Abstract：Objective:To explore the effect of point percussion therapy on apnea in premature infants.Methods:A total of 146 cases of premature infants aged from 28 weeks to 33 weeks were enrolled in this study and randomly divided into intervention group(n=71)and control group(n=75).The patients in intervention group received point percussion therapy combined the treatment of conventional aminophylline,while the patients in control group received only conventional aminophylline.Results:The total oxygen time(5.44±3.10 days)and the num-ber of apnea(8.32±2.96 times)in the intervention group were lower than those in control group(6.84±4.02 days,10.52±4.98 times)(P<0.05).The average pain score of premature children in a course of point percus-sion therapy was 9.82,less than 12,indicating that point percussion therapy generally didn't cause pain in chil-dren.Conclusions:Point percussion therapy could reduce the total oxygen time and the incidence of apnea in chil-dren.
