Keeping our smallest community member warm
The Olds Healthcare Fundraising Committee (OHFC), through the generous contributions of our community successfully funded the purchase of two (2) Panda Warmers for the Olds Hospital - Maternity, Labour & Delivery.
These unique pieces neonatal medical equipment offers immense benefits to babies immediately after birth.
Panda Warmers are utilized in all births to immediately warm the baby as the pediatric teams assess the infant.
The special warming properties allow the baby to stay open (unclothed and unwrapped) for the team to easily assess and evaluate the baby, and for footprints and banding.
The latest Panda Warmers provide easy access to controls for oxygen, suctioning, weighing the baby, and emergency equipment needed to maintain airway functions.
