- Radiation: Weaning incubator (heat) at an lower postnatal weight
- Registration Number
- NCT06230172
- Lead Sponsor
- Augusta University
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of weaning from the incubator at a lower post-natal weight at 1600 grams. Our hypothesis is that early weaning from the incubator to a crib/bassinet is safe and may result in a decrease in length of hospital stay while maintaining appropriate growth velocity. Specific outcomes the investigators will evaluate are the length of hospital stay and growth velocity at early weaning.
