Temp control is one reason we need positioning consistency in our unit. A baby well contained in Z-Flo should be warmer because both surrounding air currents and infant heat loss are reduced. So turning down incubator heat output is an option, like w...
We've done a few x-rays on Z-Flo if just for line placement, but not where air accumulation can make a difference (lung fields, KUB, etc). And even x-rays for line placement are usually examined for whatever is visible, so x-ray through Z-Flo is not ...
