Conclusions
EVENTS
Propped and prone positioning should be considered by neonatal physicians and nurses caring for spontaneously breathing, late‐preterm infants with established enteral feeds, particularly those in whom respiratory events have been problematic. There does not appear to be evidence to support feed‐rate interventions in this group for this indication. Individual consideration must necessarily be given to infant factors, nursing cares, medical interventions and parental preference. Position interventions must also be balanced with safe sleeping considerations as infants approach hospital discharge. Although it is not feasible to maintain a single infant position for all cares and interventions, neonatal units might consider prioritisation of propped/prone positioning in developing infant care plans. Larger, multi‐centre studies are required to further evaluate this effect and permit further subgroup analyses.
