The new recovery room at Sacred Heart hospital is in keeping with the new trend of progressive patient care, Ad ministratrix Sister Luke has announced. The recovery room is con sidered an extension of the tha operating room. The for mer doctors' lounge and medi cal library were converted to this purpose and are now be ing relocated, she said. ! Generally, all major sur gery patients would be placed In tha recovery, room follow ing operations, she said. This would not be necessary, gen erally, for minor surgery pa tients. ; Mala Purpose ... "Main purpose of the recov ery room is to prolong the im mediate and close supervision of patients who have not completely recovered from anesthesia. Their care is di rectly the responsibility of the anesthetist," Sister Luke explained. "He, too, is a, doc-.., tor.' Working -under the anes thetist's direction are a regis tered nurse and licensed prac tical nurse. Only , top person nel are selected for this job," ahe added. Tha recovery room con tains such special apparatus as oxygen equipment, a suc tion machine and blood press ure measuring equipment. "The new trend the past two years is to segregate the patients according to the cost of their care," Sister Luke said. FrograssiT Paiiant Cars - "This is progressive pa tient care.

The progressive care sys tem would help, "to regulate the cost of the hospital and would place the limited train ed personnel where they are needed and can best be used, the hospital administration said. Sacred Heart recently re finished its pediatric ward. This was financed from unso licited donations, Sister Luke said. Eight new beds were added, the ward was repaint ed; and other changes made. Health Centers Besides the progressive pa tient care. Sister Luke said she believed hospitals would become more like health cen ters in the communities. Hos pital personnel would work with health councils, Red Cross and Salvation Army. She can also see a closer con nection with hospitals and welfare homes. Future hospi tals will become rehabilita tion centers for all types of patients, she said. They will also become teaching and re search centers. Earlier this year the hospi tal purchased a hypothermic blanket for use in neuro surg ery. In February the machine was used to place a 30-year-old woman in artificial hiber nation while brain surgery was performed. The machine operates on the same principle as a refrig erator. The patient is cooled to the desired temperature af ter an anesthetic is adminis tered to prevent shivering, the body's way of raising its temperature. SPIN ROD SET 1S.9S.
