PurposeTo examine the effect of covering the incubator on environmental noise levels inside the incubator.MethodNoise level measurements were taken to measure noise outside the incubators, inside the uncovered incubators, and inside covered incubators of 24 premature infants. The sound levels and differences in patient care equipment were analyzed by means, t-tests, and ANOVA.FindingsSignificant differences were found between the covered and uncovered incubators' sound level readings. Covered incubators had lower noise level readings.ConclusionCovering incubators is one method to decrease environmental noise in the NICU.
