Description
Medical gas booms have become serious contenders to traditional headwalls in ICUs. What's lacking is a systematic objective assessment of the alternatives with consideration to the astronomical cost of booms. This can be identified through a case study involving a multi-dimensional scientific assessment of the alternatives in a 44-bed ICU. This session enables attendees to:
•Identify what clinicians prefer between medical gas booms and headwalls.
•Assess which factors to consider when deciding between the medical gas options.
•Discuss the family perception of the medical gas booms and headwalls while in the ICU.
