JOINT REPORT OF VICE-PRESIDENT AND THE DIRECTOR 43
Richard Mil liken Building— This building is now the Hospital
only building on the grounds of the Charity Hospital Buildings
which is not occupied. The Board of Administrators has
under consideration plans for the renovation- and use of
tills building as one of the postwar projects of this
Hospital
Lapeyre-MIItenberger Building— On April 1, 1944, the
Lapeyre-Milteuberger Building was placed in operation for
the care of convalescent patients and has functioned
satisfactorily throughout the year. By the facilities af-
forded in this building, it has been possible to transfer
convalescent patients from our active medical and surgi-
cal wards, thus making available more hospital beds for
the use of acute cases and at the same time affording
to our convalescent patients the opportunity to spend
their convalescence In pleasant surroundings with con-
stant medical and nursing attention.
Delgado Building— On May 8, 1944, this building was
placed in operation for the treatment of Venereal Di-
seases- This building was leased to the State Board of
Health and has been constantly operated throughout
the year for the treatment of women with venereal di-
seases. The facilities afforded by the use of this building
has made possible the treatment of hundreds of young
women who are victims of venereal diseases, and has
been of great assistance to the surrounding community
in the prevention of venereal disease, with particular
reference to the armed forces of our Government, at
whose suggestion this building was made available for
this purpose.
Old Female Medical Building— The 3rd floor of this
building has been in use for the care of poliomyelitis
cases During the past year, because of the increased
demands made on the poliomyelitis unit, It was necessary
to completely repair and renovate the 2nd floor, thus
tK available approximately sixty beds for the care
of poliomyelitis cases. From July 1, 1944 to June 30,
1945, there were 103 cases of poliomyelitis admitted and
treated in this center. 85% of all poliomyelitis cases
throughout the entire State which has been reported to
the Louisiana State Department of Health, were admitted
and treated in this poliomyelitis center. This is truly
a Statewide project, and is the only unit of this kind in
operation Sn the entire South.
Colored Tuberculosis Building— This entire building
«*en completely repaired and renovated and is de-
exclusively to the care of colored tuberculosis
cases. There Is a continuous waiting list of patients
who wish to be admitted to this building and the build-
a always crowded,
Dlbert Memorial Building— This building Is set aside
tot the care of white tuberculosis cases, and Is fully
at all times.
I desire to again call the attention of all indftrid-
;ihority in the State of Louisiana to the great

The Main Building — The settlement of the Main Hoa-

th* rate of settlement is decreasing. The settlement

^me protection to our nurses during Inclement weather
i! their trips to and from the Main Hospital Building.
Laundry — The Charity Hospital operates the largest Mechanical

has operated satisfactorily throughout the year. It is
ceaaary at this time to call your attention to the fact
that some of the mechanical equipment in the Lanudry

Warehouse — This building has provided excellent ser-
ii^hout the year; however, It is far too small,
md additional space should be provided. At the present
time sufficient storage space is not available and because
f this fact it is Impossible for the Hospital to take ad-
vantage of lower prices obtainable when merchandise Is
bought in large quantities. This has worked a (particular
hardahfp during the past year because of the uncertainty
t being unable to obtain merchandise at all, and the
of purchasing in quantities whenever merchan-
4!s« was available.
Hospital Garage — This building has been maintained
a a satisfactory condition and has rendered good ser-
however, there ts not sufficient storage space to

In the past year, the temporary structure in the rear

During normal times this Hospital employed v
graduate nurses. During the past fiscal year,
were only approximately 240 graduate nurses on

eral Government, we entered into the Federal TV
Program for nurses and because of this program at tkt
end of the past fiscal year there was an enroling
approximately 700 student nurses in our School cor

nurses in the United States. The Hospital is very dW
of the accomplishments of this group and they are tt
wise, cognizant of the great service rendered this* Ins

whose assistance it would have been absolutely hn
sible for us to have given service to our patients
Interesting to call your attention to the duu,
schools affiliated with Charity Hospital School of

of Louts ana are affiliated with this school, and tTiaft^
schools located out of the State. By means of thtei

