Nursing care for newborns with targeted temperature management post cardiac arrest: A case study
Keywords:
targeted temperature management, nursing care, newborn, post cardiac arrestAbstract
Newborns with cardiac arrest result in brain ischemia and targeted temperature management (TTM) is recommended to improve their brain function. Nurses who closely provide care for newborns with critical illness need to have optimal knowledge and practical skills in caring for newborns treated with TTM to prevent and resolve complications that may arise during the treatment, as well as to maintain their good neurological outcomes.
This article presents the role of nurses in caring for newborn patients treated with TTM after cardiac arrest in terms of the knowledge and the principles of nursing care for newborns treated with TTM in order to develop nurses' competence in knowledge, skills and knowledge management in the care of newborns treated with TTM by linking to knowledge based on the role of nurses in caring for case studies. Suggestions on nurses’ role in monitoring and evaluating patients before being discharged from the hospital, and improvement of nursing practice guidelines are also presented.
