Neonatal Incubators
Neonatal Incubators are a crucial part of any delivery room in a maternity suite at hospital and can be the difference between life and death for premature and poorly babies.
Even for neonate (newborn) babies, there are several reasons why they may need to use an incubator, including:
if their mother has had gestational diabetes
infection
struggling to regulate and maintain body temperature
a traumatic or lengthy labour
breathing issues
low birth weight
The purpose of a neonatal incubator
A neonatal incubator is designed and manufactured to provide a safe and controlled space for infants to stay, providing a fresh and sterile climate to give a baby the perfect environment in which to progress.
Providing an environment that can be adjusted to provide the ideal temperature, in addition to the right amount of light, humidity and oxygen, an incubator encourages baby’s organs to develop.
Other purposes include protection from:
loud noises
harsh light levels
germs
allergens
Neonatal incubators can also be used in conjunction with multiple medical procedures, due to the hand access points on the side, so the baby won’t need to be removed at a critical time:
ventilating
monitoring vital functions
IV use – for feeding, medications and blood infusions
special lights used in the treatment of jaundice
