Effect of different sleeping state and body positions on cardio-pulmonary function and development of preterm infants
2017
Objective
To explore the effect of different sleeping state and body position nursing on the surface temperature, heart and lung function, and development of premature infants.
Methods
A total of 160 cases of premature infants were selected as research objects, divided into active-prone group, active-supine group, quiet-prone group, quiet-supine groupwith random number tables. Each group on the basis of conventional nursing care was given the above position. Respiratory frequency (RR), heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO2), RR deviation, HR deviation and surface temperature were observed before and after nursing. After continuous nursing for 7 days, the differences of development indexes of each group were also observed.
Results
Surface temperature of forehead, right flank, right forearm, right leg were (36.4±0.2), (36.4±0.3), (35.6±0.3), (34.4±0.5) ℃ in group C, which were significantly higher than those in the other groups (F=2.89-3.31, P < 0.05). HR, RR, HR-deviation, RR-deviation and its change value in group C were (128.5±1.8) beats/min, (34.6±2.2) beats/min, (9.1±1.2)%, (212.5±31.5)%, which were significantly lower than those in the other groups (F=4.61-4.96, P < 0.05), and SpO2 change value was 0.027±0.001, which was significantly higher than those in the other groups (F=3.65, P < 0.05). Weight gain, the length growth, head circumference growth and upper arm around growth in group C and A in preterm infants after 7 days of continuous nursing were (118.6±6.3) g, (11.3±1.2) mm, (6.4±0.4) mm, (4.4±0.2) mm and (110.3±5.7) g, (11.0±1.1) mm, (6.0±0.5) mm, (4.2±0.3) mm, which were significantly better than (74.5±4.4) g, (6.9±0.8) mm, (4.5±0.7) mm, (3.2±0.2) mm of active-supine group and (78.6±4.9) g, (7.6±0.7) mm, (4.8±0.6) mm, (3.5±0.3) mm of quiet-supine group (F=3.57, 4.98, P < 0.05). And the above indicators of quiet-prone group were higher than that of active-prone group (P < 0.05).
Conclusions
The quiet-prone position can improve the heart and lung function and development of premature infants.
