The Impact of Noise on Patients in the ICU

Noise is unnecessary sound. In the past 50 years, the health condition of the hospital has improved, and all the studies of 1 to 3 exceed the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) regional noise guidelines 4. Consumer evaluation began to investigate patients. In their view on hospital care, how often will the area around the room become quiet during hospitalization? In 2013, the answer to this question is based on the value-added purchase score related to medical insurance It was included in the calculation. It relates to payment from Medicaid service.

Background age is an important prognostic factor for patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU), but not as important as disease severity. However, age seems to be an important independent classification standard for ICU hospital admission, and 90 years seems to be a psychological barrier for many ICU physicians. The purpose of this preliminary study was to compare the management and outcomes of patients over 90 years of age and patients under the age of 70 who received respiratory medical treatment.

Serious illnesses with less severe illness in ICUs over 80 years of age can result in a lack of ICU facilities and a more severe delay in hospitalization for seriously ill patients. The shortage of ICU hospital bed is a common problem in Korean tertiary hospital. Severe, milder elderly patients admitted to the ICU may have fewer ICU patients undergoing intensive care and may become relatively young patients. It may increase the morbidity and mortality rate of these patients. There was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups, but hospitalization for patients under 80 years of age was significantly longer than for patients over 80 years of age. This can be used for explanation. When a patient over 80 years old is transferred to the general ward because of severe disease recovery, the family usually asks to transfer to a local medical facility or hospital and then go home to take home care.
