An infant requires both a precise high FiO2 and maintenance of a neutral thermal environment. Which of the following systems can best achieve these goals?
1. Oxy-Hood or warmed O2 blending system without incubator
2. Heated incubator with automatic O2 controlling system
3. Heated incubator with Oxy-Hood or O2 blending system
a. 1 and 2 only
b. 2 and 3 only
c. 1 and 3 only
d. 1, 2, and 3
ANS: A
Given the highly variable O2 concentration provided by these devices, the best way to control O2 delivery to infants in an incubator is with an Oxy-Hood. The Oxy-Hood is placed over the in-fant's head inside the incubator. The O2 concentration and gas temperature within the Oxy-Hood, not in the incubator, must be assessed. It is ideal to monitor incubator or Oxy-Hood O2 concentration continuously.
