Proceso de atención de enfermería en neonato con hiperbilirrubinemia Hospital Universitario de Guayaquil.

In the present clinical case, it is focused on a 68-hour-old newborn who is admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the University Hospital of Guayaquil due to a weight of 1900 g, tachypnea, yellow sclerae, and generalized jaundice. Vital signs are taken showing an arterial pressure of 68 / 45mmHg, heart rate: 135lxmin, respiratory rate: 70rxmin, temperature: 36.9ºC and oxygen saturation of 89%. The doctor indicates to perform laboratory tests where physiological jaundice is verified due to the total bilirubin values of 15.2mg / dl. However, it is important to emphasize that jaundice, a pathology commonly known as early jaundice, occurs in the first 24 hours of life and is generally secondary to infectious or hemolysis symptoms. On the other hand, physiological jaundice, also known as intermediate jaundice, begins between 2 days and 3 weeks of life due to hypo-nourishment of the newborn (González, Benavent, & Mayor, 2017). Reason why, we proceed to the elaboration of the Nursing Care Process using as an assessment the medical criteria established in the clinical history and the physical assessment by the nursing staff, in order to identify the dysfunctional patterns that are compromising the health of the patient. and at the same time interacting in the most timely and effective manner in terms of the application of nursing care, to meet the objectives proposed in this clinical case study.
