Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the thoracoabdominal rebalancing method does not provoke painful stimulation in the newborn, based on the finding of a variation of at least 5% in pre- and post-intervention measurements, assessed using the neonatal pain scale (facial expression, crying , breathing, position of arms and legs, and alertness). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the thoracoabdominal rebalancing method promotes a reduction in respiratory rate and a reduction in respiratory effort, based on the finding of a variation of at least 5% in pre- and post-intervention measurements, assessed through the observation of vital signs (counting of the respiratory rate) and report by Silverman Andersen, respectively.;It is expected that the thoracoabdominal rebalancing method promotes a change in posture of the treated segment and greater use of the diaphragm with improvement in peripheral oxygen saturation, based on the finding of a variation of at least 5% in pre- and post-intervention measurements, evaluated by means of thoracic cirtometry, charpy angle and pulse oximetry, respectively. | — |
