In 1979 a 30-bed spinal injuries unit was opened at Burwood Hospital in Christchurch, New Zealand. The design of the building included built-in environmental control facilities for tetraplegic patients. This paper outlines 10 years of experience with environmental controls in a hospital setting, and discusses some of the problems encountered. Special mention is made of ease of setting up equipment, patient interface switches, patient acceptance, and a major upgrade and modification of the original control system. Although not utilized as much as originally anticipated, a definite need for environmental controls with the spinal injuries unit has become firmly established.
1979年，新西兰克赖斯特彻奇市的伯伍德医院开设了一个拥有30张床位的脊髓损伤治疗科室。该建筑的设计包括为四肢瘫痪患者设置的内置环境控制系统。本文概述了在医院环境中使用环境控制系统的10年经验，并讨论了遇到的一些问题。特别提到了设备的易于设置、患者界面开关、患者接受度，以及对原始控制系统的一次重大升级和改造。尽管环境控制系统的使用没有达到最初预期的程度，但脊髓损伤治疗科室对环境控制的明确需求已得到牢固确立。
