Factores predisponentes de policitemia neonatal a 2900 metros de altura

Abstract

Neonatal polycythemia is considered when the hematocrit value at the peripheral venous level is equal to or greater than 65%, the risk is greater in newborns who present predisposing factors, given the complexity of the predisposing factors for polycythemia, it is necessary to understand their behavior for this reason, it is necessary to know in detail the clinical profile of newborns. Therefore, it is important to determine the relationship of predisposing factors with the presence of neonatal polycythemia in newborns seen from January 2017 to December. of 2018 in the Type C Health Center of Lasso that during their prenatal development they resided at more than 2,900 meters of altitude. A quali-quantitative research approach is applied, with a correlational type of research and with a retrospective design. It is concluded that there is a relationship between predisposing factors with the presence of neonatal polycythemia in newborns seen from January 2017 to December 2018 at the Lasso Type C Health Center who resided during their prenatal development more than 2900 meters high.
