A ceiling module for a newborn intensive care unit.
In a traditional intensive care unit handling of neonates in incubators is usually obstructed by a surrounding clutter of electrical cables and gas tubings used for monitoring care. To solve these problems, an overhead module, provided with electrical and gas supplies and storage facilities for monitoring equipment and apparatus, was developed. The unit is suspended from the ceiling by two columns which serve as conduits for the gas tubing system and electrical wiring separately. The unit described allows for a maximum of flexibility and convenience for care.
