SUMMARY:

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death throughout Brazil, and the elderly are more likely to suffer from these conditions. Among the treatment options, those of the invasive type are considered alternatives when clinical and pharmacological interventions are insufficient to control and maintain the health of the patient with heart disease. The most common cardiac surgeries include coronary artery bypass grafting and valve implants. Understanding the wound healing process in cardiac surgeries reveals factors that may be related to complications in the postoperative period, helping nursing professionals to intervene early, preventing such complications and ensuring safety until total epithelialization of the surgical wound. Objective: to characterize the wound healing process of patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures. Methodology: this is a prospective quantitative-descriptive study carried out from August to December 2022 in a large hospital located in northeastern Brazil, approved by the research ethics committee under protocol nº CAAE: 58372722.9.0000.5013. Patients were previously selected through the surgical schedule and followed throughout the perioperative period until the 21st postoperative day using an instrument validated by Houly (2020) and Ribeiro (2021). Results: The final sample consisted of 34 patients. Males accounted for 58.82% and mean age of 70.29 years. The most reported comorbidities were arterial hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia. The most common surgical procedures were myocardial revascularization and valve implants. The surgical wounds studied were located in the mediastinum, left lower limb and inframammary region. The phlogistic signs presented at the follow-up time were redness, heat, pain and edema. 67.64% did not present alterations in the healing process; the dehiscence rate was 8.82%; readmission rate for complications in the healing of the surgical wound was 16.12%. Conclusion: Understanding the pathophysiological process of healing surgical wounds in the elderly will allow us to understand the intrinsic and extrinsic limitations that affect this complex process, influencing more effective preventive methods and, in cases of interruption, successful treatments.
