Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Normal Newborns

• Registration Number: CTRI/2014/02/004437
• Lead Sponsor: Charutar Arogya Mandal

Brief Summary

·        Theproject is aimed to provide relevant statistics comparing the vitals of new-borns subjected to immediate skin-to-skin contact to that of new-borns received under servo-control warmer. The statistical data so obtained would help to understand the extent of influence that skin-to-skin contact has on physiological parameters of the new-born and whether this method employed immediately after birth impacts the physiological parameters significantly enough as compared to the conventional method of receiving the baby after birth. This information, in turn would guide doctors as to how effective is the immediate skin-to-skin contact method employed after birth of the baby as far as maintaining the vital physiological parameters are concerned and further modify appropriately, the mode of managing a new-born immediately after birth.
