Incubator humidity practices in preterm infants. Need for more evidence!
Presenter - Umesh Mishra
Dr Umesh Mishra is a Neonatal fellow and PhD student at The University of Sydney with over 15 years of experience in managing extremely
preterm infants. His research interests in thermoregulation, skincare, and incubator humidity practices have resulted in 10 publications,
including 3 as the first author. Over the last 5 years, he has demonstrated emerging leadership in clinical research, collaborating on
international studies and driving changes in global practices. Dr. Mishra's dedication to improving clinical outcomes for extremely preterm
babies motivated him to pursue a PhD in thermoregulation and humidity practices, aiming to contribute significantly to advancing new
knowledge and informing changes in clinical practice. His involvement as a co-investigator in clinical trials and research projects has led
to local practice improvements and policy development, particularly in areas like thermoregulation and antibiotic use for infants exposed to
maternal chorioamnionitis.
