Why are you not allowed to bring your mobile phone into ICU?

1, most mobile phones have the function of taking photos and videos, and critically ill patients treated in ICU have to receive various treatments and nursing care every day.

In this case, if someone enters the ICU with a mobile phone and shoots without permission, it is likely to violate the privacy of patients and even endanger their mental health.

2. It is found that many mobile phones used by medical staff working in ICU may carry bacteria, which are mostly nosocomial infections and have different degrees of drug resistance.

It can be seen that mobile phones are likely to become the carrier of pathogen transmission, and there is a risk of cross-infection when brought into ICU.

Mobile phones will emit electromagnetic waves when talking or waiting, but at present, the frequency of electromagnetic waves emitted by mobile phones and mobile communication base stations

(usually 900MHz or 1800MHz) is almost the same as the electromagnetic wave frequency emitted by medical equipment, so theoretically, the use of mobile phones may indeed have an adverse impact on the operation of medical equipment.
