Abstract

This study was designed to evaluate further the effect of prone positioning on oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and respiratory mechanics in spontaneously breathing infants with pneumonia. SpO₂ and respiratory mechanics were measured in the supine and prone positions in 17 infants. Prone positioning resulted in statistically significant increases in mean (± SD) SpO₂ (95.52 ± 2.87 to 98.00 ± 2.40%, p = 0.0002) and respiratory system compliance (5.99 ± 2.52 to 7.93 ± 4.30 ml/cmH₂O, p = 0.02). This suggests that prone positioning is another beneficial supportive measure for spontaneously breathing infants with pneumonia.
