Resumen

Objetivo: verificar o efeito do nível de iluminância no interior de incubadoras nos parâmetros clínicos de recém-nascidos prematuros em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal. Métodos: pesquisa post hoc longitudinal e prospectiva, com 14 recém-nascidos prematuros em incubadoras de três Unidades de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal. Os níveis de iluminância e os parâmetros clínicos foram mensurados às 6h00, 12h00, 18h00 e 00h00. Os dados foram analisados por medidas descritivas e regressão linear. Resultados: os níveis medianos de iluminância foram elevados às 12h00 (662,5 lux), 18h00 (115,5 lux) e 6h00 (114,0 lux). As medianas da frequência cardíaca e respiratória foram maiores na avaliação das 6h00 e os da pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica, saturação de oxigênio e temperatura, às 12h00. Não se registraram diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os níveis de iluminância durante os quatro períodos de registro e os parâmetros clínicos. Conclusão: os elevados níveis de iluminância ao longo do dia não afetaram estatisticamente os parâmetros vitais dos recém-nascidos prematuros. Contribuições para a prática: os elevados valores de iluminância no interior de incubadoras demandam a utilização de intervenções que possam reduzi-los a fim de mitigar outros prováveis efeitos clínicos em recém-nascidos prematuros.
