Summary

Objective: to evaluate the effect of right lateral positioning in comparison with supine positioning on tracheal aspirate pepsin levels as a marker of aspiration of gastric contents in ventilated preterm neonates. Study design: This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 60 ventilated preterm neonates \< 35 weeks. They were randomized into 2 groups; one group composed of 30 neonates that were nursed in right lateral position for 6 hours while the other group composed of 30 neonates that were nursed in supine position for 6 hours. Tracheal aspirate sample was obtained from each neonate in both groups just after the end of 6 hours and pepsin level was measured.
