U.S., April 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07522892) titled 'Physiological Safety and Behavioral Comfort of Swaddle Bathing in Preterm Infants' on March 30.
Brief Summary: Background and Purpose: Bathing is a routine but essential part of care for preterm infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). However, traditional tub bathing can be a significant source of stress for these vulnerable infants, potentially leading to fluctuations in body temperature, heart rate, and oxygen levels.
