“…Many methods have been used to reduce NICU. These; the use of ear plugs (19) and ear muff (20), the use of sound-absorbing panels (21)(22)(23), the use of susceptible alarm systems (24,25), the program for noise reduction, architectural configuration and training initiatives (16,26,27). One such intervention is through the education of personnel in the unit.…”

Para os hospitais de ensino no Brasil, o presente relato vem contribuir com a apresentação de formas potenciais de planejamento participativo, para o engajamento e ampliação dos compromissos da equipe ali atuante no controle do ruído.…”
