Abstract:
Introduction: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a virus that attacks
the respiratory tract with rapid spread and high mortality. Initial reports that COVID19
associated
with
critical
care
due
to
the
severity
of
the
disease
requiring
mechanical
assistive
devices
in
its
treatment.
The
purpose
to
identify
the
nursing
diagnosis
related
to
respiratory
and
circulatory
problems
of
COVID-19
in
the
critical
care
unit.
Method:
An
integrative
review
highlights
the
issue
that
nursing
problems
related
to
respiratory
and
circulatory
in
COVID-19
patients
admitted
to
the
Intensive
Care
Unit
(ICU).
This
study
focuses
on
papers
published
from
2020

keyword
"clinical
manifestation of COVID-19" which was accessed through the Pubmed
database.
Result: The results showed that findings in articles that were reviewed and integrated
with the SDKI. Nursing diagnosis related to respiratory problems such as 1)
Ineffective airway clearance; 2) Dysfunctional ventilatory weaning response; 3)
Impaired gas exchange; 4) Impaired spontaneous ventilation. Nursing diagnosis
related to circulatory problems such as 1) Risk / decreased cardiac output; 2) Risk for
bleeding; 3) Risk for effective renal perfusion; 4) Risk for ineffective cerebral
perfusion.
Conclusion: Critical care nurses carry out a series of treatments based on the nursing
process stages, one of which is the enforcement of a nursing diagnosis. The nursing
diagnosis is needed to develop nursing plans and strategies for implementation so that
