Eligibility

Age
0 Days to 60 Days

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients hospitalized at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a university hospital; considered premature; with gestational age less than 37 weeks; up to 60 days of age; clinically stable.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: clinical instability; heart rate bigger then 180 beats per minute or less than 100 beats per minute; respiratory rate bigger than 60 breaths per minute or less than 40 breaths per minute; SpO2 less than 89%; infants needing ventilatory support; presence of infectious process; use of phototherapy; neurological problems and congenital facial malformations that would not allow the application of the Pain Assessment Scale NIPS, as well as the Sleep State Assessment Scale and Adapted Vigilance of Brazelton.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
After 30 minutes of intervention, there will be pain reduction (measured by the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale - NIPS) and improvement in sleep state (measured by the Brazelton Sleep Scale) of newborns in group G2 (intervention).;The G2 showed decreased pain (p=<0,05). G1(3,4 ±1,5) and G2 (0,5±0,5).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The positive Hammock Method effects on physiological variables: There will not be significative differences in oxygen saturation, there will not be prejudice in heart rate and there will be decrease in respiratory rate. These variables will be observed on multiparameter monitor Dash 4000.;The G2 showed respiratory rate reduction (p=0,03), G1 (RF= 54 rpm) and G2 (RF=41,7 rpm).
