    Whole-Body Vibration Exposure from Incubators in the Neonatal Care Setting: A Review
    Author(s): Margaret McCallig*

    The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that approximately 1 in 10, or 15 million babies are born prematurely worldwide each year. Neonatal intensive care forms a vital component of the survival chances of premature babies; whether from an inter orintra-hospitalsetting. Incubators by their design, emit vibration that potentially can have a negative impact on the neonate. ISO 2631-1:1997 details comprehensive methodologies for the measurement of whole body vibration and outlines a Comfort Scale Rating for determining severity of exposure. Whilst legislation exists from an occupational perspective, there are currently no legal limits with regards whole body vibration exposure to the neonate. The majority of the existing studies have limitations with regards sample sizes, use of neonates versus use of mannequins and transport modes. However, the vibration emission data collected an..
