Abstract(s)
O estágio final da Licenciatura em Enfermagem Veterinária foi realizado pela
aluna no AniCura Alma Veterinária Hospital Veterinário, onde foram acompanhados
1005 animais de companhia e 27 novos animais de companhia. Durante o estágio, a
aluna esteve alocada a vários departamentos, como apoio a consultas, cirurgia,
consultas de enfermagem veterinária e internamento, com o objetivo geral de
acompanhar as rotinas diárias do hospital e desempenhar funções na área da
enfermagem veterinária. O maneio da dor em animais de companhia é
imprescindível em Medicina Veterinária. O estudo aprofundado da fisiologia da dor,
assim como o desenvolvimento de competências para o seu reconhecimento e
avaliação, são de extrema importância. A pesquisa realizada relativamente aos
diferentes tipos de dor, escalas de dor, e terapias farmacológicas e não
farmacológicas, permitiu uma melhor compreensão relativo ao maneio da dor, bem
como a importância de elaborar planos para maneio da dor personalizados, visando
melhorar o bem-estar animal e os resultados na recuperação. Foram também
relatados três casos clínicos, um relativo a dor crónica e dois relativos a dor aguda,
para uma melhor compreensão das diferenças entre esses tipos de dor, assim como
das distinções no diagnóstico e tratamento.
O enfermeiro veterinário desempenha um papel crucial na avaliação e
reconhecimento da dor, seja em situações de triagem de urgência, consultas de
controlo pós-cirúrgico ou em casos de internamento. A avaliação abrangente dos
aspetos comportamentais e fisiológicos do paciente, utilizando as Escalas de Dor
disponíveis, é fundamental para garantir um plano de tratamento adequado à
condição de cada animal.
The final internship of the Veterinary Nursing’s degree was carried out by the student at AniCura Alma Veterinária Veterinary Hospital, where 1005 companion animals and 27 new companion animals were attended to. During the internship, the student was assigned to various departments, including veterinary assistance, surgery, veterinary nursing appointments, and hospitalized animals care, with the general objective of following the daily routines of the hospital and performing tasks in the area of veterinary nursing. Pain management in companion animals is essential in Veterinary Medicine. The in-depth study of the physiology of pain, as well as the development of skills for its recognition and evaluation, are extremely important. The research carried out regarding different types of pain, pain scales, and pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, allowed a better understanding regarding pain management, as well as the importance of developing personalized pain management plans, aiming to improve animal welfare and the results in recovery. Three clinical cases were also reported, one about chronic pain and two about acute pain, to better understand the differences between these types of pain, as well as the distinctions in diagnosis and treatment. The veterinary nurse plays a crucial role in the evaluation and recognition of pain, whether in emergency triage situations, post-surgical follow-up appointments, or cases of hospitalization. Comprehensive assessment of the patient's behavioral and physiological aspects, using available Pain Scales, is essential to ensure that the treatment plan is appropriate to the condition of each animal.
