This webpage talks about that incubator changes the heart beat of a baby. Scientists from the Uni Siena (IT) figured out that the machine emits electromagnetic rays that influences the heart beat, if the incubator is "on". The heart rate decrease which is a drastic problem. On the other hand the incubators are necessary for premature infants, until now scientists didnt find another or better solution.
But its stressfull for the small body of a premature infant when they switch on and off the incubator. The heart beat will in- and decrease.
10% of all births are preamture infants and its easier for them to die a cot death. Until now scientists dont know if the electromagnetic rays are blame for it.
