Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the interventions performed by nurses in response to changes expressed by the babies in use of oxygenotherapy hospitalized at the neonatal intensive care unit during the implementation of the procedures aspiration of tracheal tube and upper airway. Quantitative study, conducted with 56 babies. The aspiration led to increased heart rate and pulse and decreased respiratory rate after the procedure, causing falls in oxygen saturation and extremes peaks in pulse during implementation. It was predominant the non-performance of specific intervention that had as objective the improvement of the parameters of the baby. It was concluded that the study was important for bringing benefits to identifying and interpreting the changes expressed by the babies.
