New EKG Center Opens
At Confederate Hospital
Confederate Memorial Medi-cal
Center's new Electrocar-diogram
(EKG) Center opened
last week, according to Dr. Rod
M. Yeager, director on the
hospital.
The new facility is located on
the second floor of the hospital
a section formerly used for
the obstelncs-gynecology clinic.
The floor connects with the
second-floor outpatient c l i n i c
here the medicine clinic is
held.
The only renovation required
or the switchover was repaint-the
area, according to Dr.
Stephen P. Glasser, assistant
professor of medicine at the
LSU School of Medicine at
Shreveport, who is in charge of
the Section of Cardiology.
The primary advantage of the
new space, Glasser said, is that
it puts the entire EKG division
in one area. Previously it had
been spread over one floor in
the hospital, with storage in one
section, EKG mounting activi-ties
in one section, offices in
another, a-rid testing in another.
Also, where there were two
EKG units in one room separat-ed
by a thin curtain, the new
area provides for four units
(divided into individual cubicles.
PROCEDURES ROOM
The new space also has a
special procedures room for
more elaborate diagnostic test-ing
equipment. One of these,
G l a s s e r pointed out is an
exercise EKG treadmill, which
provides testing of the patient
with coronary artery disease
before and after exercise. He
might, for instance, test normal
while resting but become abnor-mal
after exercise.
There is office space for
Elaine Stewart, the nurse super-visor,
and Mary G. Hall, secre-tary,
and for the cardiology
technicians, Faye M. Gill and
Ernestine Moore.
A thin space between the
testing rooms and the wall
provides ample space for filing
records, d a t i n g back three
years. Older records are stored
elsewhere.
"We have a lot more room to
put everything together," Glas-ser
said.
Glasser also said that the new
quarters mean patients won't
have as far to go and that the
flow of patients in and out will
be quicker. Previous quarters)
were on the seventh floor.
"It will cut the waiting time,"|
he said.
G l a s s e r said another plus
factor with the new quarters is
a w a i t i n g area outside the
station door, also something
there was no room for in the
older quarters.
