Abstract

Introduction: In recent years, due to the increase in morbidity and mortality of newborns with intrauterine growth restriction, a care protocol has been implemented in Cuba that includes performing coagulogram in the first hours of life, which increased the use of resources while it is a painful intervention for neonates with or without associated risk factors and possible erroneous interpretation of the results due to the lack of consensus for those values considered normal. This situation entails a variation in the treatment when compared with the control suggested by the reagent manufacturer or by the values accepted for the term and preterm neonate without a diagnosis of intrauterine growth restriction.

Objective: To determine the prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time values for neonates with intrauterine growth restriction on the first day of life.

Methods: A descriptive and prospective study was carried out at Ciro Redondo General Teaching Hospital, Artemisa province from March 2021 to February 2022. The sample were made up of neonates with nutritional assessment less than the tenth percentile, born in the maternity hospital. during the study period. The statistical methods of minimum, maximum and mean value were used. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee.

Results: Prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time showed variability with respect to the control. Thromboplastin time was the longest.

Conclusions: At lower gestational age and lower weight, there was greater prolongation of prothrombin and partial activated thromboplastin times.
