Small plastic tubes that fit into a baby’s nostrils and that deliver oxygen. Nasal prongs are used with a treatment called continuous positive airway pressure (C-PAP), which uses a ventilator to deliver pressurized air to the baby’s lungs.Oxygen hood:

The bright blue fluorescent lights placed over the baby’s incubator used to treat jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes due to accumulation of a waste product called bilirubin in the blood). Babies with jaundice usually receive phototherapy treatment for three to seven days.Blood pressure monitor:

A machine that tracks a baby’s heart and breathing rates, and is connected to him by small adhesive monitoring pads placed on his chest. The monitor displays information on the screen, which can be printed onto paper. If a baby’s heart or breathing rate becomes too fast or too slow, an alarm will sound.Central line:

Air is delivered to a baby's lungs through either small tubes in the baby’s nose or through a tube that has been inserted into her windpipe. The tubes are attached to a ventilator (respirator), which helps the baby breathe, but does not breathe for her.Endotracheal tube:

A clear plastic crib that keeps babies warm and helps protect them from germs and noise.Intravenous line:

A small U-shaped device that is wrapped around a baby’s foot or hand and secured with a stretchy bandage. It uses a light sensor to help determine if the baby has enough oxygen in her blood. This sensor does not hurt the baby at all. It helps doctors and nurses determine whether she needs more or less oxygen, while reducing the need for painful blo [..]

See ventilator.Umbilical catheter:

A ventilator (also called a respirator) is a mechanical breathing machine that delivers warmed and humidified air to a baby’s lungs. The sickest babies receive mechanical ventilation, meaning that the ventilator temporarily breathes for them while their lungs grow or recover. The air is delivered to the baby’s lungs through an endotracheal tube (a [..]
