Not only did human activity contribute to noise levels in the open ward but it also seemed to impact air quality as well. Gradients of particulates and CO2 were highest around the entry/nursing station of the OPEN unit and decreased with remote locations. The same measurements in the rooms of the SFR were appreciably lower and without gradient variation.
Light intensities were comparable in both facilities and controllable for day/night cycling well within the recommended range of 1 to 600 lux. However, light sources differed dramatically. Overhead fluorescent lighting was the primary source in the open ward at all times, and individual patient adjustments were made with blanket covers over isolettes. Natural light, controllable with darkening window blinds, was the primary source during daylight hours in the SFR, with artificial lighting used only for medical procedures or as ambient evening lighting. Light cycling has been shown to facilitate development of circadian sleep patterns,18, 19 to enhance earlier tolerance of enteral feeding, to decrease ventilator support and to improve movement and muscle tone.20
Comparative patient progress
Four traditional indices of neonatal patient progress, weight, length and head circumference gains during hospitalization and overall LOSs, were monitored in this study and were not significantly different with either PEMR subgroup. Anecdotal evidence from researchers suggested that these indices were all multivariate and not dependent on infant medical progress alone. In the OPEN unit, with sporadic availability of parents, procedures requiring parental consents and predischarge education were sometimes delayed when parents could not be accessed in a timely manner. Delays such as these, occurring around the time of discharge, would coincide with the more rapid growth phase of a stable infant's hospital stay20 and would bias their weight and length gains artificially higher. In addition, the earlier physiological stabilization of an infant in the SFR would lead to earlier discharge with less time in the NICU to accrue body mass and length, biasing their weights and lengths downward. These unanticipated LOS anomalies would be more influential statistically with shorter hospital stays, as seen with PEMRs 2 and 3, and may explain, in part, the lack of significant differences seen with these variables.
Although shortening the LOS in the SFR by 2 days was not statistically significant, it would be economically consequential. In a mid-sized, level III NICU admitting 700 patients per year at an average cost of $2500 per day, shortening LOS yields an annual saving of approximately $1.75 million per patient day. Furthermore, reducing TPN time and shortening time on respiratory support alone could contribute to significant economic savings
