On this task force, we got together articles that we found on thermo reg in neonates. One we found has a case study of 25 week twins that we placed on a warmer mattress of some kind, I can't remember what, that had a lower heating point than the Drager transwarmer mattresses. They both suffered full thickness 3rd degree burns and had to have skin grafts. I work with an uber conservative group on Neos and they just don't want to risk it. I WISH we could use these all the time!!! They worked great when we trialed them! Everyone on here is so knowledgeable! Thanks for your input!

We use a newer type of mask/prong set up that uses straps for headgear so you can still start scalp IVs if needed. It's great! The masks and the prongs are made from a very flexible and soft material. The company is called AirLife. The set ups are compatible with both of our CPAP set ups that we have

Thanks for all the input. We use neowrap on all babies born I think our biggest battle is being fought with L&D. They keep turning down the temps in the rooms to like in the 60s! When rooms should be set at 77. So, our Neo group and this task force is meeting with L&D and all the OBs next week to try and educate them on neonatal hypothermia. Ugh! What a mess. I'm glad this has just started happening and we caught it early enough and are heading it off at the pass. Thanks for all your input!

Hey Everyone, I am currently working on a task force to raise our admission temperatures in our babies born So, I was wondering what your NICU does for hats in the delivery room for your high risk babies. Any input would be great!! There's really no good info out there! Thanks!
