Abstract

Background: This experiment study aimed to compare the effect of positioning on oxygen saturation in premature infants. This study was a quasi-experimental research.

Objective: The aim of compare the effect of positioning on oxygen saturation in premature infants who were admitted to neonatal intensive care unit.

Material and methods: Base on the inclusion criteria. 27 babies of gestational age less than 37 weeks were eligible for entry in to study. Infants were studied in 3 position between supine, side-lying and prone positions. Each of them was initially kept in supine 5 minutes for prepare then kept First position in supine for 120 minutes after 5 min for rest. Then in side-lying and prone positions, respestively. During this period, SpO₂ parameters were record every 30 min and data were analyze. Statistical analysis used were descriptive, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Shapiro-Wilk and Friedman Test.

Result: The result showed that were significant differences in SpO₂ in supine, side-lying and prone positions p-value = .049 and were significant differences in SpO₂ in supine, side-lying positions at 30 min p-value= .016. However, the Average of SpO₂ in prone position is highest in all three positions (97.82, SD=1.63).

Conclusion: The prone position most effectively promotes arterial oxygen saturation and is appropriate for the care of preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit.
