About this trial
The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of positional restraint on the stress level of preterm newborns, resting in the incubator. The main question sought to be answered is: The stress level of the preterm newborn will decrease with swaddy® containment, compared to standard care, and both with similar safety.
Participants will remain in the incubator for 3 consecutive hours and the level of stress in the same patient will be evaluated, one day with containment and another day without containment.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Newborns weighing ≤1500 grams at birth admitted to the NICU. • Patients who are in an incubator.
Disqualifiers
Hemodynamic instability.
Be a carrier of CPAP or nasal BIPAP with a cap (because the CPAP/BIPAP already has a built-in cap, just like Swaddy).
Be in treatment with phototherapy.
