Abstract
Comparative Trial between Neonatal Intensive Care Incubator, Neonatal Laminar Flow Unit and Radiant Warmer
Highlights
The use of incubators to manage ill newborns dates more than one hundred years of history [1] until now days there are limitations to it use, as poor isolation [2], very difficult to access the newborn and high noise [3]
The use of radiant warmer emerges in the 1970s, in attempt to improve the control of the microenvironment [1,2,4]
The newborn’s incubator group had a mean weight of 3000grs ± 220grs, the newborn’s radiant warmer’s group had a mean weight of 3120grs ±110grs, and newborn’s laminar flow unit group had a mean weight of 3225grs±150grs
Summary
The use of incubators to manage ill newborns dates more than one hundred years of history [1] until now days there are limitations to it use, as poor isolation [2], very difficult to access the newborn and high noise [3]. The neonatal laminar flow unit was created and developed in Brazil since 2004, and its concepts and its use to supply hypothermia therapy in newborns have been published [5,6,7]
