Abstract
The purpose of the study is to identify criteria for successful transfer of stable preterm infants from an incubator to an open crib maintaining the thermoregulation within the acceptable range of axillary temperature between 36.50-37.20 C. All the infants will be diapered, dressed in a t-shirt, cap, and wrapped in blanket during the transfer process.
