EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the unveiling of the new intensive care unit at Brompton Hospital in London, back in 1969. Designed specifically for post-operative cases and patients with severe heart complaints, this state-of-the-art facility boasted a groundbreaking feature - a revolutionary respirator system. This innovative technology was developed by one of the hospital's esteemed consultant anaesthetists in collaboration with a leading medical equipment manufacturer. In this image, we see nurse Tsien from Malaya attentively tending to a patient who is connected to the respirator machine. The volunteer patients showcased here are actually members of the hospital staff, highlighting their commitment to advancing medical knowledge and providing exceptional care. Notably, patients receiving treatment through this remarkable system would be rendered unable to speak due to its nature. As such, they relied on writing down their needs and concerns for nurses like Nurse Tsien to address effectively. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how far medical advancements have come over time. It showcases both the dedication of healthcare professionals and the tireless pursuit of innovation within hospitals like Brompton. Preserved by Ann Ward and made available through Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into an important milestone in healthcare history – when cutting-edge technology merged seamlessly with compassionate nursing care at Brompton Hospital's new intensive care unit.
