Abstract
Ophthalmia neonatorum is characterized by the presentation of conjunctivitis in the
infant during the first month of life, it can be caused by an infection with Neisseria
gonorrhoeae (N. gonorrhoeae), Chlamydia Trachomatis (C. trachomatis) or other bacteria
or virus (1). As a result, since 1880 preventive health interventions began to be implemented
by health professionals in the transitional period of the newborn, and prenatal therapeutic
management has been implemented to avoid the infection and clinical presentation of
neonatal ophthalmia. The objective of this review is to strengthen the recommendations
postulated in the newborn care CPG based on scientific evidence. Methodological design:
Bibliographic review with the application of the five phases of Evidence-Based Nursing in
the Cochrane library, Pubmed and Scopus databases. Results: We consolidated 21
interventions at a general level that have emerged over time. Silver nitrate 1% is related to
present chemical conjunctivitis in 50-90%, Erythromycin 0.5% is more effective and is
recommended by the FDA, Povidone Iodine 1.25
