Historical Review and Recent Advances - Chapter 3

چکیده
Adaptation to extrauterine life involves the newborn infant in a series of biological adjustments to a totally new set of environmental conditions. Prime among these is the accommodation to a thermal environment that, in all but the most tropical countries, represents a distinctly "cold" challenge. The failure to accommodate to this cold stress has historically been recognized as perhaps the earliest distinguishable characteristic (other than size) of the premature as opposed to the term neonate. In this difference, i.e., that the premature infant is unable to maintain his body temperature in the face of a cooler environmental one, lies the rationale for the history and origins of incubators in the care of the premature baby.
