1 Humpty s Wish List helping put kids back together The following items have been requested by some of the hospitals and health services that Humpty currently supports. Each item has been assessed and approved by Humpty s Medical Sub Committee to appear on Humpty s Wish List which is regularly updated. If you do have any questions surrounding Humpty s Wish List or would like to purchase an item off the List please call Humpty on for assistance. We hope you can help grant some of these vital wishes. NEW SOUTH WALES AERONEB SOLO NEBULISER SYSTEM: $2,840 EACH 3 needed for Sydney Children s Hospital, Randwick Paediatric Intensive Care Unit This piece effectively delivers prescribed inhalation medication to infants by producing a fine particle, low velocity aerosol optimized for deep lung deposition. The solo adds no additional airflow to the ventilation circuit therefore it does not trigger false and unnecessary ventilator alarms. A distinct advantage is that it can be used for intermittent and or continuous treatment to an infant in what can often be a critical situation. AIR OXYGEN BLENDER: $3,585 EACH 3 needed for John Hunter Children s Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit It is imperative for medical staff to deliver the correct amount of oxygen every time a baby is on oxygen therapy. This device enables doctors and nurses to blend oxygen and air together and ensure the correct amount of oxygen is delivered to very fragile babies in the Intensive Care Unit.

2 RAD8 PULSE OXIMETER: $4,030 1 needed for Canterbury Hospital Paediatric Ward This monitor measures pulse and oxygen saturation levels. It does this by shining a light through the child or infant s finger or toe to gain a fast and accurate reading. This monitor is able to provide accurate readings on patients with low perfusion and high activity. This ensures correct and safe oxygen delivery for patients. BILISOFT PHOTOTHERAPY SYSTEM: $8,400 EACH 2 needed for Liverpool Newborn Intensive Care Unit & Westmead Newborn Care Centre Phototherapy blankets are used to treat jaundice in babies in such a way that the baby and mother are not separated.

VPAP SLEEP MONITOR: $9,350 EACH 2 needed for Sydney Children s Hospital, Randwick Intensive Care Unit & Department of Sleep Medicine This device helps infants and children breathe through a nasal mask by providing a continuous or a variable flow of air to splint the airways open and help the diaphragm breathe more efficiently. They are designed so children with severe breathing disorders can use the monitors at home, allowing hopefully for a short stay in hospital. JAUNDICE METER: $9,600 1 needed for Canterbury Newborn Care Centre Jaundice (yellow colouring) is a common problem with newborn babies. To determine the level of jaundice in the past a blood sample was obtained by pricking the baby's heel. With this new device it is possible to significantly reduce the number of painful blood samples carried out on the baby by measuring the jaundice level through the skin instead.

3 SKEETER DRILL: $9,650 1 needed for The Children s Hospital at Westmead Operating Suite A Skeeter drill is most commonly used during surgery for the insertion of cochlear implants, as newborn babies now have hearing tests we are able to perform surgery early. INTELLIVUE MP30 CARDIAC MONITOR: $17,200 1 needed for Fairfield Special Care Nursery Cardiac monitors are a first line piece of equipment when needing to resuscitate a newborn after birth. They need to be accurate, easily read and accessible as doctors make decisions based on their readings. This equipment monitors the respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturations and blood pressure of sick neonates. INTELLIVUE MP50 BEDSIDE MONITOR & ACCESSORIES: $22,300 1 needed for Royal Prince Alfred High Dependency Unit This monitor is vital in the care of premature and ill full term babies that are being treated in the High Dependency Unit. It displays all the vital signs of a baby including the heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood stream, ensuring any changes in their condition are immediately detected and acted upon. DELTA MONITOR: $25,900 1 needed for Tamworth Rural Referral Special Care Nursery This monitor will allow close observation of critically ill newborn babies in monitoring heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation levels, without invasive procedures that would disturb the baby.

4 Diagnosys Espion Electrophysiology Equipment: $217,850 1 needed for Sydney Children s Randwick, Ophthalmology This piece of equipment measures vision and how well the back of the eye (the retina) works. The major tests are the electroretinogram (ERG) and the visual evoked potential (VEP). An object seen by the eye produces an electrical response in the retina. The ERG measures this response. Children presenting to the eye clinic will sometimes not see because their retina is not working properly. In some cases the only way this can be diagnosed is by performing an ERG. This is done by a disc (electrode) being places on the surface of the eye. The electrode will pick up an electrical response from the back of the eye. The electrode is connected to a computer. In children under 4 years of age the testing is done with some sedation. In older children sedation is usually not necessary. A multifocal ERG allows us to accurately assess where in the retina the abnormality is. The VEP measures what information is getting from the retina to the brain (the visual path). Discs called electrodes are placed on the back of the head to measure the brain waves which arrives from the back of the eye. QUEENSLAND ULTRABLENDER: $4,900 EACH 2 needed for Royal Brisbane & Women s Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit This piece of equipment allows for the delivery of oxygen in a precise and adjustable manner. It has two pressure compensated flowmeters mounted to either side and is critical in the treatment of sick children who require extra oxygen to help with their breathing.
