Cuidados de enfermagem no intra operatório de transplante hepático

Abstract

The study had to identify key nursing care performed in intra-operative liver transplantation. Literature`s integrative review was the research method. Were used as data bases for search: LILACS, SciELO, MED LINE BUS COCHARE and IBECS and selected three sample articles. The study showed that nursing care results on prevention of pressure ulcers, prevention of hypothermia, infection prevention. Beyond direct patient care nurses are responsible for checking all the materials needed before starting anesthesia and guidance to family members / caregivers about the evolution of the procedure. The study confirms that nurses' performance in intra-operative phase is critical for success in post-operative rehabilitation for the patient in their context and family. Considering the weakness in the literature of studies on this topic requires more research on the subject, since the use of their findings can subsidize care.
