Egypt40 participantsStarted 2022-12-01

Plain-language summary

Aim of the present study The present study will aimed to determine the effect of facilitated tucking position during endotracheal suctioning on physiological criteria and behavioural responses of the preterm neonates. Research Hypotheses 1. Preterm neonates who receive facilitated tucking position during endotracheal suctioning exhibit more stable physiological criteria than those who do not. 2. Preterm neonates who receive facilitated tucking position during endotracheal suctioning exhibit more stable behavioral responses than those who do not.

Inclusion Criteria: * Gestational age between 32 and 36 weeks, weight 1200 grams or greater. * Postnatal age: two days after delivery to allow for resolution of analgesia or anesthesia received by their mothers during labor. * Have endotracheal intubation. Exclusion Criteria: * Preterm neonates who have congenital anomalies or neurological malformations, intracranial hemorrhage, seizures. * Preterm neonates who received sedatives within four hours before the intervention * Preterm neonates who exposed to any uncomfortable procedure for at least 30 minutes prior to the intervention.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
