Background: Kangaroo mother care (KMC) has been widely used to improve the care of preterms and low birth
weight infants. However, very little is known about cerebral hemodynamics responses in preterm infants during
KMC intervention. The aim of this study is to evaluate the changes of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in middle cerebral
artery, before and after a 30 minute application of KMC in stable preterm infants.
