Infant, Newborn
Conditions
Interventions
50 newborn individuals will be monitored for the measurement of the volume entering and leaving the lungs using two different equipment. The first is Electrical Impedance Tomography (Enlight 1800, Tim

Eligibility
Age
32 Weeks to 2 Months
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Newborns with 32 weeks of corrected gestational age at the moment of the data acquisition; without the need of ventilatory support; the ones considered eupneic at the moment of the data acquisition
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Newborns with cardiac pacemaker or other electronic implantable device; newborns with skin lesions in the area where the electrical impedance tomography belt will be placed; newborns with genetic syndromes or important cardiac malformations; newborns who could not be calmed and became too agitated during the assessments; newborns who had been previously mechanically ventilated or with history of pulmonary compromise
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find similar values ??between the volume of air entering and leaving the lungs (tidal volume) obtained by the two devices. This will be seen by comparing the tidal volume values ??obtained based on the electrical impedance tomography (which after the calculations will give a value in milliliters) against the tidal volume obtained using a flow sensor (ml) Both at the same moment in time of evaluation. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find similar values ??between the volume of air entering and leaving the lungs (tidal volume) obtained by the two devices, but the values ??of the electrical impedance tomography will be mathematically modified to correct differences that may exist between the children. This will be seen by comparing the tidal volume values ??obtained based on the corrected electrical impedance tomography (which after the calculations will give a value in milliliters) against the tidal volume obtained using a flow sensor (ml) Both at the same time in the evaluation time.;It is expected to find differences in the tidal volume of newborns when comparing newborns from two groups, the first of those born by vaginal delivery, while the other group of those born by caesarean section. | — |
