What is a baby incubator?

Infant incubators are common equipment in pediatric hospitals, birthing centers and neonatal intensive care units. It can purify the air, regulate the temperature and humidity, give the newborn baby a suitable environment, almost close to the mother’s womb environment, automatically controlled by the temperature controller, to ensure that the temperature of the incubator within a certain range, is conducive to the baby’s growth in the inside. It is commonly used to provide a safe and stable environment for newborns, often those born prematurely or with diseases or disabilities that make them particularly vulnerable in the first few months of life.

Why does my baby need a baby incubator?

There are many reasons why your baby may need to be in an infant incubator. Some of these include:

Preterm birth

Traumatic birth

Respiratory distress syndrome

hypoglycemia

Sepsis or other infections

Maternal chorioamnitis

What are baby incubators for?

An incubator can be used to protect a baby from all possible dangers. The incubator is fully temperature-controlled to protect the baby from harmful cold and insulate it from outside noise, making it easier for them to get adequate and comfortable rest. The incubator environment keeps the baby sterile, protects the baby from germs and minimizes the risk of infection. The shell also blocks all airborne irritants, such as dust and other allergens. The cradle in the incubator is a spacious and comfortable surface, so it can leave the baby in place while many tests and even simple medical procedures are performed. This protects the baby from excessive handling, which can be a problem in some cases of premature birth.

What is the role of an infant transport incubator?

Infant transport incubators serve the same purpose as those used in intensive care units. It is used to provide the newborn with the warmth needed to reduce heat loss to the environment. In some cases, a newborn or baby has to be moved by air or road from one place to another to find an intensive care unit or to a different hospital for different treatment. Because these newborns or babies are born weak, when they get sick, their condition becomes even more fragile. In this case, the most challenging part of intensive care is transferring infants without exposing them to ambient temperature gradients. This is achieved by transferring the baby to a transport incubator which maintains a small environment at the required temperature.

Special care is taken to ensure that the device is relatively light and small, which facilitates the movement of the device. The baby tray sits on a trolley and is covered in fiberglass or acrylic structure to provide an enclosed environment for the baby. Provide openings so that medical staff can access the infant when needed, and provide separate openings for inserting oxygen tubes, etc. The desired temperature can be set and the baby’s skin temperature and ambient temperature can be displayed on the provided screen. Airflow can be regulated by knobs, and these systems have alarms to draw attention to unwanted situations, such as a rise in temperature. The main difference from the intensive care incubator is the presence of an external portable power supply (mounted on a transport incubator trolley) that keeps the instrument working as it moves. The instruments can also use electricity from ambulances.

A newborn may need to be moved from one location to another to provide medical care. Any major disruption in transportation could be harmful to the baby. HB2000 Hospital Enviable Incubator Infant Warmer Transport Incubator can be moved effortlessly and the controller has a display screen that can be easily read from any Angle during transportation. Air and skin temperature displays help you maintain, control and provide basic information about infant heat support. Microprocessor control system with air and skin operation modes. Displays two temperatures, air/skin temperature and set temperature. Light touch operation with digital display and extensive alarm. Access is quick and easy through side access doors and front port holes. Side doors fold down, and nonessential items retract from the hood for emergency procedures. Doors and duct ports provide ventilator duct support. Baby restraints are attached to the crib to ensure safety during transportation.
