Reflex Rolling Versus Lung Squeezing Techniques On Pulmonary Functions In Premature Neonate With Pneumonia

NCT06706128 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: Pneumonia.
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 24
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Respiratory problems in neonates are one of the leading causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries. These respiratory problems are seen in premature neonates, which mainly include respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), pneumonia, requiring ventilatory assistance or oxygen support

Conditions

Pneumonia

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Respiratory Rate

  Detected using monitors (Hunt Leigh Healthcare /United Kingdom).

  Respiratory Rate measured at day (0) at after 2 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Group (A)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Consisted of twelve Preterm neonates

Other: reflex rolling technique

Group (B)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Consisted of twelve Preterm neonates

Other: lung squeezing technique
