Hip Hip Hooray for the Orthopaedic Dept at Royal Columbian Hospital!
At Royal Columbian Hospital, orthopaedic nurse Brenda Williams demonstrates a Dinemapp machine on Jillian Chateauneuf, Hip Hip Hooray Lower Mainland Chairperson, after the organization donated $7072.85 to help fund the machine, as well as a ceiling lift.
The portable, computerized Dinemapp, which measures a patient’s vital signs, offers a non-invasive method of closely monitoring patients. It automatically takes vital signs so a nurse can either attend to other needs the patient may have or attend to other patients.
The Dinemapp machine will be used for patients returning from the OR who require regular monitoring of blood pressure, pulse and blood oxygen levels and will be used daily on approximately 15 patients each week.
