Nursing experiences in the prevention of complications before extubation of the neonatal patient

Abstract:

Introduction Extubation is a critical procedure in the care of neonates requiring mechanical ventilation. The prevention of complications during this process is essential to guarantee favorable results and reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality. Objective To categorize the nursing experiences in the prevention of complications before the extubation of the newborn. Method The research is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The triangulation of the information was carried out based on the position of the authors, a critical review of the existing literature and the experiences of 8 nurses from an Ecuadorian Public Hospital. Results Based on the application of the Demaziére D. and Dubar C. methodology and the tabulation of information through data saturation using SPSS, it was possible to determine 3 categories subdivided into 7 subcategories: 3 focused on the identification of risk factors based on experience, 3 related to the establishment of specific care protocols and the improvement of education and training, and 1 aimed at identifying best practices and contributing to scientific progress in this area. Conclusion Nursing experiences play a crucial role in the prevention of complications during extubation and advocate for the implementation of evidence-based strategies to improve neonatal outcomes.
