Introduction: Excessive noise in the operating room has been a topic of interest since early 70s. It recognised that excessive can affect cognitive behavior and impair memory function which be health safety issue. Though different approaches have explored there remains deficit research into application modification programs within to combat issue pollution. This project aimed identify if discus...

Guidelines need to be in place to help nurses in the recovery room make appropriate and safe decisions when discharging patients to a surgical ward. Consciousness level, respiration, circulation, pain control, homeostasis and wound care should all be considered. Criteria from the Freeman Hospital provides practical guidance.

UNLABELLED There is mounting evidence that early continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) from birth is feasible and safe even in very preterm infants. However, many infants will develop respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and require surfactant treatment. Combining a non-invasive ventilation approach with a strategy for surfactant administration is important, but questions remain about the o...

BACKGROUND The present study was performed to compare the safety of sedation during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the endoscopy room versus operation room. METHODS In total, 297 patients with gastrointestinal tumors who underwent ESD from January 2011 to December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups: those who underwent ESD in the endoscopy...

OBJECTIVES Making liquid biopsy testing widely available requires a concept to ship whole blood at ambient temperatures while retaining the integrity of the cell-free DNA (cfDNA) population and stability of blood cells to prevent dilution of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) with wild-type genomic DNA. The cell- and DNA-stabilizing properties of Streck Cell-Free DNA BCT blood collection tubes (cfDN...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the bacteriological safety of preprepared endotracheal tubes in accident and emergency departments. METHODS Swabs were taken and cultured from luminal and exterior surfaces of every preprepared exposed endotracheal tube in a hospital resuscitation room. RESULTS Coagulase negative staphylococci (common skin commensals) were isolated from 50% of the tubes. No other ba...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are promising energy storage devices for portable electronics, electric vehicles, and power-grid applications. It is highly desirable yet challenging to develop a simple and scalable method for constructions of sustainable materials for fast and safe LIBs. Herein, we exploit a novel and scalable route to synthesize ultrathin nanobelts of anatase TiO2, which is resou...

In anticipation of upcoming technological advances in the operating room, it is necessary to already give thought to how humans and robots can safely interact and cooperate in the operating room of the future. In this paper, we present a supervision system, consisting of seven 3D cameras, and the according shape cropping algorithm, which allows verifying the correct setup of surgical robots, de...

Radiotherapy is cancer therapy using radiation. One of the tools used for radiotherapy Linac. Using Linac also can have a detrimental effect on radiation workers, patients, and public. The reaction cause activation around room to become radioactive. Therefore, protection needed. This research aimed measure environmental exposure as effort bunker. uses quantitative method by collecting data dire...

The use of fluoroscopy has become commonplace in many orthopaedic surgery procedures. The benefits of fluoroscopy are not without risk of radiation to patient, surgeon, and operating room staff. There is a paucity of knowledge by the average orthopaedic resident in terms proper usage and safety. Personal protective equipment, proper positioning, effective communication with the radiology techni...
