Clinical Trial Summary

- To study the vital sign ,oxygen arterial saturation of preterm babies provided skin to skin contact versus conventional care from birth to discharge

Description:

The mother and baby will be supported by a nurse and researcher. Hence, the study group mothers will be trained properly, and the required information and explanations along with displaying the video description about the KMC method will be provided for them, and the KMC will apply to their newborns. Thus, the naked newborn, only wearing diaper and cap, was placed in a straight state between the mother's breasts and supported by a cloth bag. The caring is performed for 3 consecutive days, three times a day and each time for 2-h. The procedure will be conducted for all samples by the head nurse and with the researcher's presence and monitoring in the morning shift, and the mothers should be supported and encouraged during the caring process. The changes in pulse ,respiration, temperature, and arterial oxygen saturation rate of the study group is controlled and recorded during the care process, at 60 min after starting the procedure and at the end of caring process before returning the newborn to the incubator. The mentioned items in the control group (conventional incubator care) should also measure and recorded simultaneously with the study group. The pulse oximetry in NICU used to measure the arterial oxygen saturation rate, and a mercury thermometer was used to measure the temperature with an auxiliary approach for 3 min. To maintain the reliability of the instrument during the research, the same pulse oximetry device and monitoring system will be applied to newborns in the same situation. The pulse oximetry probe will be taped to the toe of the left foot of all newborns
