Abstract In the last few years great attention was paid to the effect of changes in infant’s position other than the supine position during mechanicall ventilation. (Setten et al., 2016). Prone positioning has been shown to improve oxygenation in extremely low-birth infants with chronic lung disease and in neonates with respiratory failure. (Guérin et al., 2013). The present study was an experimental study which carried out on all neonates (in first 28 days of life) admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Zagazig University hospital .The present study was comparative study between two groups where cases selected randomly, group A included newborn infants using Ventilators in supine position and group B included newborn infants in supine position alternating with prone position. |
