The effectiveness of quarter turn from prone in maintaining respiratory function in premature infants

Abstract: Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of quarter turn from prone compared with supine and prone positioning in maintaining respiratory function in premature infants managed in a neonatal intensive care unit. Methods: The study was a prospective, randomised, cross-over trial with concealed allocation and intention to treat analysis. Fifty-four infants ≤32 weeks gestation were randomly allocated to the order of the positions supine, prone and quarter turn from prone. Distribution of venti… Show more
