Posted January 18, 200916 yr I want to ask about the humidification for the preterm baby wich are carring in the Giraffe Omni Bed.For our unit there is a new incubator.What is the initial humidity and after many days we can wean humidity and how we need to wean humidity?
March 26, 200915 yr Very much dependent upon gestational age/skin condition. The younger-(gestationally) the more humidity the infant will require. Some of the little ones in our unit require up to 60-70% humidity for several days, unitl the maturation of the skin.
March 29, 200915 yr Hi there, in our unit in Hamilton New Zealand, we humidify the little ones to 80% and keep it at this level until the baby's skin is mature - this can be up to a month with the 24 weekers. Since we started doing this the skin condition does seem to be much better.
