Targeted Temperature Management for Newborns

Thermal Management in Newborn Patients

Maintaining optimal body temperature for newborns can be a challenge due to their underdeveloped skin, underdeveloped ability to sweat or shiver, large surface-to-body mass ratio, and higher metabolic rate. Here we share information and insights on how clinicians help keep newborns at an ideal temperature and thriving.
