Cuidados de enfermagem com o curativo pós-procedimentos endovasculares - Cateterismo Cardíaco e Angioplastia

Abstract

Objective: This article aims to analyze and describe nursing care in the management of wound dressings after cardiac catheterization and angioplasty procedures performed through femoral and radial access. Method: This is an integrative review with searches using descriptors in the Virtual Health Library (VHL) database, yielding 364 articles, PubMed 674, and 3 articles from other electronic journals, all published between 2014 and 2024, which were subjected to inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 14 studies aggregated in this work. Results: After reading and critically analyzing the articles, it was possible to discuss five thematic categories: Category-1 Nurse's knowledge in managing nursing actions; Category-2 Hemostatic methods in invasive cardiological procedures; Category-3 Access routes for endovascular procedures; Category-4 Risk factors and vascular complications; Category-5 Nursing care in wound dressings for catheterization and angioplasty procedures. Conclusion: According to the literature, it is inferred that manual compression time is established as a care measure, and wound dressings in endovascular procedures are practices that impact the safe and quality care of patients with heart disease. Therefore, it is indispensable that theoretical grounding materializes from evidence to guide new practices of application, techniques, and compression time according to radial and femoral access.
