Cold stress is potentially life-threatening to a 600-g neonate. The risk of cold stress is increased during the admission process, when a neonate is transferred from a labor and delivery suite to a patient care unit. At one perinatal center, staff nurses devised a quality improvement plan to assess and reduce the risk of cold stress to patients admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit.
