Paragraph # 2

What kind of machines does the NICU use?
When a baby is relatively stable but still premature or requiring intravenous fluids or other special attention, he or she is cared for in an "incubator." The incubator keeps the baby warm with moistened air in a clean environment, and helps to protect the baby from noise, drafts, infection, and excess handling. Incubators are sometimes called "isolettes," but "Isolette" is actually a brand name for a particular company's incubator product. and support diverse modes of operation, There are many more machines that the NICU uses.What I already know is that most of the machines that the NICU uses help the babies survive.Im sure if it wasn't for the machines than the premature babies.
