About the study
The objective of the study is to compare different supplemental incubator humidification strategies for infants \<25 weeks' gestation admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The study aims to compare higher (90%) and lower (70%) starting relative humidity (RH), as well as shorter (10 days) and longer (28 days) duration of humidity supplementation.
What is being tested
- Higher (90%) starting RH in the incubator with humidity supplementation stopped at day 10 (device)
- Lower (70%) starting RH in the incubator with humidity supplementation stopped at day 10 (device)
- Higher (90%) starting RH in the incubator with humidity supplementation stopped at day 28 (device)
- Lower (70%) starting RH in the incubator with humidity supplementation stopped at day 28 (device)
