What is the Importance of Thermal Environment in Neonatal Care?
The thermal environment is critical for newborns, especially those with neonatal disorders. Maintaining an optimal thermal environment ensures that the infant can regulate their body temperature effectively, reducing the risk of complications such as hypothermia or hyperthermia. Newborns, particularly preterm infants, have a limited ability to maintain their body temperature due to their immature thermoregulatory systems.
