Effect of Thermoregulation Bundle Applied at Birth on Neonatal Physiological Parameters and Breastfeeding
Sponsor: Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa
Summary
Maintaining neonatal body temperature (thermoregulation), particularly during the first hour after birth, is critical for survival and successful adaptation to the extrauterine environment. Implementation of a thermoregulation bundle is expected to facilitate faster stabilization of physiological parameters and to positively influence the initiation of breastfeeding as well as overall breastfeeding success. The effects of a thermoregulation bundle applied at birth on neonatal physiological parameters-including body temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, and oxygen saturation-and on breastfeeding outcomes will be evaluated.

Interventions
Thermoregulation bundle
A structured set of evidence-based thermal care interventions applied immediately after birth, including maintaining appropriate delivery room temperature, immediate drying with warm linens, removal of wet towels, application of a hat, early skin-to-skin contact for the first hour, and covering the newborn with a warm blanket. The bundle is implemented using an all-or-nothing approach.
routine care
Standard delivery room care according to institutional protocol.
