PERIOPERATIVE CARDIAC SURGERY: SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC ASPECTS AND THEIR VARIATIONS

Abstract

Objective: To characterize the sociodemographic aspects and their variations in patients who underwent cardiac surgery. Method: This is a study with a quantitative approach. Data were collected from physical medical records in the medical and statistical archiving service of the clinical hospital of the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro. To analyze the data, a database was created in Microsoft Office Excel®, sequentially transferred to the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, and used for data exploration. Results: Among the main results, the following stand out: predominance of male participants (69% (63), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) represented 44% (40) of the sample, the most prevalent pathology was systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), comprising 70% (64) of the data obtained, and 69% (63) represented patients who were discharged from hospital. Conclusion: It can be concluded that factors such as gender, age, and associated pathologies are factors that increase the probability of surgery for cardiac patients. From this perspective, nursing care in the perioperative period becomes essential to knowing and guiding the patient, envisioning holistic and individualized care for each patient.
