Systemic Factors The ratio of body surface area to kilograms of body weight is larger in babies than in adults, which determines that babies’ skin dissipates heat faster and uses more heat. Baby’s skin is also more sensitive to temperature changes in the external environment than adults. When the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, the subcutaneous arteries contract, venous blood return is not smooth, the formation of baby frostbite. Dressing factors such as shoes and socks are too tight, standing still for a long time or long time immersed in cool water can make the blood circulation is impaired, resulting in frostbite.
