A huge THANK YOU to JMC IT for your generous donation of £16,000.00 which is going to support the Neo Natal units at Bolton and Preston. To see how they are helping please read below..... Cot Canopies For the Neo Natal unit at Royal Preston. Price £3564.40 Premature babies are sensitive to the sensory environment. Incubator covers are used to protect babies from noise, light and activity in the nursery . To have this cot canopy will help provide continued protection from the environment as this has implications for future neurological development in a preterm infant. 2 x Suction Pumps for the Neo Natal unit at Royal Bolton. Unit Price £744.00. Total Price £1488.00 This equipment plays a vital role in the care of children who have had a tracheotomy: a procedure where an opening is created at the front of the windpipe because the child is unable to breathe normally as a result of an injury, disability or serious medical condition. The suction pump is used to clear the fluid that builds up in the throat and windpipe. At present children are offered a large, mains powered machine, but newer, smaller models are now on the market which offer much more freedom and flexibility to children who need these machines. Cosy Crib Twin Cot for the Neo Natal unit at Royal Bolton. Price £3960.00 (RBS in Bolton have part supported this with a donation of £1581.35) you are donating £2379.00. This will provide a safe and practical system for nursing pre-term twins, creating the perfect environment for developmental care. The crib is a large double crib with room for two sets of monitoring equipment and plenty of space for two babies. It is usual for twins and multiples to be delivered before 38 weeks. Fewer than half of all twin pregnancies last beyond 37 weeks, and only 1.5% of triplet pregnancies go beyond this stage. Premature twins thrive better when they are cared for together. 12 x Saturation Monitors for the Neo Natal unit at Royal Bolton. Unit Price £700.00 . Total Price £8400.00 These will enable medical staff to accurately assess the pulse rate and oxygen saturation of a newborn baby. Compared to the equipment currently in use, this model can provide a reliable reading much more quickly, so is ideal for use on babies. It is very difficult to keep a tiny baby still when trying to monitor its condition. This can make it impossible to get accurate readings, resulting in false alarms that are stressful to parents. The new technology eliminates this problem as it works despite movement of the patient. It is also significantly more accurate on tiny babies, who may weigh as little as 1 lb. Monitoring oxygen saturation of newborn infants in the delivery room or theatre is essential to ensure timely and accurate interventions.
