Bed surface transfers did not significantly alter preterm infant temperatures immediately after the move. However, infant temperatures were lower one hour post-transfer compared to baseline.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal care
  • Thermoregulation in preterm infants

Background:

  • Maintaining stable body temperature is critical for preterm infants.
  • Bed surface transfers are common in neonatal intensive care units.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate temperature fluctuations in preterm infants during bed surface transfers.
  • To assess the impact of transferring infants between surfaces like radiant warmers and incubators on their thermal stability.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive study design.
  • Convenience sample of 20 preterm infants (birth weight < 1,500 gm).
  • Monitored infant temperature stability following bed surface transfer from a radiant warmer to an incubator.

Main Results:

  • No significant immediate temperature differences were observed post-transfer.

  • Infant temperatures were notably lower one hour after the bed surface transfer compared to pre-transfer baseline measurements.

    • Conclusions:

    • While immediate temperature changes may not be significant, a delayed decrease in temperature occurs after bed surface transfers in preterm infants.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the clinical implications and optimal management strategies for temperature stability during these transfers.
