A comparison of supine and prone positioning on improves arterial oxygenation in premature neonates

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity in premature newborns. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of body position on oxygen saturation in hospitalized premature infants with RDS. METHODS: From June 2010 to December 2012, 69 premature infants with RDS were evaluated in an interventional analytic study. Patients had a mean gestational age (±SD) of 31.4 (±2.41) weeks (range: 28-35 weeks) with a mean birth weight (±SD) of 1446.6… Show more

“…In their research, oxygen saturation and FRC were higher in prone group with mean difference was 2.1%. Another study by Eghbalian (2014) proved that oxygen saturation was higher in prone compare to that in supine with mean difference was 1.3%.…”

“…But mechanical ventilation, like other treatments, is not damage-free and can cause short and long term side effects (12). Some of these complications can be tracked and some others can be minimized by taking appropriate measures (10,14,21). Although, the recognition of clinical risk factors in early stages can improve the prognosis (12), severe neonatal diseases with high morbidity and mortality rate, can affect myocardial function with different mechanisms (8,11,20,22).…”

“…This process can be complicated by severe congenital (2,3) and systemic diseases (4)(5)(6)(7). In advanced stages of some systemic diseases such as asphyxia and sepsis, in neonatal period, cardiac dysfunction has been documented and in other patients exposed to hypoxia because of severe respiratory distress, degrees of myocardial damage has been observed (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). In addition to echocardiography that plays an important role in the diagnosis of myocardial dysfunction (14), the use of cardiac biomarkers can improve early diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction and helps timely applying of supportive care (15)(16)(17).…”

“…2 12 13 Studies have revealed that prone positioning effectively improves oxygenation. [14][15][16] When a premature infant is in the prone position, lung expansion occurs in the dorsal lung region and lung volume increases because compression of dorsal lung tissue by abdominal contents and the heart decreases. [17][18][19] A study showed that the dynamic elevation of end-expiratory lung volume decreased in the prone position; thus, providing additional evidence supporting this view earlier stated.…”

“…Avoiding invasive mechanical ventilation, minimising excessive oxygen administration, preventing infection and early extubation are important strategies to prevent BPD 2 12 13. Studies have revealed that prone positioning effectively improves oxygenation 14–16. When a premature infant is in the prone position, lung expansion occurs in the dorsal lung region and lung volume increases because compression of dorsal lung tissue by abdominal contents and the heart decreases 17–19.…”
