Moreover, in case of increasing the number of sensors for multi-point, continuous and real time temperature measurement in conventional methods, some of the problems such as monitoring of these sensors, obstructing or changing the air flow due to the confusions of these sensors and their cables in the incubator cabinet, and following these, control errors caused by these reasons, and difficulties that may be happened during the infant care and resuscitation procedures have been eliminated. Measurement errors caused by conventional sensors’ properties, which are different for each of them, change over/with time, and also change with different values, have been minimized by using this method. In this way, the insulation required for the measurements is also provided perfectly. In addition, since real time monitoring of the FBG bands were ensured with a user-friendly interface, measurement processes have been made more ergonomic. To this end, in addition to classical sensors, six FBG sensors were used during the measurements, and very close results were obtained between them (R 2 = 0.9989). In this study, the incubator air temperature, temperature uniformity and infant skin temperature were measured and controlled with conventional methods and FBG based temperature sensors, and their results and related literature results were compared among them. In the incubator environment, especially, the temperature significantly increases the survival rate of infants.

Future studies should test SSC shielded abdominal skin temperature set to 37☌. In incubators using ATC, a body temperature of 37☌ was associated with lower energy costs and greater weight gain at 11 days of life for preterm infants. The time to recover birthweight was shorter in ATC (p < 0.05). The two groups did not differ in terms of energy costs. The frequency of moderate hyperthermia was higher in ATC (p < 0.001), whereas warm and cold thermal challenges were higher in SSC (p < 0.001). The daily mean incubator air temperature was higher in ATC than SSC (p < 0.05) for the first 6 days, and the mean body temperature was higher in ATC (37.0 ± 0.03☌) than SSC (36.8 ± 0.02 p < 0.01) over the whole study period. We studied 38 incubated preterm infants for the first 11 days of life, calculating the frequency of hypothermia (37.5☌) and thermal challenge, together with energy costs, based on a change in incubator air temperature of 2☌ above or below thermoneutrality. This randomised trial compared the energy costs of providing incubated preterm infants born before 32 weeks of gestation with homeothermia using either air temperature control (ATC) or skin servocontrol (SSC).
