Best Answer

FUNCTION OF AN INCUBATOR

1. HEAT . A premature baby has no way of heating its body temperature. The baby might get hypothermia,or heat up too much and because convulsion or brain damage.

2. OXYGEN . Premature babies have undeveloped lungs which are less efficient at getting out of the air to ensure they the baby gets enough.

3. INFECTION CONTROL . An incubator can be a closed environment so that there is less chance of the baby coming into contact with bacteria or virus. This is important because babies in general don't have a developed immerse system,and in a premature baby an infection could cause serious damages as the babies body is under a lot of strain.
