Humidity in Incubators for Tiny Infants
Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
Summary
The objective of the study is to compare different supplemental incubator humidification strategies for infants \<25 weeks' gestation admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The study aims to compare higher (90%) and lower (70%) starting relative humidity (RH), as well as shorter (10 days) and longer (28 days) duration of humidity supplementation.

Interventions
Higher (90%) starting RH in the incubator with humidity supplementation stopped at day 10
Infants will be provided usual delivery room care and then placed in an incubator on admission to the NICU, receiving starting relative humidity (RH) of 90% in the incubator with humidity supplementation stopped at day 10.
Lower (70%) starting RH in the incubator with humidity supplementation stopped at day 10
Infants will be provided usual delivery room care and then placed in an incubator on admission to the NICU, receiving starting relative humidity (RH) of 70% in the incubator with humidity supplementation stopped at day 10.
Higher (90%) starting RH in the incubator with humidity supplementation stopped at day 28
Infants will be provided usual delivery room care and then placed in an incubator on admission to the NICU, receiving starting relative humidity (RH) of 90% in the incubator with humidity supplementation stopped at day 28.
Lower (70%) starting RH in the incubator with humidity supplementation stopped at day 28
Infants will be provided usual delivery room care and then placed in an incubator on admission to the NICU, receiving starting relative humidity (RH) of 70% in the incubator with humidity supplementation stopped at day 28.
