No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a multicenter, unblinded, randomized controlled trial comparing drying vs. not drying before plastic wrapping for the thermoregulation of very preterm infants at birth. The aim of this study will be to compare two modes of thermal management (plastic wrapping with or without drying) for preventing heat loss at birth in very preterm infants.

Conditions

  • Temperature Regulation; Disorder, Fetus or Newborn

Interventions

OTHER

Drying before wrapping

Immediately after birth, the infant's body will be dried before wrapping in a plastic bag

OTHER

No drying before wrapping

Immediately after birth, the infant will be put in a plastic bag without wrapping
