Os cuidados e as orientações do enfermeiro frente ao portador de Insuficiência Renal Crônica em hemodiálise

Abstract

Chronic renal failure is a disease that is characterized by the slow and rapid loss of kidney function. When this decline in functionality occurs, the body begins to accumulate metabolic toxins in the blood. For this reason, this insufficiency is considered a public health problem, due to the fact that cases are increasingly increasing and contributing to an increase in health spending. The main treatment for this dysfunction is hemodialysis, which is a treatment used by patients who have lost kidney function, using a machine that filters and cleans the blood, doing the job that the kidney cannot do. During these sessions, one of the essential multidisciplinary team professionals is the nurse, who actively participates from the patient's entry to exit. Therefore, this project aims to identify the role of nursing professionals in caring for patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment. This is an exploratory, qualitative research. Data collection will be through questionnaires, interviews and observations based on visits to the Biorim clinic, located in the city of Bacabal. It is hoped that this study will contribute not only to the scientific community, but also to demonstrate the great importance of the nurse's role in the life and success of treating patients who suffer from these kidney dysfunctions.
