Abstract
Babies with low birth weight is a condition where a baby is born with a weight of less than 2,500 grams. Such babies face a higher risk of mortality compared to those born with normal weight due to the immaturity of their organ systems, including the lungs, kidneys, heart, immune system, and digestive system. Babies with low birth weight often struggle to adapt to their environment, leading to instability in physiological functions such as temperature, heart rate, and oxygen saturation. This can result in hypothermia, increased heart rate, decreased respiratory frequency, recurrent apnea, and reduced SpO2 levels. This study aims to describe the nursing care provided to By.Ny.D, a patient with a medical diagnosis of babies with low birth weight in the Perinatology Room at Waled Hospital, Cirebon Regency. A qualitative research design with a case study approach was employed. The subject of the case study was By.Ny.D, observed over three days from January 22nd—24th, 2024. The primary nursing issues identified were ineffective breathing patterns and nutritional deficits. After three days of nursing care, the study concluded that the problems of ineffective breathing patterns and nutritional deficits remained unresolved, necessitating the continuation of the planned interventions.
