Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design for Pediatric and Neonatal Critical Care provides an overview of the design and research issues associated with the development of environments for pediatric and neonatal intensive care. This is the first and only book dedicated to this topic and was created to support individuals interested in developing and studying critical care environments for children and their families. In addition to a detailed analysis of the literature from research and practice, the author provides a summary of the historical development of critical care for infants and children, and information regarding the role of PICUs and NICUs in the critical care system. A discussion of current codes and future trends is also provided. Design for Pediatric and Neonatal Critical Care includes essays from prominent voices in the field ranging from inspired young architects and researchers to world-renowned healthcare design and research icons. Illustrations of work that has been identified as exemplary or representative of recent directions are included, which will help those planning new or remodeled projects to identify and examine precedents. This book is intended to help designers and researchers enhance healing environments for young patients in critical care settings and provide information in support of the families and staff who provide care for these children and infants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of the physical space of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) has been proposed as a target for intervention to improve neonatal outcomes. Most NICUs are currently designed so that infants are cared for in a shared space which is commonly referred to as an open bay design. The purpose of this study was to identify the cost-effective NICU design from a Canadian public payer perspective using a lifetime time-horizon. The study used a decision model approach informed by individual participant data for estimating the baseline history of disease and the impact of morbidities on length of stay. Efficacy parameters were informed through analysis from an ongoing randomized controlled trial (RCT) of single-family room design and a systematic and targeted literature search. Meta-analysis of efficacy parameters was conducted using a multivariate network meta-analysis. A stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis (SMAA) was conducted to provide an additional perspective limited to clinical outcomes of alternative room designs in addition to an ordinal ranking of their degree of family centeredness. The network meta-analysis included a total of 25 studies (2 RCTs, 23 observational studies) evaluating old open bay, new open bay, half-wall, private room, combined single-family room and open bay, and single-family room only designs. When using a life-time horizon all designs had a higher expected value of net monetary benefit than old open bay designs although there was substantial uncertainty in relative ranking and the probability that any given design was cost-effective. Half-wall designs had the highest mean expected value of net monetary benefit over a wide range of values of willingness to pay. Conclusions were robust to sensitivity analyses, including the results of the SMAA. Results were limited by the strong assumptions required to create a connected network that assessed all outcomes of interest. The decision to undertake new construction and the decision on which design aspects to integrate should reflect the complex and multi-factorial nature of the decision problem.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: In healthcare environments, elements like nature, daylight and sound have been found to significantly influence the healing process of patients, by enhancing the quality of their recovery, shortening their hospital stay and consequently reducing hospital costs. For instance, it has been shown that exposure to nature triggers positive responses in people, daylight affects human psychology, and different sounds have varying behavioral effects on different groups of people. But, while these effects have been carefully studied in adult patients, leading to clear design standards, less is known about their impact on premature infants. Interestingly, the care that many newborns receive in Neonatal Intensive Care Units provides countless benefits, but there are also many aspects of it that can cause stress to babies, staff and families. Exposure to continuous light, high levels of noise, separation from their mothers, minimal physical contact and painful procedures are all stressful factors that can have tremendous effects on a baby's recovery. So, while highly specialized treatments can greatly improve a newborn's medical condition, physical surroundings are rarely regarded as influential in his or her care. This thesis exploration focuses on the design of a Women's and Infant's Medical Center prototype where the emphasis will be to promote well-being and healthy development through the physical environment. Attention will be given to the controversial effects of natural light on babies and its benefit will be determined through analysis of collected evidence. Equally, noise sources and methods to control it will be explored in order to minimize stress and discomfort in newborns. Finally, the importance of access to the natural environment will be studied, and even though this would normally not be directly associated with a baby's healing process, it could be an essential factor in the well-being of mothers and caregivers, which in turn will benefit the baby. Through evidence, research, analysis and a prototype design various strategies will be developed to demonstrate how the proposed elements (access to nature, daylight, and noise control) could successfully be integrated into a NICU setting. The resulting environment should promote faster recovery and healthier development of babies, both directly and via their caregivers (parents and medical staff).
Download or read book Neonatal Intensive Care written by H.E. Ulmer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significant strides made during the past decade in neonatal medicine are based largely upon the provision of intensive perinatal care to the parturient, her fetus, and the newborn. In addition to technologic advances in the bioelec tronic monitoring of the fetus and newborn, the introduction of noninvasive methods to monitor oxygenation, the pharma cologic manipulation ofthe ductus arteriosus and pulmonary vasculature, and the use of ultrasonographic diagnosis of congenital heart defects and other lesions, intensive efforts by neonatal specialists throughout the world have also contri buted to the decline in neonatal and infant mortality. Professors Wille and Obladen have provided an authoritative manual outlining intensive care of newborns and the ways in which the science of neonatal medicine, the technology of the 1980 s, and the art of application have resulted in the practice of neonatal intensive care at the Kinderklinik of the University of Heidelberg. The English translation resulted from the success of the German edition and will serve well the needs of the English-speaking student and practitioner of neonatal intensive care. T.
