SOon HOme Study About Preterm Infants
Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS
Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial without medication neither device (for procedure) is to compare the average length of hospital stay of infants weaned from the incubator at a weight greater than or equal to 1400 grams versus infants weaned at a weight greater than or equal to 1600 grams. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is it possible to reduce the average hospital stay in the early weaning group compared with the standard weaning group? * Is this procedure safe and without adverse outcomes between the two groups during the hospital stay and during the first week after discharge?

Weaning from the incubator to open coat at a weight greater than or equal to 1400 grams
They will be dressed in a woolen hat and dress, wrapped in a blanket and placed in crib with preheated mattress.Vital signs will be monitored daily.Axillary temperature will be measured every 3 hours for the first 12 hours, if above or equal to 36.5°C it will be measured every 6 hours for the next 36 hours. If normothermia for 48 hours, the preheated mattress will be turned off and temperature monitoring will be continued every 3 hours for 24 hours.If greater than or equal to 36.5°C, thermal control will be continued every 8 hours for 48 hours, at the end of which time, if normothermic, care will be confirmed.If not it will be placed back in the crib with heated mattress.If temperature still below 36.5°C, an additional blanket will be placed and it will be rechecked after 2 hours.If it remains below 36.5°C, the infant will be placed under a radiant lamp and the temperature will be checked after 3 hours.If hypothermia persists, the infant will be transferred back to the incubator.
