Clinical Performance of the Embrace Isothermal Mattress
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the performance of a new warming technology (Embrace Isothermal Mattress) during the thermal weaning of premature infants from incubators to open cribs. The investigators aim to study the Embrace Isothermal Mattress over a 24-hour period before the infant is transitioned out of the incubator.
