Effect of Physiotherapy Intervention on Improvement of Respiratory Function and Degree of Respiratory Distress Reduction in Neonates With Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Protocol for a Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), a common and serious illness in preterm infants, is characterized by lung immaturity and inadequate surfactant production. Even though improvements in neonatal care have increased survival rates, optimizing supportive therapies such as physiotherapy is still essential to improve respiratory outcomes and overall recovery.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy therapies in enhancing respiratory function and clinical outcomes in neonates with NRDS.

Methods

PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols) guidelines will be followed for conducting a systematic review. Studies assessing the effects of physiotherapy therapies on newborns with N
