Abstract

1. Infection was reduced in premature bables although the incubator was run under most adverse surrounding conditions.2. Cyanotic attacks were stopped and did not recur when the oxygen content and the humidity of the incubator were kept at a high level.3. The usual diurnal temperature fluctuation of infants as recorded rectally was less than one degree.4. Motion including that of respiration was unhampered and was freely indulged in by infants, even to the smallest.5. The success with this incubator has warranted the building of “cabinet cubicles” or converted incubators for older infants, which embody the same principles of air-conditioning and also isolation from infections microorganisms.
