Manejo de la membrana hialina tipo i en un hospital general

Abstract

Introduction: Hyaline membrane disease (HMD) is a typical pathology of premature newborns, which is characterized by progressive respiratory difficulty that can appear in the first minutes of life caused by the deficit of pulmonary surfactant, becoming one of the major complications in neonates. General Objective: Explain the proper management for the hyaline membrane type I in a General Hospital, through the bibliographic review of articles indexed in Scimago and obtained through ScienceDirect, Pubmed, Google Scholar, to update information that could be useful in other medical professionals. Methodology: Firstly, the search engines are located to allow us to find scientific articles, then the search of the documents is done with the help of the aforementioned key words, then the period of publication time is skewed, fundamentally in recent years, as well as also the types of articles downloaded, finally the impact and prestige of scientific journals belonging to quartiles 1 and 2 (Q1 and Q2) is verified. Conclusions: The early use of nasal CPAP in preterm infants with hyaline membrane is highly justified, since it helps the neonate increasing the probabilities of survival and decreases complications mainly such as pulmonary bronchodilaplasia, ventilator-associated pneumonia, retinopathy, cerebellar hemorrhage.
