Trafford General Hospital - Oxygen Analyser
UPDATE: The unit opened in 2010.
Trafford General Hospital in Manchester is planning major changes to the services it offers local children, with a new, state of the art 24-hour Paediatric Observation and Assessment Unit due to open in 2009. This will offer children in Trafford the chance to be treated in a dedicated unit by experienced, trained paediatric staff.
Located next to the adult A&E department, but operating as a separate facility, it will be equipped with child-specific items and will offer more than a traditional Casualty Department, with children being observed and treated for up to six hours before being discharged under the care of the Community Nursing team.
Oxygen Analysers 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.
Beneficiaries: Children and babies needing emergency care.
Total: £400
