Abstract

The objective in this study was to identify
the prevalent nursing diagnoses in patients hospitalized
with sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock at an Intensive
Care Unit. The population consisted of patients over
18 years of age, hospitalized at the Intensive Care Unit
between January and December 2010. The information
was collected from the patient histories, according to
the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and
nursing diagnoses registered. In the study period, 103
patients were hospitalized, 79.4% of whom died. The
following nursing diagnoses were identified: risk for
infection, risk for aspiration, risk for impaired skin integrity,
impaired spontaneous ventilation, impaired gas exchange,
ineffective cardiopulmonary tissue perfusion and impaired
skin integrity. In conclusion, the identification of the
diagnoses present in the histories of sepsis patients is
expected to contribute to nursing care for these clients.
