Neonatal Hypothermia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Efficacy of Low-cost Warming Mattress Celsi Warmer for the Management of Hypothermic Newborns at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital in Lagos, Nigeria
The prevalence of hypothermia across low-resource settings is high, especially in countries with high neonatal mortality rates. If left untreated, hypothermia can additionally result in a significant comorbidity, and has been linked to a reduction in the effectiveness of treatment for other newborn conditions. Effective thermal care for hypothermic newborns is not widely available in low-resource settings due to cost of consumables and spare parts. In this study, the research team wish to evaluate the efficacy of a novel neonatal warming mattress in treating hypothermic newborns. Warming mattress, 'Celsi Warmer', has been developed by Rice 360 Institute for Global Health Technologies, in conjunction with African clinicians, to be a robust, low-cost, and easy-to-use warming mattress which can address the challenges of hypothermia. This is a single-arm, non-randomized, prospective intervention study. Up to 90 eligible infants at the neonatal wards of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital will be recruited to evaluate the efficacy of Celsi Warmer in rewarming hypothermic newborns. Infants temperature will be monitored during thermal intervention and the performance of the device will be evaluated. The temperatures of each infant will be compared before, during, and after the intervention.
