Prematurity as now defined is not necessarily birth before an elapsed gestation time of 280 days but birth, at any time, with a weight of 5¼ Ib. or less. For preemies, the first 28 days are especially hazardous. To care for them, University of Louisville Pediatrician Billy Andrews has devised an incubator setup so complex that medical students call it his physiology lab. Andrews maintains an around-the-clock...
