"Accurate identification of medical alarm sounds can be life-saving, but current standard alarms are difficult to learn. One issue is that these alarms, despite having different melodies, possess highly similar tonal qualities. This makes it hard to distinguish, for example, an alarm indicating an abnormal heart rate from one denoting abnormal oxygen saturation. To ease interpretation, researchers have developed new auditory icon alarms. These real-world sounds are associated with the processes they represent, such as the sound made by pills rattling in a bottle to indicate a drug administration issue or the sound of assisted breathing to denote abnormal ventilation parameters. The intuitive reaction to such sounds should make the icon alarms easier to identify than standard alarms, creating new possibilities to improve patient safety. The team tested the usability of the icons in a simulated intensive care unit..."

"Infectious microbes don’t stop at the hospital door upon admission. Hospital surfaces serve as a reservoir of microbial life that may colonize patients, resulting in healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). The most vulnerable are critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), where HAIs represent the leading cause of death. Unfortunately, little is known about how the microbiome of the ICU is established or how it is influenced over time. A new study took advantage of a unique opportunity to examine the evolution of the ICU microbiome. Researchers examined microbes isolated from ICU surfaces before, during, and after hospital renovations closed the unit. Using DNA sequencing, they found that the greatest bacterial diversity existed before ICU closure..."

"Tracheal intubation can be life-saving, but the procedure’s outcome largely depends on where it’s performed. Intubations carried out under elective conditions in the operating room tend to produce better results than those executed under emergency conditions in the intensive care unit. But it’s not clear what factors lead to these differences. To shed light on the issue, researchers from the Clinical University Hospital of Santiago, Spain, conducted a prospective, observational study comparing intubation conditions between the OR and ICU. The results help uncover the circumstances important to success. The study, which took place over 33 months, evaluated 208 patients who underwent two separate instances of tracheal intubation using direct laryngoscopy. The first procedure occurred in the OR and the second in the ICU. For inclusion, both intubations had to be performed within a 1-month period..."
