Use of a Novel Mathematical Model to Assess the Effectiveness of Skin-to-Skin Care for the Prevention of Hypothermia in Low-Birth-Weight Neonates

Use of a Novel Mathematical Model to Assess the Effectiveness of Skin-to-Skin Care for the Prevention of Hypothermia in Low-Birth-Weight Neonates

The effectiveness of skin-to-skin care (SSC) notably depends on the delivery room air temperature (T<sub>a</sub>), the thermal insulation provided by the fabrics or clothes covering the mother and the neonate (I<sub>cl</sub>), and the neonate’s metabolism (M). The objective o...
