RESUMEN
Introducción:
El consumo de cocaína durante la gestación gatilla isquemia, muerte y licuefacción celular en el cerebro fetal, consolidando en la infancia grados variables de retraso mental. El presente estudio busca identificar mediante test de drogas en orina los recién nacidos (RN) expuestos a cocaína en el embarazo y describir el procedimiento clínico y social a seguir.Metodología:
Estudio de cohorte prospectivo enero 2016 y enero 2018 en RN con exposición antenatal a cocaína, Unidad de Neonatología del Hospital Clínico San Borja Arriarán.Resultados:
Se estudió a 64 RN con test en orina positivo a cocaína. El 42% fue pequeño para la edad gestacional, 33% tenía microcefalia. Se encontraron malformaciones en sistema nervioso y vías urinarias, trastornos del ritmo cardíaco e hipoacusia. Solo 32,8% de las madres controló su embarazo y 52% rechazó la rehabilitación. Servicio Social interpuso medidas de protección a los RN e instó a las madres a programas de rehabilitación. El 12,5% de los RN no tenía familia de apoyo y debió ser derivado a instituciones gubernamentales.Conclusiones:
Las consecuencias de la exposición a cocaína antenatal en el RN son devastadoras. Este trabajo permite orientar la pesquisa, estudio y pasos legales a seguir con los RN afectados y sus madres.ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The consumption of cocaine during pregnancy triggers events such as ischemia, death and cell liquefaction in the fetal brain, consolidating varying degrees of intellectual disability. This study proposed to identify by urine drug test the newborns (NB) with antenatal exposure to and describe the clinical and social procedure to follow with them and their mothers until neonatal discharge.Methodology:
Prospective cohort study, conducted in RN who met criteria for risk of antenatal exposure to cocaine, Neonatology Unit of the San Borja Arriaran Clinical Hospital between January 2016 -2018.Results:
Antenatal exposure to cocaine was confirmed on 64 NB. Forty-two percent of them were small for gestational age and 33% had microcephaly. Malformations were found in the nervous system urinary tract, as well as disorders in the rhythm of the heart and loss of hearing. Only 32% of mothers controlled her pregnancy, none of them was derived to the secondary. Social Services implemented all the NB protective measures in place and urged mothers to participate in rehabilitation programs. Fifty-two percent rejected rehabilitation and 12.5% of the NB have not family support and had to be referred to government institutions.Conclusions:
The consequences of exposure to antenatal cocaine in the NB are devastating. This work allows orienting the research with the NB and showing the legal steps should be taken with the RN and their mothers.
