Abstract(s)
O estágio final da Licenciatura em Enfermagem Veterinária foi realizado na Clínica
Veterinária Patas e Pêlos, de 26/02/2024 a 19/05/2024. Os objetivos principais foram
aplicar os conhecimentos adquiridos ao longo do curso e obter competências práticas e
técnicas, e um dos objetivos específicos foi relativo a medicina complementar
(canabinóides e acupuntura), uma área de interesse da aluna e praticada no local de
estágio escolhido. Durante o estágio, a aluna estagiária, teve contacto com 760 animais,
executou 386 atividades no internamento, 1042 a nível cirúrgico e 537 nas consultas de
enfermagem; foram ainda realizadas 271 análises (sanguíneas, urinárias e citologias), 111
meios complementares de diagnóstico imagiológicos, 611 atividades relativas à
preparação e administração de medicação e 792 outras atividades (que incluíram o
acompanhamento de consultas veterinárias). Ao longo dos anos, tem-se assistido a uma
procura crescente pela medicina complementar, especificamente, por canabinóides e
acupuntura, principalmente para o maneio de dor crónica. De facto, existem diversos
estudos que comprovam que ambos apresentam efeitos anti-inflamatórios e analgésicos
e os canabinóides têm também efeitos ansiolíticos, antiepiléticos, anti-eméticos e
estimulantes de apetite, imunossupressores e anti-neoplásicos. Assim, cada vez mais se
verifica que os tutores preferem tratamentos naturais, com poucos efeitos adversos,
comparativamente à medicina tradicional, sobretudo quando esta é insuficiente e
apresenta limitações, sendo a solução principal os cuidados paliativos, de modo a
promover o maior conforto e qualidade de vida para o seu animal de companhia, que
muitas vezes já se encontra na fase de vida geriátrica.
The final internship of the Degree in Veterinary Nursing took place at the Patas e Pêlos Veterinary Clinic, from February 26th to May 19th , 2024. The main goals were to apply knowledge acquired throughout the degree and to obtain practical and technical skills, and one of the specific goals was related to complementary medicine (cannabinoids and acupuncture), an area of interest to the student and practiced at the chosen internship location. During the internship, the intern student had contact with 760 animals, performed 386 activities in hospitalization, 1042 at a surgical level and 537 in nursing appointments; were also carried out 271 tests (blood, urine and cytologies), 111 complementary diagnostic imaging exams, 611 activities related to the preparation and administration of medication and 792 other activities (which included attending veterinary appointments). Over the years, in order to manage chronic pain, there has been an increasing demand for complementary medicine, specifically, cannabinoids and acupuncture. In fact, there are several studies that prove that both have antiinflammatory and analgesic effects and cannabinoids also have anxiolytic, anti-epileptic, anti-emetic and appetite-stimulating, immunosuppressive and anti-neoplastic effects. In short, in order to promote the best comfort and quality of life for their pet, who is often already in the geriatric phase of life, it is increasingly seen that owners prefer natural treatments, with few adverse effects, compared to traditional medicine, especially when it is insufficient and presents limitations and the main solution is palliative care.
