StmGICAL NEWS
October 1971
Our monthly Surgical Conference was held on Wednesday, October 13, 1971. Mention was
made of the letter written to the president of Travenol Laboratories concerning our 14 Zenith
ECG Monitors. They were told that the monitors either be removed or replaced by more suitable
equipment.
Within the past month, we, again, have had several clean wound infections. The control
of infection is a complex problem. Last week we found that the overhead ventilation system
was spewing soot over the packs in one room and immediate repair of this is taking place.
Everybody now is co-operating in wearing shoe covers. Certainly with the long hair and sideburns, head hoods that will be available make a good deal of sense. Infections certainly can
be minimized. Bob Farley ran into a great deal of resistence when he insisted on using a
sterile catheter for intra-tracheal suction, however, the incidence of tracheal-bronchitis
rapidly fell when it was adopted and is now considered routine. Dick Spencer's purchase of
the Cidex Washer for the corrugated tubing on the anesthesia machines may well prevent future
complications. Many others have done similar things which have been most helpful.
A request has been made by Mrs. Segner to return all of the borrowed library books.
Dr. Jim Lee and the Intensive Care Committee are working with Mrs. Miller to formulate
the new plans for the Intensive Care Unit, The architects should meet with this Committee
and the Operating Room Committee again in the near future. Our thanks go to Drs. Young, Fisher,
and Hassell who presented an excellent program on Saturday, September 25, 1971. This was a
concise, yet complete summary of diverticulosis.
A rather lively discussion was then held concerning the possibilities of developing a
Surgical Teaching Service at Moses Cone Hospital. A committee has been formed, chaired by
Dr. John Lyday to investigate the possibilities of developing such a service. Also on the
committee are Dr. Robert Farley, Dr. John Bradley and Dr, Shahane Taylor. I think a reasonable
conclusion to the discussion was that most of us need much more information concerning such a
program. We would like to know the desire on the part of the School of Medicine at Chapel
Hill and what kind of programs would be suited for our particular service. Dr. Wells asked that
we make a survey concerning the need and the other types of existing programs. Certainly if
we agreed to any program, a necessity would be a Director of Surgical Education, in order to
