odeljenje poluintenzivne nege
Termin "poluintenzivna nega" možda i nije potpun ekvivalent terminu "step-down unit" jer se tamo ne moraju smeštati isključivo bolesnici sa intenzivne nege; takođe, mnoge bolnice ni nemaju ovo odeljenje već se bolesnici sa intenzivne nege odmah prebacuju na opšte odeljenje; s druge strane, mnoge bolnice nemaju intenzivnu već samo pouintenzivnu negu. Ali ako se traži termin za odeljenje koje je negde između intenzivne nege i "obične" bolesničke sobe, to je onda poluintenzivna.
Definition from
own experience or research:
Poluintenzivna nega je odeljenje gde se smeštaju bolesnici nakon boravka u intenzivnoj nezi ali i bolesnici kod kojih je neophodno stalno posmatranje i praćenje. Poluintenzivna nega je odeljenje gde je potrebno intenzivnije lečenje i praćenje od onog koje se sprovodi u običnim bolesničkim sobama, ali ipak ne u toj meri kao na intenzivnoj nezi.
Example sentences:
Poluintenzivna nega – Ovaj deo odeljenja čine dve sobe sa ukupno 12 postelja gde se nastavlja dijagnostički i terapijski postupak bolesnika čije je lečenje započeto u JINN ili se radi o bolesnicima sa relativno urgentnim neurološkim bolestima koja ne zahtevaju kontinuiran monitoring i nadzor medicinske sestre.
