Saved by a plastic bag!

The surprising way to help premature babies! Hypothermia 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 very low birth weight infants reduces hypothermia by preventing heat loss, and is a low-cost, low-technology tool for resource-limited settings.
