SoundEar noise warning devices cause a sustained reduction in ambient noise in adult critical care
Journal Title: Journal of the Intensive Care Society - Year 2019, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
Elevated sound levels in critical care are associated with sleep deprivation and an increased incidence of delirium. We aimed to determine whether a sound-activated visual noise display meter could cause a sustained reduction in sound levels overnight in an adult critical care unit.
