The Effect of the Position Given to the Child After Weaning from Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation on Physiological Symptoms

The Effect of the Position Given to the Child After Weaning from Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation on Physiological Symptoms

The aim of this clinical trial was to investigate the effect of the position given to children after weaning from noninvasive mechanical ventilation on the physiological symptoms (heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate and blood pressure) of children aged six months to six years in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Between 6 months and 6 years of age
• Being monitored for respiratory diseases
• Weaning from noninvasive mechanical ventilation during the research process
• Body temperature within the normal range (36 centigrade-37,5 centigrade)
• Verbal and written consent to participate in the study given by their parents

Exclusion Criteria:

• Congenital anomaly
• Surgical intervention that prevents supine/prone positioning
• Development of pneumothorax during research
• Hypoxia during the research
