Abstract

Introduction: Congenital heart diseases are among the most common abnormalities at birth. Objective: To determine the most recurrent pulmonary complications in the postoperative period and the possible factors associated with these complications. Methodology: This is an observational, retrospective study of a non-probabilistic sample, performed from May 2016 to May 2017. An analysis of the charts of children submitted to cardiac surgery at the Hospital of the Heart of Alagoas was performed. Results: Pulmonary complications were atelectasis (7.3%), pulmonary congestion (7.3%) and pleural effusion (4.9%), corresponding to 19.5% of the total sample. The only statistical difference found was the increase in the length of hospital stay in individuals with pulmonary complications. Conclusion: Predominated atelectasis, pulmonary and pleural effusion and pulmonary complications after pediatric cardiac surgery. It was evidenced an increase in hospital stay time due to the presence of pulmonary complications, and no association with another variable was tested.
