Reflex Rolling Versus Lung Squeezing Techniques On Pulmonary Functions In Premature Neonate With Pneumonia

November 23, 2024 updated by: Delta University for Science and Technology
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
