All proceeds from the monthly 50/50 raffles starting in April are being put towards the purchase of two space lab monitors that are to be used in the OR. These monitors which come at a price tag of $23,000 each, monitor patients’ pulse, blood pressure, respirations, cardiac rhythms and oxygen saturations. In addition, they monitor end-tidal CO2 when a patient is on a ventilator, arterial pressures when a patient has an arterial line in place and perform electrocardiograms which are necessary to diagnose heart attacks.
Thanks to ticket purchasers like yourself, enough funds have been raised to complete the spacelab monitors purchase. Stay tuned for an announcement soon on equipment that will be supported by the raffles moving forward.
