Evaluation of Cerebral Oxygenation Results in Premature Infant

Summary

The general purpose of this project is; Evaluation of cerebral oxygenation results in premature infants.

These results will be evaluated in two different applications. The first practice and the first sub-aim of the study is to determine the effect of kangaroo care on cerebral oxygenation (rSO2) in premature infants.

The second application and purpose is to determine the effect of giving the infant the facilitated tucking position by hand and the nesting bed on the cerebral oxygenation (rSO2) of the infant during the heel blood collection process.

The study will be conducted between December 2020 and December 2021 at Level III NICU at the Medical Faculty Hospital in Konya.
