    OBJECTIVE: To systematically analyze the evidence on the effectiveness of the thermal mattress in preventing hypothermia in premature or low birth weight newborns. MATERIAL AND METHOD: This study uses a systematic review of 10 articles about the effectiveness of the thermal mattress in preventing hypothermia in premature or low birth weight newborns, which were found in the following databases: Pubmed , Sciencedirect, Epistemonikos, Cochrane Plus, Medline, Dialnet, Scielo. All articles used in this review were analyzed according to the Grade scale to determine their strength and quality of evidence. RESULTS: 100% of reviewed articles are conclusive. However, some authors suggest the use of a thermal mattress used autonomously and others that it be combined with some other intervention, but always monitoring the temperature to prevent iatrogenic hyperthermia. CONCLUSIONS: 100% (10/10) of the scientific articles in this study show that the use of thermal mattresses in premature and low birth weight newborns; It is effective for the prevention of hypothermia. The use of the thermal mattress simultaneously with the polyethylene bag provides warmth to the premature or low birth weight newborn, preventing hypothermia, but continuous monitoring must be carried out to avoid iatrogenic hyperthermia.
