Effect of Probe Placement in Delivery Room on Temperature at the Admission

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to compare the effect of 3 different skin temperature placement probe in the case room on the admission temperature to the NICU in preterm infants. The authors aim to evaluate which placement results in more preterm in the acceptable range (36.5-37 °C).

Clinical Trial Description

It's a prospective randomized trial conducted at Maisonneuve Rosemont Hospital, neonatal tertiary center located in Montreal with over 2600 annual deliveries. All pregnant women who are expecting to deliver a preterm infant with gestational between 28 and 35 6/7 weeks will be eligible to be enrolled into the study and informed consent is obtained.

Simple randomization is accomplished by opening a sealed pre-set envelope with group assignment before delivery.

Group 1: The probe is placed lateral from the spine, 1 cm above the intergluteal cleft, and in side position to the flank between the hips and the ribs.

Group 2: The probe is placed on the chest, 1 cm above the left nipple. Group 3: The probe is placed deep in the left axilla

At birth, all the preterm are immediately placed under a radiant warmer and resuscitated as per Neonatal resuscitation program (NRP) guidelines. Application of a skin temperature probe set at 36.5°C, for servo-controlled thermoregulation by 2 minutes of life. Probes will be fixed with an insulated reﬂective water-soluble gel probe.

No changes are made to the routine delivery room management and resuscitation for this study. After initial delivery room management, babies are transported in a heated radiant warmer (Panda) to the NICU.

In the delivery room, when the baby has a skin temperature servo-controlled stable at 36.5° C, the baby is ready to be transferred to NICU. All babies admitted to the NICU are routinely cared for by the attending neonatologist.

Data collection:

The temperature displaced on the servo controlled table is collected when the baby is the NICU just before transfer from the radiant table to the incubator.

The right axillary temperature will be taken by a thermometer. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
