Cold stress triggers a dangerous cycle of increased oxygen consumption, metabolic acidosis, and potential apnea. This physiological threat takes priority over neurological signs like poor feeding or lethargy.
Do not wait for fever; neonates often present with hypothermia in sepsis. Immediate intervention includes placing the infant under a radiant warmer and initiating the sepsis workup per protocol.
