Badhan Banerjee- Writes On !!!

  Is it possible that Servo-Control Unit (Incubator and radiant warmer) can help at old age! BADHAN BANERJEE SUSTAINBILITY WORKER   AT THE OUTSET Careful attention to providing the best possible thermal environment increases the chance of survival and the quality of outcome, particularly in the small premature subject (human being). Servo-Control is an electronic feedback system which functions as a thermostat to maintain a constant temperature at the site of a thermistor probe (usually on the skin over the abdomen) by regulating the heat output of an incubator or radiant warmer. Maintaining a constant abdominal skin temperature between 36.0 and 36.5ÁC is the simplest way to provide a "thermoneutral" environment, minimizing the number of calories needed to maintain normal body temperature and reducing the risks of cold stress or overheating. Although either skin or air temperature control can be used safely for most subjects (human beings), skin temperature Servo-
