An animal able to balance heat loss and heat production while maintaining a stable core temperature.
What is a homeotherm?
100
With the inability to generate heat production with shivering, an infant may increase this.
What is activity level?
100
In 1907 Pierre Budin wrote his book "The Nursling" that premature infants with temperatures kept between 36 and 37 degrees celsius had this.
What is increased survival rates?
100
This prevents blood from reaching the skin surface where heat loss occurs.
What is vasoconstriction?
100
A mother's body temperature rises and falls to maintain her infant in a neutral temperature state.
What is thermal synchrony?
200
An animal with little ability to produce and regulate core temperature i.e. takes on environmental temperatures.
What is a poikilotherm?
200
The transfer of heat from one object to another by direct contact.
What is conduction?
200
The rate of heat generation that equals heat dissipation.
What is thermal balance?
200
Cold stress signals the hypothalamus to release this.
What is norepinephrine?
200
Kangaroo care increases a mother's...
What is confidence, self-esteem, bonding/attachment, milk production?
300
Non-shivering thermogenesis.
What is brown fat metabolism?
300
Heat transfer from an object to the surrounding air.
What is convection?
300
Increases in metabolic rate for heat generation, also increases utilization of these.
What is oxygen and glucose?
300
Norepinephrine causes pulmonary vessels to.
What is constrict?
300
First noted in Columbia in the 1970s, kangaroo care was used because of this.
What is the lack of isolettes?
400
These cells generate more energy than any other tissue in the body.
What is brown fat cells?
400
Heat transfer between two objects not in direct contact with each other.
What is radiation?
400
This helps offset insensible water loss.
What is humidity?
400
With prolonged vasoconstriction, this becomes impaired.
What is tissue perfusion/oxygenation?
400
Re-warming a cold-stressed infant too quickly may cause this.
What is clinical deterioration?
500
The part of the brain that regulates body temperature.
What is the hypothalamus?
500
Loss of heat related to moisture loss from body surfaces.
What is evaporation?
500
This environmental temperature allows the infant to expend the least amount of energy to maintain core temperature.
What is thermal neutral zone.
500
Constricted pulmonary vessels do this to PVR. (pulmonary vascular resistance)
What is increases?
500
Needing an auxiliary temperature of at least 36.4 degrees Celsius to feed an infant combined with clinical deterioration may prompt a nurse to do this.
What is slow the rate of re-warming and notify the ARNP/MD.
