Light/dark condition was achieved by placing from 19:00 to 07:00 an acrylic helmet, covered with blue surgical drapes; surgical cloths were placed on helmets, and the frontal part was open, allowing good airflow. This helmet was placed individually above the head and thorax of each baby, resulting in reduced illumination, with light intensity of 27 ± 0.8 lux at the level of the eyes |
