“…For ICUs, the application of this principle is recommended by authors who discuss the electricity and oxygen infrastructures. For example, [ 47 ] argue that a triple electricity entry should be considered for hospital complexes, while [ 11 ] recommend mobile emergency power generators, in addition to the static models observed in the case study. [ 33 ] set out similar proposals for oxygen supply.…”

Background Although slack is an asset to resilient hospitals, it is usually explicitly discussed only in terms of the quantity and quality of beds and staff. This paper expands this view by addressing slack in four infrastructures of intensive care units (ICUs) (physical space, electricity supply, oxygen supply, and air treatment) during the COVID pandemic. Methods The study occurred in a leading private hospital in Brazil, aiming at the identification of slack in four units originally designed as ICUs and two units adapted as ICUs. Data collection was based on 12 interviews with healthcare professionals, documents, and comparison between infrastructures and regulatory requirements. Results Twenty-seven instantiations of slack were identified, with several indications that the adapted ICUs did not provide infrastructure conditions as good as the designed ones. Findings gave rise to five propositions addressing: relationships intra and inter infrastructures; the need for adapted ICUs that match as closely as possible the designed ICUs; the consideration of both clinical and engineering perspectives in design; and the need for the revision of some requirements of the Brazilian regulations. Conclusions Results are relevant to both the designers of the infrastructures and to the designers of clinical activities as these must take place in fit-for-purpose workspaces. Top management might also benefit as they are the ultimate responsible for decision-making on whether or not to invest in slack. The pandemic dramatically demonstrated the value of investing in slack resources, creating momentum for this discussion in health services.

“…These models aim to solve hospital problems and simplify patient and resource management. To accurately analyze these models [ 21 , 22 ], programs must be implemented. Researchers optimize Resuscitation-team Activation (RA) and hospital power systems by estimating operational resilience under real-time use cases.…”

“…Additionally [ 19 , 20 ], offers a framework for signal quality-aware data analysis of IoT device data. Recently, it was suggested to employ battery-free wireless sensors for health monitoring applications [ 21 ] or to use biofuel cells to power biosensors on their own [ 22 ]. Given the challenges posed by the energy consumption needs for wearable IoT devices, this suggestion was given.…”

A NEW SCOPE OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING RELATES to ethical design and management for environmental sensitivity. This means practitioners must increasingly promote development, growth, and progress toward innovations in electrical technologies. The ecological design of power systems has to balance the active intelligence of system components with the passive intelligence of system structures. It has to combine energy saving and the rational use of power, with service continuity, quality, safety, and awareness of
