Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Directing a cool gas mixture towards an infant can lead to increased oxygen consumption as the body works harder to maintain its temperature, increased convective heat loss due to the cool air flow removing body heat, and potentially apnea as a reflex response to sudden cooling.
