An interventional study of Prone position and Supine position in Pregnancy Preterm, sponsored by Uniao Metropolitana de Educacao e Cultura. Status unknown at 1 site in Brazil. Open to participants aged Up to 36 Weeks. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-06-18.
Sponsored by Uniao Metropolitana de Educacao e Cultura · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patient positioning (prone and supine positioning) contributes to the success of extubation in the immediate postextubation period of preterm infants.
This study is double-blinded randomized controlled trial, whose aim is to compare the proportion of successful extubation of preterm infants immediately after the extubation. Methods: Participants will be recruited from neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and they will be divided into two groups (supine and prone) and positioned in their respective groups after extubation. A clinical evaluation form and a parameters collection form (respiratory rate, heart rate, saturation of peripheral oxygen, fraction of inspired oxygen and temperature) will be used and filled before extubation and 48 hours after by the professional staff of the NICU. It will be considered a successful extubation all participants who staying extubated for 48 hours after extubation.

Exclusion Criteria:
Prone position per 48 hours after extubation
Other: Prone position
Supine position per 48 hours after extubation
Other: Supine position
Participants of intervention group will be placed in prone position immediately after extubation and positioned over a roll to raise the chest and facilitate diaphragmatic dynamic, with lateralized head and aligned with the trunk, upper and lower limbs flexed and hands near the face, facilitating hand-mouth access.
Also known as: Ventral decubitus
Participants of control group remain in supine position after extubation and positioned with the head in the midline, with the upper side of the thorax and brought forward and rolls down the legs to promote slight flexion (30-40º) in the hips and knees.
Also known as: Dorsal decubitus
