We conducted a retrospective observational study of all transports by our national neonatal transport service to estimate direct carbon emissions produced the in 1 year time period. investigated parts journey for 501 transports-from 27 referring units 15 receiving units. These covered total 110 305.4 km. As vehicles report 293-327 g/km, over period between 32.3 and 36.1 metric tonnes were directly service. Our impact could be mitigated utilisation alternative fuels, including hydrotreated...
Noise levels above 45 dB in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and 60 during transport are recognised hazards, but protective equipment is not standard. We measured noise both settings, with without protection.
<h3>Introduction</h3> Neonatal intensive care units are high risk areas for medication errors. The complexity of the use process high-alert medications in sick neonates leads to multiple opportunities error. A safety bundle was designed assist with prescribing, preparation and administration four alert continuous infusions - HACIs (morphine, dopamine, insulin heparin), aim reduce Pharmaceutical issues (PCIs) identified before after implementation were compared. <h3>Method</h3> strategies...
