Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Respiratory distress score. Timepoint: Before treatment and after treatment at intervals of 30 minutes, one hour, and four hours. Method of measurement: This system is a clinical tool for assessing the severity of respiratory distress in neonates. It evaluates five main indicators: grunting, nasal flaring, xiphoid retraction, lower chest retraction, and upper chest retraction.Method of measurement: Each indicator is evaluated by direct clinical observation of a trained physician or nurse, including the presence or absence of sounds such as grunting with a stethoscope, assessment of nasal wing movements, and observation and palpation of chest wall movements in different regions during inspiration and expiration.Scoring system: For each of the five indicators, the severity of findings is scored from 0 to 2.Score 0: No sign or normal condition (for example, no grunting, no retraction).Score 1: Mild or minimal finding (for example, grunting audible with stethoscope, slight retraction or nasal flaring).Score 2: Clear or severe finding (for example, grunting audible without stethoscope, marked nasal flaring, severe chest retraction with see-saw breathing).Final interpretation: The total score ranges from 0 to 10. Lower scores indicate mild or absent respiratory distress, while higher scores represent more severe distress requiring further intervention. | — |
