ABSTRACT
During the transition period of a newborn, multiple maternal
and neonatal factors may be associated with the use of
supplemental oxygen during this phase. The objective is to
describe the factors associated with the use of supplemental
oxygen devices in term newborns in the well-baby nursery of
Hospital Español. A descriptive, cross-sectional, observational,
retrospective study was conducted through a review of
medical records of all term newborns admitted to the well-baby
nursery to evaluate the frequency of oxygen device use and
its associated factors. The inclusion criteria were newborns
aged 37 to 42 weeks of age of both sexes admitted to the
physiological nursery, and the exclusion criteria were patients
with congenital malformations. Information was collected by
reviewing the records of all full-term newborns admitted to the
physiological nursery. A total of 379 patients were included,
whose mothers had a mean age of 34.2 ± 4.6 years. Ninetythree
percent had no significant maternal medical history.
Those with maternal medical history, 38.8% had obstetric
history, including infections during pregnancy. Of the newborns,
82.1% were delivered by cesarean section, 53% were male,
with a mean gestational age at birth of 38.4 ± 0.90 weeks,
and an average weight of 2,996 ± 343.7 grams. Of the total
patients, 12.9% required supplemental oxygen support in the
physiological nursery. 2.6% were admitted to the neonatal
intensive care unit. The findings suggest that factors such
as cesarean section, advanced maternal age, and metabolic
history may influence the need for respiratory intervention.
