Member price: $49
Nonmember price: $59
Thermoregulation is the cornerstone of newborn care. This digital practice guideline will assist the obstetrical, post-partum, and neonatal nurses as well as other health care providers in providing appropriate thermal support/regulation in a variety of settings. Using the most current evidence-based research, the practice guideline will provide direction for implementing best practices in the thermal management of the pre-term, term, and post-term infant. Included is a section that reviews skin physiology with a visual description of skin development in the neonate from 0 to 40 weeks gestation which supports the rationale for practice. Product Details: Skin physiology and thermal protection – provides a deeper explanation of the various stages of development of neonatal skin and the impact this has on thermal stability both after birth and in the NICU.
This guideline was made possible through an unrestricted grant from GE Healthcare.
