We recently made a donation to the Royal Berkshire Hospital for the Buscot Ward. The unit specialises in the care of babies born prematurely. One recent case in particular was a baby Henry Fry who was born in the 27th week of pregnancy at the hospital. Henry, who is now about 8lb in weight received 15 weeks of treatment on Buscot Ward. Henry's parents have now started fund raising for the ward and hope to raise at least £6,000.

One in ten babies born at the hospital is treated on Busctot Ward, and last year over 600 babies were admitted.

About 7% of births in England and Wales are premature, or born before 37 weeks - with 0.5% born before 28 weeks, according to newborns charity 'Tommy's'.

FiltaMask

One of the biggest challenges facing healthcare professionals on the frontline is the uncertainty of what you are going to face. Patients with respiratory infections have specific needs and yet pose a specific risk. Conventional oxygen masks can generate a plume of particles from their exhalation ports which can travel a distance of 0.4 metres resulting in a potential risk.

The FiltaMask combines an oxygen delivery system with a filter media covering the exhalation ports. Designed for patients with respiratory infections who may be a source of aerosolised infectious pathogens and who also require supplementary oxygen.

The Intersurgical FiltaMask is designed to reduce the risk to paramedics, hospital staff and visitors. Visit www.filtamask.com for more information.
