ROLES OF NURSES ON PROMOTING NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE POST CARDIAC SURGERY
Keywords:
Roles of Nurses, Nutritional Status, Children with Congenital Heart DiseaseAbstract
Congenital heart disease is a chronic disease caused by malformation of heart structure or blood vessels from birth. Most of infants and children with congenital heart disease have signs of fatigue, cyanosis, or dyspnea during feeding, and spend long time in suckling. It leads to body requiring more energy from nutrients while infants and children have limitation in suckling or feeding from disease pathology, especially in infants and children with cyanotic type. Thus, they often have under-nutrition as a consequence. Accordingly, poor weight gain and under-nutrition are commonly occurring in children with congenital heart disease. This article presents the overview of congenital heart disease, nutritional status of infants and children with congenital heart disease, effects of under-nutrition on health status of infants and children with congenital heart disease, and roles of nurses in promoting nutritional status of infants and
children with congenital heart disease which challenges nurses in caring. Caring of infants and children with congenital heart disease in pre-cardiac surgery and post-cardiac surgery as well as continued home care are addressed.
