A Synopsis On NICU Evacuation Propositions

A Synopsis On NICU Evacuation Propositions


by Gregory Ward


Frequent evacuating of patients in hospitals may be necessary considering the rate of recent disastrous incidents. In the hospitals, there are patients receiving intensive care and must be handled with maximum expertise and the right equipment. NICU evacuation is often considered the most challenging procedure considering the vulnerability of these patients. If handled by untrained personnel, it may be the beginning of another disaster. As such, the staff on the NICU must receive proper training including how to control equipment as well as patients. Here is a summary of the top suggestions when evacuating patients.

Forming agreements with the hospitals and transport agencies around is vital. This means that there should be an agreement established between the hospital and the other facilities in the local to ensure that they can receive the critically injured or ill patients. Another deal should be between the transport agencies and the hospital where the agencies agree to transport the ill patients either on the ground or on air.

Infirmaries need to have sufficient machines or equipment for removing the patients. They should also train their staffs on disaster awareness to ensure the team can take measurable procedures to keep patients safe during this complex process. A coordination leader must also be available on the ground for categorization of patients and communication with the receiving ends on the procedures.

The governing authority must be included. This means that a reliable mechanism of communication ought to be established to confirm that communication is available. The bodies in governance are responsible for giving orders on evacuation and the right time to carry out the procedure. The rules are necessary and must be delivered on time to avoid obstruction in the transportation sector. Timing should include when to transport the NICU ill patients before the other patients.

Ventilators with uninterrupted electric power and oxygen flow should be available for patients with respiratory problems. This is to make sure that their function is maintained during the evacuating period and while in the shelter. The equipment must be portable and able to run on a low flow of oxygen. These machines ought to be easy to operate and safe for both the staff and patients.

If there is ample time for removing patients, a reasonable procedure should be developed. The method can involve transporting the more seriously sick patients before transporting patients who are less ill. This way, it will be easy to carry. Furthermore, the plan makes it simple and useful for receiving infirmaries to find a suitable location for each group of patients.

Prior preparation before transport is recommended. It helps to know the situation of the patient before and after transportation. Hence, preparations like medical interventions, diagnostic procedures, damage control methods, and initial stabilization must be done so that changes can be addressed.

In case the facility is not able to send an electronic copy of the medical details of a patient, there ought to be a paper record. The paper must include the identification of a patient and their list of problems. This is important for the receiving facility to know how to continue caring for the patient.
