Research on the application of heating and humidifying incubators in neonatal care
加温加湿暖箱在新生儿护理中的应用研究

摘要

目的 探析加温加湿暖箱在新生儿护理中的应用效能。方法 选取本院2025年1-12月收治的60例需暖箱干预的新生儿，以随机数字表法分为观察组与对照组，各30例。对照组行常规暖箱护理，观察组采用加温加湿暖箱护理，均护理至达标出箱。对比两组箱内温湿度、生长发育（日均体重增量、体重恢复时间）、临床恢复（睡眠时间、出箱时长）指标及并发症发生率。结果 两组箱内平均温度无统计学差异（P>0.05），观察组湿度显著更高（P<0.05）；观察组体重增长更快、恢复及出箱时间更短、睡眠时间更长（均P<0.05），并发症发生率6.67%远低于对照组26.67%（P<0.05）。结论 加温加湿暖箱可优化箱内湿度，助力新生儿生长恢复，降低并发症风险，临床应用价值突出。

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of temperature and humidity-controlled incubators in neonatal care.
Methods A total of 60 neonates requiring incubator intervention admitted to our hospital from January to December 2025 were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group (n=30 each) using a random number table. The control group received conventional incubator care, while the observation group received temperature and humidity-controlled incubator care, with both groups receiving care until the target parameters were met. The intra-incubator temperature and humidity, growth and development (mean daily weight gain, weight recovery time), clinical recovery (sleep duration, time to discharge), and complication rates were compared between the two groups.
Results There was no statistically significant difference in the mean intra-incubator temperature between the two groups (P>0.05). The observation group exhibited significantly higher humidity (P<0.05). The observation group showed faster weight gain, shorter recovery and discharge times, and longer sleep duration (all P<0.05). The complication rate in the observation group was 6.67%, significantly lower than that in the control group (26.67%) (P<0.05).
Conclusion   Temperature and humidity-controlled incubators can optimize intra-incubator humidity, promote neonatal growth and recovery, reduce the risk of complications, and demonstrate significant clinical value.
