Interventions
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.
