Aplicabilidade do Escore de Perme na avaliação da mobilidade funcional de pacientes submetidos à revascularização miocárdica.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the applicability of the Perme Score to determine functional mobility and verify its correlation with clinical and anthropometric variables in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft and admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). Method: Cross-sectional study carried out with 8 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft and admitted to the ICU of a teaching hospital in southern Brazil. Demographic characteristics (age and sex), anthropometric characteristics (body mass index [BMI]), ejection fraction (EF), length of stay (in the ICU and hospital) and mobility were evaluated. functional (Perme Score). Data were presented as absolute frequency, measure of central tendency (median) and dispersion (interquartile range). The correlation between variables was tested using the Pearson correlation test (p<0.05). Results: Men (n= 7) with overweight – obesity (n= 6) prevailed. The median age and EF were 60 years and 60.5% (IQ: 45-79; 45-64), respectively. The median length of stay in the ICU and hospital was respectively 3 and 14 days (IQ: 3-5; 7-27). Regarding functional mobility, the sample presented a median of 17 points on the Perme Score (IQ: 5-29). There was no correlation between the Perme Score and the length of hospital and ICU stay, BMI and EF. Conclusion: The score obtained in the Perme Score of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft did not correlate with the variables of interest, however, monitoring physical function in the ICU is a relevant strategy to determine physical-functional decline, the effectiveness of mobilization practices early and recovery prospects.
