“…In ICUs, noises may be produced by ventilators, infusion pumps and cardiac monitors, which are vital in improving the patient’s condition. Telephone ringtones, and medical beeping instruments and alarms are tiring and bring about irritation to patients and probably lead to doctors’ mistakes and may even increase the death rate ( 11 ).…”

Abstractsstayed as long as needed if they were functioning without evidence of local or systemic complications). Results 91 patients have had a total of 136 CVCs insertions. 112 temporary and 24 permanent catheters were evaluated for CLABSI whereas 73 CVCs were evaluated for CRBSI. Mean catheter days in group I was 11.95±12.48 and 20 cases of CLABSI were recorded in 1626 catheter days, given a CLABSI rate of 12.3:1000, whereas mean catheter days in group 2 was 9.30±5.23 with 1 case of CRBSI in 679 catheter days, given a CRBSI rate of 1.47:1000. 11 Gram -, 8 Gram + and 1 fungal infection were recorded in group 1, and only 1 Graminfection in group 2. Conclusions Strict adherence to protocols in group 2 led to much lower CRBSI compared to CLABSI. Gram -infections predominated. Reducing CLABSI and CRBSI over time, after implementation of bundles of care, should be the goal. CHANGE OF HABITS AFTER YEARS OF EVIDENCE: A QUESTIONNAIRE ON NEONATAL CARE

This paper describes the analysis and simulation of a simple sound cancellation system consisting of a single point primary sound source and two cancelling sources. Conditions for the global sound attenuation along multiple axis in the system are derived and system behaviour and cancellation effects, studied through computer simulations. This study is aimed at understanding the physics of more complex active noise control systems (ANCS) consisting of higher number of secondary sources and error sensors in free field. Results provide a useful insight into ANCS performance and can therefore be used as a valuable reference point when studying and analysing the free field operation of a more complex, multi-canceller ANCS.

All rights reserved.iv DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to those hospitalized children who were willing to share their stories with me. This work was possible because of them. To Ryan, Evan, Anna, and Valerie -thank you for listening, encouraging, and understanding when work came before play. I would also like to dedicate this work to my good friend and colleague, Eve Butler. Thank you for paving the way and providing such encouragement and support.To my mom, thank you for driving me home, listening to my stories, and centering me. You have always been my biggest cheerleader and fan. Thank you for believing in me, sometimes more than I believed in myself. We do not need to scratch the 2014 date off the mugs! I love you so much. Aims: The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate school age children's and adolescents' perceptions of PICU while in the PICU; changes in perceptions after transfer to the General Care Unit (GCU); differences in perceptions of school age children/adolescents and those with more invasive procedures.Methods: Interviews were conducted in PICU within 24-48 hours of admission and 24-48 hours after transfer to GCU. Data on demographics, clinical care and number/types of procedures were obtained.Results: Participants were 7 school age children, 13 adolescents; 10 Hispanic; 13 males.
