CARE OF THE NEWBORN: THERMOREGULATION
eccdl.dcccd.eduCARE OF THE NEWBORN: THERMOREGULATION. A newborn is at a particular disadvantage in maintaining a “normal” body temperature. With the neonate’s large body surface and lean subcutaneous fat, the newborn loses about four times as much heat as the adult. Poor thermal stability is greatly due to the excessive heat loss rather than heat ...

Temperature Homeostasis (thermoregulation)
biologymad.comTemperature Homeostasis (thermoregulation) One of the most important examples of homeostasis is the regulation of body temperature. Not all animals can do this physiologically. Animals that maintain a fairly constant body temperature (birds and mammals) are called endotherms, while those that have a variable body temperature (all

Thermal care is central to reducing morbidity and mortality in newborns. Thermoregulation is the ability to balance heat production and heat
