Resus Warmer
A resus, or infant radiant, warmer is an effective warming therapy for a newborn baby and provides all the components needed in the event of clinical emergency and resuscitation.
Supporting baby in the first moments of its life, neonatal warmers maintain optimum body temperature of 36.5°C – 37°C, as a full-term baby will lose 1°C – 2° of their body temperature within 30 minutes of their life. This can increase significantly depending on the baby’s size, previously-known health problems and premature birth.
Infant radiant warmers are used so newborns can achieve thermoregulation. They also support the metabolic activity of a newborn and improve their early outcomes.
A radiant warmer for a newborn typically consists of a heat source, a skin-temperature sensor, an automatic control unit and both audible and visual alarms.
