title: Thermal control in the neonatal unit.
abstract: The term infant is ready for independent life and responds appropriately in response to changes in environmental conditions by physiological adjustments and giving signals or showing signs to his attendants. Preterms above 32 weeks gestation have a weaker but similar capacity. Infants below 28 weeks gestation have very limited responses and benefit from a strict control of environmental conditions.
