The Effect of Quarter Turn from Prone on Oxygen Saturation among Premature Babies with Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Abstract

<p>The rate of death and illnesses on premature babies is mostly respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Desaturated-period frequently occurs on premature babies with RDS. One intervention to prevent it is a quarter turn from prone position. The research design was pre-experimental study with one group pre- and post-test design. This study involved 20 respondents that were selected with consecutive sampling technique. The setting of the research was in Perinatology ward at Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo. The oxygen saturation was examined before and after 2 hours of intervention. Data was then analyzed with Wilcoxon test. The results showed that median value of SpO2 before quarter turn from prone position was 94%, and its value after two hours of intervention was 96.5%. It was found that there was a significant effect in giving quarter turn from prone position to oxygen saturation on premature babies with RDS. Quarter turn from prone position was able to increase oxygen saturation on premature babies with RDS and is possible to be implemented in perinatology room.</p>

Efektifitas Batuk Efektif pada Penderita Tuberculosis Paru

“…Posisi semifowler atau highfowler membantu pasien untuk berlatih batuk secara efektif dan menarik nafas dalam sehingga posisi semi atau high fowler memberikan kesempatan paruparu berkembang secara maksimal, batuk efektif mempermudah ekspektorasi mukus (Ekaputri et al, 2023). Posisi lainnya seperti prone juga dapat meningkatkan saturasi oksigen (Lestari et al, 2018). Berdasarkan penelitian tentang pengaruh batuk efektif untuk pengeluaran sputum pada pasien tuberculosis memang sangat berpengaruh, karena tindakan batuk efektif sangat efektif untuk pengeluaran sputum dan dapat membantu membersihkan sekret pada jalan nafas serta mampu mengatasi sesak nafas pada pasien TB paru (Tahir et al, 2019).…”
