Abstract

ABSTRACT Objectives: to verify sociodemographic, academic and health risk factors for Central Nervous System drug use among nursing students. Methods: a cross-sectional study with 199 public undergraduate students from Ceará, using Characterization Instrument, Antonovsky’s Sense of Coherence Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory. Fischer’s exact test and Pearson’s chi-square test were performed, verifying an association between variables. Prevalence ratio was used. Results: a total of 34 used such drugs, with predominance of use of anxiolytics, associated with age (p=0.026), dissatisfaction with the relationship between classmates (p=0.003), insomnia (p=0.009), chronic disease (p=0.001), depression (p=0.035), and severe anxiety (p=0.023). Conclusions: using Central Nervous System drugs among students was associated with sociodemographic, academic and health factors, evidencing the need for actions promoting undergraduate students’ mental health.

Abstract

Introduction. The use of illicit psychoactive substances during pregnancy is a growing problem. Few Latin American maternity centers implement a screening strategy, and published data are scarce. Objectives. To compare the outcomes of 2 five-year periods of a postpartum strategy to screen for illicit psychoactive drugs. Population and methods. This was a cross-sectional study. Immunoassay detection in urine of mother-newborn infant dyads in an Argentine public hospital between 2009 and 2018. Results. Substances were detected in 76/191 dyads over 10 years. The most frequent detection criterion was reporting or history of drug use: 25/37 and 32/39 in each five-year period. Cannabis (21/37 and 26/39) and cocaine (19/37 and 16/39) predominated in both periods. No differences were observed in demographic, gynecological, pregnancy, or neonatal data between both five-year periods. Conclusions. No differences were found in the frequency or type of substances detected over 10 years., (Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría.)

Abstract

The use of psychotropic drugs is increasingly frequent due to emerging problems such as depression.We present the case of a 47-year-old woman who received antidepressant treatment (fluoxetine andlevomepromazine) and arrived at the emergency room because lost consciousness in her home, evidencingtwo episodes of pulseless ventricular tachycardia during her hospital stay that responded satisfactorily todefibrillation and advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The prolongation of the QT interval associated withthe use of antidepressants and antipsychotics, as well as their risk factors, is discussed. Finally, it is importantto have on mind the relationship between psychotropic drugs and potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias,making it necessary to perform an electrocardiogram to these patients who consult the emergency room., El uso de psicofármacos es cada vez más frecuente por problemas emergentes como la depresión.Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 47 años que recibía tratamiento antidepresivo (fluoxetina ylevomepromazina) y fue llevada a emergencia por presentar en su domicilio trastorno de conciencia súbito,evidenciándose durante su estancia hospitalaria dos episodios de taquicardia ventricular sin pulso querespondieron satisfactoriamente a desfibrilación y reanimación cardiopulmonar avanzada. Se comenta laprolongación del intervalo QT asociada a uso de antidepresivos y antipsicóticos, así como sus factores deriesgo. Finalmente se destaca la importancia de tener presente la relación entre psicofármacos y arritmiasventriculares potencialmente fatales, siendo necesario realizar un electrocardiograma a estos pacientes queconsulten al servicio de emergencia.
