Thank you Cathy Poisel!

Today Cathy Poisel came to speak to the Tucson Technics about the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at TMC.

Cathy is a NICU Nurse. She cares for some of the most precious and most vulnerable patients - tiny babies.

She used a PowerPoint presentation to describe the Biomedical Engineering equipment in the NICU. These include:

• Ventilator
• Isolette
• Giraffe Bed
• Warmers
• Electrocardiogram Monitors
• Blood Oxygen monitor
• Intravenous Devices (IV)
• PICC Lines

She also described some of the challenges facing premature babies. When they are born they may be too weak to breath or eat or move. Nurses and other caregivers help them to survive and grow to a point where they may leave the NICU and go on to live healthy lives.

Thank you Cathy for spending time with our club. We all learned so many things that we will remember!
