N/A Respiratory failure. Intervention 1: In cases where the infants is planned to undergo suctioning without intervention, the researcher assistant performs this and the researcher only records the study variables. Intervention 2: In cases where the infant is planned to undergo suctioning with intervention, the researcher assistant carries out suctioning and the researcher implements the intervention. To implement facilitated tucking position , the infant is placed on his/her side, his/her back is gently bended, the legs are got up and flexed at an angle greater than 90 degrees, the shoulders are also constricted up to 90 degrees and the researcher hands are placed over the head close to the mouth or on the neonate’s face. The interval between suctioning without intervention and suctioning with intervention is at least two hours.
