Reflex Rolling Versus Lung Squeezing Techniques On Pulmonary Functions In Premature Neonate With Pneumonia

Respiratory problems in neonates are one of the leading causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries. These respiratory problems are seen in premature neonates, which mainly include respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), pneumonia, requiring ventilatory assistance or oxygen support
