Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Tissue oxygenation of brain. Timepoint: After every two hours of head positioning, tissue oxygenation of brain is recorded by the NIRS device.It should be noted that before the intervention, the tissue oxygenation of brain of each infant is measured and recorded within ten minutes to obtain the baseline value for each infant and compare with subsequent values. Method of measurement: NIRS device.
