Monitored Bed Unit Has Heart

During the month of February, each year everyone is made more aware of heart disease and related problems because February has become recognized

as Hear* Month.

At Burdette Tomlin Memorial Hospital, there is a team of workers who feel every day of every month is Heart Day. They are the staff of the Monitored Bed Uhlt, Second Floor South, in the

Cardiac Wing.

"In this unit, there are two rooms of two beds each • each room with its own nurse. Each bed has a heart monitoring unit over the head of the bed where the patient's vital signs constantly appear. The same signals are transmitted to a console at the Nurses' Station so that if, a nurse is not in the room, the mrse at the desk notes any changes in the patient's condition; stated Ms. Candy Young, R.N., Nursing

Supervisor of the unit.

A patient stays in the Monitored Bed Unit as long as his vital signs indicate that this constant surveillance and care are necessary. There is no particular time of the year

provides a relief from attack, but individuals can

them by using common sense during the extreme cold or heat at which time activity should be done in moderation. Excessive activity may result in a heart

attack.'

In the hall outside the Monitored Bed Unit is a bright red nurses' cart, commonly called "The Crash Cart". It can be taken anywhere in the hospital should a patient go into canMc arrest or attack, and the nurse from M.B.U. can provide immediate emergency care until a . physician arrives. Other professionals who automatically respond to a Code A, or medical emergency are: doctors, nurses, orderlies and representatives from the Respiratory Therapy and Anesthesia Departments who are currently available. The nursing staff in M.B.U. have received many hours of specialized training in Coronary care and must keep up with current care by participating in courses and seminars. The standards for these particular nurses are very high. Due to the serious condition of the patients in this unit, special regulations mutt be maintained. A very definite set of orders has been prepared and is signed by the physician which allows the nurses in this unit to administer medications when the vital signs indicate a need and before a physician can be stmmooed

Ms. v oung emphasized that they must think of their patients first, but realize this is also a hard time for relatives so they try to be available to answer questions at all times. She said, "Visiting hours in the Monitored Bed Unit is limited to five minutes per hour during the hours! :00 to 3:00 P.M. and6:00to 8:00 P.M., but we discourage visiting if the patient is asleep; since rest is an essential part of his care. Also since all patients remain in bed and are on restricted diets — all personal clothing, items and the like are sent home. We do encomge families to call and inquire about the patient whatever the time and we will give a report on his or her condition." Relatives are provided with a copy of "Visitors Rules for M.B.U. Patients" which contains these and other pertinent rules as well as the units’ telephone

number. "Moat people understand that these rules and regulations are needed to make an atmosphere which helps the patient to regain his or her health in the shortest possible time and we appreciate their cooperation", said Mrs. Virginia TVe, M.B.U. Staff R.N. "We are extremely proud of our Monitored Bed Unit where patients are cared for until they are ready to return to their homes." During this special "Heart Month" and also throughout the year the staff at Burdette Tomlin Memorial Hospital would like to urge everyone young and old, to see their physician or attend one of the blood pressure clinics sponsored by the American Heart Association to have their pressure checked - it only takes a few minutes but it can make the difference in avoiding strokes and heart attacks — help us help you live longer.
