NICU AMBULANCE
For premature and ill infants, having the right
ambulance can make a huge difference. GMC's
neonatal intensive care ambulance is designed for
medical professionals to provide lifesaving care
en route to the hospital. This ambulance, fully
equipped to respond to and treat babies exclusively,
has significantly decreased emergency response
time. Through the generosity of GMC's Women's
Advisory Council, public fundraising and substantial
private donations from Frank Circelli's Another
Chance Foundation and Gwinnett Neonatology,
the dream of a NICU ambulance became a reality.
PATIENT SIMULATORS
The virtual reality of simulation provides a safe place for
practitioners to gain experience. GMC recently added Human
Patient Simulators, which provide experience for medical,
nursing and respiratory residents. Automatic feedback from
wireless sensors gives a realistic, real-time, hands-on learning
experience. These simulators can help clinicians practice treating
everything from seizures and childbirth to pupillary responses,
drug recognition and verbal reactions. The sensitivity and
accuracy of the simulators require the user to make real-life
split-second decisions. These patient simulators provide ample
opportunity to practice new procedures as well as to maintain
expertise in routine procedures, such as administering medication
in the proper dosage.
HEART VALVE CLIP
GMC's structural heart program now has MitraClip to treat mitral valve
regurgitation. This condition causes blood leakage to flow the wrong way
during heartbeats. The MitraClip can restore the mitral valve to allow for
proper blood flow. This device functions as a clamp to hold the parts of
the mitral valve together, which strengthens the heart while also relieving
excess stress. Surgical procedures to implant the MitraClip are less invasive
than traditional open heart surgeries, and the postoperative release time
is dramatically shorter. ■
