the association between glycemic variability and mortality in patients admitted to oncologic intensive care units.
Methods:
A retrospective cohort study was conducted using a convenience sample of 30 medical records of patients over 18 years of age of both sexes. Glycemic variability was measured using the standard deviation and general amplitude. Statistical analysis was performed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC). The significance level (α) was set at 5% with a confidence interval (CI) of 95%.
Results:
The study included 14 male patients (46.67%) with a mean age of 60±15 years. A total of 1503 blood glucose samples were collected. The AUC analysis for the standard deviation did not show a statistically significant result (p=.966; 95% CI=[0.283, 0.726]). In contrast, the general amplitude had a statistically significant association with mortality (p=.049; 95% CI=[0.514, 0.916]).
Conclusions:
This study found that glycemic variability measured by the general amplitude was significantly associated with patient mortality in oncologic intensive care units. These findings suggest that monitoring glycemic variability may be an important factor in the management of critically ill patients in oncologic intensive care units.
