Brief Summary

Objective to evaluate the effects of vibration techniques and acceleration of expiratory flow on pain parameters in preterm infants diagnosed with pneumonia hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit and Neonatal Intermediate Care Unit. The Method is a descriptive and interventional study, in which 28 PTNB were randomly divided into two groups: Group 1 submitted to the vibration technique and Group 2 - to the acceleration of the expiratory flow, both techniques were applied in an interval of up to ten minutes, for Three consecutive days. The pain indicators were evaluated according to the PIPP scale in three moments. For statistical analysis, the Friedman tests and Variance Analysis were applied, the level of significance adopted was 5%.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluation of the parameters of the pain profile scale in preterm infants at different times

    The pain indicators of the preterm infants (PIPP) of the two groups were evaluated in three moments, before the application of the technique (T1), immediately after the application of the technique (T2) and 15 minutes After its termination (T3), by a researcher previously trained and blind as to the procedure performed

    The total collection period was six months, and each procedure was performed on the volunteers for three consecutive days.

Study Arms (2)

Vibration technique

EXPERIMENTAL

Rhythmic and rapid movements of isometric contraction of the forearm, applied manually over the anterior region of the thorax

Other: Vibration technique

Acceleration of expiratory flow

EXPERIMENTAL

Soft compression of the thorax applied with one hand on the lower ribs and the other using the ulnar border on the supramammary line

Other: Acceleration of expiratory flow

Interventions
