Infant radiant warmer is a medical equipment which is used to provide thermal stability and temperature management for newborn children. The temperature in a mother's womb is higher than the normal air temperature, and hence it is vital to prevent a fall in the temperature of the infant, which might lead to complications. Infant radiant warmers, commonly known as incubators or neonatal warming devices, are majorly used to provide accessibility to nursing and hospital staff in performing procedures such as resuscitation or interventions or other treatment for infants along with maintaining thermal stability for critically ill infants. According to the World Health Organization, prolonged exposure of newborn infants to cool temperatures can induce hypoglycemia, hypoxia, and acidosis, which can lead to death in some rare cases. The infant radiant warmer equipment consists of a heating mechanism which generates radiant heat energy, a continuous skin temperature monitoring sensor to maintain and manage required temperature, visual and audible alarms to indicate overheating or under heating, and control units. The infant radiant warmers are used in various clinical settings, including labor and delivery rooms, cesarean operating rooms, mother-baby rooms, newborn nursery, neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and pediatric intensive care units (PICUs).
