Objective: To verify whether the degree of prematurity influences the emergence of changes in the stomatognathic system and in the dietary profile of preterm infants between 24 and 36 months of corrected age. Methodology: Cross-sectional study, with 49 preterm infants with corrected age (24-36 months), divided into two groups: gestational age <32 and > 32 weeks, evaluated variables: dietary profile, struc...
Objetivo: analisar a prontidão do recém-nascido a termo para sugar a mama materna na primeira mamada em alojamento conjunto.

This study evaluated the impact of a participatory program to reduce noise in a neonatal intermediate care unit of a university hospital. A time-series quasi-experimental design was used, in which sound pressure levels were measured before and after the intervention was implemented using the Quest-400 dosimeter. Non-parametric statistical tests were used to compare noise with the level of significance fixed at ...
A alimentação do prematuro é uma preocupação na assistência neonatal e o aleitamento materno tem sido recomendado. Entretanto, nem todos os serviços preconizam alimentação ao seio materno a essa clientela. O objetivo do estudo foi comparar os efeitos da sucção à mamadeira e ao seio materno sobre a saturação de oxigênio, temperatura cutânea, freqüências cardíaca e respiratória. Trata-se de estudo de caso, no qua...
