Tameside General Hospital - Oxygen Saturation Monitors x5

Tameside General Hospital in Ashton under Lyne is undergoing major redevelopment work as part of the Making It Better strategy for the whole of Greater Manchester. The main feature of this is a new, purpose-built children’s unit at the hospital which will contain all of the children’s services for the area in one place. 

 

In preparation for the new build being completed in 2011 the children’s units and departments are updating their equipment ready to move into the new build.

 

Oxygen Saturation Monitors enable medical staff to accurately assess the pulse rate and oxygen saturation of a patient. It is necessary to take accurate readings of oxygen in the blood for a range of breathing disorders and infections. In particular this equipment is vital for assessing children with asthma and bronchitis, to ensure enough oxygen is being absorbed by the lungs.
