iKMC Film 4 - Temperature Control
The primary purpose of incubators is to keep babies warm. But research has shown this can be done better in skin to skin contact with the mother, father or another relative. Preterm babies really struggle to maintain a constant temperature and hypothermia is a major cause of death. This film explains the evidence and the benefits of KMC for better temperature control.
