The Effect of Kangaroo Care After Cardiac Surgery

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of kangaroo care on the vital signs of infants undergoing cardiac surgery. Hypothesis 1 (H1): Oxygen saturation levels of babies who are given kangaroo care are higher than babies who are not given kangaroo care. Hypothesis 2 (H2): The peak heart rate of infants who receive kangaroo care is lower than infants who do not receive kangaroo care. Hypothesis 3 (H3): The respiratory rate of infants who receive kangaroo care is lower than infants who do not receive kangaroo care. Hypothesis 4 (H4): The arterial blood pressure of infants who receive kangaroo care is lower than infants who do not receive kangaroo care. Hypothesis 5 (H5): The pain score of infants who received kangaroo care is lower than infants who did not receive kangaroo care.

Clinical Trial Description

Kangaroo care has been found to be a feasible intervention before and after cardiac surgery to support infants with congenital heart disease, but it has been stated that formal standards and procedures need to be developed to transform kangaroo care into practice. Skin-to-skin contact is a low-cost, low-risk intervention that supports comfort and contributes to physiological stability in infants before and after neonatal cardiac surgery. It positively affects the pain level of infants. Clinical studies on the application of kangaroo mother care on infants undergoing cardiac surgery are limited in the literature. ;
