Randomized Evaluation of the Use of Plastic Bags to Prevent Neonatal Hypothermia in Developing Countries-Part I
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Resuscitation-torso plastic bag and Resuscitation-partial-head plastic bag for Hypothermia and Immature Newborn. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 182 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overall hypothesis is that plastic bags used in combination with WHO thermoregulation care will reduce the incidence of hypothermia in preterm/low birth weight and full term infants when compared to routine WHO thermoregulation care alone. Part I is for preterm/low birth weight infant with or without plastic head cover used during resuscitation.
