Join us for a discussion with neonatal trainee, Dr. Emma Dunne, from the esteemed Royal College of Physicians in Ireland. Her experience and research findings pave the way for an enlightening conversation where Dr. Dunne unveils her surprising findings on delayed cord clamping and its link to hypothermia in preterm neonates. Find out more about the Apollo PB trial and its implications, and delve into the importance of thermal care in neonatology. Dr. Dunne's experiences navigating the complexities of collaboration between obstetrics and neonatology give us a glimpse into the multi-layered nature of this field. 

In the latter part of our conversation, we delve into the potential risks and rewards of continuous temperature monitoring in neonatal care. Dr. Dunne's research raises some thought-provoking questions about the thermometers we often use and their impact on thermal regulation in neonates. From exploring interventions that could potentially enhance temperature control in neonates, our discussion is packed with insightful knowledge.
