Effects of Light- and Sound-Reduction Incubator Cover on Duration of Sleep in Premature Infants: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Phase 1
Completed
- Conditions
- Premature infants have to adapt from an environment in the mother's womb, which is an environment suitable for growth to live in an environment where medical devices are used for a large number. Sleep in premature infants may be impeded by stimuli from the environment in the unit. Excessive stimulation of the baby by sound, light, and touch resulting in increasing heart rate and oxygen saturation.Incubator cover, premature infants, sleep

- Brief Summary
The duration of total sleep and deep sleep of premature infants using the light- and sound-reduction incubator cover was significantly longer than those using the conventional incubator cover. The level of light and noise in incubators while using the light- and sound-reduction incubator cover was significantly lower than that while using the conventional incubator cover.
