Thermoregulation differences

Evaluating thermoregulation capabilities of newborn hybrid incubators based on technology, testing and track record.

This white paper contains several substantial claims and additional information on the clinical research:

Giraffe OmniBed provides thermal and physiological stability across bed states³, Improvements of at least 15% in clinical outcomes (such as body temperature⁴, growth velocity, weight stabilization) and offers 0.49 degrees higher temperature during intrahospital transport (Giraffe OmniBed without power)⁵

Thermal Protection

Thermal Protection of the Premature Infant

Summary: Where are we now and where should we

Robin B. Dail, PhD, RN, FAAN Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs & Professor University of South Carolina, College of Nursing

This document shows thermal physiology in the premature infant, mechanisms of heat loss, and provide a review of the way we control the thermal environment of the premature infant.

This is an excellent educational piece that addresses key concepts to provide the clinician with guidance for considerations that must be taken when managing individual patient thermal needs.
