Sound Intensity00:58

Sound Intensity

4.9K
The loudness of a sound source is related to how energetically the source is vibrating, consequently making the molecules of the propagation medium vibrate. To measure the loudness of a source, the physical quantity of interest is the intensity. This is defined as the energy emitted per unit of time per unit of area perpendicular to the sound wave's propagation direction. Since the total energy is greater if the source vibrates for a longer duration and over a larger area, dividing the...

Sound Intensity Level

4.9K
Humans perceive sound by hearing. The human ear helps sound waves reach the brain, which then interprets the waves and creates the perception of hearing. The loudness of the environment in which a person is located determines whether they can distinguish between different sound sources.
The human ear can perceive an extensive range of sound intensity, necessitating the use of the logarithmic scale to define a physical quantity—the intensity level. It is a ratio of two intensities and...

Intensity Of Electromagnetic Waves01:22

Intensity Of Electromagnetic Waves

6.0K
The energy transport per unit area per unit time, or the Poynting vector, gives the energy flux of an electromagnetic wave at any specific time. For a plane electromagnetic wave with E0 and B0 as the peak electric and magnetic fields and traveling along the x-axis, the time-varying energy flux can be given by the following equation:

Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

2.0K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Clinical Pharmacy
  • Pharmacotherapy

Background:

  • The integration of hospital pharmacists into Intensive Care Units (ICUs) is crucial for optimizing patient care.
  • Routine pharmacist activity in ICUs can significantly impact medical prescriptions and patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the incorporation of hospital pharmacists into the routine activities of a medical and surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
  • To assess the impact of pharmacist interventions on medical prescriptions within an ICU setting.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective observational study was conducted in a 21-bed medical and surgical ICU.
  • Pharmacist interventions were made through daily prescription reviews and communicated to physicians.
  • Data collected included the number, type, and acceptance of interventions, drug classes, and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • A total of 194 interventions were performed on 62 patients, primarily related to safety (33%) and therapy optimization (32%).
  • Key interventions involved drug administration via nasogastric tube (19%) and pharmacokinetic monitoring (14.4%).
  • Anti-infective agents (33%) and digestive system medications (27%) were most frequently involved, with an 80% acceptance rate for interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Pharmacist integration into ICUs improves patient safety and optimizes pharmacotherapy in over 50% of patients.
  • The high acceptance rate of pharmacist interventions supports their implementation in critical care settings.
