      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Simple randomization as follows: Based on the number of patients in each group, the particular sort of treatment (routine chest physiotherapy group or expiratory techniques with routine chest physiotherapy group) is written on a piece of paper. Each paper is placed in a sealed envelope. One envelope will be chosen randomly by the therapist at the first session of the patient treatment and the patient's treatment technique is selected based on that .If any of the patients is omitted from the study, one envelope related to the excluded patient treatment group will be replaced and they will mixed again.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Respiratory distress syndrome of newborn.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: A group are the neonatals diagnosed with respiratory distress syndrome who will be admitted and intubated in the neonatal intensive care unit of Afzalipour hospital in Kerman will be examined if they meet the conditions for entering the study. Diagnosis of the syndrome is based on history, examination and clinical symptoms including respiratory rate, breathing pattern, paraclinical including arterial blood gases, (ABG) radiology and also the use of ventilator by the doctor. First, the work steps are fully will be explained to the families of premature newborns, and the consent form and questionnaire will be completed by their families. Then the newborns are randomly placed in this group and routine physiotherapy techniques including chest vibration, percussion, pastural drainage and exhalation techniques including prolonged slow expiratory, expiratory flow increased, lung squeezing technique and vojta twice a day with a time interval of eight hours, five days while the patient's stomach is empty one hour before to prevent aspiration, it will be done in two shifts in the morning and in the evening according to the doctor's order. The evaluated variables will be recorded before doing the physiotherapy and then fifteen minutes after doing the respiratory physiotherapy, which is displayed by the ventilator device. Intervention 2: Routine group: B group are the neonatals diagnosed with respiratory distress syndrome who will be admitted and intubated in the neonatal intensive care unit of Afzalipour hospital in Kerman will be examined if they meet the conditions for entering the study. Diagnosis of the syndrome is based on history, examination and clinical symptoms including respiratory rate, breathing pattern, paraclinical including arterial blood gases (ABG), radiology and also the use of ventilator by the doctor. First, the work steps fully will be explained to the families of premature newborns, and the consent form and questionnaire will be completed by their families. Then the newborns are randomly placed in this group with routine physiotherapy techniques including: chest vibration, percussion and postural drainage on them twice a day with a time interval of eight hours, five days while the patient's stomach is empty one hour before to prevent aspiration, it will be done in two shifts in the morning and in the evening according to the doctor's order. The evaluated variables will be recorded before doing the physiotherapy and then fifteen minutes after doing the respiratory physiotherapy, which is displayed by the ventilator device.</i_freetext>
