Abstract

A project intended to prevent neonatal hypothermia through instant heated disposable (IHD) blanket was carried out in St. Paul"s Hospital. IHD blankets could potentially be an innovative and cost-effective thermal solution not only in hospitals but also out of hospitals such as during inter-hospital transfer for critically ill newborns.
