Methods of Heat Loss
Evaporation
When wet surfaces are exposed to the air evaporation occurs. Heat is lost when the surface dries. At birth the neonate is bathed with amniotic fluid. As the amniotic fluid dries up on the infant’s skin (evaporation), the infant loses heat. The same occurs in bathing an infant.
Ways to prevent heat loss by evaporation:
Drying the infant as quickly as possible after birth.
Drying the infant immediately after bathing.
Conduction
When a neonate comes in direct contact with an object cooler than their skin heat
