<prompt> Severe Hypothermia in a neonate is temperature?35 C34 C33 C32 C  <response>: ANSWER: D 32 CREF: Nelson 17th edition page 323In neonates normal axillary temperature is 36.5-37.5degC. In hypothermia the temperature is below 36.5 degree centigrade.Compensatory mechanisms will usually attempt to restore normothermia at body temperatures above 32deg C; below this temperature, thermoregulation fails and spontaneous rewarming will not occur. Moderate hypothermia core temperature 32-35degC increases oxygen consumption owing to shivering thermogenesis and increased sympathetic tone. Below 32degC severe hypothermia, shivering ceases and the cellular metabolic rate
