The Effect of Using Multifunctional Baby Carrier With Heart Surgery

The study aims to investigate the effect of using a multifunctional baby carrier with rocking, safe swaddling, and white noise features on physiological parameters, crying, and sleep status in infants aged 0-3 months who have undergone congenital heart surgery. It is planned to be conducted in a randomized controlled crossover design. Following congenital heart surgery, the use of sedative interventions in the high-stress environment of the intensive care unit has a significant effect on preserving the energy reserves necessary for the infant's growth and development. Using a sensitive and soothing mobile crib to assist in the postoperative care of infants who have undergone congenital heart surgery is a potential opportunity for the infant, nurse, and parent. The combined application of swaddling, sound, and movement reduces the baby's fussiness and has a calming effect on their physiological activation.

Infants who underwent heart surgery between 0-3 months and were followed up in a multi-purpose baby carrier (swaddling, white noise, and rocking) compared to infants in the follow-up experimental group, compared to infants in the control group who were only swaddled;

Hypothesis 1: The heart rate is lower. Hypothesis 2: Blood pressure is lower. Hypothesis 3: Oxygen saturation levels are higher. Hypothesis 4: Sleep durations are longer. Hypothesis 5: Pain scores are lower.
