The objective of the authors is to describe the nursing care for patients in post-operative cardiac surgery at Hospital de ClĂ­nicas de Porto Alegre, emphasizing some important points to be observed for the best qualification and organization of the routines nowadays used. The nursing care is divided in many stages, all of them important, going from the unit organization, the patient admission in a critical moment, until the assistance to the patient discharge. The conclusion is that: it's very important, for an integral assistance to the patient, an adequated organization of the service, a good relation between multiprofessional staff, training staff, and specific staff for this nursing care.
