Summary

Preterm infants are at risk of hypothermia following delivery and in the first few hours of life. Hypothermia in extremely low birth weight infants' is an independent risk factor for death. These infants' are at additional risk of hypothermia when they undergo procedures such as central catheter insertion following admission.

The investigators think that in extremely preterm infants, placing a peripheral intravenous cannula on admission to the NICU, instead of umbilical catheters (UVC and/or UAC), will increase the proportion of infants with a rectal temperature in the normal range at 2 hours of life.
