Aplicación del pae basado en la teoría de virginia henderson en un neonato con asfixia al nacer

Abstract

Introduction: Choking before, during or after birth is an important cause of perinatal mortality and neurological morbidity. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 130 million children are born annually; of these, almost 2.5% are born dead and more than 3% die within the first 28 days of life. The main causes of neonatal death were estimated to be prematurity (28%), infections (26%) and perinatal asphyxia (23%). It is clear that perinatal asphyxia can cause brain lesions, but it has also been damaged that can have damage to other organs such as the kidney, heart and lung, becoming a public health problem worldwide. One of the main functions of nursing, as defined by Virginia Henderson for many years, is to help individuals, sick or healthy, perform activities that they themselves perform the necessary strength, will and knowledge; since patients are the true protagonists of health. Based on this reflection we channel ourselves in the present work; in the importance of improving and supplying the care given to our patient with asphyxiation at birth and the consequences of this pathology. Objective: Design a nursing care plan based on Virginia Henderson's theory in a newborn diagnosed with asphyxiation at birth + intrauterine hypoxia to improve the quality of life. Methodology: This research is of a scientific, analytical and descriptive type, it was carried out by searching and analyzing scientific articles addressed to the study, as well as review and evaluation of the clinical history and monitoring of the patient and his mother for the collection of information for the analysis of case, detailing the main characteristics that have been observed in the course of the events.
