Abstract

Background: Preterm infants are a group of infants with a high risk of various health problems, especially respiratory disorders that can affect their oxygenation status and cardiorespiratory function. Body positioning of preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is one of the important interventions that can affect lung function and hemodynamic stability Purpose:  To determine the effect of body position on cardiorespiratory status in preterm infants. Method: This systematic review used the PICO search strategy.  The data sources used came from 3 databases namely Pubmed, ProQuest, and ScientDirect. Based on the database, 5 articles were obtained that met the inclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria include respondents are premature infants < 37 weeks gestational age, articles used in the last 10 years (2016 to 2026) and use English. Results: The study showed that position change interventions had a significant effect on the cardiorespiratory status of preterm infants. Pronation (prone) positioning and its variations, such as quarter prone positioning help maintain cardiorespiratory stability of preterm infants. However, there are certain indications and contraindications in the application of pronation position that need to be considered. Conclusion: Pronation and semi pronation positions have been shown to increase lung expansion, oxygen saturation, and decrease respiratory frequency and pulse rate, thus helping to maintain cardiorespiratory stability of preterm infants.
