8 articles were included, 5 of them were topics reviews. Nurse plays a critical role, participating in the different intervention phases within the surgical context, promoting the patients hemodynamic evolution; skillfully detecting problems related to cardiac output, severe changes in pulmonary pressure, ventilatory needs applied to the patient and hydroelectrolytic management; it also dominates the complications that are the cornerstone derived from the procedure.
