ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling the operating parameters of an apparatus for maintaining the temperature of prematures and newborns is improved in that the operating parameters are determined based on a precise definition of the thermal condition of the patient and that information as to the bodily well-being based on determined sensor actual values for controlling the operating parameters are applied. For solving this task, the control takes place basically with the aid of at least two temperature sensors which measure the core temperature and the peripheral temperature, respectively, of the patient. The logic combination of the temperature signals takes place in such a manner that, in addition to the absolute temperature of one of the two sensors, the temperature difference between the two temperature sensors is simultaneously applied. In this way, it is possible for the first time that the thermal well-being of the patient is applied for controlling the incubator parameters and not only a single temperature.
