| Core Tip |
The purpose of the study was to quantify the noise pollution in intensive care units (ICUs). The average sound levels were consistently above the World Health Organisation recommendations. Peak noise exceeded industrial noise cut-offs. Time periods with maximum noise in the ICU were identified during nursing handovers, visitations and twilight hours. The findings highlight the need to introduce measures for noise control in the ICU. |
