Kangaroo Mode

Kangaroo Care is commonly used in neonatal care to allow skin to skin contact between the parent careqiver. In kangaroo mode, the patient is warmed by the parents or caregivers body heat instead of the device. The patient is removed from the incubator and placed on the caregivers naked breast. To prevent heat loss, the patient may also be covered with a blanket. Skin temperature probes remain on the patient during Kangaroo Mode and function the same as if the patient were inside the incubator. Numerous studies have documented the clear benefits of this simple technique on the physiologic and emotional well-being of infants and mothers, especially for preterm babies. Kangaroo Mode performance testing was performed according to the technical requirements of the Isolette 8000 Plus incubator and provided in the submission.
