Effect of Positioning on Work of Breathing and Oxygenation in Premature Infants at Discharge: A Prospective Observational Study

This is the first study to evaluate and compare discharge oxygen saturation and WOB indices in premature infants with and without BPD in the semi-reclined and supine position. Our findings demonstrate improved breathing parameters and a small clinically insignificant decrease in saturations in the semi-reclined position.

Abstract

This is the first study to evaluate and compare discharge oxygen saturation and WOB indices in premature infants with and without BPD in the semi-reclined and supine position. Our findings demonstrate improved breathing parameters and a small clinically insignificant decrease in saturations in the semi-reclined position.
