THE NOISE EXPOSURE OF INFANTS IN INCUBATORS.

open access: yesAutumn Conference 1980, 1979
The noise exposure of infants in incubators due to both services noise and self-generated noise has been measured in an investigation involving 45 incubators and 69 infants. Incubator services noise levels were consistent with those reported in previous surveys but the noise produced by the infants has been found to increase levels by approximately 8 ...

An infant incubator

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1940
Abstract An incubator is described in which an infant can be kept at the proper temperature and humidity, with proper ventilation and, to facilitate respiration, in an atmosphere containing a known and controlled mixture of oxygen and helium. A densimometer serves to determine the composition of the gaseous mixture within the chamber and to make ...

An incubator for infants

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1938
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.

Infant incubators and radiant warmers

Early Human Development, 1983
Incubators and radiant warmers are used to maintain the body temperature of newborn infants. This is best done so that the energy expended for metabolic heat production is minimized. The heat output of these devices is usually regulated by servocontrol to keep the skin temperature constant at a site on the abdomen where a thermistor probe is attached ...

Electromagnetic Fields and Infant Incubators

Archives of Environmental Health: An International Journal, 1994
Two models of infant incubators were studied to determine the strength of the magnetic field generated by the heater and fan motors. Measurements were taken at intervals along the center line of the incubator. The results show that fields greater than 100 milligauss and 25 milligauss were measured in the C-86 and C-100 model Isolettes, respectively.

A Theoretical Model of Infant Incubator Dynamics

Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 1994
A spatially lumped mathematical model was developed and used for a computer simulation of the neonate-incubator system for parametric analysis of the factors that influence neonatal thermo-regulation. The simulation examined the effects of the following parameters: (1) size of the infant; (2) respiratory rate; (3) metabolic rate; (4) heart rate; (5 ...

Active noise control for infant incubators

2009 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2009
This paper presents an active noise control system for infant incubators. Experimental results show that global noise reduction can be achieved for infant incubator ANC systems. An audio-integration algorithm is presented to introduce a healthy audio (intrauterine) sound with the ANC system to mask the residual noise and soothe the infant.

A Prototype Infant Incubator for Heliox Therapy

Biomedical Instrumentation & Technology, 2006
Abstract Heliox (Hx) gas has been shown to improve pulmonary function in infants, but methods for its delivery are invasive and problematic. To this end, we modified an Isolette (Hill-Rom Air-Shields) infant incubator (Hxl) to deliver Hx respiratory gas mixtures noninvasively while providing thermal stability for neonatal care in the ...
