P80.0: Cold injury syndrome
In the period immediately after the birth, severe hypothermia occurred.
Heat is constantly released over the body surface area. A baby cools down faster than an adult. If a baby does not weigh a lot, it will become hypothermic faster. Certain disorders such as blood poisoning can also promote hypothermia in a baby.
If a baby has severe hypothermia, its face, arms and legs may turn red. Fluid may also be stored in the body. The baby's brain may also be damaged. If the brain is damaged, a child may for instance be sleepier than usual.
