Brief Summary

The kangaroo position, which is part of the Kangaroo Method strategy, is widely used in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Neonatal Intermediate Care Units and aims to promote emotional bonding, cardiorespiratory, physiological and body temperature stability, in However, there is still little scientific evidence when it comes to newborns undergoing oxygen therapy. Identify, quantify and analyze the influence of the kangaroo position on the vital signs and respiratory comfort of preterm newborns using supplemental oxygen. To collect data, a physiotherapeutic assessment form suitable for clinical analysis was used. The newborns were placed in the kangaroo position in a single session, and the variables were identified before, during and after the application of the technique.
