Atividades de enfermagem desenvolvidas no serviço de hemodinâmica: revisão integrativa

Abstract

Background: Due to the complexity of the nursing team's duties in the Catheterization Laboratory, it is essential to identify and understand the nursing activities carried out in this unit to later analyze the workload of these professionals. The aim of this study is to analyze in scientific literature the nursing activities carried out with patients undergoing endovascular procedures in the Catheterization Laboratory to develop a tool for the appropriate sizing of personnel for this unit. Methods: Integrative literature review conducted in September 2024 by searching for publications in journals indexed in PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS, Embase and Scopus. Results: The review included six studies. The main nursing activities identified included: mobilizing and positioning the patient, preparing the room and puncture sites, checking vital signs, administering medication, supporting the performing professional and post-procedure care, such as checking dressings and guidance on rest. Conclusion: The review provided a comprehensive analysis of the activities performed by nursing professionals in the Catheterization Laboratory, emphasizing the complexity and importance of these functions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of procedures. Despite recognizing this complexity, the literature still lacks specific data on the relationship between workload, number of cases attended to and the appropriate size of the team.
