Annual estimated proportions of death by
cause for neonates
Worldwide
• 38% of all under-5-year-old
deaths occurred in the
neonatal period (2001) [1]
– 99% occurred in the
developing countries
–¾of neonatal deaths
occurred during the 1st week
of life
– 24-45% of neonatal deaths
occur during the 1st 24 hrs.

Incubator
“Incubare” latin = to lie on
A microenvironment to place newborns who are at
high risk, for maintenance of temperature and
humidity.
Infant incubator is a Bio Medical Device which
provides Warmth, Humidity and Oxygen all in a
controlled environment as required by the New born

Purposes
Maintenance of thermo neutral ambient
temperature.
Provision of desired humidity and
oxygenation.
Observation of very sick neonates.
Isolation of newborn babies from infection,
unfavorable external environment and
stimulations.

Indication
Premature babies
Babies with low birth weight (<1500gm)
Hypothermic child (<320C)
Sick children
Also used in case of transportation of babies from one hospital to
another.
Also used to shift babies within the hospital for various investigations.
E.g, CT Scan and MRI.

Anatomy of Skin
Skin is often considered the largest
organ system of the human body.
The average adult male has 18 square
feetof skin weighing over 6 pounds.
Skin is comprised of three layers, the
Epidermis, Dermis and Subcutaneous
tissue.

Skin - Function
Provides a physical barrier to the outside environment.
Assists in the development of the immune system
Conserves body fluid by preventing evaporative loss.
Maintains body temperature.
Produces vitamin D in the presenceof sunlight.
Provides sensations of temperature and touch.

Hypothermia: Definition and Causes
• Those that survive often face [6]:
– Diabetes
– Heart disease
– Low IQ
– Other complications
• Normal temperature of newborn 36.5-37.5 °C
• Temperatures < 35 °C is “under temperature”
hypothermic
– Indicates either surrounding is too cold or
infection
• Infant body acts as a heat sink [5]:
– Poor thermal insulation
– Large SA:V
– Small mass
– Heat loss via conduction, radiation, convection,
and evaporation
– Preterm infants are at highest risk of
hypothermia

Hyperthermia
Hyperthermia can be defined as a core
temperature greater than 98.6° F (37.0° C)
In adults it may lead to Fever, Heat
syndromes like collapse, cramps, stroke
etc.

Thermoregulation
Thermo regulation is the ability of the body to
balance the heat produced in the body with the
heat lost by the body, thereby maintaining the body
temperature in the normal range.

The temperature of the body is regulated by
hypothalamus
Sweating begins almost precisely at a skin
temperature of 37°C
If the skin temperature drops below 37°C, a
variety of responses are initiated to conserve the
heat in the body and to increase heatproduction

Strategies to prevent heat loss:
• CONVECTIVE HEAT LOSS can be prevented
by:
– Providing warm ambient air temperature
• Placing infants less than 1500 grams in incubators
• Keeping portholes of the incubator closed
• Warming all inspired oxygen
• On open warmers keeping sides up and covering infant if
possible
• Using Infant Servo Temperature Control

Hardware Parts
Fan
The fan takes the filtered room air and blows it over or through the
heating element and the humidifier.
Without the fan the incubator would overheat.
Filter
• Simple incubators are equipped with washable foam filters. After
washing and drying they can be reused.
• Modern incubators however usually have disposable bacterial
filters. They can not be cleaned and have to be renewed.

Heater
• A heating element made from coiled resistance wire as
known from hair dryers or the tube type (flat or coiled)
as seen in autoclaves are used to heat up the air. But
unlike in autoclaves, the heater has much less power and
thus does not get so hot.
• The power rating is between 100 W and 300 W.
• The heater is controlled by an electronic temperature
control unit via a relay or simply by a thermostat.

A. Controlled the Air :
• In air control mode, the air temperature is sensed and
used to provide the feed back to the system to turn on or
off according to the set value.
• Under the air control, the hot air flow is turned on
whenever the incubator air temperature goes below the
set temperature; maximum flow of hot air is allowed
from the heater into the incubator. This causes rapid rise
in the incubator air temperature.

A. Controlled the Air (Cont)
• When the air temperature reaches the desired
value, the flow of hot air is turned off. With this
on-off control, there is an overshoot and
undershoot in the air temperature

B. Skin control mode:
• In skin control mode, the skin temperature is sensed
and used to provide the feed back to the system to
turn on or off according to the set value.
• Under the skin control, the hot air flow is turned on
whenever the skin temperature goes below the set
temperature, and maximum flow of hot air takes
place into the incubator. This causes a rise in air
temperature.

• Skin temperature also goes up through
convection of heat from air to skin. When the
skin temperature reaches the desired value the
flow of hot air is turned off.

temperature is maintained constant there are
high fluctuations in air temperature

Noise
Premature babies are fragile. One of their special
needs is quiet environment.
However, in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU),
high noise levels and frequent handling leave the
babies sleep deprived and may disrupt their normal
growth and development.

Avoiding Noise
• No tapping or writing on top of the Incubator or hood.
• Careful and soft closure of the Incubator pot hole
doors.
• Neonatal Noise mufflers can be used.
• Medical staff should be advised to wear soft shoe.
• To identify noisy areas and to isolate them.
• Check existing machines for noise level
• Check all incoming new machines for their noise

Controlled humidity in incubator:
• The humidity control system of the newborn incubator can
be presented under two aspects:
1. Passive humidity control system
This system consists of a reservoir with water.
This humidity of air occurs for the passive diffusion of the water for
the air that passes for the reservoir, not existing.
2. Active humidity control system
This system consists of a reservoir with water and the vapor is
controlled.

Controlled humidity in incubator:
• I. Without water in reservoir:
That the relative humidity of the air inside newborn incubator,
without water in humidity reservoir, go out from the band of
comfort established by Standard (40% - 60%).
• II. With water in reservoir and without
control of humidity:
The relative humidity of the air inside of the newborn incubator
that used water in humidity reservoir, without control of
humidity, go out from the band of standard.

X-ray tray:
An X-ray tray may be fitted beneath the bassinet to
enable X-rays to be taken without disturbing the infant.
This may be done with the canopy up or down.
• X-rays taken using the tray may result in a higher dose to
the patient because of the bedding, the mattress and
other plastics.
