Prevention of Hypothermia of Newborn

Thermal equilibrium is affected by relative humidity, air flow, direct contact with cool surfaces, proximity to cool objects, and ambient air temperature. Neonates are prone to rapid heat loss and consequent hypothermia because of a high surface area to volume ratio, which is even higher in low-birth-weight neonates. There are several mechanisms for heat loss:
