Question
What is neonatal hypothermia syndrome, and what are the causes and treatment methods for this condition?
Answer
The causes of neonatal hypothermia syndrome include: (1) An immature thermoregulatory center; (2) A relatively large body surface area, less subcutaneous fat, and increased heat loss in low environmental temperatures leading to low body temperature; (3) A small body type, less total body fluid content, and limited stored heat in the body, making it easy to cause a drop in body temperature; (4) Brown fat is the main substance that produces heat in extreme cold conditions, and the younger the gestational age, the less the content. Treatment recommendations include: If the newborn has no abnormalities, active treatment can be carried out. Premature babies especially need to pay attention to warming, strengthen feeding, and care, as well as timely supplementation of vitamin D and
