• Amathrekhi afika ebholiwe kusengaphambili futhi afaka zonke izinto ezidingekayo ukuze kube lula ukuwafaka kumagridi ophahla.
• Imiklamo eguquguqukayo isekela ukwakheka okuqondile, okugobile, kanye nezicathulo zehhashi, okuhlangabezana nezidingo zesikhungo ezahlukahlukene.
• Izindandatho ezinelungelo lobunikazi ezindwangu zivumela ukulengiswa nokususwa ngokushesha, okuvumela abasebenzi ukuthi bashintshe amakhethini ngaphandle kwezitebhisi.
• Lezi zinhlelo zifanelana nophahla oluningi kanye nemizila ekhona, zithuthukisa ukusebenza kahle futhi zinciphise izindleko zabasebenzi.
• Ama-hook namaketanga endabuko awahambisani kahle futhi adinga umzamo omkhulu wokushintshanisa, okuvame ukubangela umsindo nokubambezeleka.

Ukufaneleka kwe-ICU, Amakamelo Ahlanganyelwe, kanye Nezindawo Ezikhethekile

Indawo Yesibhedlela	Izici Ezifanele Zezinto Zekhethini	Izinto Okufanele Uzicabangele Zokuklama Nokusebenza	Izindinganiso Zokuphepha Nokuhlanzeka
Izindawo ze-ICU kanye nezindawo ezisengozini enkulu	Izindwangu ezilwa namagciwane, izinto eziqinile, izinketho ezingasetshenziswa	Amaphaneli acacile okuqapha nokunciphisa umsindo wezindwangu	Ukuhlanzeka okuqinile, okuvimbela ilangabi, ukushintshwa njalo
Amakamelo Ahlanganyelwe	Izindwangu ezilula ukuzihlanza, ama-mesh tops, amaphethini okuzola	Ukumbozwa okugcwele kwemibhede ephakeme, amaphakethe akhelwe ngaphakathi ezimpahla	Ukuhlanza njalo, linganisela ubumfihlo nokugeleza komoya nokukhanya
Izindawo Ezikhethekile	Izinhlobo nosayizi abangenziwa ngezifiso, amakhethini esitayela se-accordion	Imizila efakwe ophahleni noma odongeni, amakhethini anezinhlangothi ezimbili ukuze akwazi ukuzivumelanisa nezimo	Ukuthobela imithetho yokuphepha komlilo, izinhlelo zethrekhi zisekela isisindo kanye nokusetshenziswa njalo

Izindwangu ezilwa namagciwane zisiza ukulawula ukutheleleka ezindaweni zokunakekelwa kwabantwana abagula kakhulu nasezindaweni ezinobungozi obukhulu. Amakhethini agcina ilangabi avikela iziguli nabasebenzi. Amakhethini alahlwayo zisebenza kahle kakhulu ezindaweni ezinengozi enkulu yokungcoliswa. Izikhungo kumele zivumelanise izici zamakhethini nezidingo zendawo ngayinye ukuze kuphepheke futhi kusebenze kahle.

Ukukhetha ikhethini lezokwelapha elifanele kuqinisekisa ubumfihlo, ukuvikelwa kwamagciwane, kanye nokuvimbela ilangabi. Izibhedlela kufanele zivumelanise izinto zekhethini nezidingo zendawo ngayinye futhi zilandele izinqubo zokuhlanza.

Ukubuyekezwa okuvamile kusiza izikhungo ukuthi zigcine ukuphepha kanye nokuthobela imithetho.
Ikhethini lezokwelapha elikhethwe kahle lisekela isithunzi sesiguli kanye nokuvimbela ukutheleleka.

Imibuzo Evame Ukubuzwa

Iyini isheduli enconywayo yokufaka esikhundleni samakhethini obumfihlo bezokwelapha?

Izikhungo zokunakekelwa kwempilo kufanele zishintshe amakhethini angasetshenziswa kabusha njalo ezinyangeni ezintathu kuya kweziyisithupha. Amakhethini alahlwayo adinga ukushintshwa ngemva kwesiguli ngasinye noma lapho ebonakala engcolile. Ukushintshwa njalo kusekela ukulawulwa kokutheleleka.

Ingabe amakhethini alwa namagciwane ayasebenza kuzo zonke izifo ezibangelwa amagciwane esibhedlela?

Amakhethini alwa namagciwane anciphisa amabhaktheriya kanye namanye amagciwane. Angase angawaqedi wonke amagciwane, ikakhulukazi ama-spores afana ne-C. difficile. Izikhungo kufanele zihlanganise amakhethini alwa namagciwane kanye nokuhlanza okuvamile.

Ingabe amakhethini ezokwelapha angaphinde asetshenziswe noma alahlwe ngendlela eqhubekayo?

Amakhethini amaningi alahlwayo asebenzisa i-polypropylene engasetshenziswa kabusha. Izikhungo zingabambisana nezinhlelo zokusebenzisa kabusha noma zikhethe izinketho ezibolayo. Ukuqeqeshwa kwabasebenzi kuqinisekisa ukulahlwa okufanele futhi kusekela imigomo yokusimama.
