Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Septicaemia contributes to neonatal mortality and morbidity, especially in preterm and low birth weight infants in developing countries. Plastic bags covering the trunk and extremities of preterm and very low birth weight infants reduces septicaemia. The objective was to determine if placing preterm and low birth weight infants inside a plastic bag at birth causes reduction of sepsis incidence.
