LUNGS ARE FOR LIFE ... DON'T BLOW IT In April of 1988 Whitby General Hospital started its Respiratory Therapy Department. That's when Carole Madeley, a registered Respiratory Therapist came on board. It was Madeley's responsibility ta develop and put her department of one into action. Before she came ta Whitby General, respiratory services were performed by the nursing staff who, given their other responsibilities, weren't able ta do the thorough assessment of patients which Madeley can now provide. Madeley works 10 days a month at Whitby General. Ail of the therapy and testing she does on patients are ordered by a physician. A lot of her patients are asthmatics or are suffering from emphysema. Madeley assesses their condition, and in conjunction with nursing staff, carrnes out treatments which may consist of administering oxygen, or providing'aerosol therapy. Her days at the hospital are very f ull. "As the hospital grows and active care services expand, there wilI be an even greater need for respiratory care," says Madeley. At this point, given the size af the hospital and, -as.a result, the services it is able to provide, Madeley is able to handle the workload ... with help. "I have a number of responsibilities," Madeley explains. "A lot of My time is spent on educating the staff as well as the patients and their families." Madeley provides regular training on how ta use the equipment and the proper ways ta administer medication. Recause she's a one woman show, and because she doesn't work around the dlock, it's important that she train ot h ers. Madeley's duties include mechanical ventilatory support, in such emergency situations as cardiac arrest. Recause Whitby General Hospital doesn't have the equipment or the facilities to treat this type of case for more than short term, the aim is ta stabilize and then to transfer the patient ta anather facility. She also perfarms diagnostic services, and maintains and tests al af the respiratary equipment in the hospital. With the hospital's redevelopment, Madeley is hopeful that new respiratory eqimnt will be purchased. "There are a number of testing methos hch are non-invasive for the patient," Madeley camments. "With certain equipment we'd be able ta test and monitor patients without putting them through invasive procedures." Madeley currently occupies a tiny office measuring about 6 x 10 an the second floor. There's room for her desk, and not a lot mare. -But, at least ifs an office," she grins. "You wouldn't believe the demand for its use when l'm flot here. 1 may have ta establish a sign-up sheet. But when you're pressed for space, evenl something this size looks great." fora firat classa-community- [.jhis SPac Ovieds. pbbsevi t heWhilfr.
