Incubator Weaning of Moderately Preterm Infants
Recruiting
I'm InterestedTrial ID: NCT02160002
Purpose
The objective of this proposal is to evaluate whether weaning from an incubator to a crib at
lower versus higher weight, 1600g or 1800g will result in shorter length of hospital stay
among moderately preterm infants.
The hypothesis of this study is that length of hospital stay (from birth to discharge) will
be decreased among moderate preterm infants weaned from an incubator to an open crib at a
lower versus higher weight, 1600g vs. 1800g.
