After using the Chun gun, if something seems amiss, a more, definitive CAT or ultrasound scan is ordered. One of the more complicated pieces of equipment in the nursery is the infant ventilator, a machine thal breathes for infants who cannot breathe for themselves. Rosenfeld says the ventilator has been used five times in the last several months. The machine, which acts much the same as an adult respirator, provides the extra survival factor when a baby needs stabilization or in winter when LifeFlight teams might have trouble getting over the mountains. Dr. Rosenfeld discusses newborn care on the way to the physicians lounge in the obstetric wing. The OB wing is a positive, upbeat place. New moLhers pass in the hallway and excited new parents press their faces against the nursery window. Fetal monitors in the labor room pulse with the heartbeats of diapers, Bird and Reynolds breast milk a baby ingests. The nursery also contains other equipment purchased by the hospital since Rosenfeld arrived with his expertise in neonatology. He pulls a science fiction looking gun out of a leather case. The "Chun gun," he explains is one of the simplest pieces of new equipment. Ii consists of an ordinary projector lamp magnified by a series of lens. It is used in preliminary diagnoses by passing the intense light over' an area like the brain to see if an organ is functioning properly. The effect is not unlike showing a flashlight on the palm of ones and after they are wet. We record exactly how much fluid passes through the body." Rosenfeld places a paper towel on the extremely sensitive scale used to weigh babies and whatever goes in, on or out of them. The weight of the paper towel flashed on the scale dial in fraction of an ounce. The scale is helpful in determining how much unborn infants. The OB lounge is a comfortable looking nook of the OB desk furnished wiLh a large tufted For example, instead of infants receiving silver nitrate in their eyes following birth as has been the norm, they are given tetracycline, an antibiotic which is less . irrilaLing. Infants also receive vitamin K to help prevent bleeding, and their navel cords are treated wilh triple dye, an infection prevention substance which helps Lhem dry up faster. Each infant is examined thoroughly after birth and then again prior to going home in Older to pick up any abnormality that might have developed in the quickly changing period immediately following birth. Dr. Rosenfeld's goal in coming to the Basin is to bring his recent knowledge to the staff and to also keep sicker babies at this locality longer. It is a hardship for parents to travel the long dislance to be with a sick baby. Nevertheless, he acknowledges thal DCH will never take the place of the regional centers at Primary Childrens and University hospitals for severely ill children. He acknowledges too, that this work of his is very enjoyable, a fact reinforced by the attached to his stethoscope, and his gentle cribside manner. '' The nursery will soon take on an extra dimension to Rosenfeld. His second child is due to be born any day now.
