Problems solved by technology

Although these devices warm babies adequately to some extent, they do not address dry skin even when humidified air is provided
They can also cause movement difficulties as the infant is removed from the fluid environment
Additionally, difficulties associated with administering the drug can arise

Embodiment Construction

[0055] The devices, systems, and methods described herein relate in some aspects to neonatal incubators, and more particularly to incubators for use in mammals, such as infants, including premature infants, preterm infants, and / or low birth weight infants. Amniotic fluid bath incubator for term infants, including veterinary applications. In some embodiments, the incubator may be used for non-neonatal, eg, in some cases, hypothermic or otherwise ill children or adults. Some embodiments of the devices, systems, and methods described herein may have several significant benefits for such infants compared to currently existing convection- and radiation-based incubator technologies. Without being bound by theory, some of these benefits may include, for example, one or more of: (1) improving thermoregulation, (2) improving hydration by reestablishing intramembranous fluid absorption pathways in the uterus, (3) providing A fluid environment for exercise and movement of the infant's a...

Abstract

The devices, systems, and methods described herein can provide a simulated fluid environment similar to a mother's uterus to recreate an ideal or more familiar environment for pre-term infants. In some embodiments, the amniotic fluid bath incubator for premature infants may comprise an incubator with synthetic or simulated amniotic fluid, a heating element, a temperature sensor, and / or a thermostat for temperature regulation.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 252,060, filed November 6, 2015, entitled "PREMATUREINFANT AMNIOTIC BATH INCUBATOR." The aforementioned application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety under 37 C.F.R. §1.57. Background technique [0003] The systems, devices and methods disclosed herein relate to the care of infants, particularly premature infants. About 1 in 9 babies born in the United States is premature. This amounts to 400,000 babies per year in the US alone and close to 15 million worldwide. Preterm birth is the leading contributor to infant death and the leading cause of long-term neurological disability in children. Of those born prematurely, 75,464 babies were very preterm (or born before 32 weeks), which accounted for the greatest number of infant deaths. The infants spent an average of 46.2 days in the neonatal intensive care ...
