Regional oxygenation, perfusion and body and/or head position: Are preterm infants adversely impacted? A systematic review
2022, Paediatric Respiratory ReviewsCitation Excerpt :In NICUs, infants are positioned either prone, quarter prone, supine or side lying. Studies in the 1970 s found that preterm infants had better oxygenation when positioned prone [6,7]. Studies over the past four decades have reported additional benefits of the prone, quarter prone and/or side lying positions as compared to the supine position.

2015, Molecular Genetics and MetabolismCitation Excerpt :The breaths were collected from a long epoch (2–4 min). Measurements were recorded over time at the airway opening using a pneumotachometer via face mask; mask integrity was monitored for leaks (less than 10% tidal volume change throughout each breath) and a constant tidal volume breathing frequency history was observed for at least 10 breaths [25–27]. Airflow was measured with a low dead space volume pneumotachometer and integrated pressure transducer.
Positioning effects on lung function and breathing pattern in premature newborns
2013, Journal of PediatricsCerebral and mesenteric tissue oxygenation by positional changes in very low birth weight premature infants
2012, Early Human DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :There were no statistically significant differences before and after feeding in each position. The studies performed about the safe position of a newborn are limited in the literature and there has been no clear consensus of the appropriate positioning [15,16]. Heimler et al. [4] undertook a study to examine the influence of position on the breathing patterns and apnea of preterm infants between 32 and 36 week gestation, by using a pneumogram and concluded an increase in central apnea in the supine position compared with the prone position.
