Abstract: Hypothermia is a constant concern of professionals who work with newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit. Brazil ranks 16th in deaths related to complications of prematurity, and one of these complications is hypothermia. The aim of this study is to analyze the prevalence of preterm infants who underwent hypothermia at birth, and their stability in the first 24 hours of life. This is a descriptive, quantitative, exploratory and prospective study carried out in a maternity hospital in the city of Vitória de Santo Antão-PE. 74 newborns under 34 weeks of gestational age participated in the study, but only 38 met the inclusion criteria, with a minimum weight of 935g and a maximum of 2,425g. The incidence of hypothermia on admission to the NICU was 100% (n=38), the adequate and complete use of physical means (plastic bag and cap) managed to reduce the time for temperature stabilization.
