DESAFIOS ENFRENTADOS PELO ENFERMEIRO NO SETOR DE HEMODINÂMICA

Abstract

In hospital institutions the hemodynamic sector meets a diverse demand of patients who need interventionist procedures. It is a new sector that contains various devices, modern equipment of high radioactivity, high cost materials, among other factors necessary for the performance of diagnostic tests and therapeutic interventions. The nurse who works in this sector in addition to managerial functions is also responsible for direct patient care. Therefore, the general objective of this study is to describe the challenges faced by nurses in the hemodynamics sector. And specifically, the proposed objective aims to describe the nurse's attributions in hemodynamics. The methodology is characterized as a bibliographic study with a qualitative and descriptive approach, based on scientific research, academic and course completion works available on electronic platforms. It is concluded that the shortage of qualified professionals results in the accumulation of tasks and work overload. In addition, the very conditions associated with the execution of activities in the sector, such as exposure to ionizing radiation can cause short- and medium-term work-related illnesses. Challenges are also associated with managerial activity, as nurses often find it difficult due to lack of experience in leadership, teamwork, scale-up, conflict resolution, maintenance and inventory control, among others. . Given this reality, it is suggested that nurses invest in training and specialization in the area, and it is also essential that hospital institutions implement health education programs that favor the performance of nurses in hemodynamics.
