Hospital Remodeling
Includes New Recovery Room
Remodeling work, includ
ing the addition of a recovery
room for surgery patients,
waj completed recently at Sa
cred Heart hospital here.
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.

would be placed in a room or
in rooms where they could
more easily receive it. They
would be charged according
ly. However, this hospital has
not yet worked out such a
charges schedule."
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.

however.

about in her wheel chair to
get a pie in the oven, and
intimated her great curiosity
over an early Christmas pack

daughter, Mary Ellen Wil
liams. She said her family had
accused her of opening the

again. ,
Eva Couch was stopped by
