<WL_.. / i | KCH UPGRADES EKG EQUIPMENT — Kosciusko Community Hospital has just put into daily service a new Burdick 3-channel electrocardiograph. replacing the single-channel machine used for the past several years. The new EKG recorder is part of KCH’s efforts to upgrade equipment and methods to keep pace with the latest technology in the medical field. “We can have a copy of a patient’s EKG on his chart in seconds.” said Ron Phillips, head of the Kosciusko Community Hospital’s Cardio-Pulmonary department, “instead of the 10-15 minutes it used to take. We’ll save copy costs, hard copy reproduction time and technician time with the new machine.” The new machine offers the eight person department, which takes some 8,000 EKG recordings annually. New versatility is now available in recording heart rhythms, with four paper speeds, four sensitivity selections and three different, simultaneous rhythm tracings and interface capability. The paper width also provides space for recording patient history information with»the tracings obtained from the new machine. KCH technician Mona Noffsinger and Ronald C. Phillips.
