    An incubator provides a controlled microenvironment to care for newborn babies who are premature, have a low birth weight, or are otherwise at high risk. It maintains the appropriate temperature and humidity for the baby while allowing observation and isolation from infection. There are portable and standard incubators, each with components like a hood, mattress, and control panel to regulate the air temperature, patient temperature, and other parameters. Nurses must properly warm and adjust the incubator, place the baby inside carefully, and continuously monitor and document the baby's condition.
