Abstract
DE ALMEIDA, Carolina Marques; POLLO, Camila Fernandes and MENEGUIN, Silmara. Nursing Interventions for Patients with Intracranial Hypertension: Integrative Literature Review. Aquichan [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.4, e1949. ISSN 1657-5997. https://doi.org/10.5294/aqui.2019.19.4.9.
Objective:
the study sought to identify, in national and international publications, the principal Nursing interventions aimed at patients with intracranial hypertension.
Materials and Method:
integrative literature review with search in LILACS, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cinahal, and Google Scholar databases, from 2013 to 2018.
Results:
the sample was comprised of seven articles fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Two thematic categories were established for the Nursing interventions aimed at patients with intracranial hypertension: cognitive skills and clinical reasoning, necessary to control neuro-physiological parameters and prevent intracranial hypertension, and evidence-based practices to improve care for neuro-critical patients.
Conclusions:
intracranial hypertension is an event of great clinical impact, whose complications can be minimized and control through specific Nursing interventions that encompass control of neuro-physiological and hemodynamic parameters and prevention of increased intracranial pressure related with the performance of procedures by the Nursing staff.
