Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Vital signs include: temperature using a portable incubator probe to measure the incubator temperature and using a digital thermometer to measure the baby's axillary body temperature. Arterial oxygen saturation (O2 Sat) using a pulse oximetry probe attached to the baby's arm or leg and measuring the percentage of oxygen in the arterial blood .Blood pressure refers to the use of a baby blood pressure cuff. The heart monitoring device is attached to the baby's right arm and measured. Respiratory rate refers to the number of baby's breaths, which is counted by counting the movement of the abdomen up and down in one minute. Heart rate refers to the number of times the baby's heart beats, which is counted in one minute using a stethoscope on the left side of the chest. Pain symptoms, stress symptoms. Timepoint: Before the intervention and 10 to 15 minutes after the intervention is completed. Method of measurement: Vital signs measurement tools: digital temperature, mercury sphygmomanometer, stethoscope, pain questionnaire, stress questionnaire.	—
