A prospective study of post-delivery temperature changes from birth to 24 h, carried out in a busy District General Hospital is reported. The temperature fall after delivery was less than expected and reflected a high level of awareness of the dangers of hypothermia. On the basis of the findings of the survey, hypothermia in the first 24 h can be defined as a rectal temperature of less than 36.4 degrees C. Those babies who did become hypothermic were significantly more likely to be of low birth weight or preterm gestation.
本文报道了一项在一家繁忙的区综合医院进行的关于出生至24小时产后体温变化的前瞻性研究。产后体温下降低于预期，这反映出对体温过低危险的高度认知。根据调查结果，出生后24小时内体温过低可定义为直肠温度低于36.4摄氏度。那些确实体温过低的婴儿更有可能是低出生体重儿或早产。
