Abstract

Perinatal hypoxia is a concern because of its possible role in the development of cerebral palsy. Optimal nursing care is essential in these infants at risk of neurological damage. A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective investigation was conducted at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Mariana Grajales Cuello Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in Villa Clara in 2009 and 2010. The universe was formed by 92 nurses and the sample by 80 nurses selected through a non-probability and intentional sampling. Tests, questionnaires and interviews were conducted to collect data. The result were that the level of fundamental theoretical skills of nurses about the management of hypoxic neonate is low and that the  learning needs were neonatal resuscitation, thermoregulation, suctioning, oxygen therapy and the nursing care for neurodevelopment. Considering these needs, a care strategy was designed as a contribution to early intervention in neurodevelopment in infants with risks of brain damage.
