ABSTRACT
Background: Pregnancy in women addicted represents, in itself, a major
risk of destruction of physical and mental health of the unborn child;
urgent prevention is the same as essential to providing quality care to
the mother and child knowledge.
Objective: Describe the physical and sociodemographic characteristics
of neonates in intensive care units, born of mothers with addictions.
Materials and Method: Cross-sectional, descriptive study of neonates
with addict mothers, analyzing age, gender, clinical symptoms and
complications. Findings for frequency-percentages with regard to
qualitative variables, and medians and ranges for quantitative variables.
SPSS-20.0-Windows Statistics software package.
Results: 618 patients admitted to the NICU, 180(29%) showing withdrawal
symptoms; irritability in 117(63%), intensive crying in 93(51%),
spontaneous Moro reflex 74(42%), diarrhea 61(30%), fever 61(30%).
Birth defects 124(20%), from greater to lesser occurrence: disorders in
central nervous system, digestive tract and abdominal wall, extremities,
kidneys, and others. 309(50%) weight lower than 2600g. The most
frequent metabolic disorders were hypoglycemia, Metabolic Acidosis
and jaundice, among others.
Conclusions: Every day, we see more children born of substancedependent
mothers in the Mexico. Our study reveals high mortality rate
and many complications for this group; thus, it becomes necessary to
institute preventive measures among Mexican women of childbearing
age in order to prevent illegal drug use and to increase treatment among
pregnant addicts. Gynecologists, pediatricians and neonatologists must
have extensive knowledge regarding the entire clinical-social spectrum
of symptoms that may be observed in children of mothers suffering
addictions.
