RESUMOIntrodução: O contato pele a pele (CPP) entre mãe e recém-nascido (RN) é uma intervenção simples, que facilita o processo de transição deste para o meio extra-uterino e favorece o início da amamentação precoce. Este estudo objetivou analisar a prevalência de CPP entre mãe e RN e de amamentação na primeira hora de vida.Métodos: Estudo transversal, conduzido no centro obstétrico de um hospital universitário no sul do Brasil, em que se observou a interação entre mãe e RN a termo e com peso ≥2500g, durante a primeira hora de vida do neonato (n=111). Utilizou-se estatística descritiva, os testes qui-quadrado, exato de Fisher e correção de Yates para análise dos dados.Resultados: A prevalência de CPP foi de 81%, enquanto 52% dos RN foram amamentados no período. O tempo médio para iniciar a sucção ao seio foi de 29±11 minutos de vida, sendo que 47% RN sugaram por até 15 minutos, 41% sugaram por 15-30 minutos e apenas 12% sugaram por mais de 30 minutos. Conclusão:O contato pele a pele favorece o início da amamentação na primeira hora de vida, sendo recomendado como indicador assistencial.

This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of SSC between mother and newborn and of breastfeeding in the first hour of life (n=111). Methods:A cross-sectional study conducted at the obstetric center of a university hospital in southern Brazil, where the interaction between mother and newborn was observed at term and weighing ≥2500g, during the neonate's first hour of life (n=111). Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, Fisher's exact test and Yates correction were used for data analysis.Results: The prevalence of SSC was 81%, while 52% of the newborns were breastfed in the period. The mean time to start suckling at the breast was 29 ± 11 minutes, with 47% newborns sucking for up to 15 minutes, 41% sucking for 15-30 minutes and only 12% sucking for more than 30 minutes. Conclusions:Skin-to-skin contact favors the initiation of breastfeeding in the first hour of life and is recommended as a care indicator.

The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate clinical outcomes of the first year of life of premature infants discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) based on mortality and readmission data, and the motor development of the children. The sample consisted of 170 children with gestational age under 37 weeks and who survived hospitalization in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Data were collected from medical records, the hospital IT system and telephone interview with the caregiver. The authors found 100% survival during the study period and that 39.4% of the infants were often readmitted (26.5%) due to respiratory conditions. Their development was considered as expected, when using the corrected age. In conclusion, the premature infants from this study showed good clinical evolution of the proposed observation. Descriptors:Intensive care units, neonatal. Infant, premature. Infant, very low birth weight.
