Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

Objective: To map postoperative nursing care for critically ill adult and older patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit after cytoreduction surgery with hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Method: TScoping review according to the JBI methodology, with articles extracted from databases and gray literature, with no language or publica-tion date delimitation. The studies selection and results extraction process was carried out by two independent reviewers, using the soft-ware EndNote® and Rayyan®. PRISMA Extension for Scoping Review was used for the writing, with registration on the Open Science Framework.

Results: Forty-two studies were selected. The analysis revealed 72 types of care grouped into 14 care areas. The use of an epidural catheter for anal-gesia, optimization of individualized hemodynamic status, and strict control of fluid balance were the most cited care measures.

Conclusion: The mapping identified post-operative nursing care similar to those for major surgeries for patients recovering in the Intensive Care Unit, with an indication of the use of personal protective equipment by professionals when handling tubes in the first 48 hours of admission.
