Nursing Diagnoses in Children With Congenital Heart Disease: A Survival Analysis

Abstract

PURPOSE.

To analyze the relationship between nursing diagnoses and survival rates in children with congenital heart disease.

METHODS.

A total of 270 observations were carried out in 45 children with congenital heart disease who were followed for 15 days.

FINDINGS.

Differences in mean survival times were identified in children not more than 4 months of age with respect to the following diagnoses: impaired gas exchange, ineffective breathing pattern, activity intolerance, delayed growth and development, and decreased cardiac output.

CONCLUSIONS.

The main diagnoses are identified early in the hospitalization period and are conditions resulting from hemodynamic alterations and prescribed medical treatment.

IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE.

Congenital heart disease provokes serious hemodynamic alterations that generate human responses, which should be treated proactively.
