Abstract
General hospitals have being under the influence of various and specific environment of electromagnetic field. The factors are development of medical electric equipment and device with enlarged functional demands, in high power and multi-frequency. It has all of both faces, EMI(electromagnetic interference) and EMS(electromagnetic susceptibility). In additional, expansion of personal communication system(cellular phone) has many unreliable factor of using time and area, making noise of electromagnetic fields. We studied actual conditions of EMI in the medical site, where is numerous medical equipment, especially central operation room and ICU(intensive care unit), AKR(artificial kidney room : hemo-dialysis unit), etc. The influence, most of medical equipments made electromagnetic nosie has various factors in its band of frequency, harmonics and strength. In the experimental use of electro-surgical unit and cellular phone, noticeable and considerable noise of eletromagnetic fields were measured. All of that can make trouble and errors on the steadiness of bioelectrical devices. In conclusion, It is necessary to reconsiderations of reallocating EMI source vs. EMS factor, and set to definite forbiding area of using cellular phone. For maintenance of steady normal conditions, in spite of existing any other legal standards of safty level, it need considering all of alternative electromagnetic situations on a case-by-case basis.
일반적인 전자파환경 중에서 의료기관은 특수한 전자파환경을 형성하고 있다. 첨단전자산업의 발전과 함께 다양한 주파수와 전자계를 출력하는 의료장비는 그 출력자체가 진단이나 치료에 중요한 요소인 동시에 정밀한 장비에 교란을 줄 수 있는 요인을 지니고 있다는 점이다. 또 일반적인 휴대통신장비의 확산도 이러한 환경요인에 인자가 될 수 있다. 특히 중앙수술실이나, 중환자실, 인공신장실등의 의료장비가 밀집된 시설에서는 주파수나 강도면에서 다양한 형태의 전자파환경을 보였으며, 국내외 규정에서 정의하는 안전지침보다 사용거리나 그 강도면에서 열악한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 전기소작기 (전기메스)는 넓은 대역에 걸쳐 50㏈
