The Effect of Bed Head Height During Feeding With Orogastric Catheter on Neonatal Growth

Aim:The study was planned as a randomised controlled experimental study to determine the effect of bed head height applied during feeding with orogastric catheter on growth parameters and feeding tolerance of preterm newborns. Method: The study was a randomised controlled experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of 96 newbornMethod: The study was a randomised controlled experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of 96 preterm newborns (control: 32, Group with 30° Bed Head Height: 32, Group with 45° Bed Head Height: 32) ). Data Collection Form was used as a data collection tool. The head of the newborns in the intervention group will be raised before the orogastric catheter is inserted, and the children in the control group will be routinely positioned. In this process, physiological parameters of newborns before and after positioning will be followed.
