Abstract

Acute Coronary Syndrome affects the cardiovascular system and is associated with a series of risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle, obesity, arterial hypertension, severe arrhythmias, among other pathologies, which over the years can cause obstruction of the coronary arteries, which can lead to the patient's death. This article aims to identify the nursing care provided to patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome. This is an integrative literature review, in which articles were searched in the Virtual Health Library databases, resulting in 11 articles to compose the study. Nursing care begins with risk classification, where data collection from the nursing process begins so that the professional assesses vital signs quickly and efficiently, performs anamnesis, physical examination, monitors, performs ECG , provides oxygen therapy and prescribed medications, always continuously evaluating chest pain, in addition to establishing a bond, considering the social, psychological and biological aspects of the patient. Thus, the study showed that the patient affected by Acute Coronary Syndrome needs emergency care and that nursing care must be based on scientific technical knowledge, in order to recognize and offer targeted, individualized and quality care to this patient.
