Incubater

Infant Incubators Equipment

A neonatal incubator is a rigid box-like enclosure in which an infant can be kept in a controlled environment for observation and care. The device may include a heater, a fan, a container for water to add humidity, a control valve through which oxygen may be added, and access ports for nursing care.

There are some other machines that are used during the care of sick babies these include:

Blood pressure monitor: The blood pressure monitor is a machine that is connected to a small cuff which wrapped around the baby’ arm or leg. This cuff automatically takes the blood pressure and displays the numbers on a screen.

Oxygen hood: This is a clear box that fits over the baby’s head and supplies oxygen. This is used for babies who can still breathe but need that extra oxygen.

Ventilator: This is a breathing machine that delivers air to a baby’s lung. Babies who are very unwell will receive this ventilation this means the ventilator breathes for the babies while their lungs recover.
