Abstract
Info from Around the Medical Center, April 1981
Description
Dr. Frederick Glass, head of the section on Emergency Medical Services at Bowman Gray School of Medicine, looks over an EKG strip with an unidentified male. A telemetry system was installed in 1980 in the emergency Department. It allowed emergency medical transporters (paramedics) to send an EKG strip to the Emergency Department so a doctor could advise the paramedics on how to stabilize a patient in the ambulance. Before 1980, walkie-talkies were used to communicate with paramedics en route to North Carolina Baptist Hospital.
