• Mild controlled hypothermia to preterm is safe and does not associate with safety adverse effects during and after the cooling. • Preterm infants can be cooled through passive methods by just using the servo control of the incubator, presenting acceptable temperature variance, without dysthermia, achieving and remaining at the target temperature with a proper cooling speed. Mild controlled temperature for preterm infants does not need an additional cooling device.
