Abstract

In this paper selected heat transfer issues related to the therapeutic hypothermia of newborns are presented and discussed. The therapeutic hypothermia is currently the only well established treatment of newborns suffering for perinatal asphyxia (PA). Considered heat transfer issues are closely associated with the non-invasive thermal measurements carried out at the Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy of Children and Newborns of the University Clinic Hospital in Opole, Poland. Obtained results allow for preliminary comparison of the heat transfer processes occurring during both types of therapeutic hypothermia.
