Spiral CT technology is employed to increase exam accuracy, reduce exam time and provide three dimensional images. CT guided biopsies are provided. The hospital's newly designed, six bed critical care unit provides critically ill patients with intensive, wholistic nursing care. Care is provided through the dynamic interaction of the critical care nurse and the critical care environment. The needs of the patients are met through use of the nursing process, administration of medications, implementation of necessary treatments and procedures, interpretation of cardiac monitors, and education and crisis intervention for patients and families.
Courses run for four days at two hours per day.
Courses are held both in the evening and in the afternoon to accommodate different patient's schedules. The classes are free and include literature on diabetes management. Instruction is by a certified diabetes instructor and a registered dietitian. Each participant is encouraged to bring one family member to the sessions in order that the family may better understand the diabetic's needs. A licensed, registered dietitian is available to counsel any outpatient about a physician-prescribed diet.
