1. An inflatable incubator comprising: a bottom portion joined with upright side portions to enclose a volume of conditioned atmosphere and an infant patient, said bottom and side portions being constructed from opposed flexible sheets which form air chambers extending over substantially the entire area of said bottom and side portions, said air chambers when inflated adapted to support the weight of the infant patient at said bottom portion and adapted to maintain said side portions in a self-supporting upright position, a top portion connected at the periphery thereof to said side portions and including a hole defined therein, and a supply of warm conditioned air connected to said incubator, a positive air pressure being provided to the atmosphere within said incubator such that a portion of said air escapes from said hole in said top portion.

7. An inflatable incubator comprising: an incubator housing having bottom, top and side portions dimensioned to enclose the entire body of a patient, said side portions being constructed from spaced apart sheets of thin flexible material joined to form air chambers which when inflated maintain said side portions in an upright position, said air chambers when deflated allowing said incubator housing to be collapsed for storing, said air cHambers when inflated forming a confined air barrier about the patient to insulate the patient from the ambient atmosphere, an aperture formed in the top portion of said housing, means formed through said side portions for receiving a treated gas in order to maintain a treated atmosphere of said gas within said housing, and an independent air chamber disposed about the periphery of said aperture formed in the top of said housing, said independent air aperture when inflated being capable of maintaining the shape of said aperture regardless of the state of inflation of said air chamber.

8. An inflatable incubator comprising: an incubator housing having bottom, top and side portions dimensioned to enclose the entire body of a patient, said side portions being constructed from spaced apart sheets of thin flexible material joined to form air chambers which when inflated maintain said side portions in an upright position, said air chambers when deflated allowing said incubator housing to be collapsed for storing, said air chambers when inflated forming a confined air barrier about the patient to insulate the patient from the ambient atmosphere, an aperture formed in the top portion of said housing, means formed through said side portions for receiving a treated gas in order to maintain a treated atmosphere of said gas within said housing, and means for supplying warm conditioned air through said receiving means into the interior of said incubator housing for treating the patient therein.

9. An inflatable incubator comprising: an incubator housing having bottom, top and side portions dimensioned to enclose the entire body of a patient, said side portions being constructed from spaced apart sheets of thin flexible material joined to form air chambers which when inflated maintain said side portions in an upright position, said air chambers when deflated allowing said incubator housing to be collapsed for storing, said air chambers when inflated forming a confined air barrier about the patient to insulate the patient from the ambient atmosphere, an aperture formed in the top portion of said housing, means formed through said side portions for receiving a treated gas in order to maintain a treated atmosphere of said gas within said housing, and means for controlling the temperature of the atmosphere within said incubator housing.

10. An inflatable incubator comprising: an incubator housing having bottom, top and side portions dimensioned to enclose the entire body of a patient, said side portions being constructed from spaced apart sheets of thin flexible material joined to form air chambers which when inflated maintain said side portions in an upright position, said air chambers when deflated allowing said incubator housing to be collapsed for storing, said air chambers when inflated forming a confined air barrier about the patient to insulate the patient from the ambient atmosphere, an aperture formed in the top portion of said housing, means formed through said side portions for receiving a treated gas in order to maintain a treated atmosphere of said gas within said housing, and a source of warm conditioned air connected to said means for receiving a treated gas to supply a positive pressure within said incubator housing such that a portion of the conditioned air escapes through said aperture formed in the top portion of said incubator housing.

11. An inflatable incubator comprising: an incubator housing having bottom, top and side portions dimensioned to enclose the entire body of a patient, said side portions being constructed from spaced apart sheets of thin flexible material joined to form air chambers which when inflated maintain said side portions in an upright position, said air chambers when deflated allowing said incubator housing to be collapsed for storing, said air chambers when inflated forming a confined air barrier about the patient to insulate the patient from thE ambient atmosphere, an aperture formed in the top portion of said housing, means formed through said side portions for receiving a treated gas in order to maintain a treated atmosphere of said gas within said housing, and a nebulizer for supplying moist conditioned air into said nebulizer housing through said means for receiving a treated gas.
