General Telephone provides a “ hot line" to hospitals
to provide 24-hour surveillance on patients in
coronarv care units Through direct telephonic
communication with a base hospital, a secondary unit
carries the same oscilloscope picture monitored in
another hospital. Whenever a change occurs on _
picture from another hospital, base hospital nurses
notify that hospital by picking up the telephone and
pressing a button that sets off a danger signal heard
at the transmitting hospital. Units are increasing in
popularity for many hospitals which cannot afford
expensive coronary care units, but need skills of
specialists. Unit provides this service through
General Telephone wires. Similar unit will be
provided in new section of Tuality Communitv
Hospital.
