The neonatal energy triangle. Part2: Thermoregulatory and respiratory adaption.
In the second part of this two part article the neonatal energy triangle elements of hypoxia and hypothermia are explored and the physiology of the first few hours of neonatal life drawn together into an integrated whole. This framework can assist in understanding the three most common difficulties encountered by the preterm baby and directing integrated and holistic care.
