Aids to new-born
Mrs Sally Penny (left) of the Canterbury Flower Arrangement Society, Mrs Francis Sands, president of the Lioness Club of Pegasus, and Mr Jim Hewitt, of the Canterbury Masonic Charitable Trust, with some of the equipment for new-born children given by community groups to Christchurch Women’s Hospital last evening.
Two neonatal respiration monitors, which set off an alarm if a baby stops breathing, were given by
the Canterbury Flower Arrangement Society. The Canterbury Masonic Charitable Trust gave a heart rate monitor and a temperature monitor, both of which will be used in emergency transport. Stethoscopes and thermometers are of limited use in ambulances and aircraft because readings are difficult to take. The new monitors will
display electronic readouts. The final item, a set of electronic scales, was given by the Lioness Club of Pegasus. The scales enable babies to be weighed instantly without having to be properly balanced. A formal banding-over ceremony was held last evening at the hospital nurses’ hostel.
