Detailed Description

The infants were random in three groups: Conventional techniques, actual techniques and suction of upper airways On the first two groups the infants were evaluated on admission,48,72hours and before hospital discharge. On third group was evaluated only on admission when SRV was collected.

Respiratory distress was evaluated with Wang's score by the physiotherapists and nurses not participating in the research.
