Cuidados de enfermería basados en el modelo de Virginia Henderson en neonato con meningitis bacteriana por klebsiella

Abstract

Introduction: Neonatal bacterial meningitis is a disease characterized by inflammation in the central nervous system, such as the brain, cerebellum, and bone marrow, which leads to several complications, including neurological sequelae, being microorganisms such as Streptococcus agalactiae and Escherichia Coli, which most cause the pathology, but in terms of age difference in infants younger than 1 month, the frequent causative agents are S. agalactiae, E. coli and L. monocytogenes; and from 1 to 3 months S. agalactiae, S. pneumoniae and N. meningitidis; in infants older than 3 months, N. meningitidis and S. pneumoniae, where the Pan American Health Organization indicates that an estimated 1.2 million cases and 180,000 deaths occur each year from bacterial meningitis in children under 5 years of age. Objective: Determine the process of nursing care in patients with bacterial meningitis focused on Virginia Henderson's Theory for the prevention and control of intrahospital infections.
