  • Title: Disaster preparedness for the ICN: evolution and testing of one unit's plan.
    Author: Franck L, Epstein B, Adams S.
    Journal: Pediatr Nurs; 1993; 19(2):122-7. PubMed ID: 8502493.
    Abstract:
    A plan for the care of technology-dependent premature and critically ill children during a disaster or other emergency requires more guidance than a generic hospital disaster plan can offer. An intensive care nursery (ICN) devised disaster and emergency preparedness policies and procedures specific to its patient population. Staff responses to events such as loss of power, loss of medical gases, and partial evacuation are described.
