Objective: To summarize the knowledge produced in the scientific literature of the main clinical complications during hemodialysis and describe nursing interventions according to the NIC. Method: an integrative literature review. For selection of four databases SCOPUS, CINAHL, PUBMED and LILACS were consulted, which included five articles. Studies fitted in the level 3 of scientific evidence, being an observational type. Results: the main clinical complications during hemodialysis sessions were: nausea, vomiting, cramps, itching, hypotension, hypertension and hypothermia. Nursing interventions were hydroelectrolytic monitoring, checking vital signs, administering medications and instructing the patient. Conclusion: the clinical complications are related to the rapid removal of fluid and accelerated electrolyte exchange during the hemodialysis session. Interventions raised showed the variety of possible behaviors before these complications
Aim: to identify the complications of pressure ulcers in severely ill patients from the perspective of the nurses. Method: This is a descriptive-exploratory study which adopts a qualitative approach involving a questionnaire to nurses working in an intensive care unit of Onofre Lopes Hospital, in Natal, Brazil. The data were submitted to the content analysis topics. Results: From the comments of the professionals, we generated a category "Complications of pressure ulcers in severely ill patients", and the subcategories "infection", "period of hospitalization", "hospital costs", "mortality" and "suffering". Discussion: Ulcers lead to infections and to an increase in microbiological resistance. They increase the period of hospitalization and the costs of treatment due to the resulting complications. Mortality is related to the worsening of clinical conditions. Suffering is a result of pain and dependency. Conclusion: For the nurses, pressure ulcers are complications that generate a worsening of clinical conditions of severely ill patients, which makes it necessary to adapt the treatment.
