Summary

This is a prospective observational pilot study investigating if skin-to-skin care (SSC) has an influence on cerebral oxygenation and perfusion measured with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) compared to incubator care in ventilated preterm neonates on the first day after birth.

PROCEDURE

SSC

Incubator phase I: After feeding the neonates will be brought in a prone position in the incubator and the NIRS sensor will be applied on the forehead for continuous cStO2 measurements throughout the study period. The neonate will rest in this position for 60 minutes. SSC phase: The neonate will be brought on the mother's or father's chest (skin to skin) in a prone position and will stay in this position for 60 minutes. Incubator phase II: The neonates will be brought back into the incubator for another 60 minutes in prone position. After 180 minutes the study period is over and the NIRS sensor will be removed.
