Clinical trials: Hypothermia, Preterm Infants
Neonatal Hypothermia, Brown Adipose Tissue
Investigation of the Mechanisms of the Tendency to Hypothermia in Newborns and Premature Neonates
Newborns have thermoregulatory mechanisms that differ from those of adults. Instead of producing heat through shivering, newborns primarily rely on non-shivering thermogenesis by the brown adipose tissue.

- Neonatal Hypothermia, Brown Adipose Tissue, Preterm and Term Infants, Neonate
- Trial name
- NCT06803069
- Where
- 2 sites in Hungary
- Volunteers
- 100 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Respiratory Distress, Hypoglycemia
Observational Study of Infants Born at 34 to 37 Weeks of Gestation Until the Age of 1 Year
Late preterm infants are at an increased risk for short and long term morbidity (during the 1st year of life, their neurodevelopmental status may also be delayed as compared to infants born at term).
- Conditions
- Respiratory Distress, Hypoglycemia, Feeding Intolerance, Jaundice

Hypothermia, Newborn, Preterm Birth Complication
Umbilical or Peripheral Catheter Insertion for Preterm Infants on Admission to the NICU
Preterm infants are at risk of hypothermia following delivery and in the first few hours of life. Hypothermia in extremely low birth weight infants' is an independent risk factor for death.
