Brief 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.
Detailed Description:
Very preterm infants are at high risk of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), due to surfactant deficiency and weak respiratory muscles. This condition can contribute to respiratory workload and irregular breathing. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Kinesio kinesio-taping technique on the respiratory muscles and diaphragm in very preterm infants undergoing non-invasive.
Twenty-six preterm infants born before the 32nd gestational week and requiring non-invasive ventilation (NIV) support due to RDS, were randomly divided into 2 groups as Kinesio taping group and control group. Kinesio taping was applied by a single physiotherapist to support the intercostal muscles,and, the diaphragm and facilitatory method was used on the respiratory muscles. Kinesio taping was removed just after preterm infants were weaned from noninvasive ventilation. Blood gas parameters, respiratory rate, heart rate, FiO2, FiO2/pO2 ratio, PIP, PEEP values, and length of stay in NIV were recorded before and after 3 days of KT application.
