Clinical Performance of the Embrace Isothermal Mattress
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01425086
Purpose
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the performance of a new warming technology
(Embrace Isothermal Mattress) during the thermal weaning of premature infants from incubators
to open cribs. The investigators aim to study the Embrace Isothermal Mattress over a 24-hour
period before the infant is transitioned out of the incubator.