mortality in this group of our patients from over 70%
J less that 30%, and we hope to reduce it still further.
Emergency Rooms and Ambulance Service — The emer-
gency rooms of the Hospital operate on a 24-honr basis.
Approximately 95ofe of all accident and emergency cases
throughout New Orleans area are sent to this depart-
ment as the Charity Hospital maintains the only emer-
gency ambulance service in the City of New Orleans.
The Hospital operates five ambulances which are on duty
4-honrs per day. Because of the depletion of our resi-
dent staff, the Hospital has been forced to operate these
ambulance without physicians being In attendance ex-
cept in cases where It is necessary for us to send a
Physician. The ambulances are almost worn out and
will have to be replaced as quickly as possible.
During the past year Charity Hospital ambulances
answered 1 1,122 calls, at an average time per call of 28.3
talnutes from the time the call was received to the time
the patient was brought into the Hospital,
During the past year 65,424 patients were seen and
treated in the emergency or accident rooms of this Instl*
tution, an average of 180 cases every 24-hours.
Every accfdent case referred to this Hospital is, of
course, taken care of. These patients are all investigated
and those found ineligible for treatment within this In-
■n are sent invoices for all services rendered them,
tad ail such funds, when collected, are remitted to the
General Fund of the State of Louisiana.
X-ray Department — During the past fiscal year, it
*aa necessary to purchase additional x-ray equipment
in order to give adequate service to our patients. This
»** partly because some of the equipment in use in
the Hospital bad worn out, but in addition, the Hospital
is striving to render better service to those patients who
*ro suffering with inoperable cancers, as well as to im-
prove the diagnostic services in this Institution. Because
Bf the purchase of this equipment, it was necessary to
rearrange a portion of the space set aside for the s-ray
department.
Through the cooperation of the Louisiana State Board
•'aUh, arrangements have been made for conducting
*n x-ray survey of all patients applying to the Admitting
Rooms of this Hospital. When in operation, this unit
Id furnish the Hospital with a record of from $00 to
1000 chest pictures per day, These records w T ill be of In-
i.ible value in establishing the rate of tuberculosis
among our patients. It will doubtless uncover many
*arly treatable cases of tuberculosis and will give valu-
able records for statisticians who wish to make studies
concerning the number of tuberculosis cases in this sec*
Of Louisiana.

A beautiful tribute was paid to our Sister Stanislaus Sister
by the people of New Orleans when she was selected as Stanislaus
the recipient of the Times-Picayune Loving Cup. Sister
Stanislaus is known, far and wide, as New Orleans 1 most
beloved woman. She has devoted a lifetime to the ser-
vice of the poor of this community and State. The poor
of Louisiana can never properly express their gratitude
to this little woman who has served them for more than
•txty years. The example set by her has been a constant
source of inspiration to all with whom she baa come in
contact — thousands of doctors, nurses, and others, whose
lives have touched hers, have been enriched by such con*
tact. Her many admirers are v&ry happy because of this
well deserved public acknowledgement and tribute which
was paid to Sister Stanislaus.

