  • Title: Thermoregulation in low-birth-weight infants.
    Author: Roncoli M, Medoff-Cooper B.
    Journal: NAACOGS Clin Issu Perinat Womens Health Nurs; 1992; 3(1):25-33. PubMed ID: 1562444.
    Abstract:
    Thermoregulation is a critical component of neonatal nursing care, particularly with regard to preterm infants. To provide appropriate care, nurses must be aware of the energy balance equation, mechanisms of heat loss, and specific factors related to preterm infants. In addition to the standard care measures implemented from birth through intensive care, nurses need to be aware of principles related to weaning an infant to an open crib.
