Evaluation of short-term outcomes and other process Fig. 1 Golden Hour algorithm initial airway management was based on the infant's gestational age and assessment of risk factors for respiratory failure. Implementation of an evidence-based GH protocol was effective at significantly improving euglycemia, euthermia, and time to completion of admission stabilization for EP-ELBW infants in our NICU. Following project implementation, admission temperatures in our unit for infants <27 weeks' gestation consistently fell within the Vermont Oxford Network's reported ranges for similar type NICUs. Although we did not consistently meet our goal of completion within the first 60 min after birth, we made significant improvements in time from baseline. ./cache/cord-010863-m36kxc4x.txt ./txt/cord-010863-m36kxc4x.txt
