Keywords:
heart failure, congenital heart disease, pediatric nursing, discharge planning, D-METHODAbstract
Congestive heart failure is the most common complication found in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease, leading to insufficient blood circulation to various parts of the body, which may lead to shock or even death. The condition is mainly caused by structural abnormalities in the patient's heart and blood vessels present since birth. Various risk factors and improper self-care by the patients can accelerate the development of heart failure. The goal of treatment is to prevent and control heart function deterioration, which is an important role for nurses. The purpose of this article is to present a case study of heart failure in an adolescent pediatric patient with complex congenital heart disease, including symptoms, pathophysiology, treatment guidelines, discussion, and a nursing care plan before discharge from the hospital, using the D-METHOD concept to guide nurses in providing effective care to this group of patients.
