The present invention relates to a hot pack for maintaining body temperature and a method of manufacturing the same, wherein the hot pack comprises: a heating member which comprises fatty acids; a temperature maintenance member which surrounds the outside of the heating member and includes a high absorbent resin; and a packing member which surrounds the entire surface of the temperature maintenance member and the heating member. According to the present invention, the hot pack for maintaining body temperature, by comprising the high absorbent resin surrounding the fatty acids which are beef tallow components, can maintain a temperature through the interaction between the high absorbent resin and heat of solidification that is liberated as the fatty acids in a central portion that were heated and melted by a water bath get re-solidified. Additionally, since the fatty acids can be obtained directly from various local sources and the hot pack of the present invention can be re-used semi-permanently unlike disposable hot packs, thus, if commercialized, the present invention can significantly reduce the infant mortality due to hypothermia. 본 발명은 체온 유지 핫팩 및 그 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 상세하게는 지방산을 포함하는 발열재; 상기 발열재의 외측을 둘러싸고 있는, 고흡수성 수지를 포함하는 온도 유지재; 및 상기 발열재 및 온도 유지재의 전체 표면을 둘러싸고 있는 포장재를 포함하는 핫팩을 제공한다. 본 발명의 체온 유지 핫팩 및 그 제조방법은 우지성분인 지방산을 중심으로 이를 둘러싸고 있는 고흡수성 수지를 포함함으로써, 물중탕으로 핫팩을 가열하여 녹은 중심부의 지방산이 다시 굳으면서 방출하는 응고열과 고흡수성 수지가 상호작용하여 온도를 유지할 수 있다. 또한, 상기 지방산은 현지에서 직접 구할 수 있으며, 일회용의 핫팩과는 다르게 반영구적으로 재사용이 가능함으로써, 상용화된다면 저체온증으로 인한 신생아 사망률을 현저하게 감소시킬 수 있다.
