Resumo Com o objetivo de analisar as relações interprofissionais produzidas a partir da alta responsável, na perspectiva e no agir da enfermagem durante o a pandemia de COVID-19, realizou-se um estudo qualitativo, tipo estudo de caso. A técnica de pesquisa foi a observação participante de uma enfermaria de hospital de grande porte do SUS na cidade de São Paulo. A produção de narrativas e a análise micropolítica das relações fez emergir dois planos de visibilidade: para além da alta responsável - a antropofagia dos arranjos tecnológicos do cuidado e a ambivalência da enfermagem na produção das relações interprofissionais; e alta médico-centrada e alta negociada - o entrecruzamento com outros profissionais, com as famílias e com a vida “como ela é”. A pandemia de COVID interrompeu as visitas multiprofissionais e foi um analisador das relações interprofissionais. A partir de uma inteligência astuciosa, a enfermagem negocia a alta com os médicos, que detêm este poder, e aciona a equipe, a partir de uma autonomia elástica. A alta responsável por si só não foi capaz de produzir um plano comum de ação interprofissional, de modificar os papéis instituídos no hospital, situação que recrudesceu durante a pandemia mas abriu condições para o aumento da profissionalização da equipe.

Abstract A qualitative-case study was carried out aimed at analyzing the interprofessional relationships generated by the planned discharge from the nursing actions’ perspective during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study method was the participating observation by one nurse who works in a large SUS hospital in the city of São Paulo. The production of narratives and the micropolitics analysis resulted in two diverse visibility plans: beyond the planned discharge the anthropophagy of the technological arrangements for care and the ambivalence of the nursing staff in the production of interprofessional relationships; and the medical discharge and negotiated discharge: the intersecting with other professionals, with the families and with “real” life. The pandemic interrupted the multiprofessional visits and it was an analyzer of the interprofessional relationships. Wittingly, the nursing staff negotiates the discharges with physicians, who retain this power, and sets the team in motion using an elastic autonomy. The planned discharge alone was not able to guarantee a common interprofessional action plan, was not able to modify the constituted roles in the hospital, a situation that increased during the pandemic, but allowed the right setting aimed to increase the team’s professionalism.

Abstract Introduction Chronic constipation (CC) is a highly prevalent disease in Western society. Chronic constipation can have a different etiology in patients who underwent a cesarean section and result from postoperative stress and metabolic response to trauma, analgesic agents, immobilization, and dietary restrictions. Chronic constipation may also occur due to puerperium-related psychological changes and to the stretching and weakening of the perineal and abdominal muscles after childbirth. Objectives The present study analyzes intestinal transit restoration after a cesarean section and the influence of osmotic laxative agents. Methods The present prospective, nonrandomized sample study used the ROME III questionnaire and the Bristol stool scale in adult women who underwent a cesarean section. We divided the subjects into 2 groups, each with 30 patients, to compare the effect of the prophylactic administration of an osmotic laxative. Results We evaluated 60 randomly-chosen pregnant women from the Obstetrics ward of Hospital Santa Marcelina, São Paulo, SP, Brazil, from October 2019 to March 2020. Their mean age was 26.8 years old, and the mean gestation time was 37.95 weeks. Ten patients (16.7%) presented with constipation before the cesarean section, and 38 (63.3%) had a bowel movement after the procedure. However, in 84.2% of these patients, the usual stool consistency worsened. After the cesarean section, 46.7% of the women who did not receive laxative agents had a bowel movement, compared with 80% of those who did (p = 0.0074). Conclusion Some factors, including those related to the procedure, may hamper intestinal transit restoration after a cesarean section. Osmotic laxative agents can facilitate transit restoration with no negative effects in this group of patients.
