Why should hospitals be anti-static
Static electricity is a relatively static charge. It is a common natural phenomenon. In daily life, static electricity is generated by friction, pressure, heat, and impact. Static electricity has high voltage, low energy and great harm.
The discharge point of static electricity is often encountered in our daily life, and its harmfulness has attracted more and more attention. Medical engineering technicians should understand the hazards of static electricity in hospitals and take precautionary measures.
The main hazards of static electricity in hospitals are: because the electric field strength near the charged body reaches a certain number and discharge occurs, static electricity can cause damage to medical equipment, and its sparks can ignite some flammable and explosive items, causing explosions and Fire. Static electricity can also cause electric shock to people. When a human body approaches an electrostatic body or a charged human body approaches a grounded body, electric shock may occur. Because the electrostatic energy is very small, the electric shock itself will not cause significant harm to people, but its associated hazards may cause secondary injury accidents such as falls and falls caused by electrostatic shocks. At the same time, it will also cause nervousness or fear of the operator and the patient. Affect test results and treatment results, and may even cause psychological harm.
The harm that static electricity brings to hospitals, on the one hand, must be highly valued, and more importantly, measures must be taken to prevent and eliminate them. The medical equipment must be well grounded. The equipment must be well connected with the case and the instrument car to maintain the same potential and prevent the accumulation of electric charges in the equipment. The operator of the equipment must wear a grounded wrist strap and wear a qualified high-quality protective clothing. Electrostatic clothing to prevent the harm of static electricity and adverse effects on the human body.
