(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-07-08) Quintana Medina, Vanessa Judith; Rivera Lozada de Bonilla, Oriana
Objective: To systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of dry cord care compared to the use of antiseptics in the prevention of omphalitis and the reduction of the umbilical cord detachment time in newborns. Materials and Methods: Systematic Review, synthesizing the results of multiple primary studies. They are essential in evidence-based nursing due to their rigorous methodology, answering specific clinical practice questions. The search was restricted to full-text articles, and the selected articles underwent a critical reading, using the GRADE system to assign the strength of recommendation. Results: 10 articles were chosen. 70% (7) were from Spain, 20% (2) from Argentina, and 10% (1) from Peru. Studies included in the review were systematic reviews (80%), mainly from Spain (7), followed by Argentina (1) and Peru (1). Additionally, 20% consisted of controlled clinical trials conducted in Argentina (1) and Spain (1). Of the total articles analyzed, 50% consider dry cord care effective in developed countries, while antiseptic care was deemed effective in developing countries. Conclusions: The effectiveness of dry cord care compared to antiseptic use in cord care is the same in preventing infections. The use of antiseptics depends on the hygiene and care conditions provided to the newborn, as these seem to be the determining factor in the risk of neonatal infections. Additionally, antiseptics might increase the time for the umbilical cord to fall off.
