Recommendations and standards for building and testing an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) electrical installation / Συστάσεις και πρότυπα για την οικοδόμηση και την δοκιμή της ηλεκτρικής εγκατάστασης στις Μονάδες Εντατικής Νοσηλείας

Χριστοδούλου, Χριστόφορος 09 January 2012 (has links)
The Intensive Care Unit, well known as ICU, is a specialized section of a hospital that provides comprehensive and continuous care (treatment and monitoring) for persons who are critically ill or in an unstable condition and who can benefit from treatment. The importance of this specific area of the hospital can be also understood from the amount and variety of the equipment that is installed inside. Therefore the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) should provide both continuous fault-free equipment operation and enhanced electrical safety for the patients and the medical staff. The main objective of the thesis is to study and design the electrical installation and the dedicated devices of a sample ICU, according to the latest European regulations and standards. In the first introductory chapter is described the main ICU medical equipment, patient modules, areas and utilities. The second chapter contains the Main Standards, Directives and Recommendations related to the building installing and testing of the ICU electrical installation and dedicated equipment. Chapter three described general the electrical safety in the ICU and the methods and means of protection against an Electrical shock. The next chapter reviews the methods and means of protection against an Equipment Malfunction and against Mains power failure. The fifth chapter is the design of a sample ICU Area including main power electrical installation and dedicated protection and monitoring devices. The last chapter includes the electrical safety tests of the installed system and dedicated devices and also the value limitations according to the European Standards and Regulations. / Η Μονάδα Εντατικής Θεραπείας, γνωστή ως ICU, είναι ένα εξειδικευμένο τμήμα του νοσοκομείου που παρέχει πλήρη και συνεχή φροντίδα (θεραπεία και παρακολούθηση) στα πρόσωπα που αντιμετωπίζουν κρίσιμα προβλήματα υγείας ή βρίσκονται σε μια ασταθή κατάσταση. Ο εξειδικευμένος εξοπλισμός της χωρίς καμία αμφιβολία μπορεί να επιφέρει πολύ θετικά αποτελέσματα στον ιατρικό τομέα Η λειτουργία και η σημασία της μονάδας, αναμφίβολα μπορούν να διαφανούν και από τον άριστο εξοπλισμό που διακατέχει. Είναι βέβαιο ότι μέσα από την συγκεκριμένη μονάδα θεραπείας μπορεί να δοθεί στον ασθενή η κατάλληλη σημασία έτσι ώστε να μπορεί να γιατρευτεί. Ο άρτια εξοπλισμός που υπάρχει μπορεί να επιφέρει άριστα αποτελέσματα. Συνεπώς, η Μονάδα Εντατικής Θεραπείας (ICU) πρέπει να συνεχίσει την απρόσκοπτη λειτουργία της και συνάμα την ενίσχυση του εξοπλισμού της, έτσι ώστε να υπάρχει ενισχυμένη ηλεκτρική ασφάλεια τόσο για τους ασθενείς όσο και για το ιατρικό προσωπικό. Ο κύριος στόχος της διατριβής είναι η μελέτη και ο σχεδιασμός της ηλεκτρικής εγκατάστασης και δείγμα των αποκλειστικών συσκευών της μονάδα, σύμφωνα με τις τελευταίες ευρωπαϊκές προδιαγραφές. Στο πρώτο εισαγωγικό κεφάλαιο, περιγράφεται ο βασικός εξοπλισμός της μονάδας και η ιατρική που παρέχεται. Ακολούθως στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο περιλαμβάνονται οι κύριοι κανόνες, οδηγίες και οι συστάσεις που σχετίζονται με την εγκατάσταση του κτιρίου. Επίσης γίνεται αναφορά στον έλεγχο της ηλεκτρικής εγκατάστασης και του ειδικού εξοπλισμού της μονάδας. Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο περιγράφεται η γενική ηλεκτρική ασφάλεια στη μονάδα, με ιδιαίτερη αναφορά στις μεθόδους και στα μέσα προστασίας από ηλεκτροπληξία. Στη συνέχεια στο επόμενο κεφάλαιο εξετάζεται το κατά πόσο οι μέθοδοι και τα μέσα προστασίας μπορούν να είναι λειτουργικά έναντι των δυσλειτουργιών που μπορεί να προκληθεί από την διακοπή ρεύματος. Για την όσο καλύτερη λειτουργία της μονάδας γίνεται αναφορά στο πέμπτο κεφάλαιο, όπου γίνεται νύξη για τον σχεδιασμό του χώρου της μονάδας, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των κύριων ηλεκτρικών εγκαταστάσεων συσκευών προστασίας και παρακολούθησης. Μέσα από μια εκτεταμένη ανασκόπηση, έρευνα και πληθώρα πειραμάτων στο τελευταίο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζονται οι ηλεκτρικές δοκιμές ασφαλείας του εγκατεστημένου συστήματος, οι ειδικές συσκευές, σύμφωνα πάντα με τα Ευρωπαϊκά πρότυπα και κανονισμούς.

