Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this prospective observational pilot study is to apply the adhesive thermometer SteadyTemp® (SteadySense GmbH, Graz, Austria) in term neonates to monitor their body temperature non-invasively and continuously during skin-to-skin care with their mothers after Cesarean section and to compare these data with the one-time manual measurement of rectal body temperature as gold standard.
Detailed Description
Primary aim: To apply the adhesive thermometer SteadyTemp® (SteadySense GmbH, Graz, Austria) in term neonates in the right axillary area immediately after birth and to monitor their body temperature continuously during skin-to-skin care with their mothers after Cesarean section for 15 minutes. Secondary aim * To compare the body temperature with manually measured rectal temperature (single measurement). * To examine the skin condition under the adhesive patch after 15 minutes of application using the Neonatal Skin Condition Scale (NSCS)17.
