Objective. To determine the epidemiology of viral infections in the NICU-INMP. Materials and Methods. Review of medical records of 50 patients with confirmed viral infection, in 2013-2014 in the NICU -INMP and descriptive statistical analysis using SPSS 23.

Objective: To determine the causes of neonatal mortality and its epidemiological characteristics in our institution, 2015and 2016. Materials and methods: Retrospective, descriptive and observational study, we reviewed the clinical records ofpatients who died in the neonatal department of the INMP during 2015 and 2016.

We present the first case of application of therapeutic hypothermia in a newborn with a diagnosis of moderate ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy with the inclusion criterias. Risk factors, diagnostic criteria, evolution and monitoring during hypothermia and the followed-up post-discharge, are reported in our institution.

Trisomy 8 is an uncommon anomaly in neonates, frequently being a lethal condition among individuals with pure trisomiclines and more tolerable in mosaics cases. This aneuploidy is mainly characterized by a moderate - severe intellectual deficitand poor motor coordination. Affected individuals presents craniofacial malformations, prominent forehead, arched palate,deformed ears with low implantation, elongated trunk, reduced motility, articular defects and deep plantar grooves, which isone of the main characteristics of this condition. Abnormalities of internal organs are of varying severity. We present the reportof two cases of trisomy 8 or Warkany syndrome 2 born at Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal.

Introduction: Adherence to clinical practice guidelines (CPG) improves the management of neonatal sepsis, reducing complications and mortality in newborns. Objective: To identify factors associated with adherence to CPG for neonatal sepsis at the Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal (INMP). Material and Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted at the INMP, analyzing 988 neonatal sepsis hospitalizations between May and December 2021. Maternal and neonatal variables were evaluated using a mixed-effects logistic regression model to estimate adjusted prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI95%). Results: Overall adherence to CPG was 75%, higher in early-onset sepsis (81,4%) than in late-onset sepsis (66,9%). Late-onset sepsis was associated with lower adherence (adjusted OR=1.37; CI95 %=1.05-1.78; p<0.01). Care provided by non-neonatologist pediatricians reduce...

Environmental Microbiota of the Neonatology Department at the National Maternal Perinatal Perinatal, Lima, Perú

Introduction. Healthcare-associated infections (IAAS) increase neonatal morbidity and mortality. Identifying the microbiological profile and sensitivity of the microbiota allows us to reduce infection rates, rationalize the use of antibiotics and improve neonatal survival. Objectives. To know the environmental microbiota and antimicrobial sensitivity in the Department of Neonatology (DN). Methods. Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, carried out between April and May 2021, in the Intensive Care, Intermediate and Immediate Care services of the DN of the Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal, a reference center for maternal and neonatal care. 144 surfaces were selected from the hospitalized patient environment. Using swabbing technique, samples were obtained and then seeded in common and selective culture media. Sensitivity was determined using Kirby-Bauer diffusion disks, the...

Objective: The objective of this research is to describe adherence to the neonatal sepsis clinical practice guideline according to the type of sepsis in a perinatal maternal institute in Lima, Peru. Method: A descriptive study was carried out between the months of June to December 2021 at the Instituto Nacional Maternal Perinatal (INMP). The adherence of care to the CPG for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of neonatal sepsis based on the INMP evidence was evaluated. Medical care was evaluated by two physicians who reviewed compliance or not with the 16 CPG recommendations. Adequate adherence was considered to be compliance of 80% or more of the recommendations established by the guideline in one care. Global adherence was calculated in percentages, by dimensions, by item and according to maternal and perinatal characteristics of care. Results: A total of 968 medical attentions wer...

Introduction. Neonatal sepsis is a set of clinical signs and symptoms caused by a systemic infection, associated with maternal, neonatal or hospital risk factors. Objective. Provide informed recommendations for the best available evidence for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of neonatal sepsis. Methods an Evidence-based Clinical Practice Guide (CPG) was developed through an adaptation process, in charge of a team of methodologists and neonatologists who are experts in the clinical management of neonatal sepsis. The search and pre-selection of CPGs that respond to the scope and objectives set were carried out, using the AGREE-II instrument, the methodological quality of the guides was evaluated and their adaptation decided. To identify the evidence that answers the questions in the guideline, a systematic search was carried out in multiple databases: M...
