Abstract
Diagnosis of heart failure is increasingly prevalent. Each year, 550,000 new cases are anticipated. To provide quality outcomes, nurses and physicians must understand the etiology and pathophysiology of heart failure. Research into heart failure provides information about treatment and drug therapies that reduce heart failure symptoms and improve quality of life. PACU nurses care for heart failure patients in various stages of this syndrome. Determining the plan of care for this high acuity population requires nurses with skills to manage complex patients in the perianesthesia period. © 2003 by American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses.
