Many hospitals prohibit the carrying and use of cell phones in the ICU from the perspective of the privacy and health of patients and medical staff: 1. Most cell phones are equipped with photographic and video functions, and if you enter the ICU without permission to take pictures, it is likely to invade the patient's privacy, and may even pose a risk to the patient's mental health. 2. Studies have found that many of the medical staff working in ICUs use cell phones that may carry bacteria. Cell phones are likely to carry bacteria, and cell phones are likely to be carriers of pathogenic bacteria, and there is a risk of causing cross-infection by bringing cell phones into the ICU.
However, completely banning the use of cell phones in ICUs is not the best solution, because cell phones can help patients contact their doctors faster and make it easier for them to find the medical information they need. I believe that with the concept of civilization, science and technology, medical level of improvement, cell phones will also become part of the medical equipment, then, "in the ICU whether the use of cell phones" will also become a pseudo-proposition.
