Neonatal consequences of asphyxia
Naacog'S Clinical Issues in Perinatal and Women'S Health Nursing
|January 1, 1991
Abstract:
The neonatal consequences of asphyxia involve multiple organ systems in the newborn. These include the brain, cardiovascular system, pulmonary system, kidneys, liver, and gastrointestinal systems. The multiorgan involvement makes the nursing care of these infants especially challenging. An understanding of the pathophysiology and nursing implications will aid the nurse responsible in caring for the asphyxiated infant.