To the Board of Administrators and Doctor O, P. Daly, Director
Charity Hospital of Louisiana at New Orleans.
Gentlemen:
The departments conducted by the Sisters have suffered soniev
a setback during the past year because of war conditions. Despite
effort to keep standards on a high level, circumstances beyond on
trot forced us to accept conditions and practices easily recognized
ferlor to those of previous years.
Many of these conditions came about because of our inabi
ploy or retain competent personnel. Some were due to excess
of supplies and materials, and others arose out of the fmpossihilttv
re placing worn out equipment.
We realize that an institution such as this could not compel.
prevailing wages in war industries, but a raise in the minimum b
and periodic salary increases for meritorious service would have
much to prevent the turnover of personnel so detrimental to good
A fair living wage is due all of our employees, but we have had
reason to deplore the salaries offered to our subsidiary group, W
assured of your sympathy with this problem and we are aware, too
the reduction in our appropriation is the main reason for our
during this past fiscal year. However, we face another year on a
budget with apprehension. We can only trust and pray that some Ttt&s*
will be found to ameliorate the conditions now prevailing,
The reports of the Sisters' Divisions follow*. We take this oppo:
to thank you for your constant solicitude and Interest in our behalf
also wish to express the gratitude of all of the Sisters toward th
ment heads, the medical staff and all personnel in the hospital for
continued cooperation and help.
Respectfully, submitted,
SrSTER STANISLAUS,
Director, Sisters' Di via Ions.
NURSING DIVISION 11T
NURSING DEPARTMENT
To the Board of Administrators and Doctor O. P. Daly, Director,
Charity Hospital of Louisiana at New Orleans:
are happy to present the annual report of the Nursing Depart-
ment for the year ending June 30, 1945,
In reviewing the activities of the past fiscal year, we feel that there
« very little to relate that is new or different. We have passed through
the crisis of the war hut we are still acutely in need of personnel, and
toany new projects must wait until nurses and other trained workers
again become available.
The report of the Nursing Department will he divided into the Nurs-
tag Service section and the School of Nursing section.
NURSING SERVICE DIVISION
Nursing Situation in the Hospital
The care of our numerous patients has presented overwhelming
ftoalties during the past year because of the continued loas of graduate
flams, Our total graduate nurse staff as of June 30, 1945 Is 247. Many
rt these nurses are holding teaching and supervisory positions, and only
w general staff nurses are left to give stability to our nursing service
Wogram. Patients are cared for almost entirely by student nurses. We
*r* proud of the service rendered by our students during this trying per*
:owever, they are following an accelerated program and some of the
departments have suffered a great deal because of the rapid turnover
°f nurses,
splendid service has been rendered by volunteers, and we are
k*PP.v to call attention to the 24,913 hours of service rendered toy the
£ Volunteer Nurses' Aides sponsored by the New Orleans Red Cross
The work of the nurses has been supplemented by that ren-
I by these aides, and our tribute of gratitude to them is very deep
*ftd sincere,
Opening of NeuropsychUtric Unit
We have long recognized the need for a special unit for Neuropsychi-
atry patients, who have always presented great difficulties on the general
Boors. Thei*c patients formerly occupied four wards, with approximately
d», and there was a constant problem of over-patients on these wards.
Beginning on June 7* these patients were transferred to a Neuro-
teychiatrJc Unit consisting of eight wards, located in the center wings
°t third and fourth floors, and having a total capacity of 84 beds. Here
its can be carefully supervised, and occupational and recrea*
I therapy can be planned for them. The unit is under the direction
°f Sister Juliana, who has had special work in Neuropsychiatries Nursing.
during the first part of June, two head nurses went away for supple-
iry work in Neouropsychiatric Nursing, In order to be able to assist
pervlslon and management of the unit
While it is not yet possible to execute in a small unit all forms of
j>y needed by the patients, we believe that a forward step has been
toade toward the more efficient and more modern administration of
KeuropsychiatrSc care.
To make room for the new N euro psychiatric Unit, It was necessary
>pen several wards on the seventh floor for male genilo-urtnary pa-
Ug C'TAPTTY H05PITAL^1944-194fi
UenU ; Since male E. E. N. T. patients were already occupying war
that floor, there are now only two wards, with about fifty beds
remaining vacant on the seventh floor.
Plan* for Special Infant Unit
In conjunction with the Louisiana State Board of Health, the
? n J?« Bureau, Department of Labor, Washington, la making plana I
establishment in the South of a center for postgraduate training v
nursing of premature infants. Charity Hospital was asked to parti,
in this program because of the number of premature infants we ha
all times. Plans include the special preparation of supervisory staff rnen^
hers The Children's Bureau and the State Department of Health ar*
providing scholarships to send nurses from our staff to recognized < <
of training, for advanced courses in the nursing of premature infants.
Additional equipment has been ordered for the Special Infant

