The interference in the neonatal intensive care area is mainly due to the crowding of medical equipment that the patient must count on to save his life. The objective of this work is to analyze the behavior of the magnetic field generated by medical equipment, according to its placement and quantity, in a neonatal care area. To carry it out, a gaussmeter was used, following a measurement methodology used by this team in previous research. It was obtained as a result that the electromagnetic environment of the area complies with the recommendations of the International Commissions on non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), but not with the limits established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for electromagnetic compatibility. Recommendations were issued to reduce these values, concluding that the separation between equipment is the most recommended and effective method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The work reveals the study of the electromagnetic environment in several computer laboratories belonging to the Universidad Tecnológica de La Habana "José Antonio Echeverría" (CUJAE). The main objective is to analyze the behavior of the existing magnetic field in these laboratories, taking into account the different situations that may arise. For the measurement of the magnetic field, the gaussimeter model PCE-G28 was used and for the characterization of the magnetic field of the laboratories a measurement protocol was developed, based on the analysis of international standards. The results obtained between 0,01 µT and 9,31 µT reflect the areas of greatest intensity, generally coinciding where the electrical protection panel is located and where the power supply enters the laboratories. Although the measurements do not exceed the limits recommended by International Commissions on non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) in 2010, some prevention measures were recommended as a result of the characteristics observed during the days of measurement.
