LOPEZ RODRIGUEZ, Laura Valentina. Intervention strategies in the neonatal ICU: a physiotherapeutic approach. Medicas UIS [online]. 2021, vol.34, n.1, pp.63-72.  Epub 01-Abr-2021. ISSN 0121-0319.  https://doi.org/10.18273/revmed.v34n1-2021007.

The physiotherapist throughout his profession has broadened the spectrum of interventions and performance scenarios, one of the most recent being the approach in the neonatal intensive care unit. Recently, different intervention strategies have been reported in the literature with the aim of achieving adequate development of the newborn, such as massage, kinesthetic stimulation, education in the kangaroo mother program, and chest maneuvers. This article aimed to review the current information from the scientific evidence available on these different intervention strategies in the neonatal intensive care unit, so a bibliographic review of the articles found between February and August 2019 in PUBMED and SCOPUS databases was carried out. 40 articles which met the eligibility criteria were obtained and included in the review. Finally, it is concluded that these physiotherapeutic intervention strategies contribute to the achievement of an adequate integral development in the neonate. MÉD.UIS.2021;34(1): 63-72
