Defining Characteristics and Related Factors of Decreased Cardiac Tissue Perfusion: Proposal of a New Nursing Diagnosis.
PURPOSE: To identify the possible defining characteristics (DCs) and related factors of the nursing diagnosis (ND) decreased cardiac tissue perfusion.
METHODS: Cross-sectional study using medical charts of adults admitted to an emergency department with the chief complaint of chest pain in a hospital in São Paulo, Brazil.
FINDINGS: DCs identified: crushing chest pain, elevated markers of myocardial necrosis, ischemic electrocardiogram changes, sweating, nausea, and vomiting. Related factors identified: interruption of arterial blood flow and coronary spasm.
CONCLUSION: This ND was clinically identified due to significant differences in the DCs of patients with and without the diagnosis.
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The clinical indicators identified in this study can be the starting point for the DCs for this ND.
