Abstract

Introduction: Sensorimotor intervention is frequently used to prevent or minimize dysfunction in the development of preterm newborns (PTNB). However, further studies on its influence in hospitalized PTNB are needed. Objective: To verify the influence of a sensorimotor intervention on physiological parameters and body weight in hospitalized PTNB. Methods: Thirty stable PTNB underwent a sensorimotor intervention during 10 minutes daily for 3 consecutive days. Comparative analyzes were performed considering the variables respiratory rate (RF), cardiac frequency (CF), oxygen saturation (SaO2), Silverman-Andersen Score (SAS), and body weight, measured immediately before the intervention, immediately after, and at 15 minutes after the intervention. Results: RF was higher in the 15th minute after the intervention than before (p<0.05). SpO2 increased immediately after the intervention (p<0.05). Body weight increased over the three days (p<0.001). CF and SAS remained constant. Conclusion: The sensorimotor intervention may have contributed to better
respiratory rate and oxygen saturation and was shown to be safe for PTNB.
