Zusammenfassung:Methods and apparatus are described herein for analyzing gas samples obtained from an interior of a neonatal incubator. In various embodiments, a neonatal gas analysis apparatus (110) may include: a gas sampler (112) to obtain one or more samples of gas from a neonatal incubator (100); a preconditioner (116) configured to capture, concentrate, and/or isolate various types of molecules from the one or more samples of gas; a gas analyzer (114) configured to analyze the isolated molecules and provide one or more signals of one or more health indicators based on the analysis; and/or a reliability indicator (128) to provide a signal indicative of reliability of the gas samples. In some embodiments, a user interface (126) may be provided to output indicative of the one or more health indicators. In some embodiments, a vital signs component (132) and/or an air quality controller (136) may also be provided.
