Summary
This study identified 28 vulnerability factors for the nursing diagnosis "Risk for Vascular Trauma" (RVT). RVT is a new diagnosis, and further clinical validation is recommended to improve patient safety.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Medical Diagnostics
- Patient Safety
Background:
- Vascular trauma is a significant risk in healthcare settings.
- Existing nursing diagnoses may not fully address the specific risks of vascular trauma.
- NANDA International's taxonomy provides a framework for standardized nursing diagnoses.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate the nursing diagnosis 'Risk for Vascular Trauma' (RVT).
- To identify and categorize vulnerability mechanisms and risk factors associated with RVT.
- To establish a foundation for the clinical validation of RVT.
Main Methods:
- Concept and content validation study.
- Expert opinion from 60 healthcare professionals.
- Identification and scoring of vulnerability factors across five key axes.
Main Results:
- Fifty-one potential risk factors were identified.
- Twenty-eight vulnerability factors for RVT were confirmed with a score > 0.80.
- The identified factors were categorized into five distinct axes.
Conclusions:
- 'Risk for Vascular Trauma' is proposed as a new nursing diagnosis.
- The study provides a validated set of factors for RVT.
- Clinical validation of the 'Risk for Vascular Trauma' diagnosis is recommended.

The key difference between Superficial Vein Thrombosis (SVT) and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) lies in their location and severity.Clinical ManifestationsSVT typically presents with localized pain, tenderness, and redness along the course of a superficial vein, often accompanied by a palpable, cord-like structure under the skin. This condition is usually less dangerous than DVT but can be uncomfortable and may lead to complications such as cellulitis or, rarely, a clot extension into the deep...

Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...
