(live-PR.com) - Patients admitted into intensive care units (ICUs) are at great risk for acquiring nosocomial infections. They are susceptible to infection because of their underlying diseases or conditions associated with impaired immunity as well as several violations of their immune system or risks of aseptic mistakes in patient management during invasive monitoring and they are prone to secondary infections after exposure
to broad-spectrum antimicrobials. ICU-acquired infections are to be associated with high mortality, excessive length of ICU and hospital stay, and high hospital costs.
The mobility of toul can be used when good sterile conditions are needed in the intensive care like medication of high risk patients, application of catheterization. Toul is equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air filter (Hepa H 14) and can be used to protect immunocompromised patients in case of the absence of clean rooms. The unit is mobile and can be used in various rooms. No modification of existing hospital rooms is required.
