Purpose: To evaluate the effects of 2 methods of thermal support provided by a hybrid incubator during routine care in the first week of life.
Methods: This descriptive, comparative study evaluates changes in temperature, humidity, heart rate, and oxygen saturation in the incubator versus radiant warmer (canopy) modes of hybrid warmers using data downloaded from the incubator and the monitor.
