Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Blood Pressure. Timepoint: Blood pressure will be recorded before and after 5 minutes of giving each intervention. Method of measurement: Blood Pressure will be recorded by using aneroid sphygmomanometer rate.;Oxygen Saturation. Timepoint: Oxygen Saturation will be recorded before and after 5 minutes of giving each intervention. Method of measurement: oxygen saturation will be measured using pulse oximeter.;Pulse Rate. Timepoint: Pulse rate will be recorded before and after 5 minutes of giving each intervention. Method of measurement: Pulse Rate will be recorded using pulse oximeter.
