Interventions
This is a randomized, controlled, single-blind clinical study with 30 premature newborns, followed up on admission to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, divided into 03 groups: Intervention Group 1 (GI
Intervention Group 2 (GI2) with 10 preterm infants in a heated crib without a heated blanket
Control Group (CG) with 10 preterm infants in a heated double-walled incubator. For data collection, a structured observation script will be used, containing the study variables, in addition to heatin

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the thermal blanket associated with the radiant heat cradle will be an additional resource in controlling the premature body temperature, verified through the measurement of the axillary temperature and continuous monitoring of the body temperature, analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests and analysis of variance (ANOVA), with a significance level of p<0.05. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary endpoint will be Oxygen Saturation (SatO2), Heart Rate (HR) and Respiratory Rate (RR). It is expected to find variations in the other vital functions of premature newborns, caused by excessive handling and interventions upon admission, verified through continuous monitoring, analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests and analysis of variance (ANOVA), with level of p<0.05 significance. | — |
