Effect of Earmuffs on Physiological Parameters of Preterm Neonates Nursed in Incubators: A Before-and-After Study
Abstract
ObjectiveTo determine the effect of earmuffs on stability of physiological parameters i.e. heart rate, respiratory rate, and oximeter saturation (SpO2) in preterm neonates.MethodsNon-randomized, cross-over study. 60 stable preterm neonates observed without and with earmuffs for 2 hours each (control and intervention periods, respectively). The above parameters were recorded every 60 seconds. Spikes of parameters and fluctuation [by coefficient …
