    Author: Dyson M.
    Journal: Nurs Crit Care; 1996; 1(4):194-7. PubMed ID: 9594109.
    Abstract:
    Management of the bed area in the critical care unit is important in terms of patient management and occupational safety of healthcare staff. There are many fundamental considerations concerning the design, layout and aesthetics of the bed area. The aesthetics should be an amalgamation of the expectations of patients, relatives and healthcare staff. Most of the activity is centered in the patient care area, and facilities should be designed according to ergonomic considerations.
