Proceeds from the 2021 / 2022 Monthly Lottery will purchase the newest diagnostic imaging technology for infants and children at BUH. It is the Carestream DRX, a 24cm x 30cm digital detector plate, the optimum size for positioning pediatric patients and is compatible with bassinets and cribs of all sizes. During the x-ray, the plate is inserted into the isolette tray in bassinet or crib, under the infant, ensuring no unnecessary movement of the child. The advanced medical technology of this digital plate, and its enhanced resolution, captures in fine detail the smaller anatomical structures of our youngest and most vulnerable of patients, keeping them safe, secure and comfortable in critical diagnostic times.
BUHF is also taking donations to purchase a pediatric crib/stretcher for the OR. Every year, the Operating Room at BUH sees almost 400 pediatric admissions for a variety of surgical procedures, including tonsil and adenoidectomies, ear and dental surgeries.ÌýYourÌýsupport will help to purchase two new pediatric cribs/stretchers to safely transport these young patients to and from the OR.ÌýThe new cribs/stretchers offer 360 degrees of safety while maintaining complete four side access to the child throughout pre and post-operative care and during the actual surgical procedure. The less disturbance and movement means reduced stress and anxiety for our most vulnerable young patients. The current stretchers are over 10 years old, and need to be replaced with the new technology and safety features available.ÌýThe total commitment is $19,037.
