  Spende für die Säuglingsstation

Mit einer Spende in Höhe von 30 000 Euro unterstützt der American Woman’s Club Taunus (AWCT) die Kinderintensivstation des Höchster Klinikums. Von dem Geld wurden zwei Pflegeeinheiten für kranke Früh- und Neugeborene angeschafft. Bei einem Besuch konnten Mitglieder des AWTC erfahren, wie die neuen Inkubatoren praktisch eingesetzt werden. Die Geräte bieten einen optimalen Wärme- und Feuchtigkeitsschutz der Säuglinge. Auf einer verschiebbaren Liegefläche können operative Eingriffe durchgeführt werden, ohne dass die Babys umgelagert werden müssen. Integrierte Filmkassetten ermöglichen, unkompliziert Röntgenaufnahmen zu machen. «Die Einheiten erleichtern den Zugang zum Säugling für Ärzte, Schwestern und Eltern», fasst Chefarzt Lothar Schrod zusammen. Für die Intensiv-Kinderkrankenschwester und Pflegeleiterin Susanne Ressel stellten die Geräte eine wichtige Ergänzung der Ausstattung für eine maximal schonende, patientenfreundliche Behandlung der Säuglinge dar. knb
