Duke Hospital, InterGom Page 3 k Mary Aim Morris is sliowii setting up the wall pxygeii in this room on Minot ward. Minot, Holmes and Cushing have all been renovated to provide air-conditioning, piped oxygen and suction. The switch over to the new liquid oxygen was made on March 17. The oxygen is provided from a tank installed at the rear of tlie hospital. This tank will be able to supply oxygen to these three wards, to Reed, Hanes, In tensive Nursing and tlie Operating Room, and to other wards in the future. Tt will need re plenishing only after several months, whereas the old tanks had to be replaced each week. Also, during renovation, wiring was added on Minot, Holmes and Cushing, to allow for in stallation at a later date of a new “nurse call” system. This new P1)C entrance is enclosed and heated. The baffle is gone from the lobby, and the new entrance is equipped with automatic doors which can be opened with only a gentle push. All photograplis in this issue of InterCom are bj’ Tliad W.
