Purpose: To create a thermal map of ambient air, radiant, and evaporative temperatures and humidity throughout the NICU nursery by season across a calendar year.
Subjects: Each cubicle of the 32-bed NICU, distributed across 5 rooms, in a level III nursery was measured.
Methods: Temperatures were recorded at a consistent time on one day during January, April, July, and October.
