Conditions

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia originated on perinatal period

Interventions

30 Infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia were submitted to two positionings: (1) Skin-to-skin contact (Experimental: In their mother's lap) and (2) Prone position (Control: Ventral decubitus in the

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1: Maintenance or any reduction of Heart Rate - Checked through multi-parameter monitor, before and during the positioning (after 30 minutes, after 1 hour).;Result Found 1: The change in position did not show significant changes in heart rate after 30 minutes (p= 0,535, IC= 95%), neither after 1 hour (p = 0,890, IC= 95%).;Expected outcome 2: Maintenance or any reduction of Respiratory Rate - Checked through multi-parameter monitor, before and during the positioning (after 30 minutes, after 1 hour).;Result Found 2: The change in position did not show significant changes in respiratory rate after 30 minutes (p= 1,000, IC= 95%), neither after 1 hour (p = 0,395, IC= 95%).;Expected outcome 3: Maintenance or any increase of Peripheral oxygen saturation - Checked through multi-parameter monitor, before and during the positioning (after 30 minutes, after 1 hour).;Result Found 3: The change in position did not show significant changes in Peripheral oxygen saturation after 30 minutes (p= 0,370, IC= 95%), neither after 1 hour (p = 0,259, IC= 95%).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1: Any reduction of Silverman-Andersen Score, before and during the positioning (after 30 minutes, after 1 hour).;Result found 1: The change in position did not show significant changes in Silverman-Andersen Score after 30 minutes (p= 0,724, IC= 95%), neither after 1 hour (p = 0,939, IC= 95%).;Expected outcome 2: Any reduction of subcostal and sternal furcula retractions, before and during the positioning (after 30 minutes, after 1 hour).;Result found 2: The change in position did not show significant changes in subcostal and sternal furcula retractions, before and during the positioning after 30 minutes, neither after 1 hour (p = 1,000, IC= 95%).;Expected outcome 3: Any reduction of occurrence and duration of peripheral oxygen saturation drops.;Result found 3: The change in position did not show significant changes in occurrence (p =0,730, IC = 95%) and duration of peripheral oxygen saturation drops (p =0,287, IC = 95%).