Clinical Teaching Program
The clinical teaching, or ward teaching program, as it is commonly
I, was greatly strengthened during the past year because of the ap-
pointment of several clinical instructors who devote their entire time to
the teaching of students. While they teach their specialties in the class-
room, most of their time is spent in teaching ward classes and in follow-
up work with students on the patient floors. The purpose of the ward
teaching program is to assist the students In applying to the actual pra-
ties of caring for patients, the principles which they learn in the classroom
and the laboratory; This will result, we believe, in a superior quality of
nursing care,
Participation in the Cadet Nurse Corps
Ninety-six per cent of our students are members of the U. S. Cadet
le Corps, We received from the federal government during the past
fiscal year a total of $215,667.40 for the education of the Cadet Nurses.
Miss Elsie Berdan, Nursing Education Consultant of the U, S. Public
Health Service, made a survey of the School of Nursing this spring, re~
porting favorably on our program.
According to the provisions of the Cadet Nurse Corps, our cadet stu-
dents are privileged to reauest a transfer to one of the Federal hospitals
for the senior cadet period, which is their last six months in training.
Fifty per cent of each of our classes has been released for this purpose.
The other cadets remained with us, and a few senior cadets from other
ftcboote transferred here for their senior cadet period. As senior cadets
prove to be in actual practice comparable to graduate nurses in value of
service, we used them to advantage during our shortage of graduate
nurses.
Appreciation
We wish to express our sincere gratitude to the members of the
Board of Administrators, to Doctor Daly, and to Dr. Fullen for their con*
stant Interest in the affairs of the Nursing Department and for their as-
sistance in working out our problems. We are also grateful for the co-
operation and assistance rendered by the heads of other departments, the
medical staff and the members of the teaching staffs of the Louisiana
State University School of Medicine and the Tulane University School of
Medicine.

APPRECIATION
In spite of war conditions, a few much needed pieces of small equip-
ment were acquired during the year. Two dishwashing machines, pantry
trucks, and other much needed minor equipment were procured and
are much appreciated.
This year has found food and equipment costs still rising, and pro-
visions very difficult to secure. The combined efforts or the Purchasing
Department. Personnel Department, Dietary Department and the Admin-
istrative Office, have made it possible for us to maintain our department
fractions at a remarkably high level during this critical time. We are
**ry grateful to all those who have assisted.
Ventilation of the floor pantries has been a real benefit to the depart-
ment, and we are grateful to all who helped make this possible.
wish to express our appreciation to the Director, the Board of
Administrators, and the medical staff for the help extended to us through-
out the year. We are especially grateful to the doctors of both Tulane
•rsity and Louisiana State University medical schools, who gave so
freeJy of their time in instructing the dietitian interns, as well as to the
other departments who also lectured to the students, especially the Nurs-
ing Service, Housekeeping Department and Social Service Department We
also wish to thank all departments for their cooperation.
Respectfully submitted.

to make gowns for patients, doctors, and nurses.
m REPORT OF HOUSEKEEPING DEPARTMENT 131
Throughout the year It has been necessary to issue immediately to
the wards the linen delivered from the laundry Just off the jpressers. This
was a source of much difficulty for the Laundry Manager when at times
he could not arrange to wash it as promptly as it was needed. The work
in the linen room was also delayed because the morning supply could
not be estimated and distributed until all the linen from the laundry had
been delivered. The additional wear on the linen has doubled th©
amount of mending that must be done daily. Heretofore, there have been
three seamstresses on full time mending. This past year two additional
seamstresses were employed to work on mending. It must be remem-
1. too, that some of the cotton materials are manufactured now with
a lower thread count, which also reduce wearing quality* Thus, the ad*
iitional wear on the linen accounts also for the need of a greater output.
Requisitions for new materials by the various departments have increased
more rapidly than material can be obtained or made up.
In view of the present situation we suggest that the purchasing of
-made hospital gowns be considered, as it seems impossible to get
sufficient material to make the number of gowns needed for such a large
tution. Furthermore, the gown manufacturing companies have good
quality materials which are not available to the hospitals. The immedi-
ate need for action in this matter is urgent at this time, in order to keep
ward units and operating rooms supplied with the necessary linen.
We wish to express our sincere appreciation to the Director and his
Administrative Staff, and to the Board of Directors for the generous as-
sistance which has been given to the Housekeeping Division during the
past year. We gratefully acknowledge also the interest and cooperation
we have received from all Department Heads.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT
July I, 1944 through June 30, 1945
STAFF
During the year the turnover in the depart meat waa approxil!
equal to that uf ihe previous fiscal year. In the entire start there
14 resignations and 4 requests for leave: 9 resignations and 3
for leave in the professional staff; and 5 resignations and 1 reque^
leave in the clerical staff, There were 14 replacements: 9 in the
fessional staff and 5 in the clerical staff. There was one pron
the professional staff: from Medical Social Worker I to Medii
Worker II. One position, Medical Social Worker II, was abolished be,
It had been vacant SO days prior to 12-31-44, It had never been po
to fill this position because only a part time salary was available.
During the year raises were secured for all but three of the worker?:
the last three raises were not approved because of lack of funds.
WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT
During the year the department carried out its two functions: to pro-
vide case work services to patients under treatment In Chi*
wards, clinics, accident and admitting departments, and to ri
eligibility of applicants for free medical care.
Case Work Services
Service Assignments — In 1943-44 it had been possible to eliu,
general clinic service and divide most of the services on \ and
clinic basis. In 1944-1945 the division was carried a step further: the ser*
vices were divided into Tulane and L. S. TJ. instead of v.
This proved helpful for it not only tended to give the v,
with their patients and a feeling of being part of a team with the m
staff, but it also gave the workers experience with both white and
male and female patients. Work with Negro patients only was ffn
because of lack of resources In the community for Negroes.
During the year that one supervisor was on leave, It became
and more apparent that the department could not function n
with three supervisors. It was decided, therefore, that one memli
ease work staff would he promoted to the supervisory staff am;
the service assignments would be divided among the supervisors,
advantage of such an arrangement was that it gave the super
contact with patients.
Case Load — During the year the workers handled 32,709 cases or **
average of 2725.S cases a month as shown hy the following table:

