The use of Calatonia during the immediate postoperative period

This research had as objective to evaluate the influence of the technique of Calatonia on the clinical conditions (systemic arterial pressure, cardiac and respiratory frequencies, axillary corporal temperature, oxygen saturation), pain and indexes of Aldrete and Kroulik and that of Ramsay, of the patients in the immediate postoperative period; A randomized study was carried through, with one hundred and sixteen patients, submitted to the Videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery, divided in groups: experimental (58 patients) and placebo (58 patients). The patients of the experimental group received the Calatonia technique, and those of placebo group were submitted only to non-intentional touchs. The results showed that the patients of the groups placebo and experimental were considered homogeneous in which refers to the variables: sex, age, ASA (Physical Status Classification), in the Postanaesthetic Recovery Room (SRPA) it was not observed any significant statistical differences, between the groups, as to the clinical evaluation of the Aldrete and Kroulik scale as well as the sedation scale of Ramsay and the clinical parameters, except the axillary corporal temperature, which presented significant statistical difference, at the moment of the admission at the SRPA. As to the pain, the patients of the experimental group presented significant results, being it possible to infer that the relaxation proportionated by the technique of Calatonia brought the relief of the painfulstatus and, thus, it can be considered as an adjuvant therapy for the relief of the pain. So, it can be concluded that the application of the Calatonia can act as complementary resource to the assistance in the immediate postoperative period, prioritizing the subjectivity of the human being, without leaving the reality of the institution. Since it is a innovative proposal, with the application of the technique in the immediate postoperative period, it is given credit that the Calatonia will contribute for an improvement of the clinical situation, providing the physical and emotional patient well-being, besides rescuing the human and individualized assistance as well.
