Hypothermia of newborn, unspecified - what does this mean
Hypothermia of newborn, unspecified is a condition in which a newborn's body temperature drops below normal levels due to a lack of thermoregulation. it can be caused by a variety of factors, including prematurity, environmental factors, or exposure to cold temperatures. it can lead to serious complications, including organ damage, shock, and even death. treatment typically involves rewarming the newborn and providing supportive care.
What happens during the disease - hypothermia of newborn, unspecified
Hypothermia of the newborn is a condition in which the baby's core body temperature drops below the normal range of 36.5-37.5°c. it is caused by a combination of environmental factors such as cold exposure, low ambient temperature, or a lack of thermal insulation, as well as physiological factors such as a low metabolic rate, immature thermoregulatory system, or low body fat. in some cases, hypothermia can be caused by a medical condition such as sepsis or a congenital disorder.
