In a longitudinal, population based study, overnight temperature recordings were made in the bedrooms of 152 babies aged 3-18 weeks and the insulation provided by their bedclothing was assessed. Outdoor temperatures for the study nights were also available. Parents applied more insulation on colder nights with lower bedroom temperatures than on warmer nights (mean 8.5 tog at 15 degrees C minimum bedroom temperature falling to 4.0 tog at 25 degrees C). For a particular temperature they also applied 2 tog more insulation in winter than in summer. The amounts of bedclothing used in the home were compared with insulation levels predicted to achieve thermo-neutrality over a similar range of environmental temperature from heat balance studies in young infants. They corresponded closely. The average amount of bedclothing chosen for babies in Avon allows them to remain in thermoneutral conditions throughout the night. These values are proposed as broad guidelines for the thermal care of young babies at night.
在一项基于人群的纵向研究中，对152名3至18周大婴儿卧室的夜间温度进行了记录，并评估了他们床上用品的保暖性能。研究期间夜间的室外温度数据也可获取。家长们在卧室温度较低的较冷夜晚比在较温暖的夜晚使用了更多的保暖用品（卧室最低温度为15摄氏度时平均为8.5托格，在25摄氏度时降至4.0托格）。在特定温度下，他们在冬季使用的保暖用品也比夏季多2托格。将家庭中使用的床上用品数量与根据对婴儿进行的热平衡研究在类似环境温度范围内实现热中性所预测的保暖水平进行了比较。两者密切相关。在埃文地区为婴儿选择的床上用品平均数量能让他们整夜保持在热中性状态。这些数值被提议作为夜间照顾婴儿保暖的大致指导原则。
