Comparison of mean body temperature (°C) at four consecutive instances in preintervention and postintervention patients
| Mean temperature (°C) | Group A | Group B | P value |
| t0 | 36.9±0.4 | 36.9±0.3 | 0.95 |
| t1 | 35.4±0.9 | 36.4±0.6 | 0.007* |
| t2 | 36.8±1.5 | 37.0±0.5 | 0.46 |
| t3 | 36.5±1.2 | 36.9±0.4 | 0.26 |
t0: baseline temperature at the NICU before transport; t1: at cardiac catheterisation suite at the start of the procedure; t2: at cardiac catheterisation at the end of the procedure; t3: at the NICU after transport.
*Statistically significant.
NICU, neonatal intensive care unit.
