Introdução: Acidente Isquémico Transitório (AIT) é, classicamente, definido como
conjunto de sinais clĆnicos de um distĆŗrbio focal ou global, da função cerebral ou
retiniana que se desenvolve rapidamente, com duração inferior a 24 horas e sem
causa não vascular aparente. Em 2002, foi proposta uma nova definição, que reduzia
a duração do episódio a menos de 1 hora e sem evidência de enfarte agudo (1). Um
estudo de Maio de 2009, propĆ“s nova definição como sendo āum episódio transitório
de disfunção neurológica, causada por isquemia cerebral, medular, ou retiniana focal,
sem enfarte agudoā (2). Estima-se que ocorram nos EUA cerca de 200.000 a 500.000
mortes anuais relacionadas com AIT (3). Portanto, exige-se uma avaliação e
tratamento preventivo imediato para reduzir o AVC, a incapacidade e morte. A NSA
recomenda a criação de polĆticas de internamento hospitalar e um protocolo de
referenciação rĆ”pida, de avaliação clĆnica e encaminhamento para Unidades de
tratamento especializadas (1).
Objectivo: Criar um Protocolo ClĆnico, para aplicar no Centro Hospitalar Cova da
Beira.
MƩtodos: Recursos bibliogrƔficos de artigos apropriados ao tema fornecidos por parte
do orientador. Pesquisa bibliogrĆ”fica no Pubmed, Medscape e Doctorās Guide com as
keywords: Transient Ischemic Attack, management, definition, emergency department,
diagnostic protocol, guidelines, evaluation, accelerated diagnostic protocol. Revistas do
tema disponĆveis on-line.
Resultados e Discussão: O protocolo inicia-se com uma checklist, que define os
principais sintomas a pesquisar pelo profissional de saĆŗde que recebe o doente no SU.
Inclui tambĆ©m, para inĆcio da avaliação, a data e hora de inĆcio dos sintomas,
observação respiratória, cardĆaca, PA, FC, oximetria e sinais de disfagia. Procede-se Ć
colheita sanguĆnea para anĆ”lise laboratorial que inclui hemograma completo com
plaquetas, provas da coagulação, glicemia, avaliação hepÔtica e renal, ionograma,
PCR ou VS. Realiza-se ainda de imediato TC CE e ECG. Caso o doente apresente
sintomas persistentes, deve-se reencaminhar para Protocolo de AVC. Se os sintomas
reverteram, iniciar tratamento antiplaquetar e avaliar critƩrios de internamento,
incluindo escala ABCD2. Caso o doente reúna critérios de hospitalização é enviado
para UAVC, onde realizarÔ os restantes exames complementares de diagnóstico
imagiológicos, conforme o algoritmo. De desmedida importância nesta fase temos o
EcoDoppler carotĆdeo que, caso evidencie sinais patológicos com estenose superior a
50%, indica necessidade de endarterectomia, com melhores resultados se realizada
em 2 semanas. Outros exames de grande importância são a ecocardiografia
transtorƔcica, AngioTC e Eco Doppler transcraniano. Todos os factores de risco
devem ser tratados, e só prescrita alta clĆnica se cumprir todos os critĆ©rios e sempre
acompanhado de Notificação Informativa para o médico assistente, com todas as
informaƧƵes importantes necessƔrias a um bom acompanhamento posterior.
Conclusão: Um protocolo de actuação rÔpida, faculta maior eficiência no tratamento,
menores custos associados e resultados clĆnicos semelhantes ou melhores.
Introduction: Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) is classically defined as a group of clinical signs of cerebral or retinian functionās focal or global disturbance developing hastily, with a duration inferior to 24 hours and with no apparent vascular cause. In 2002, a new definition that reduced the episode to less than 1 hour and with no evidence of acute infarction, was proposed (1). Mayās 2009 study, suggested a new definition, as being a neuronal disfunction transitory episode caused by ischemia arising from cerebral, spinal or retinian focal, without acute infarction (2). It is estimated that there are about 200.000 to 500.000 annual deaths related to TIA (3). In order to reduce Vascular Cerebral Accident (VCA), incapacity and death, it is demanded immediate evaluation and preventive treatment. NSA recommends creation of hospital internment policies and a quick referentiation protocol of clinical evaluation and guidance to specialized Treatment Unities (1). Objective: Create a Clinical Protocol to apply at Centro Hospitalar Cova da Beira Methods: Bibliographic resources from theme appropriate articles given from the advisor. Bibliographic research at Pubmed, Medscape and Doctorās Guide with the following keywords: Transient Ischemic Attack, management, definition, emergency department, diagnostic protocol, guidelines, evaluation, accelerated diagnostic protocol. Online theme related magazines. Results and Discussion: The protocol begins with a checklist defining the main symptoms that the healthcare professional should look for after receiving the patient at the Emergency Room. It also includes, for purpose of initial evaluation, beginning of symptomsā date and hour, respiratory and cardiac evaluation, arterial blood pressure, cardiac frequency, oximetry and disphagic signals. It is then proceeded to blood samples collection for laboratory analysis that include complete hemogram with platelets, coagulation tests, glycaemia, hepatic and renal evaluation, ionogram, PCR and VS. An immediate TC CE and ECG are also performed. In case of persistent symptoms the patient should be directed to VCAās Protocol. If the symptoms revert, antiplatelet treatment should be initiated and internment criteria should be evaluated, including ABCD2 scale. If it is the case that the patient fulfils hospitalization criteria, the patient should be sent to VCAās Unity, where the rest of imagiologic diagnostic complementary exams will be done, in conformity with the algorithm. Carotid EcoDoppler is of immeasurable value at this phase and if it demonstrates pathological signs with more than 50% stenosis an endarterectomy is needed and should be carried out in 2 weeks as it presents better results. Other exams of great importance are transthoracic echocardioghraphy, AngioTC and transcranial EcoDoppler. All risk factors should be treated and hospital discharge is only given if the patient accomplishes all criteria. The hospital discharge should always be accompanied by an Informative Notification, with all important and necessary information for a good posterior accompaniment from patientās assistant physician. Conclusion: A quick actuation protocol grants more efficiency on treatment, less associated costs and similar or better clinical results.
