Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Neonatal
* A trained study nurse or clinician will transfer the enrolled participant to the study location and place the infant on the Celsi Warmer mattress.
* A trained study nurse or clinician will attach the Celsi Warmer temperature sensor to the abdomen and secure it with the abdominal belt according to the device's instruction manual
* A trained study nurse or clinician will wrap the baby according to the standard care at the hospital.
* Study personnel may observe the participant during the intervention period and annotate timestamped events that might affect temperature measurement and/or thermoregulation support intervention.
* Study personnel will perform routine abdominal skin assessments as often as every two hours and at least every 8 hours to observe for skin irritation or indentation.
* Thermoregulation support intervention will be provided as long as the infant continues to meet criteria for continued care at clinician's discretion.
Celsi Warmer
During the study, research participants will receive thermal care via the Celsi Warmer. Aside from thermal treatment, research participants will receive the standard of care from the neonatal unit, and will also be closely monitored by study personnel throughout the study. The results from this study will allow the research team to determine if the Celsi Warmer is an effective tool for warming and monitoring newborns in wards of low-resource hospitals. The research team hopes to demonstrate that the Celsi Warmer is effective for the appropriate treatment of newborn hypothermia in hospitals in low-resource settings.
