The investigator hypothesizes that inserting an InnerSense oral gastric tube (Philips Healthcare) with its imbedded thermistor and attaching the tube to a temperature monitor with a digital temperature display will enable care-providers to monitor continuous body temperature and prompt them to provide warmth and prevent heat loss, thus preventing hypothermia in these infants for the first 24 hours of life. The investigator predicts infants in the intervention group will have warmer axillary temperatures upon admission to the NICU and at 1, 4, and 8 hours of age. Mothers in non-active labor will be sought for consent to enroll their VLBW infant into this study after the infant's birth. 160 VLBW infants and other low birth weight infants 1000-2000 grams will be randomized to the intervention group (placement of InnerSense oral gastric tube with thermistor to a Squirrel monitor for continuous digital temperature display, immediately after birth through 24 hours of life) or the control group (standard delivery room care and stabilization care). The study staff plans to enroll 180 infants (90 per group) to allow for screen failures. Axillary temperatures of all infants will be recorded at NICU admission, 1, 4, 8 and 24 hours of age. Further, the study staff intends to enroll approximately 300 Intensive Care Nursery providers who care for an InnerSense study infant and wish to complete a provider satisfaction survey. These providers will be asked to provide consent prior to completing the survey and their names will be recorded on a separate study enrollment log.
