Conditions

Lung Atelectasis

Interventions

This is a randomized and controlled clinical trial. We included 30 infants (28 days of age to 24 months of age) on invasive mechanical ventilation for a period greater than or equal to 12 hours throu

Eligibility

Age
28 Days to 2 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Infants with 28 days to 24 months of age; both genders; on invasive mechanical ventilation for a period greater than or equal to 12 hours through an orotracheal cannula; diagnosed with Atelectasis by a pediatric intensive care physician through clinical and imaging examination (chest x-ray and lung ultrasound); whose legal guardians have authorized the child's participation in the study through the Free and Informed Consent Form

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with bilateral atelectasis; any type of air leak syndrome (such as: subcutaneous emphysema, pneumothorax, pneumatocele, pneumomediastinum); pulmonary hemorrhage; diseases that cause bone fragility (costal osteoporosis and osteomyelitis); chest and/or lung bruises; subcutaneous pacemaker; treatment with anticoagulants for more than 72 continuous hours; hemodynamic instability; thrombocytopenia (<50,000 platelets); using a chest tube; with underlying neuromuscular or cardiac diseases and spinal deformities (kyphoscoliosis)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1: It is expected that the application of the Structured Respiratory Physiotherapy Protocol (PEFR) in the intervention group will promote a reduction in the Lung Ultrasound Score (LUS) with values ??of p<0.05, based on the observation of a variation in pre- and post-intervention measurements when compared to the control group;Outcome found 1: Significant differences were observed when comparing CG and GI before versus after intragroup respiratory physiotherapy. Regarding the LUS score in the CG, the difference between the medians (IQ25-75%) before respiratory physiotherapy [ 2 (1-3) ] and after respiratory physiotherapy [ 1 (1 -2.5)] in the CG was 1 , (p= 0.01) while in the GI, the difference between the medians (IQ25-75%) before respiratory physiotherapy [3 (2-3)] and after respiratory physiotherapy [1(0.5 -2)] was of 2 (p< 0.001).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 2: It is expected that the application of the Structured Respiratory Physiotherapy Protocol (PEFR) in the intervention group (IG) will promote a greater reduction in the time of invasive mechanical ventilation, pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation, length of stay in the pediatric and hospital ICU, with p values ?? 0.05) regarding time on invasive mechanical ventilation, pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation, length of stay in the pediatric ICU and hospital.
