Environmental Surveillance in the Operating Room

AORN Journal, 2005
Environmental cleaning in surgical settings minimizes patients' and health care workers' exposure to potentially infectious microorganisms. This article describes the implementation of an instrument designed to help nurses monitor OR environments, identify problem areas, and correct cleaning deficiencies before patient care is affected adversely ...

Environmental Surveying and Surveillance

2013
In this section, we discuss the quantitative and qualitative data that could be collected using GNSS satellites, and in so doing, attempt to answer the question “what can GNSS satellites deliver that is of use to environmental monitoring?” The observed parameters necessary for environmental monitoring vary, depending upon the indicators being assessed.

Environmental Surveillance for MRSA

2007
The role of the inanimate environment, including the air, in the transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is unclear; however, there are certain situations when evaluation of MRSA contamination of the environment is indicated.

The logic of routine environmental surveillance

American Journal of Infection Control, 1983
During the last decade the emphasis in infection control has shifted from the routine surveillance of the hospital for potential infection hazards to the early detection and investigation of outbreaks of nosocomial infections.lm5 This change in emphasis occurred as a reaction to the overutilization of environmental cultures as part of the hospital ...

Medical and environmental surveillance.

New Jersey medicine : the journal of the Medical Society of New Jersey, 1995
Comparisons and contrasts are made between medical and environmental surveillance in New Jersey. These two approaches can be used together to address questions of association and prevention in occupational and environmental medicine, a field that needs to be expanded.

Environmentally Robust Motion Detection for Video Surveillance

IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2010
Most video surveillance systems require to manually set a motion detection sensitivity level to generate motion alarms. The performance of motion detection algorithms, embedded in closed circuit television (CCTV) camera and digital video recorder (DVR), usually depends upon the preselected motion sensitivity level, which is expected to work in all ...
