Complications in therapeutic hypothermia: diagnosis and interventions

Journal article | Zeitschriftenartikel

Objective: To identify nursing diagnoses according to the NANDA, upon the potential complications of patients undergoing Therapeutic Hypothermia after Cardiorespiratory arrest and propose nursing interventions, according to the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC). Method: this is a bibliometric review of the literature from January 2003 to May 2013, in LILACS, MEDLINE, and SCIELO. Results: Five articles selected, which enabled us to identify eight Nursing diagnoses, as well as the corresponding nursing interventions. Conclusion: Despite the high efficacy of Therapeutic Hypothermia to reduce the extent of neurological damage Post-Cardiopulmonary arrest, their use is not as widespread in clinical practice. Thus, this research has aimed to provide an initial basis for considering the practice of the professional nurse assisting this patient.
