BACKGROUND: Asphyxia delivery results in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and multiorgan failure. The organ most affected by hypoxia is the cardiovascular system. Newborns with asphyxia have a lack of oxygen (hypoxia) and have an increased heart rate (tachycardia). Giving baby positions, such as supination position, pronation, right lateral, left lateral, and head elevation, are expected to improve the hemodynamic of newborns with asphyxia.
AIM: This study was to determine the difference in effect between left lateral position and the head elevation position on the heart rate of newborns with asphyxia in the perinatology room of RSUD Dr. Soediran Mangun Sumarso Wonogiri.
METHODS: This research is a quasi-experimental quantitative study with a pre- and post-test non-equivalent control group design. Sampling using non-probability sampling technique with consecutive sampling. The sample was divided into two groups, namely, the intervention group with 30 respondents who got the left lateral position and the control group with 30 respondents who got the head elevation position. Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences parametric test with paired t-test and independent t-test.
RESULTS: The results of paired t-test analysis in the intervention group obtained p = 0.003 (p < 0.05) and in the control group obtained p < 0.001 (p < 0.05), which means that both have a significantly on changes in the heart rate of newborns with asphyxia. The results of the independent t-test analysis obtained p = 0.191 (p < 0.05), which means that there is no significant difference in the heart rate of newborns with asphyxia in the intervention and control groups.
CONCLUSION: Both interventions, giving the left lateral position and the head elevation position, have a significantly effect on changes in the heart rate of newborns with asphyxia.Downloads
