Background
Aerosol generating medical procedures (AGMPs) are common during newborn resuscitation. Neonates with respiratory viruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection may pose a risk to healthcare workers....

Smartphone monitoring of in-ambulance vibration and noise (2021)
Journal Article
Partridge, T., Gherman, L., Morris, D., Light, R., Leslie, A., Sharkey, D., McNally, D., & Crowe, J. (2021). Smartphone monitoring of in-ambulance vibration and noise. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 235(4), 428-436. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954411920985994

Transferring sick premature infants between hospitals increases the risk of severe brain injury, potentially linked to the excessive exposure to noise, vibration and driving-related accelerations. One method of reducing these levels may be to travel... Read More about Smartphone monitoring of in-ambulance vibration and noise.
