Total Body Polyethylene Wraps for Preventing Hypothermia in Preterm Infants: A Randomized Trial

Objective To evaluate whether a polyethylene total body wrapping (covering both the body and head) is more effective than conventional treatment (covering up to the shoulders) in reducing perinatal thermal losses in very preterm infants. Study design This was a multicenter, prospective, randomized,...
