- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoIncompatibilidad sanguínea en recién nacidos(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Caivinagua Llanos, María Susana; Vargas Redrovan, Karen Michelle; Durazno Montesdeoca, Gloria Cedillo; 0104978879; 0107063901Blood incompatibility is a condition that emerges because the mother's blood group is negative and the newborn's is positive, i.e., they are not compatible, so the pregnant woman's body creates specific antibodies that act against the baby's blood. Objective: To determine the most relevant aspects of blood incompatibility in newborns. Methodology: The present study is a literature review based on different scientific articles from the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, Medline, ProQuest, Web of Science, SciELO, and Redalyc. Results: The prevalence of blood incompatibility in newborns is around 276 diagnosed cases per one hundred thousand live newborns. The risk factors associated with this condition are problems in the pregnant woman’s immune system, noncompliance with prenatal controls, and the fact that the father's blood group is positive. Complications include gradual destruction of fetal red blood cells, kernicterus, cerebral palsy, hearing loss, intellectual disabilities, and hydrops fetalis. The therapeutic approach includes phototherapy, blood transfusions, and drug administration. Nursing interventions focus on educating parents, promoting maternal self-care and autonomy, and monitoring the child's vital signs and skin color. Conclusions: Blood incompatibility is a disease that can condition fetal development and neonatal survival once extrauterine life has begun.
