Warming mothers during C-sections to prevent baby coldness
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether actively keeping mothers warm during planned C-sections helps prevent newborn babies from getting too cold right after birth. If you are having a planned C-section with spinal anesthesia, this simple extra warmth might benefit you and your baby.
