Abstract

Acute respiratory failure remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric patient in last few years. Great attention was paid to the effect of changes in pediatric patient position other than the supine position during mechanical ventilation. Respiratory tract infection is one of the major prevailing respiratory illnesses in pediatric population. Soft tissue manipulation and positioning have been recommended for several decades to have a positive effect on hemodynamic, better sleep-wake cycle, enhanced neuromotor development, reduced rate of nosocomial infection and thereby reduces mortality in hospitalized patient. There is no study done to date which has seen the combined effect of right and left lateral positioning and soft tissue manipulation on oxygen saturation (SaO₂) and hemodynamic parameters in Paediatric patients with respiratory failure. Hence to form an evidence-based protocol by combining positioning and soft tissue manipulation present study needed to be conducted.
