Neterpljachki – purchasing hardware tripods for Rivne RCH

Thanks to the kindness of the indifferent people there are now two special electrified stands for the equipment in the Rivne regional children 's hospital's department of premature born children. Thus the very important equipment for nursing the preemies is placed according to the safety regulations and the standards of noise isolation, which ensures the absence of the harmful impact of working equipment noise on the ears of little patients.

However, two electrified equipment tripods are not enough for the work of the department, since there are 4-5 kids receiving the infusion therapy at the same time. That is why we are turning for help in purchasing the two tripods for nursing the premature born children for Rivne RCH. Electrified tripod stands for the equipment are special, they are supplied with the electricity plugs. The movable equipment can be placed on its shelves or connected to the tripod, being plugged in all at the same time. What they used for in the department of intensive care and in the neonatal departments?

Nursing the premature born child is carried out in the incubator, in which it is warm and quiet, just like in the mother's womb. These conditions are met by different ways - the warmth is supplied by the incubator modes, the darkness is provided by covering the incubator with the special cloth, while the silence is provided by the personnel of the department. However, a lot of equipment is needed for nursing the premature born child, not only the incubator - for example, little-weight children require the infusion therapy- it is when the special infusion pump provides the necessary dose of the medicine with the necessary infusion speed into the vein, while at the same time the other such pump infuses the antibiotics or other necessary medications.

The newborn child can receive the invasions only by small drops. Also there is a need to control the heartbeat monitoring and the blood oxygen saturation rate - this is done by the pulse oximeter. Therefore, two or three additional devices, except for the incubator are needed to nurse a preemie. Every device has a battery, which creates a noise background when functioning. According to the recommendations of the American academy of pediatrics, the accepted noise level must not exceed 55 db. For example, the old style incubator generates the noise of 45-55 db when working, the nurse talking near the incubator adds another 65 db, placing any equipment on the incubator - another 50 db. Now imagine placing three working devices on the incubator! No battery works noiseless...

If the noise level exceeds the allowed 55 db, the child may experience the acoustic trauma, which can lead to deafness of different stages. This is especially dangerous for children, who were born prior to 32 weeks. Also, sudden noise may lead to spontaneous blood rush into the brain of the immature child... This is why it is vital to place all the equipment on the special electrified tripod stands...