•The figures for March, 1945 are low as statistical material compiled
by a volunteer aide was lost
An analysis of the work of the Hospital Intake Unit for the year
has shown a steady increase in the number of patients found in-
fole for free medical care. In 1942*43 the percentage of ineligibility
was 12#, In 1943-44 28% and for the year 1944-45 38%, the latter per-
•ze being triple to that of the total for 1942-43, when the unit was
This is problably due in part to the fact that economic conditions
have improved in the state as a result of the war, and in part to the fact
that the workers have become more skilled in interviewing and weeding
out ineligible patients.
During the year 22 ineligible patients were admitted because It was
impossible for them to secure accommodations tn private hospitals. The
number of ineligible patients were admitted to the hospital during
rious fiscal year for the same reason.
STUDENT TRAINING PROGRAM
Twenty*seven students from tbe Tulane School of Social Work were
placed in the department during the summer, fall and spring semesters.
This was five more than had been placed during the previous fiscal year.
Tula? ^sponsible for the supervision of 17 students while tbe de-
partment was responsible for the supervision of 10, which is approxinr
the same number of students supervised last year by workers connected
with the department.
During the year one of the supervisors who had been a, field work
instructor left the department and it was necessary for one oC the staff
nor 5- in her place,

partment con tinned to participate in the educational program of the

operation of the department in making a survey of the chronically
New Orleans. Information was being compiled in the hope that it
he presented to the 1946 Legislature when measures for the care o
chronically ill were to be Introduced.
Statistics
On the oasis of the findings of the volunteer committee of five
i out the new statistics devised by the United Hospital Fund of
York on a three months experimental period, the staff decided to
the new form because it lessened the amount of work involved in com!
ing the statistics as well as because it afforded a better case connt i
made the workers more aware of their recording or lack of recording.
Recording
In November, 1944 a staff committee completed an expe?
recording, The committee had two assignments: 1) to studv :
an experimental outline for recording, and 2} to attempt to foi-nui
statement of standard practices related to recording for the dei-
The outline for medical social recordfng which had been devised i
use of the Tulane School of Social Work students was utilized as
basis for the study. As a result of the study the staff agreed th;u
outline should be adopted for use in the department and that an at
should be made to have at least one-third of the caseload in the form
narrative recording.
Staff Meetings
Staff meetings which were held every other week Included dlscm
of statistics, recording, programs of other organizations which mi*l
helpful to the department.
Supervisory Program
Conferences were held with the supervisory staff weekly At thei*
meetings workers presented difficult cases for which no solution had b
found. Current social work literature was discussed and adminK
problems were brought up.
Staff Council
The staff council explored the problem of workers coming in \&u
workers not attending staff meetings and of failing to belong to in
sional organizations as well as discussed the basis on which worker* w«*
selected for raises. *»»wr» w*r

