Objetivo: identificar a associação dos aspectos demográficos, clínicos e do manejo terapêutico no desfecho dos pacientes diagnosticados com sepse em uma emergência hospitalar. Método: documental retrospectivo, 312 prontuários de pacientes sépticos, realizado análise descritiva, comparações de dados categóricos utilizaram-se os Testes de Qui quadrado ou Exato de Fisher, com correção de Monte Carlo. Resultados: idade média 65 (±17,66) anos, 51,3% eram mulheres, 52,6% hipertensos, 28,5% diabéticos, 27,2% cardiopatas, 74% diagnosticados com sepse 52,3% foco infeccioso pulmonar. Existe associação entre as variáveis demográficas e os desfechos (p0,05). Histórico de acidente vascular encefálico, cirrose, cardiopatia e choque séptico associam-se ao óbito (p0,05). Sinais de alerta e disfunções orgânicas avaliadas associam-se ao desfecho. Foco infeccioso (p=1) e taquicardia (p=0,823) não tem associação com desfecho nem com gravidade da sepse (p=0,120). Conclusão: há associação entre o perfil demográfico do paciente, comorbidades, disfunções orgânicas e manejo terapêutico, com a gravidade da sepse e o desfecho.

OBJECTIVES: to investigate the principle nursing interventions/actions, prescribed in the immediate post-operative period for patients who receive lung transplantation, recorded in the medical records, and to map these using the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) taxonomy. METHOD: retrospective documental research using 183 medical records of patients who received lung transplantation (2007/2012). The data of the patients' profile were grouped in accordance with the variables investigated, and submitted to descriptive analysis. The nursing interventions prescribed were analyzed using the method of cross-mapping with the related interventions in the NIC. Medical records which did not contain nursing prescriptions were excluded. RESULTS: the majority of the patients were male, with medical diagnoses of pulmonary fibrosis, and underwent lung transplantation from a deceased donor. A total of 26 most frequently-cited interventions/actions were found. The majority (91.6%) were in the complex and basic physiological domains of the NIC. It was not possible to map two actions prescribed by the nurses. CONCLUSIONS: it was identified that the main prescriptions contained general care for the postoperative period of major surgery, rather than prescriptions individualized to the patient in the postoperative period following lung transplantation. Care measures related to pain were underestimated in the prescriptions. The mapping with the taxonomy can contribute to the elaboration of the care plan and to the use of computerized systems in this complex mode of therapy.
