Nursing Interventions and Outcomes for the Diagnosis of Impaired Tissue Integrity in Patients After Cardiac Catheterization: Survey.
OBJECTIVE
Determine the outcomes and interventions for patients undergoing cardiac catheterization with nursing diagnosis of impaired tissue integrity.


METHODS
Survey with e-questionnaires sent for expert nurses in two rounds.


RESULTS
Only one nursing outcome was approved: tissue integrity-skin and mucosa and five related interventions, namely, pressure control, topical drug administration, care of incision site, care of injuries, and infection control.


CONCLUSIONS
The expected outcomes and the most significant interventions for the implementation of nursing care during the immediate recovery of patients with impaired tissue integrity following invasive hemodynamic procedures were defined.


CONCLUSIONS
The study findings support selection of appropriate nursing outcomes and interventions for this patient profile.
