Recovery Room Aids Surgery

)bj HERMAN N. BWiMSEN, M.D. THE success of an operation no longer rests solely on the surgeon’s and the anaesthetist’s skill, but many times, on the nursing care the patient receives immediately following surgery. This period is one of the most dangerous for a patient. In many ways, it is a more important time than the period when the actual surgery is being performed, for the patient’s every reaction is watched and tended. In those early hours following surgery, many catastrophles such as shock, collapse of the lungs, or loose blots in the blood vessels can overtake the patient. For these reasons, whenever possible, a nurse should be In constant attendance during these critical first hours. * Many hospitals today are guarding against complications setting up units near the operating rooms known as recovery rooms. > ' Specialized Care These rooms provide an area where a group of patients can be observed constantly until the crucial period following anesthesia has safely passed. The patient recovering from surgery can thus have specialized care from nurses who are specially trained to observe patients fresh from operative procedures, and to observe any complications that might develop.

Everybody has bee* busy with Christmas plans, but right now one of >the busiest crews in the city is the postal workers. Stacks and stacks of mail have already been, delivered and the climax in helping Santa Claus distribute his gifts and greetings will be reached today, or probably tomorrow. The postmaster, assistants, postal workers and carriers deserve a salute for their excellent service during the holidays. o o President Eisenhower will broadcast his Christmas message to the nation Thursday afternoon, beginning at 3:3d o'clock, Decatur time. Radio and television will carry the historic onehour program. The President will turn the switch that will light the majestic, towering tree in front of the'White House and Christmas Eve with an its joys and heartfelt sentiment will spread over the country. ——o-- o Interpretation of Instructions in issuing autp plates is that car Owners must obtain a certificate from the county treasurer that they have paid their personal property and poll taxes. Officials of the state registration office have informed county license bureaus that paid tax receipts are not sufficient evidence of tax payment. if payment was made prior to Oct. 19. The rulingXvill cause • a stream of taxpayers to the treas- : urer’s office and seems* unnecesj sary, providing the applicant has 5 his stamped tax receipts.

In the recovery rooms of modI era hospitals, every piece of . emergency apparatus that might i be needed is right at the nurse’s , finger tips. Blood pressure readrings can be taken at frequent Intervals and oxygen is at the t patient’s bedside. Length of Stay Varies \ • i There is usually one bed for I every operating room and one 5 nurse for every three or four f patients. The patients may stay . in a recovery room from thirty j minutes, for minor cases, up to i five hours, for more complex i ’cases. I There is one problem connected : with the use of recovery rooms. »«That is to satisfy the relatives who become impatient even 1 though they have been warned . [ that the patient will be detained. ; some hours after surgery. Since s visitors are necessarily not al- v . ' lowed in recovery rooms, there f. Imay be some needless anxiety for -the relatives.

( “It's the tacks.” the dwarf said. “Someone has dropped a box of tacks on the floor and all the little racing cars have flat tires. We haven’t time to repair all these Gat tires. What shall we do?" "WeTl-l-l-I,” said Steve, “Gosh, I don’t know what to do. I’ll think it over and call you back.” Nancy is Worried Steve looked over at Nancy and •he looked worried. “What’a the trouble?” Steve asked.

Steve hardly had time to say “1 den t knew” before a messen |er dwarf came bursting intp the Office out of breath. “Thirty of |he dolls are sick,” he said. “What Will I do?" ® - ' “Oh, the poor dolls,” Nancy Replied. “Steve, we must help |hem, but Fm sure that J don’t |now what is good for dolls. Do think they have stomach <ehes?“ “Please Come Help” | ”I’m sure it isn’t that. Miss Nancy,” the dwarf answered, “because dolls, don’t have stomachs. 1 must get back to them now, but |i you have time, please come Ipok lat them.” a All this time, the telephone tree had not stopped ringing. Having $ fi’ee moment, Steve picked up a njiceiver. “Square soap bubbles?” he said. “Whoever beard of square soap bubbles?” ~|“Yes, that’s Just the trouble,” \

said the voice on the other end of the Bn*. “No one has ever heard of square soap bubbles and they won't, believe ft. What’s more children may get cut on the sharp edges.” Square Soap Bubble* “Os all the silly things,” Steve said, turning to Nancy. “They’ve got some bubble pipes that won’t blow anything except square soap babbles.” “What on earth do they think we can do about a thing like that?” Nancy said sighing. “It seema to me that we're getting an awful lot more problems than we are getting answers.” If you could have watched Stere and Nancy in Santa Claus’s big office yon would have felt rorrier and sorrier for the in. It seemed like everyone Wanted them to straighten out problems, aad the more problems there were, the more confused the children became. / A t No Time To Eat They were huogfy by now, but they were so busy telling people they didn’t know how to help them that the didn’t have time to eat. “No more smoke?” Nancy said into the telephone. “You say the trains have run out of smoke?’\ the trains are out of smoke,” Napcy said to Steve. “I’ve get so many troubles j can't take time to listen to yours, too,” Steve said rather crossly, for small boys can get quite croe* when they are

tired and hungry. -“If you won’t help. I'll just teU them to forget their old smoke,” Nancy answered, tor little girls get just as tired and hungry and cross as littlt boy*. “No,” said Steve suddenly into bis ’phone receiver, “1 don’t care if your old polka dot horse* are wet and I don’t care if their color Is running. Let it run until it gets all tired);out” • ' “I’m not going to answer another telephone,” said Nancy, sinking into a chair. “Nor I,” said Steve. Just then a messenger opened the door and shouted, “A toy machine gun is running wild and shooting all over the room. What will we db”\ Steve looked at Nancy. She had her head in her hands, crying. He felt like crying too. They were two tired children who had found out that being Santa Claus can be a lot of work. .. z (Tomorrow: Santa Wakes Up.)
