Here’s a more detailed explanation of their uses:
1. Temperature Regulation:
- Premature babies: often lack the ability to regulate their own body temperature effectively due to underdeveloped nervous systems and limited body fat.
- Incubators maintain a consistent, optimal temperature, preventing hypothermia (low body temperature) and its associated complications.
- They can also be used for babies who are sick or have other medical conditions that affect their ability to regulate their body temperature.
2. Protection from Infections and External Stimuli:
- Incubators create a sterile environment, minimizing the risk of infections for vulnerable newborns.
- They also protect babies from excessive noise, light, and other external stimuli that could be harmful or stressful.
3. Humidity Control:
- Incubators help maintain the right level of humidity, which is important for the delicate skin of newborns.
