Disturbance of temperature regulation of newborn, unspecified - what does this mean
Disturbance of temperature regulation of newborn, unspecified is a condition where a newborn baby's body is unable to regulate its temperature properly. this can be caused by various factors, such as an immature thermoregulatory system, inadequate insulation, or a lack of access to a temperature-controlled environment. this condition can lead to hypothermia or hyperthermia, which can be dangerous for the newborn.
What happens during the disease - disturbance of temperature regulation of newborn, unspecified
The pathogenesis of disturbance of temperature regulation of newborn, unspecified, is likely due to an immature thermoregulatory system in the newborn. this can be caused by a variety of factors such as immature hypothalamic control, an immature skin-to-core temperature gradient, and/or inadequate insulation of the newborn’s body. these factors can lead to the inability of the newborn to maintain their body temperature, resulting in hypothermia or hyperthermia.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Measure the newborn's temperature.
- Perform a physical examination of the newborn.
- Order laboratory tests, such as a complete blood count, electrolyte levels, and thyroid function tests.
- Order imaging studies, such as a chest X-ray and/or CT scan.
- Perform a skin biopsy.
- Order genetic testing.
- Perform a neurological exam.
- Referral to a pediatric endocrinologist for further evaluation.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To restore the temperature regulation of the newborn.
- Administering fluids and electrolytes to the newborn
- Monitoring the newborn's temperature
- Adjusting the newborn's clothing and environment to maintain a comfortable temperature
- Administering medications to reduce fever, if needed
- Providing skin-to-skin contact to regulate the newborn's temperature
- Administering a cool bath to lower the newborn's temperature, if needed
- Providing extra blankets or clothing to keep the newborn warm, if needed
9 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Disturbance of temperature regulation of newborn, unspecified - Prevention
The prevention of disturbance of temperature regulation of newborn, unspecified can be achieved by ensuring the newborn is kept in a temperature-controlled environment, is dressed appropriately for the temperature, and is monitored regularly for any changes in temperature. additionally, providing the newborn with adequate nutrition and hydration can help to maintain a healthy body temperature.
