Overview

Brief Summary

Respiratory problems in neonates are one of the leading causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries. These respiratory problems are seen in premature neonates, which mainly include respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), pneumonia, requiring ventilatory assistance or oxygen support

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to compare between the effect of reflex rolling and lung squeezing techniques on pulmonary functions in premature neonates with pneumonia.