With the continued depletion of technical personnel it has been neces-
•a*7 to institute measures to reduce the volume of tests performed by the
tortaton of Diagnostic Laboratories, With the approval of the Administra-
te authorities of the hospital changes in routine procedure were made
to effect this decrease.
t Serology— Kline tests for syphilis are performed on all specimens
*^ Koimer complement fixation tests are used for confirmation and check,
'Hiis has effected a 20,4% reduction,
£ Biochemistry— All special tests are on an appointment or quota
oasis. "Rush" determinations are accepted only after consultation with a
Member of the medical staff of the Department of Pathology. This has
A a 22.1% decrease.
3. Bacteriology— Practically the entire reduction of 2,026, or 5.1%, has
pffected by a reduction in requests for unnecessary agglutination
4, Out^Patient Clinic Laboratory— Reduced 23,4% by the elimination of
^on-pBsential tests and duplications.
B, Emergency Laboratory— Reduced 44.5% largely due to elimination of
felood grouping and matching tests and Klines on donors. The greater
tart of this is now performed by the Blood Bank,
6. Blood Typing and Matching — All routine blood typing and matching
*as transferred to the Blood Bank on September 1, 1944.
7. Basal Metabolic Laboratory—Reduced slightly by accepting all re-
Iteita on an appointment basis.
8. Friedman Laboratory— Reduced slightly by accepting requests on a
limitation basis.
There were small increases in Hematology, Parasitology and the Ven-
diagnostic Laboratory.
The measures taken were effective In reducing the volume to the
*4 level. This still remains an extremely heavy work load for the
todbldual personnel, since there has been considerable reduction in per-
*°fifie! over the same period.

There were 45 or 4.6% fewer autopsies performed in the previo«»

shortage and not to any lack of effort on the part of the staff
tempting to secure permission for necropsy. It was necessary on sow*
occasions to release bodies on which permission for autopsy had bet*
granted due to this unfortunate situation. Both the total number an

The School of Medical Technology is approved by the American
Medical Association and by the Registry of Medical Technologists of the
American Society of Clinical Pathologists, Well qualified students who
**id a degree from a recognized college or university are accepted for
°*e year of training. At ihe end of this period they are eligible for ex-
ftfetaatfon and registration by the Registry.
During the period of training students are of invaluable assistance to
to* Department. At the completion of training two of our students were
employed to fill vacancies in the Department, one married and the other
Preferred employment elsewhere.
The Post Graduate course in Parasitology continues to attract Medical
ologfsts from distant points. Three are accepted each month for
ttte course. In return for the training and experience they receive they
five the Department valuable assistance.

According to a ruling by the Board of Administrators of Charity Hospi-
Ui, and beginning on 10/28/44 the charge of fifty cents for an original
certificate was discontinued.
All unclaimed adult bodies are turned over to the Louisiana State
Anatomical Board since it began to function following its creation by legis-
ktfve act in May, 1944.
EQUIPMENT
An air-conditioning unit was installed in the Morgue Amphitheatre in
•a effort to relieve the intolerable heat In this sub-basement room. TJn-
Lately this unit has never operated satisfactorily. Efforts are being
fcade to have it serviced and placed In satisfactory operating condition.
Two raw modern stainless steel autopsy tables T^ere purchased and
fciUUed in* * large room in the morgue unit. The installation of these
i44j t .lee has relieved congestion when several autopsies arise
,oiuly, and have eliminated delays in releasing bodies to the
tftdertakers-
Fluorescent lighting and an exhaust fan Were installed in the new
»«topsy room. This has made working conditions more comfortable and
feat increased the efficiency of the unit.
PERSONNEL
The shortage of medical personnel continues to be felt by the Itepart-
■Jtot Under the hospital quota one Resident was assigned to the Depart-
ed Pathology. He began hia residency on October 1, 1944 and under
9-0 program will complete his service on March 31, 1946.
In March the quota of Restdents in Pathology was raised to two A
■•eottd Resident has been appointed and will begin his residency on July
*46 CHARITY HOSPITAL— 1944-1945
On July 1, 1944 the technical staff numbered 12 with 6 labo
helpers. At this time there are 9 Medical Technologists and 3 Labo
Helpers, It is expected that students of Medical Technology who .
plete their training shortly will be employed to fill some of these **
cancies.
The very efficient Medical Secretarial Staff has rendered Inva
service to the Department, In addition to the very heavy volir
records prepared they have assisted the Medical Stair in tho pi
of scientific papers, compilation of statistical data from thf
records, and the preparation of numerous statistical and otlit-
reports.
The most difficult positions in the Department to fill have be* 1
Morgue Attendants (autopsy assistants). Of the five positions onl
has been filled continuously by a man who has been in the employ
Hospltal 16 years. Fifteen individuals have accepted employment to
other four vacancies. Of these t one man remained eight month?,
others averaged from one day to one month. It is doubtful that this sit*
tion will Improve until some time after the end of the war when th
military leave return or there is a change in the employment sittut
OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE DEPARTMENT
The Director of the Department attended the Southern Medical S
convention held in St. Louis, Missouri in November.
With Doctors Schenken and Burns of the Visiting Staff fron

