Conditions

premature, bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Interventions

Randomized clinical trial with 12 preterm newborns (PNB) with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), allocated by lot, in two groups: increased slow expiratory flow (AFEL), formed by 7 PTN
and thoracic vibration (VB), consisting of 5 PTNBs. Initially the sample consisted of 16 PTNBs, 2 of these were excluded from the study, 1 were diagnosed by intracranial hemorrhage (IVH) grade IV and

Eligibility

Age
0 Months to 3 Months

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: prematurity; bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: malformations head, neck and / or heart; genetic syndromes; intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) grade III and IV; perinatal asphyxia (Apgar score <5 at 5 minutes of life); bilirubin encephalopathy, shortened frenulum of the tongue and not parental consent and / or legal guardians for the child's participation in the study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Stabilization of cardiorespiratory parameters (respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation) and better feeding performance of premature infants with respiratory discomfort through the technique of increased slow expiratory flow (AFEL). The infants were evaluated 5 minutes after the first oral supply of milk, on the same day of the offer.;AFEL technique provided better stability of cardiorespiratory parameters. The respiratory rate of the vibration group was significantly elevated compared to AFEL after oral feeding (p <0.002).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Occurrence of some sign of stress during oral feeding. Evaluated with the observation of the first oral offer, at the time of the offer itself (data recorded on the baby's chart).;Results with no significant relevance.
