| Summary: | Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, secondary to asphyxia during childbirth, remains an important cause of postnatal death and permanent neurological deficit in the world. Nursing interventions continue as the pillar of the treatment, allowing some comfort to the patient. The study aimed to implement the nursing process in the care of a pediatric patient with brain damage as a consequence of perinatal asphyxia. We conducted a clinical case study in a Pediatric Intensive Unit in Durango, Mexico, in November and December 2017. The data was obtained after the evaluation and presented in the nursing process in its phases of history, evolution, diagnosis, planning of the interventions and results obtained. We emphasize the importance of the process as a focus of the nurse's work, capable of enabling the development of evidence-based care and also to enhance its credibility. |
