Effect of Thermoregulation Bundle Applied at Birth on Neonatal Physiological Parameters and Breastfeeding
Sponsor: Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa
Summary
Maintaining the infant's body temperature (thermoregulation), particularly in the first hour after birth, is critical for the newborn's survival and adaptation to the environment. It is hypothesized that the implementation of a thermoregulation bundle will lead to a faster stabilization of physiological parameters and will positively influence the initiation and overall success of breastfeeding. To this end, this study will examine the effects of a thermoregulation bundle applied at birth on the physiological parameters of newborns (vital signs such as body temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, and oxygen saturation) and its impact on breastfeeding.

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.
