Abstract

Dysrhythmias is a clinical critical event which aggravate congestive heart failure. Dysrhythmia might be caused the main heart failure nursing diagnose, decreased of cardiac output occurred, then early dysrhythmia identification will help nurse to determine etiology and planning that will be given. Rhythm identification can be done by electro-cardiogram (ECG). The study was to aim an illustration on congestive heart failure dysrhythmia. This descriptive qualitative study was designed with secondary data retrospective study (medical record) on 282 congestive heart failure patients who were hospitalized in dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital Banda Aceh. Data collection used ECG strip in first 24 hours and the result were written in the research sheet. After whole data collected, it was found that Sinus Dysrhythmia was in 68 respondents (24,10%), Supraventricular dysrhythmias in 51 respondents (18,10%), Ventricular Dysrhythmias in 10 respondents (3,60%), Atrioventricular Block Conduction in 14 respondents (5,00%), Interventricular Block Conduction in 18 respondents (6,40%), whereas 121 respondents (42,90%) had Normal Sinus Rhythm. Dysrhythmia finding should not be the main indicator on detect problem that caused decrease of cardiac output, so nurse is recommended to identify another condition that underlying the nursing diagnose has been labeled. Cardiovascular nurse is suggested not to ignore normal rhythm in heart failure, meanwhile the nurse have to identify another dysfunction underlying decreased of cardiac output.
