Baptist Hospital Opens 27-Bad North Carolina Baptist Hospital has opened the first section of a 27 bed intensive care unit to serve critically ill patients who need con stant observation and prfoessional care. ’ The complete unit is being fi nanced by a $199,000 grant from the John A. Hartford Foundation of New York, the same foundation which has in the last few years contributed $626,810 to the hos pital for research on diseases of the kidney. . Occupying space on the fifth floor of the hospital’s South wing and composed of 12 beds, the sec tion is the result of nearly two years of study and planning by a committee of physicians, adminis trative officials, and staff members headed by Dr. LeRoy Crandall. It is the forerunner of a greatly ex panded service in which adjoining rooms will be converted into inten sive care facilities with special ar rangements for cardiac and respir atory patients. Dr. Jesse Meredith, a member of the committee, explained that the new service is available to all pa tients, admission to the unit being determined by the doctor. Six of the beds are in private rooms. The others are in cubicles separated by curtains. The beds are placed around the circumference of the almost-square unit. Nurses’ desks are arranged so that nurses can see all patients. Patients, in turn, have the reassurance of be ing able to see the nurses nearby but cannot see each other. The unit, Dr. Meredith says, has several unique features which were designed to eliminate some of the problems involved in the care of very sick persons. ror example, air conditioning out lets in the ceiling over each bed make it unnecessary to have fans for cooling when a patient has a high fever. Hooks placed in the ceiling to hold intravenous fluid bottles may be removed when not in use. Fluorescent lights over each bed are controlled by rheostats and may be dimmed to almost complete darkness or brightened to permit examinate of the patient by the physician ■— or even minor surgery. Each room has its own lavatory and toilet in a compact unit which fits into the wall and is somewhat similar to those on Pullman cars. Wiring has been installed for equipment to record blood press ure, heart rate, temperature, and other information at tHe patient’s bedside and transmit it to the nurse’s desk. However, nurses are obtaining this data in the usual manner at present and will con tinue to do so until the equipment the committee has selected becomes available. Staff members were chosen for their particular skills and given special training to prepare them for intensive care. Four persons at the nursing level are on duty at all times, one for each three patients. With the addition of intensive care, Baptist Hospital offers pa tients three types of care — mini mal, . intermediate, and intensive. This hospital and others through out the country which are serving in these three areas consider long term and home care as the remain ing steps to be taken in their pro gress toward providing complete care for the sick.
