The aim of this study is to translate and validate the Nutritional Pathway for Infants with Congenital Heart Disease before Surgery British nutritional protocol into Brazilian Portuguese test its clinical feasibility specialized clinicians in hospitals.The translation validation process followed strict methodological standards over following steps: 1) initial translation; 2) synthesis; 3) back-translation; 4) expert committee content validation, pre-test 30 health professionals. Data were collected through Research Electronic Capture software data system, then extracted analyzed statistical analysis software.The culturally adapted version was considered equivalent original. In first round, 82% agreement achieved, after consensus, there 100% among experts. Regarding ease use practice, instrument obtained a minimum rate 93.4% 0.92 validity index.The results indicate that has high validity, reliability experts, suggesting level accuracy cultural adaptation culture medical systems. It easily understandable by professionals, as well simple apply practice. preoperative infants congenital heart disease can reproduce outcomes found pilot carried out United Kingdom, which may promote better pre-surgical status Brazil.
