OBJECTIVE ACTIVITY ACTIVITY
1. 5min Introduce about THERMOREGULATION IN THE Lecture cum Listening and PPT
thermoregulation in discussion asking
newborn.
NEWBORN:- question
Maintaining a neutral thermal environment is one of the
key physiologic challenges that a newborn must face
after delivery. Thermal care is central to reducing
morbidity and mortality in newborns. Thermoregulation
is the ability to balance heat production and heat
Loss in order to maintain body temperature within a
certain normal range. The average “normal” axillaries
temperature is considered to be 37°C.
There is a lack of Evidence on what constitutes the
“normal” temperature range for a newborn. The World
Health Organization (WHO) defines Normal axillaries
temperatures to be between 36.5°C and 37.5°C.
2. 5min Define hypothermia.
Hypothermia:- Hypothermia occurs when the Lecture cum Listening PPT Define
newborn’s axillaries temperature drops below 36.3°C or explanation hypothermia?
The following characteristics put
newborns at a greater risk of heat loss:
· A large surface area-to-body mass ratio
· Decreased subcutaneous fat
· Greater body water content
· Immature skin leading to increased evaporative water
and heat losses
· Poorly developed metabolic mechanism for responding
to thermal stress
· Altered skin blood-flow
3. 5min To explain about the Sources of heat loss:- Lecture cum Listening PPT What are the
sources of heat loss. explanation sources of heat
There are four ways in which a newborn loses body heat: loss?
· Evaporation: when amniotic fluid evaporates from the
skin. Evaporative losses may be insensible (from skin and
breathing) or sensible (sweating). Other factors that
contribute to evaporative loss are the newborn’s surface
area, vapor pressure and air velocity. This is the greatest
source of heat loss at birth.
· Conduction: when the newborn is placed naked on a
cooler surface, such as table, Scale, cold bed. The transfer
LESSON PLAN
General objective: - At the end of presentation participants will be able to understand the warm chain prevention
for hypothermia.
Specific objective: - At the end of presentation participants will be able to acquired knowledge are as following:-
1. To introduce the thermoregulation.
2. To define the hypothermia.
3. To explain the sources of heat loss.
4. To list out the Signs and symptoms of hypothermia
5. To explain about the warm chain prevention for hypothermia.
