Views0Case report of a patient with 37-week gestational age admitted to an obstetric intensive care unit with an altered level of consciousness, related primarily to the pregnancy-induced hypertension. The patient presented a worsening clinical course characterized by, anemia and severe thrombocytopenia, Investigation led to a diagnostic of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura after the hematological profile was assessed. The authors emphasize the importance of the disease recognition as a prognostic marker for obstetric patients, in view of the similarity with other common morbidities during pregnancy and the importance of timely diagnosis and early treatment as determinant factors for the outcome.

The aim of this study was to describe socio-demographic characteristics of intensive care unit physicians and evaluate factors associated to the presence of Burnout syndrome in this population. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed to evaluate physicians who have worked in intensive care units from the city of Salvador (Bahia – Brazil) with a minimum weekly workload of 12-hour. An anonymous self-reported questionnaire was used and it was divided into two parts: socio-demographic characteristics and evaluation of Burnout syndrome through Maslach Burnout Inventory. RESULTS: We studied 297 physicians and most of them were male (70%). The mean age and time of graduation were, respectively, 34.2 and 9 years. High levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment were found in respectively, 47.5%, 24.6% and 28.3%. The prevalence of Burnout syndrome, considered as high level in at least one dimension, was of 63.3%. This prevalence was statistically lower in physicians specialized on intensive care, those with more than nine years of graduation and those who intend to continue working in intensive care units for more than 10 years. The prevalence was higher in the doctors with more than 24-hours of uninterrupted intensive care work per week. CONCLUSIONS: Burnout syndrome was common among intensive care physicians and it was more frequent in the youngest doctors, with higher workload and without specialization on intensive care.
