To determine if measured sound levels in the occupied level 3 single-family room (SFR) neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) will be significantly and perceptibly different from the occupied level 3 open-unit (OU) NICU.
Case-control. Comparison of sound measurements obtained with varying types of respiratory support in SFR unit with measurements obtained from OU level 3 bedside NICU.
SFR sound measurements were quieter and less loud compared with the open unit, except when high-frequency ventilation (HFV) was used.
The SFR level 3 NICU is a quieter, less loud environment compared with the open unit level 3 Bedside NICU when the patient is supported on room air, high flow nasal cannula, bubble continuous positive airway pressure and conventional ventilation. High HFV will result in similar measurements to the open unit level 3 bedside NICU.
确定占用三级单人间新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）时的测量声级是否与占用三级开放式单元（OU）NICU 有显著且可察觉的不同。
病例对照。在 SFR 单元中使用不同类型的呼吸支持获得的声级测量值与 OU 三级床边 NICU 的测量值进行比较。
与开放式单元相比，SFR 的声级测量值更安静，声音更低，除使用高频通气（HFV）时外。
与开放式单元三级床边 NICU 相比，当患者在室内空气、高流量鼻导管、气泡持续气道正压和常规通气支持下时，SFR 三级 NICU 是一个更安静、噪音更低的环境。高 HFV 将导致与开放式单元三级床边 NICU 相似的测量值。
