Abstract

ABSTRACT

Supplemental oxygen (O2) therapy is used in newborns with respiratory disorders, despite presenting risks for morbidity. This study aimed to describe the nursing practice of administrating supplemental O2 and monitoring newborns. This systematic literature review was performed using a descriptive and reflective approach. Twenty studies were selected from electronic scientific databases considering the period between January 2000 and July 2013. It was found that the form of administration of O2 varies according to the efficiency of the system used, the cause and the degree of respiratory distress in the newborn. Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive method to continuously verify oxygenation, which is also able to reduce the incidence and severity of complications from O2 abuse. Neonatal units should count on air/O2 mixers and nurses should ensure continuous monitoring of oxygen therapy in infants, proposing strategies and goals for pulse oximetry.

Descriptors: nursing; oxygen; oxygen inhalation therapy; newborn.
