Image
  Infant Radiant Warmer (also known as neonatal warming devices) is used for newborn or preterm infants to provide heat to the body. It helps maintain the body temperature of newborn or preterm infants and limit the metabolism rate. They monitor vital parameters, supply oxygen, and provide heat to the baby. Ventilators, pulse oximeter, radiant warmer, incubators, nasal cannula, bile lights, endotracheal tube, blood pressure monitors, and cardiopulmonary monitors are among the various types of infant radiant warmers. Infant Radiant Warmer are typically consist of visual and audible alarms, an automatic control unit, a skin-temperature sensor, and a heat source. These devices help maintain thermal stability for critically ill infants as well as provide access to hospital and nursing staff to perform procedures such as intervention or resuscitation or other treatments. Prolonged exposure of newborn infants to cool temperatures can induce acidosis, hypoxia, and hypoglyc...