Risk factors for extubation failure in the intensive care unit

Silva-Cruz, Aracely Lizet, Velarde-Jacay, Karina, Carreazo, Nilton Yhuri, Escalante-Kanashiro, Raffo January 2018 (has links)
Objective: To determine the risk factors for extubation failure in the intensive care unit. Methods: The present case-control study was conducted in an intensive care unit. Failed extubations were used as cases, while successful extubations were used as controls. Extubation failure was defined as reintubation being required within the first 48 hours of extubation. Results: Out of a total of 956 patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit, 826 were subjected to mechanical ventilation (86%). There were 30 failed extubations and 120 successful extubations. The proportion of failed extubations was 5.32%. The risk factors found for failed extubations were a prolonged length of mechanical ventilation of greater than 7 days (OR = 3.84, 95%CI = 1.01 - 14.56, p = 0.04), time in the intensive care unit (OR = 1.04, 95%CI = 1.00 - 1.09, p = 0.03) and the use of sedatives for longer than 5 days (OR = 4.81, 95%CI = 1.28 - 18.02; p = 0.02). Conclusion: Pediatric patients on mechanical ventilation were at greater risk of failed extubation if they spent more time in the intensive care unit and if they were subjected to prolonged mechanical ventilation (longer than 7 days) or greater amounts of sedative use. / Revisión por pares / Revisión por pares

Ondersoek na redes waarom opgeleide intensiewesorgverpleegkundiges buite die intensiewesorgomgewing werk

Coetzee, Laetitia 01 January 2002 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / In hierdie beskrywende, verkennende en kontekstuele studie is ondersoek gedoen na redes waarom opgeleide intensiewesorgverpleegkundiges uit die intensiewesorgomgewing bedank en buite die intensiewesorgomgewing werk in die noordelike gedeelte van Gauteng. Doelwitte vir die studie was om die faktore te bepaal wat bydra tot die bedanking uit die intensiewesorgeenheid, die identifisering van die nie-verpleegkundige beroepe wat tans beoefen word en die bepaling van die faktore wat bydra tot die beoefening van 'n nie-verpleegkundige beroep. Die data is ingesamel deur middel van 'n vraelys wat voltooi is deur opgeleide intensiewesorgverpleegkundiges wat bedank het uit die intensiewesorgomgewing. Die sneeubalsteekproeftegniek is gebruik. Die data-analise het getoon dat redes vir bedanking uit die intensiewesorgomgewing die volgende insluit: onvoldoende salarisse, te veel stres en emosionele uitputting, ongerieflike werkure, personeeltekort en onbevredigende werkomstandighede. Daar is bevind dat verpleeg-sessiewerk steeds deur die respondente gedoen word, al werk hulle huidig voltyds buite die intensiewesorgomgewing. / In this exploratory, descriptive and contextual study research has been done to establish the reasons why intensive care nursing personnel resign from the intensive care environment in the northern Gauteng region. The researcher aimed to establish the factors that contributed to the resignations from the intensive care environment, to identify the non-nursing careers currently being practised by former intensive care nursing staff and to establish the factors that influenced them to practice non-nursing careers. The data was collected through questionnaires completed by former intensive care nursing personnel. The snowball test sampling method has been used. Data analysis has shown the following to be inter alia the reasons for the resignations from the intensive care environment: insufficient income, exhaustion and emotional stress, inconvenient working hours, staff shortages and unsatisfactory working conditions. One finding is that respondents are still doing nursing session work although they are working full-time in nonnursing capacities. / Health Studies / M.A. (Verpleegkunde)

The knowledge of critical care nurses regarding intra-aortic balloonpump counterpulsation therapy

Oosthuizen, Phillippus Johannes 01 1900 (has links)
Intra-aortic balloonpump (IABP) counterpulsation therapy is a volume displacement device designed to provide partial assistance to the left ventricle of the heart. Critical care nurses are expected to manage IABP therapy. It is therefore important that the critical care nurse has the knowledge to manage IABP therapy in a safe and therapeutic manner. The question arises: does the critical care nurse have the knowledge to manage IABP therapy? The purpose of this research study is to explore and describe the knowledge of the critical care nurse regarding the management of IABP therapy. The design of this research study is a quantitative, descriptive and contextual study, in which a sample survey was performed, using a questionnaire (based on a literature study) under controlled conditions. The knowledge of the majority of critical care nurses tested was found to be insufficient. Safe management guidelines and in-service training have been proposed to improve the situation. / lntra-aortiese ballonpomp (IABP) teenpulsasie terapie is 'n volume verplasings apparaat, antwerp om gedeeltelike ondersteuning aan die linker ventrikel van die hart te bied. Kritiekesorgverpleegkundiges is verantwoordelik vir die hantering van rASP terapie. Die vraag ontstaan: beskik die kritiekesorgverpleegkundige oor voldoende kennis rakende die hantering van IABP terapie? Die doel van hierdie studie is om die kennis van kritiekesorgverpleegkundiges te ondersoek en te beskryf rakende die hantering van IABP terapie. Die resultate van hierdie navorsingstudie dui daarop dat die meerderheid kritiekesorgverpleegkundiges wat getoets was oor onvoldoende kennis beskik ten opsigte van IABP terapie. Formulering van riglyne en indiensopleiding is aanbeveel om hierdie situasie te verbeter. Die navorsingsontwerp is kwantitatief, beskrywend en kontekstueel van aard, waartydens 'n gerieflikheidsteekproeftrekking gedoen is, met gebruik van 'n vraelys (gebasseer op 'n literatuurstudie) onder gekontrolleerde toestande. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing Science)
