Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All newborns admitted to the Neonatal Unit of the Hospital Universitário Antônio Pedro.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: All seriously ill newborn where manipulation can aggravate their health status; the presence of lesions of discontinuity of the cutaneous integrity at the place where the electrodes are placed; the presence of devices for treatments.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Confirm that changes in the methodology for performing bioelectrical impedance in newborns generate different measurements of resistance and reactance when the electrode is placed in the anatomical position and when the electrode is placed at a distance of 5cm.

Secondary
