Many hospitals prohibit the carrying and use of mobile phones in the ICU for the privacy and health of patients and medical staff: 1. Most mobile phones have photo and video functions. If you enter the ICU without permission, Allowing filming is likely to violate the patient's privacy and even harm the patient's mental health. 2. Research has found that many mobile phones used by medical staff working in ICUs may carry bacteria. Mobile phones are likely to become a carrier for the spread of pathogenic bacteria. Bringing mobile phones into the ICU carries the risk of cross-infection.
However, completely banning the use of mobile phones in the ICU is not the best solution, because mobile phones can help patients contact doctors faster and facilitate patients to query needed medical information. I believe that with the improvement of civilized concepts, science and technology, and medical standards, mobile phones will also become part of medical equipment. Then, "whether mobile phones can be used in the ICU" will also become a false proposition.
