What is asphyxia perinatal?

Asphyxia is a clinical state caused by a decrease in hematosis, of sufficient intensity to lead to adaptation to death if urgent resuscitation is not reversed.
Asphyxia is accompanied by hypoxemia and hypercapnia, followed by ischemia, histic hypoxia, and lactic acidosis.
Depression at birth can be, in some cases, the interrupted adaptation of an intrauterine asphyctic state, but it can also be a consequence of any fetal alteration or event that affects the newborn's normal adaptation to extrauterine life.
The Apgar test is not useful for evaluating the condition of newborns with perinatal asphyxia.
The causes of perinatal asphyxia can be maternal, funiculoplacental, or related to neonatal depression.
The severity of perinatal asphyxia can be classified as severe, moderate, or mild, according to the Apgar score.
Perinatal asphyxia can cause complications in the nervous, respiratory, circulatory, urinary, digestive, and metabolic systems.
The nursing diagnosis for perinatal asphyxia includes ineffective tissue perfusion, decreased cardiac output, impaired gas exchange, and impaired protection.
The nursing care for perinatal asphyxia includes ensuring adequate oxygenation, maintaining body temperature, monitoring vital signs, and administering medications as prescribed.
The nursing evaluation for perinatal asphyxia includes monitoring the newborn's clinical manifestations, response to treatment, and complications.
