Abstract

The present investigation was carried out to the nursing professionals who work in the neonatal intensive care unit of a pediatric hospital in the city of Guayaquil. What I was motivated to do was that through pre-professional practices, the nursing staff does not perform the necessary interventions on the neonates, which causes complications. This work focuses on the nursing interventions in neonates with percutaneous venous catheter, general objective to identify the nursing interventions in neonates with percutaneous venous catheter in a hospital in the city of Guayaquil, type of descriptive, prospective and cross-sectional study using the quantitative method; the instrument for data collection was through the matrix of direct, indirect observation and survey; a population made up of 24 nursing professionals was taken into the results, it was shown that the nursing staff has 79% of more than 11 years of work experience, 87% have a level of instruction of degree, among nursing interventions the change of the diffuser system every 24 h and the three-step wrench every 48 h has 92% that is not done, immobilization of the percutaneous venous catheter with 100% that does not perform it due to lack of recourse. This offers us a new perspective on the nursing interventions in neonates with percutaneous catheter of the Hospital updating this information and serving as a tool for future investigations.
