متن کاملDynamical Models for Neonatal Intensive Care Monitoring
The vital signs monitoring data of an infant receiving intensive care are a rich source of information about its health condition. One major concern about the state of health of such patients is the onset of neonatal sepsis, a life-threatening bloodstream infection. As early signs are subtle and current diagnosis procedures involve slow laboratory testing, sepsis detection based on the monitore...

Logistical Networking is the global scheduling and optimization of data movement, storage and computation based on a model that takes into account all the network's underlying physical resources. In this paper we contrast Logistical and Active Network as approaches to flexible implementation of advanced network protocols. We describe the Internet Backplane Protocol, a simple mechanism we have d...
متن کاملPerspective of Nurses toward the Patient Safety Culture in Neonatal Intensive Care Units
Background: Infants hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are often severely ill, highly prone to various diseases, and exposed to complex and prolonged intensive care interventions. Consequently, they are susceptible to the lapses in teamwork and patient safety. Patient safety culture a fundamental step to improve patient safety. The present study aimed to evaluate the perspect...
متن کاملAssessing the Performance of Nurses in the Proper Adjustment of Monitoring Instruments in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Background: Monitoring serves to maintain physiologic variables within normal limits and when a parameter crosses a set threshold, an alarm is triggered. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether alarm limits are properly adjusted in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) by nursing staff or not.Methods: The data concerning alarm limits corresponding to the three shifts of nursing...
