NCT ID NCT07579013

First seen May 12, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether adding a gentle chest squeezing technique to standard postural drainage can immediately improve oxygen levels and reduce breathing difficulty in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. Fourteen preterm babies born by C-section will be randomly assigned to receive either postural drainage alone or postural drainage plus chest squeezing. The goal is to find a simple, non-drug way to help these infants breathe easier.
