EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the historical advancements of medical care during the late 19th century. The image depicts Dr. Tarniers Couveuse pour Enfants, or incubators, in use at La Maternité Hospital in Port Royal, Paris. Introduced in 1881, these innovative devices marked a significant milestone in the care of premature and sick newborns. The hospital, established in 1860 under the patronage of the French royal family, was renowned for its pioneering approach to maternal and infant care. The incubators, designed by Dr. Tarnier, were a testament to the hospital's commitment to post-natal care and the advancement of medical technology. The incubators, which were maintained at a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius through gas heating, were a revolutionary development in the care of vulnerable newborns. Previously, premature infants had little chance of survival due to their inability to maintain body temperature outside of their mother's womb. With the introduction of these incubators, however, the odds were dramatically improved, allowing for the survival and thriving of many infants who would have otherwise perished. This photograph provides a fascinating look into the history of medical care and the advancements that have shaped the field. The use of Dr. Tarniers Couveuse pour Enfants at La Maternité Hospital in Paris represents a pivotal moment in the care of premature and sick newborns, and serves as a reminder of the incredible progress that has been made in the field of medicine over the past century and a half.
