Most infants can be safely and adequately cared for in either incubator or radiant warmer bed. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the implementation of standard warmer protocol causes a greater influence in maintenance of normal physical parameter of the Low Birth weight babies. One group pre-post test only design was adopted for this study. Total enumerative Sampling technique includes 60 low birth weight babies weighing below 2500g admitted in Tayma general hospital during the study period. Tools consist demographic variables and physiological parameters such as temperature, heart rate, respiration, oxygen saturation, activity, appearance/ colour, fluid status, feeding capacity/24hrs were monitored The data were collected over 3 months by Bio physiological method (in-vivo). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the date. The result showed standard warmer protocol is effective in maintaining normal physiological parameter of LBW babies in NICU.
