Steve Falk from GE Healthcare reviews with us how premature babies gain and lose heat through conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation, and discover the challenges these tiny fighters face in maintaining their temperature balance. We also discuss the evolution of thermal regulation and share unique methods used to keep babies warm, including hugging incubators and the power of skin-to-skin contact.In the second segment, we dive into the engineering marvels behind incubators. We discuss the nitty gritty things, portholes, air boost features, and the significance of the double-walled doors and side panels. You'll also hear about the vital role of clinical feedback in the development of new products, and how this has shaped the design of GE Healthcare's innovative Giraffe OmniBed. The concept of the 'golden hour' is also discussed, revealing how this crucial period can be managed to ensure optimal thermal regulation.This mini series is kindly sponsored by GE Healthcare.As always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.
