2. Objectives What will I learn? Etiologies and pathophysiology Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment
3. Definition Neonatal Cold Injury Syndrome -- mainly caused by cold stress , --the clinical features are low body temperature and s cleredema , --serious one may appear multiple organ dysfunction.
4. Scleredema is a kind of disease characterized by hardening of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, often associated with subcutaneous edema.
5. Etiology and pathophysiology Charateristic of temperature regulation and subcutaneous fatty composition in newborn immaturity of temperature regulation center relative large surface area and rich blood flow cause poor thermal insulation
6. limited storage of energy, heat production mainly by brown fatty metabolism, lacking shivery thermogenesis more quantity of saturated fatty acid with higher melting point Imbalance between heat production and loss
8. Cold injury ● Cold environment increase heat loss, low body temperature cause constriction of peripheral blood vessels, dysfunction of microcirculation ● Low body temperature and cold environment cause anoxia , metabolic disturbance and acidosis even multiple organ dysfunction ( MOD )
9. Other Factors ● severe infection, ● premature, ● asphyxia, ICH, ● erythroblastosis
10. irregulation of temperature center relative larger surface cold 、 non-enough intake infection 、 asphyxia heat production of brown fat↓ anoxia, acidosis higher saturated fatty acid higher melt point body temperature ↓ coagulation of subcutaneous fat Pathogenesis of Neonatal Scleredema
11. Anoxia, acidosis coagulation of subcutaneous fat constriction of skin vessels anoxia of tissue hardening of skin Slowly blood flow disturbance of microcirculation capillary permeability ↑ edema circulating volume↓ shock multiple organ dysfunction DIC
12. Clinical Menifestation usually occur in cold season, during first 3 days or any time in preterm infants Low body temperature Scleredema
13. ● feature: skin and subcutaneous tissue become indurated, woody, non-pitting, cold to touch, involved area may with edema, redness, cyanosis; symmetrical ● Sequence: calves->thighs->low extremities->buttock->cheeks->upper extremities->whole body Scleredema
17. Evaluation of body surface area Head and neck 20% Upper limbs 18% Anterior part of trunk 14% Posterior part of trunk 14% Buttock 8% Lower limbs 26% 20% 9% 9% 14% 14% 8% 13% 13%
18. Degrees of NCIS Body temperature(℃) involved area change of organic anus T axil – anus T (% 、 color) function I 0 ≥ 35 positive < 20 no change (mild) pale II 0 < 35 0 or positive 20 ～ 50 poor reaction (moderate) dark red bradycardia III 0 < 35 negative > 50 shock 、 DIC 、 (severe) or < 30 cyanotic PH or ARF
19. Laboratory Examination nonspecific examination for diagnosis. eg. blood gas analysis, CT, PT, blood glucose level, platelet, electrolytes, BUN, fibrogen, etc. EKG, X - ray
24. Treatment Restoration of body temperature Energy supply and fluid infusion Correction of organ dysfunction · correction of acidosis and volume expansion · treatment of pulmonary hemorrhage · arrangement of ARF and DIC Others: antibiotics, symtomatic therapy

27. Treatment Ways of rewarming --Incubator --Open radiant warmer bed --Others water bath, electric blanket , Kangaroo Care, etc
34. Prevention ¤ Neonatal care: warm environment temperature, enough clothes ¤ Encourage early breast feeding ¤ Prevent high risk factors: premature, infection, asphyxia
35.
36. Conclusion and Review ¤ How to diagnose neonatal sepsis? ¤ Which marker can indicate neonatal infection? ¤ How many factors can cause NCIS? ¤ Which complication is caused by NCIS? ¤ State the clinic S/S and degrees of NCIS.
40. PROM of 2days intrapartum ampicillin because of PROM and maternal elevation of CRP Admitted to NICU duo to prematurity General condition is unstable
