Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of trunk-to-head bathing on physiological responses in newborns.
To determine the effect of trunk-to-head bathing versus the traditional head-to-trunk bathing on newborns' body temperature, heart rate, and oxygen saturation. ⋯ These findings suggest that newborns who were bathed from trunk to head and whose heads were wet for shorter periods of time benefited with a more rapid recovery of body temperature and decreased heat loss due to evaporation.

Randomized Controlled TrialA randomized controlled trial to improve outcomes utilizing various warming techniques during cesarean birth.
To examine the effect of various warming methods during cesarean birth (CB) on maternal core body temperature, maternal hypothermia, and other maternal and neonatal outcomes. ⋯ This study adds information on ways to maintain maternal normothermia during surgery. By understanding maternal hypothermia during CB, nurses can use best practice to obtain optimal maternal and neonatal outcomes.
