New Hospital Equipment for Tinian



Two new pieces of hospital equipment have arrived at the Tinian Clinic:

The first piece of equipment is a 'patient monitor' that tracks patient's blood presure, pulse, oxigen saturation, and EKG. It has automatic alarms that sound if any of these things reach a critical point. This is located in the emergency room.

The second piece of equipment is in the lab: an INR that measures blood clotting time.

Both will help with critically ill patients--giving information in a timely manner so that the hospital personel can treat the patient quickly and acurately.
