Summary

Background: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) or Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) is characterized by pulmonary insufficiency, in preterm neonates and is the major cause of death in preterm. Neurophysiological facilitation of Respiration (NFR) technique produce reflex respiratory movement response, as it involves application of external proprioceptive and tactile stimuli that is known to alter the rate and depth of breathing Aim: This study is being conducted to determine the effectiveness of NFR in preterm neonates diagnosed with RDS.

Methods: In this study 30 preterm (1- 8 days) neonates diagnosed with Respiratory Distress Syndrome will be taken and assigned into two groups,Experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=15). Neonates within eight days of birth those born before 37 weeks of gestation, diagnosed with RDS were included in the study. Neonate undergone recent surgery or congenital disorder, or medically unstable will be excluded.

Data analysis: Normality of the collected data will be analyzed with either two of the normality test i.e. Shapiro Wilk test and Kolmogorov Smirnov test based on sample size. Demographics characteristic of collected sample will be expressed in a mean standard deviation or median and range based normality. For Between group comparison Independent t test or Mann Whitney U test and for within group comparison paired t test or Wilcoxon singed ranked test will be used.
