A prospective randomized control trial will be conducted in Parkland Memorial Hospital (PMH) neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) Dallas, Texas. Consent will not be obtained since: placement of plastic and/or stockinet head covering on the neonate is part of routine resuscitation care at PMH and by Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) minimal risk to the preterm neonate is involved, post-delivery consent will be of little value since intervention only last ~24minutes, and obtaining informed consent from a mother who has labor pains or is on pain medication may be difficult.
