Síndrome de guillain barre en adulto jover perspectiva clínica epidemiológica y cuidados de enfermería

Abstract

Guillain-Barré syndrome, is an atypical pathology throughout the world, it is an autoimmune inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy that can be triggered by several factors; mainly viral or bacterial infections, and the absence of immunizations. The symptomatology is similar to the common flu, since it presents as a feverish picture and expectorations. The worldwide incidence is 1-3 cases out of every 100,000 inhabitants, according to the Pan American Health Organization estimates that the cases increase between 1.1 and 1.8 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year. It is established that it is produced by an autoimmune process that is lethal, with a mortality rate between 3 to 7%, this is more focused on muscle loss and respiratory distress. The objective of this case analysis is to apply the nursing care process based on Dorothea Orem's self-care theory in an adolescent patient with paraplegia due to Guillain-Barre syndrome. Self-care must be learned and applied consciously, and self-care must be carried out continuously over time, always corresponding to the regulatory needs of the individual in their growth and development stage, state of health, health characteristics or specific stage of development, environmental factors and level of energy consumption.