Dear Doetor Daly:
I submit to you the following report of the activities of the Anesthesia
Department from July 1, 1944 to June 30, 1945.
The activities of the Anesthesia Department have differed little from
those of previous years. The shortage of trained personnel has continued
to be acute- Likewise, the shortage of technicians in the oxygen therapy
has continued to be a problem.
Ten papers from the department were accepted for publication in
various scientific medical journals. Members of the staff were invited *to
present papers at fourteen hospital staff meetings and medical conventions
in and out of the city.
The following statistical data summarizes the professional activity of
the department:

REPORT OF BLOOD PLASMA BANK
July 1, 1944 to June 30, 1945
November 19, 1945
O. P. Daly, M.D.
Director, Charity Hospital
New Orleans, Louisiana
Dear Dr. Daly;
I submit to you the following report of the actlviUea of the I
Plasma Bank from July 1 P 1944 to June 30, 1945.
The consolidation and centralisation of the various blood banks
tofore conducted by individual doctors and services into one singh
under my directorship was accomplished October 1, 1944. Delays in :■
ing apparatus and equipment caused by the war were disconcerting
retarded the organization almost eight months The blood bank, as
now arranged, consists of two units — a laboratory, which is located oi
east wing of the 12th floor, and a donor's station, which is on the
wing of the first fioor. The location of the donor's station oo the
floor is a very desirable feature as it is readily accessible to donors, wbe
as a rule, are not familiar with the hospital. The location of the labor
likewise* is a desirable feature because of its proximity to the operating
rooms, inasmuch as most of the blood is used for surgery, The la
is staffed with three technicians, two laboratory helpers, and a i
laboratory is in charge of Mr. Joseph Stiles, who has done excel I
in the organization of the bank. Typing, matching, serological examina
preparation, culturing of plasma, preparation of media, and other labor*
tory procedures incident to handling of whole blood and plasma ar
out in this division. The laboratory also is equipped with bottle wn
equipment, a triple still for preparation of pyrogen free wat-
and other necessary items for preparation of equipment for coll?
blood and storage of plasma- All blood is stored In the refrigerate
the 12th floor, and is distributed from this point. Unused blood is re'
to the laboratory for, disposal and storage.
The donors' station Is staffed with four technicians, These tectin:
who are graduate nurses, draw the blood and care for the donors,
are assisted by voluntary aides from the American Red Cross. It
have been impossible to operate the bank without the aid of the*
tary workers. The resident physician anesthetists are available to
upon physical and other qualifications of the donors. Provisions are
for the segregation of colored and white donors. All blood is Co,
the donor's station during the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. and stored
laboratory after being typed and examined serologically. Facilitk
available for the bleeding of twenty donors at one time should the
arise.
Donors are solicited by the members of the house staff from re!
and frienda of the patients. Each service maintains an account In the baa*
on a debit-credit system. Blood is available twenty-four hours a da
emergencies and can be secured for such emergencies in the leng:
time required for matching.
Certain Innovations and improvements have been instituted drain
year. The open system heretofore employed has been discarded. The •
system is used exclusively in collection and storage of blood and pi.
The transfusion equipment is similar to and can be Interchanged
_ REPORT OF BLOOD PLASMA BANK 153
osed for other intravenous fluids throughout the hospital- Donors are now
accepted according: to the standards laid down by the American Red Cross
w4 rejected if not physically fit. A system of reporting and investigation
of reactions has been instituted. Rh studies, cultures, tests of pyrogen, and
other precautions to insure the safety of transfusions have gradually been
introduced.
In June 1945 the mobile unit donated by the American Legion Auxiliary
was placed In operation for collecting blood throughout the state for pro-
cessing into (plasma. The unit visited various communities in the vicinity
of New Orleans.

