Abstrakt:	Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), a severe respiratory illness that is likely to affect preterm newborns especially those who were born preterm with low birth weight (LBW) or multiple births, is one of the complications that preterm babies are likely to develop. Physical Rehabilitation using Oromotor Stimulation, Manual Airway Clearance Technique, Positioning, and Tactile and Kinaesthetic Stimulations (PROMPT) is the intervention followed in this study to determine its effectiveness in the treatment of RDS in LBW triplets. The PROMPT protocol involves interventions such as manually promoting the airway, positioning, oral motor stimulation, and tactile and kinesthetic stimulation. The study examined triplets of similar weight, 1.23g, 1.36g, and 1.18g, at birth. Thus, all known triplets were suffering from the symptoms of RDS like fast breathing and grunting. They were born via premature delivery at 30+5 weeks of pregnancy. Chest X-rays were used as a diagnostic tool for assessing RDS. At the same time, the PROMPT protocol was administered and significant improvements were seen in respiratory health and there was reduced use of mechanical ventilation. The PROMPT protocol shows how effectively an organized method can be applied to treat RDS in LBW triplets.
