Life Saving Equipment

The Foundation helps Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin continue to purchase state-of-the-art medical equipment, to support life saving services. The medical equipment needs of the hospital are extensive and diverse and as a Foundation we try to respond to these needs which directly relate to the treatment, care and lifesaving initiatives for thousands and thousands of children treated at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital each year.

Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, an acute paediatric hospital treats on an annual basis over 23,500 inpatients and day cases. 30, 000 Emergency Department attendances, 76,000 Out Patient attendances and performs 12,600 operating procedures. By our donors embracing the Hospital's needs, both large and small we have been able to purchase significant pieces of medical equipment.

These have included:

• a life saving emergency and transport ventilator,
• babyPAC, designed specifically for delicate neonate and infant lungs to resuscitate and ventilate babies without delay,
• a vital upgrade for ecocardiograf in the Cardiac Unit,
• a Giraffe Omnibed which provides an unsurpassed healing environment for intensively ill children and
