Mobile communication and wireless data transmission are playing an increasing role in health care. Reports describing medical device malfunction related to cellular phones have raised awareness about the problem of electromagnetic interference. Although initial institutional responses were to ban cellular devices in hospitals, these restrictions are relaxing as the knowledge base in this area expands. Medical device malfunction is extremely rare if the distance from the transmitting device is greater than 1 m. This article reviews the current understanding of electromagnetic interference as it applies to the technology-rich critical care environment.
移动通信和无线数据传输在医疗保健领域正发挥着越来越重要的作用。描述与手机相关的医疗设备故障的报告提高了人们对电磁干扰问题的认识。尽管最初各机构的反应是在医院禁止使用移动设备，但随着该领域知识基础的扩大，这些限制正在放宽。如果与发射设备的距离大于1米，医疗设备出现故障的情况极为罕见。本文综述了目前对电磁干扰的理解，及其在技术丰富的重症监护环境中的应用。
