Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Numerical rating scale score Behavioural response score Haemodynamic fluctuations of 20% from baselineTimepoint: Baseline, at one minute interval for five minutes starting from the point of tracheal suctioning and at 10th and 15th minute following tracheal suctioning. Behavioural response and numerical rating was assessed just prior to tracheal suctioning and in the following minute after tracheal suctioning | — |
