WB2462 Neonatal Thermoregulation-Still A Heartwarming Topic Course
WB2462 Neonatal Thermoregulation-Still A Heartwarming Topic Course is organized by National Certification Corporation (NCC).
Expiration: 12/31/2024
Content Outline:
• Initial Approaches to Achieve Thermal Balance in Term Neonates
• Practice Improvement to Reduce Admission Hypothermia in Neonates Born at Less Than 32 Weeks Gestation or 1500 g
Objectives:
• Recall the mechanisms of heat loss that potentially impact the newborn’s thermoregulatory adaptation to the extrauterine environment
• Outline the underlying principles of neonatal thermal balance and describe the preventive measures presented for avoiding hypothermia and hyperthermia as well as the proper use of equipment and supplies to support thermal balance
• Summarize the methods, results, and implications for clinical practice in the 2017 quality improvement project presented with the purpose of decreasing admission hypothermia in neonates born at less than 32 weeks gestation or weighing less than 1500 g
