Background: Results of several studies suggest that prone position is beneficial in improving
the preterm infants' cardio-respiratory status. Previous studies showed opposite results, and …

Aims: Mechanical ventilation is used for some infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICU)
due to many physiological and clinical causes. Since these patients have endotracheal …

Background To investigate the effects of different body positions and head elevation angles
on regional cerebral oxygen saturation in premature infants using near-infrared …

Objective To evaluate the influence of body position on the displacement of nasal prongs in
preterm infants. Methods This prospective, randomized, crossover study enrolled infants …

The rate of death and illnesses on premature babies is mostly respiratory distress syndrome
(RDS). Desaturated-period frequently occurs on premature babies with RDS. One …

Introduction: Stress experienced by the baby will affect the body's function by increasing the
body's metabolism. Nesting is used to reduce stress in premature babies. Nesting can be …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of supine and prone positions on
physiological parameters of preterm infants under nasal continuous positive airway pressure …

High prevalence of preterm infants' birth is considered a serious problem in health system in
recent decades. Positions of the body in preterm neonates who receive respiratory support …

Background. Neonates are exposed to many stimuli in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
(NICU). Pharmacological agents and Nonpharmacological Interventions (NPI) are used to …

Background: The procedure of neonatal positioning is a crucial factor in both oxygenation of
tissues and ventilation, while the best method of positioning the neonate with respiratory …
