Conditions

Premature Newborn NCPAP hospitalized in NICU. Respiratory distress syndrome of newborn

Interventions

Intervention 1: In premature infants treated with NCPAP initially Respiratory Rate (RR), heart rate (HR), Fraction of Inspired oxygen (FIO2) and arterial oxygen saturation (SatO2), blood pressure (BP)

Treatment - Drugs

Control group (routine care without massage) also were measured respiration rate, heart rate, blood pressure and temperature, and oxygen saturation concentration in the same time.

In premature infants treated with NCPAP initially Respiratory Rate (RR), heart rate (HR), Fraction of Inspired oxygen (FIO2) and arterial oxygen saturation (SatO2), blood pressure (BP) and body temper

Intervention group 2 (massage with coconut oil) 10 ml oil per kg birth weight is used. Massage therapy is done by the researcher (NICU student) with modify Weiss method in accordance with the conditio
