# Facilitated Tucking Position During Endotracheal Suctioning

**Official Title:** The Effect of Facilitated Tucking Position During Endotracheal Suctioning on Physiological Measurement and Behavioral Responses of the Preterm Neonates

**NCT ID:** [NCT06428916](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06428916)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** COMPLETED
- **Phase:** NA
- **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 40
- **Lead Sponsor:** Kafrelsheikh University
- **Conditions:** Respiratory Distress Syndrome
- **Start Date:** 2022-12-01
- **Completion Date:** 2023-07-30
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2024-05-24

## Brief Summary

Aim of the present study The present study will aimed to determine the effect of facilitated tucking position during endotracheal suctioning on physiological criteria and behavioural responses of the preterm neonates.

Research Hypotheses

1. Preterm neonates who receive facilitated tucking position during endotracheal suctioning exhibit more stable physiological criteria than those who do not.
2. Preterm neonates who receive facilitated tucking position during endotracheal suctioning exhibit more stable behavioral responses than those who do not.

## Eligibility

- **Minimum age:** 32 Weeks
- **Maximum age:** 36 Weeks
- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** Yes

```
Inclusion Criteria:

* Gestational age between 32 and 36 weeks, weight 1200 grams or greater.
* Postnatal age: two days after delivery to allow for resolution of analgesia or anesthesia received by their mothers during labor.
* Have endotracheal intubation.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Preterm neonates who have congenital anomalies or neurological malformations, intracranial hemorrhage, seizures.
* Preterm neonates who received sedatives within four hours before the intervention
* Preterm neonates who exposed to any uncomfortable procedure for at least 30 minutes prior to the intervention.
```

## Arms

- **Study Group** (EXPERIMENTAL) — Consisted of 20 neonates who will receive tucking position during endotracheal suctioning
- **Control group** (NO_INTERVENTION) — Consisted of 20 neonates who will receive routine care during Endotracheal suctioning

## Interventions

- **tucking position during endotracheal suctioning** (PROCEDURE) — , the staff nurse will perform the endotracheal suctioning while the researcher will carried out the intervention

## Primary Outcomes

- **Change from baseline of heart rate of preterm neonates on Neonates' Physiological Assessment Tool during and immediately following the endotracheal suction procedure** _(time frame: during procedural and immediately after procedure)_ — Neonates' Physiological Assessment Tool was developed by researchers after a review of relevant literature to assess Physiological Parameters of preterm neonates as Heart Rate (HR)
- **Change from baseline of Respiratory Rate of preterm neonates on Neonates' Physiological Assessment Tool during and immediately following the endotracheal suction procedure** _(time frame: during procedural and immediately after procedure)_ — Neonates' Physiological Assessment Tool was developed by researchers after a review of relevant literature to assess Physiological Parameters of preterm neonates as Respiratory Rate (RR)
- **Change from baseline of oxygen saturation in blood of preterm neonates on Neonates' Physiological Assessment Tool during and immediately following the endotracheal suction procedure** _(time frame: during procedural and immediately after procedure)_ — Neonates' Physiological Assessment Tool was developed by researchers after a review of relevant literature to assess Physiological Parameters of preterm neonates as oxygen saturation in blood(SPO2)

## Secondary Outcomes

- **change of baseline of Neonates' behavioral states on Anderson Behavioral State Scale during and immediately following the endotracheal suction procedure** _(time frame: during procedural and immediately after procedure)_
