This 2017 Indian pilot study tested the heat insulating property of sandwiched sheets.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>At birth, we randomised 100 neonates who were more than 32 weeks of gestation and needed neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) observation or care without a ventilator or bilevel positive airway pressure support into two groups of 50. The intervention and control groups were wrapped in two prewarmed sheets at birth that did or did not contain a layer of newspaper. Their axillary temperatures on arrival at the NICU and one hour after arrival were measured. Other environmental factors were similar.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The neonates wrapped in the sandwiched sheets showed significantly higher temperatures on arrival at the NICU than the control group (35.9\u00b0C versus 35.4\u00b0C, p &lt; 0.01) and after one hour (36.5\u00b0C versus 36.3\u00b0C, p &lt; 0.01).
