Effects of Kinesiotaping on Respiratory Muscles in Very Preterm Infants

NCT06285669 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of kinesio taping on blood gas parameters, respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and pressure limits in preterm infants with RDS who are on NIV. It is hypothesized that the application of kinesio taping to the chest area of preterm infants may improve respiratory functions and oxygenation at the alveolar level, leading to decreased work of breathing, reduced respiratory rate, and improved neonatal stability by promoting respiratory mechanics and enhancing chest expansion.
