Study Summary
The purpose of this research project is to ascertain the effectiveness of plastic head covering in prevention of hypothermia. Hypothermia is defined by body temperature \<36.5º Celsius by the World Health Organization. The surface area of the head is about 20% of total body surface of a newborn infant and is a major source of heat loss. The objective is to compare rectal temperature upon admission to the neonatal intensive care between preterm neonates who had stockinet head covering and those who had plastic-lined stockinet head covering placed in the delivery room. The investigators aim to demonstrate that plastic-lined head covering is more effective than stockinet head covering alone in maintaining body temperature.
Interventions
- OTHER placement of plastic cap during delivery room stabilization
- OTHER placement of routine cap during delivery room stabilization
