Objective: to describe nursing diagnoses and interventions to children with respiratory signs of COVID-19 severity. Method: exploratory, descriptive, narrative review study, conducted in June 2020, based on scientific evidence published in the PUBCOVID-19 database, for further preparation of diagnoses using the North American Nursing Diagnoses Association - International Taxonomy, and interventions anchored in the Nursing Interventions Classification. Results: dyspnea and respiratory distress were the most evident signs of severity in children with COVID-19. Three main diagnostic statements were elaborated: Impaired Gas Exchange, Ineffective Respiratory Pattern and Impaired Spontaneous Ventilation, with 24 Nursing Interventions corresponding in four domains: physiological, behavioral, safety, and family. Conclusion: the description of nursing diagnoses and interventions, anchored by NANDA and NIC taxonomies, respectively, presents innovation in the Brazilian scientific literature.
