Plastic bag & cuddle care: a lifesaving combo for tiny babies?

NCT ID NCT03141736

Summary

This study aimed to see if a simple, low-cost method could prevent dangerously low body temperature in premature babies. It planned to test whether combining skin-to-skin 'kangaroo mother care' with placing the baby in a plastic bag was better than skin-to-skin care alone. The trial was designed for preterm infants born in hospitals with limited resources, but the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.
