How has your first Baby Warm incubator helped you?
Warmth and temperature regulation Is key when little ones are too tiny and immature to regulate their own body temperature. Our Baby Warm incubators enable us to protect our cold-stressed babies from being forced to use up their oxygen to generate warmth. By keeping babies at optimal temperatures in our incubators, our babies can conserve and restore necessary energy, to begin the road to recovery.
How will this additional incubator help?
The importance of maintaining core body temperature during transportation of tiny and/or very ill little ones cannot be over emphasized. Cold babies with low or fluctuating body temps, will have increased respirations and shivering in an attempt to restore body heat. This requires energy expenditure that these little ones do not have to loose. This loss of energy and electrolytes can cause vital organs, brain, heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, to shut down, resulting in death before we can even get the babies to our centers to be able to stabilize them. Being able to transport while maintaining healthy body temperature is life-saving.
