Objective: Determine the effectiveness of the use of polyethylene bags for the prevention of hypothermia in premature and low birth weight newborns. Materials and Methods: Observational and retrospective systematic review, the search has been restricted to articles with full text, and the selected articles were subjected to a critical reading, together with the intensive bibliographic search algorithm and the PICO strategy. Results: 10 articles were obtained as a population, of which 100% (10/10) demonstrated that the use of the polyethylene bag to prevent hypothermia in premature and low birth weight newborns is effective; We also point out that of these, 20% correspond to the United States as well as those from Mexico, while 10% are from Uruguay, Canada, Thailand, Zambia, Brazil and England respectively. Therefore, it is concluded to consider the use of polyethylene bags as an additional effective and safe intervention to prevent hypothermia in premature and low birth weight newborns. Conclusions: 100% (10/10) of scientific articles have shown that the use of polyethylene bags is effective in interrupting heat loss through convection, conduction and evaporation mechanisms. Likewise, by preventing hypothermia we not only find stable oxygen saturation but also other vital functions and consequently the most serious complication such as neurological damage is avoided.

Relationship between level of knowledge and attitude in the care that nurses have regarding the kangaroo mother method in premature infants less than 1500 grams in the NICU service of the National Maternal Perinatal Institute Lima 2022
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-10-16) Huallpacuna Torres de Ttito, Luz Marina; Cárdenas de Fernández, María Hilda
Approximately twenty million babies with minimal birth weight are born worldwide annually as a result of premature labor, or due to problems in prenatal development; To this end, the Kangaroo Mother Method is implemented, whose main objective is to reduce infant mortality and prevent the effects of premature birth, based on exclusive breastfeeding, early stimulation, heat and skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby. The purpose of the research study was “to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes in the care of nurses regarding the kangaroo mother method of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Maternity of Lima, 2022.” The project under study works under the quantitative approach, method: hypothetical - deductive, applied type, and a non-experimental, cross-sectional correlational design. The population is made up of 75 graduate nurses from the “Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the National Maternal Perinatal Institute”. The technique to be used will be the survey and as an instrument the CORPUS questionnaire with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.934, and the MARQUEZ knowledge instrument with a Crombach's Alpha. If α = 0.5 or > the instrument is reliable. To determine the reliability of the device, the Crombach's Alpha coefficient of the directional device has been tested and measured at 0.50 in the attitude instrument.

Steam sterilization monitoring through indicator verification at the National Cardiovascular Institute – 2021
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-01-09) Leiva Velásquez, Leddy Marisa; Cabrera Espezua, Jeannelly Paola
The Sterilization Center as a unit in charge of providing the different hospital services, surgical and procedure area, material and instruments in optimal conditions of sterility, makes use of the different sterilization methods. In this academic work, the steam sterilization method is highlighted, monitoring the process continuously and systematized, guaranteeing the effectiveness of the method in the final product through the verification of indicators. Objective: Monitor steam sterilization by verifying indicators at the National Cardiovascular Institute – Incor 2021. Materials and Methods: Study with a quantitative approach, descriptive methodological design, cross-sectional retrospective. The population will be made up of 260 first steam sterilization cycles and the sample will be 110 records taken in a simple random manner, corresponding to the month of June. The collection technique will be structured observation and the instrument will be a checklist, a construct developed by the author, which includes 25 items grouped into 3 dimensions, with dichotomous responses. The instrument was subjected to expert judgment with tests of validity and reliability at an acceptable level. Each checklist will be applied respecting ethical principles.
