The Effect of Position Change on Pain and Cerebral Oxygen Saturation

The Effect of Position Change on Pain and Cerebral Oxygen Saturation After Endotracheal Aspiration

This study is a randomized controlled experimental study to investigate the effect of position change on pain and cerebral oxygen saturation after endotracheal aspiration in pediatric patients.

This study is a randomized controlled experimental study to investigate the effect of position change on pain and cerebral oxygen saturation after endotracheal aspiration in pediatric patients. The study sample consisted of 70 pediatric patients (35 in the control group and 35 in the intervention group) who met the inclusion criteria and whose parents gave informed consent. The research data were collected using the "Child Identification Form" and the "Behavioral Pain Scale". SPSS 24 program was used to analyze the data obtained in the study. Children in the experimental group were given 30 minutes of wrapping and 30 minutes of fetal position after aspiration. Children in the control group did not receive any treatment.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Pediatric patients whose consent form is signed by their legal guardian
• Intubated pediatric patients receiving mechanical ventilation support
• Non-sedatized pediatric patients
• Pediatric patients who have received only paracetamol and whose duration of action has exceeded 4-6 hours

Exclusion Criteria:

• Unconscious pediatric patients
• Pediatric patients receiving pharmacologic drugs other than paracetamol
• Unstable pediatric patients
• Pediatric patients with painful procedures during the procedure
