Analysis of electromagnetic spectrum from radio stations in hospital units

In intensive care units (ICUs), there is a variety of electromedical equipment (EME) sharing a small space, including with other electronic devices. Although each piece of equipment has undergone electromagnetic compatibility tests, and the manuals provide guidance on the necessary distances to avoid possible interference, some scenarios are not foreseen in practice through these tests, and currently hospitals share several sources of Radio Frequency (RF), such as smartphones, routers, among others. The objective of this article is to measure possible scenarios that idealize a hospital environment such as an ICU, CTI, among others, at UNCISAL-AL, subjecting them to RF sources. In this work, exclusively radio transmitters, verifying whether there are risks in the use of electromedical equipment and consequently of damage to hospital equipment, due to electromagnetic exposure above the immunity of these equipment.
