ABSTRACT
Objective: To compare in neonates with transitory tachypnea if chest rebalancing thoraco-abdominal method (RTA) increased immediate pain. Methods: This was a randomized controlled clinical trial. Forty-nine neonates with transitory tachypnea and aged < 72 hours were included to receive either conventional physiotherapy (CP) or RTA method. Participants received usual care and one 15- minute session of chest physiotherapy. Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS), peripheral oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiratory rate, axillary temperature before and after chest physiotherapy were recorded. Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA and Mc Nemar test were used to compare differences between measures. The relative risk (RR) for pain after interventions was calculated using a Poisson regression model (robust estimation). A significance level of 5% (p < 0.05) was adopted for all analyses. Results: RTA was not associated to pain. After chest physiotherapy, NIPS reduced (2 versus 3, p < 0.001) and number of neonates with pain reduced (10.2% versus 28.6%, p = 0.02). RR for pain after chest physiotherapy in comparison to before was 0.3 (95% CI 0.15-0.41; p = 0.02); respiratory frequency decreased after chest physiotherapy (58 versus 70, p < 0.001) and peripheral oxygen saturation increased (98% versus 96%, p < 0.001). Conclusion: In neonates with transitory tachypnea, in the first 72 hours of life, RTA did not influence pain evaluation, chest physiotherapy was safe and reduced immediate pain. (AU)
Objetivo: Comparar em recém-nascidos com taquipneia transitória se o método reequilíbrio tóraco-abdominal (RTA) aumentou a dor imediatamente após. Métodos: Estudo de ensaio clínico randomizado. Quarenta e nove recémnascidos com diagnóstico de taquipneia transitória com menos de 72 horas de vida, foram incluídos para receber fisioterapia respiratória. Os participantes receberam os cuidados usuais e uma sessão de fisioterapia convencional ou do método reequilíbrio tóraco-abdominal. Foram registradas a escala NIPS (Neonatal Infant Pain Scale), a saturação periférica de oxigênio, a frequência cardíaca, a frequência respiratória e a temperatura axilar antes e depois da fisioterapia. Para as comparações entre as medidas, foram utilizados o teste de ANOVA de Kruskal-Wallis e o teste de McNemar. O risco relativo de dor após os procedimentos foi calculado usando o modelo de regressão de Poisson (estimação robusta). Foi considerado o nível de significância de 5% para todas as análises (p < 0,05). Resultados: O método RTA não foi associado a dor. Após a fisioterapia respiratória, a escala NIPS reduziu (2 versus 3, p < 0,001) e a proporção de recém-nascidos com dor também reduziu (10,2% versus 28,6%, p = 0,02). O risco relativo de dor após a fisioterapia respiratória em comparação a antes, foi de 0,3 (IC 95% 0,15-0,41; p = 0,02), a frequência respiratória diminuiu (58 versus 70, p < 0,001) e a saturação periférica de oxigênio aumentou (98% versus 96%, p < 0,001). Conclusão: Em recém-nascidos com taquipneia transitória nas primeiras 72 horas de vida, o método RTA não influenciou a avaliação da dor, a fisioterapia respiratória foi segura e reduziu a dor imediatamente após.

El presente estudio analiza la práctica del cuidado respiratorio en cinco regiones del país, por medio de una investigación de carácter descriptivo- exploratoria, que busca revisar las tendencias de formación, las condiciones laborales, los roles que ejercen sus practicantes, los dilemas del ejercicio profesional y la caracterización de las funciones de los fisioterapeutas y terapeutas respiratorios. La información se obtuvo mediante encuesta a fisioterapeutas, terapeutas respiratorios, entrevista a profesionales de enfermería y médicos intensivistas que trabajan en instituciones de salud de tercer y cuarto nivel de complejidad en las ciudades seleccionadas para el estudio. La información recopilada incluye desde el quehacer diario, los conocimientos y las preferencias respecto a la práctica de los profesionales, hasta los aspectos relacionados con las condiciones laborales y las características de su ejercicio profesional. El estudio permitió concluir que hay una idealización de los roles, vacíos conceptuales para ejercer eficientemente el cuidado respiratorio sin una formación adicional tipo posgrado o cursos de entrenamiento en el área, debilidad en las funciones administrativas, investigativas, de atención domiciliaria y de evaluación social del entorno, falta de posicionamiento del quehacer ante el equipo interdisciplinario y condiciones laborales precarias.
This study analyse the respiratory care practice in five regions f the country, by means of a descriptive - exploratory research, aiming to review the formation tendencies, the working conditions, the roles of the practitioners, the professional practice dilemmas and the characterization of the physical therapeutic and respiratory therapeutic functions. The information was obtained through surveys with respiratory therapeutics, physical therapeutics, interview with infirmary and medical professionals, who work in third and fourth complexity degree health institutions in select cities for the study. The collected information includes not only daily routines but also the knowledge and preferences regarding the professional practice and their related aspects of labour conditions and characteristics of the professional exercise. The study allowed to conclude that there is an idealization of the conceptual missing roles to efficiently carry out the respiratory care without and additional formation of graduate level or training courses in this area, weakness of the administrative and investigative functions of domiciliary attentions and initial evaluation of the environment, lack of positioning of the function in front of the interdisciplinary team and precarious labour conditions.
