Monitoramento dos níveis de pressão sonora na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva do Hospital Materno Infantil de Goiânia-Goiás: uma modelagem via software I-SIMPA

Abstract

Noise pollution is a problem that gets worse with the evolution of humanity, this noise that in small intensities was limited to a discomfort became a Public Health problem which makes it worrying in areas that need more attention, which is the case of areas and hospital environments, since the noise sources are not exclusive to external sources, the user also generates noise from various means, from conversations between users to the use of electronics, so it is necessary that these environments are monitored and interventions are necessary. The object of this study is Dr. Jurandir do Nascimento State Hospital Materno Infantil, in the Coimbra Sector – Goiânia – Goiás, with a 50-year history of treating pregnant patients and children. on days from Monday to Friday. Performing simulations with the acoustic engineering program I - Simpa, which proved to be efficient in predicting sound pressure levels in indoor environments, with an emphasis on the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, where its users are subject to noise pollution, with external and internal noises.
