CO₂ Distributions in an ICU with Modified Nightingale Type Layout

Abstract:

This 2-phase study was carried out in an adult medical ICU with modified Nightingale type layout at a medical center in central Taiwan. Among 17 wards, 8 were selected for sampling test. The averages of CO₂ level in both phases met the legal requirement. A significant difference of CO₂ concentration was found among different locations of the sampling wards. The top two occurred in the location of off the circulation (Ward E) and facing the entrance (Ward A), the lowest occurred in the middle of the circulation (Ward C and G). Significant associations were found between CO₂ concentration and number of visitors in 5 sampling wards, except Ward C and G.
