Systematic review demonstrates swaddle bathing prevents temperature loss in preterm infants, suggesting enhanced care practices.
Swaddle bathing is a recommended intervention to prevent body temperature loss in preterm infants. Neonatal nurses are encouraged to integrate this technique as a standard practice in neonatal intensive care units and special care nurseries. Clinical implementation should ensure a bathing duration of 4-11 minutes, room temperature 24°C-28°C, relative humidity 50%-60%, and bathwater temperature 37°C-39°C to optimize thermoregulation. These findings highlight the importance of individualized care planning, incorporation of swaddle bathing into nursing protocols, and ongoing staff education to ensure consistency.
