NEONATAL HEALTH IN THE FACE OF HYPOXIC ISCHEMIC SYNDROME: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Quality care is important to reduce infant mortality, so it is necessary to establish quality care for both pregnant women and newborns. This study aimed to identify in the national scientific literature of nursing what has been addressed regarding neonatal health facing the hypoxic-ischemic syndrome. This is a narrative review of the literature. The search for data occurred in the period from March to April 2019, in which they were conducted through the database: Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences and the Nursing Database via the Virtual Health Library using as inclusion criteria: articles available in full and online, free of charge, in Portuguese, with the temporal cut from 2003 to 2019. Studies that did not answer the research question were excluded. For selection of articles, the words combined with Boolean operators were used: "Nursing" AND "Neonatal Asphyxia" AND "Hypoxic-ischemic encephalic", resulting initially in 178 studies, after the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria composed the corpus of the research six articles. From the analysis of the studies, two categories were described: Care of the multiprofessional team for the prevention of hypoxic-ischemic syndrome, which addressed the care provided to women and newborns by the multiprofessional team and Nursing and maternal-neonatal health facing hypoxic-ischemic syndrome, addressing the experiences of women facing the maternal-neonatal nursing care. After this study, its relevance was understood and how important it is to have more research focused on hypoxic-ischemic syndrome for a better quality of care.