REPORT POLIOMYELITIS CENTER
July 1, 1944 to June 30, 1945
Prior to the year of 1943 an average of 10$ cases of Poliomyelitis oc-
curred annually (over a 10 year period) in the State of Louisiana for which
there were no facilities available for treatment In the earlier stages of
the disease, in order to meet this need a Poliomyelitis Center was estab-
lished and operated jointly by the Section of Crippled Children Services,
Louisiana State Board of Health and Charity Hospital, in cooperation with
Tutene University Medical School and Louisiana State University Medical
Center, and being financially assisted by various parish chapters of the
National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis throughout the State.
This Center was located In New Orleans because orthopedic surgeons,
pediatricians, and other medical specialists were willing and eager to offer
their services, and Charity Hospital readily provided facilities. As a war*
time measure it was felt that this Center could be utilized to serve the
State as a whole, since other cities In the State could not supply the
necessary medical personnel.
Many obstacles have been encountered in maintaining this Center.
With the shortage of trained personnel it was often necessary that doctors,
curses and attendants work long hours in order to give a high degree
of service. The problem of transporting children from remote sections to
this Center was a tremendous task. Parents often found it impossible to
visit their children at regular intervals. Their doubts and fears were
natural ones. The personnel at this Center understood and tried to alleviate
them. When it was possible for them to visit their children, they were
impressed by the happiness and well-being of all the patients as well as
their own child.
It was recognized that medical care, however good it might he, would
Rot benefit the child to its fullest extent unless the emotional needs were
gnized and fostered. For this reason parties, motion pictures, shows
and muskal programs were often given In the wards. The delight of the
youngsters was a source of Inspiration to all.
Now that the Poliomyelitis Center has met the emergency in caring for
32a C ases of acute and suspected Infantile Paralysis patients coming from
tfcally every parish in the State of Louisiana since its organization in
many requests have been made in other areas In the State for
•rs to be established and operated In like manner. Plans have been
"uggested and facilities are available in the Shrevcporl and Monroe Areas.
Il is contemplated that such centers will be opened in the near future.
Poliomyelitis localized somewhat during 1945 In the northern area of the
rrefore it Is logical to have poliomyelitis centers in these areas.
tally since orthopedic surgeons, pediatricians, and other medical spe-
ts have returned from the war and are now locating in the northern
area of the state.
From July 1, 1944 to June 30, 1945 there were 103 cases admitted and
■ d In the Center. Fifteen per cent (15%) of this number were trane-
harged as not being poliomyelitis. Eighty-five percent (85%)
] poliomyelitis eases reported to the Epidemiology Department, Loui-
tte Department of Health, have been admitted and treated at the
Poliomyelitis Center.
156 CHARITY HOSPITAL^l&44-1945

throughout the State in the nearest orthopedic clinic maintained by the

Gentlemen:
From July 1, 1944 to June 30, 1945, the Lung Station continued to
collect data on pulmonary function in normal children in order to establish
average normal values for this age group. In addition the Station carried
out studies of pulmonary function on 95 patients. As will be seen from
the table below, the majority of these determinations have been done on
Patients being considered for thoracic surgery. In more than half of the
Patients fcefng evaluated for projected surgery, catheterization of the
bronchi was performed in order to establish the function of each lung.
Each spirographic determination Is supplemented by time-consuming chemi-
cal analyses of multiple samples of expired air. Tabulation of the patients
studied in the Lung Station during the year is as follows:

Crafts
Because the child must be provided with a variety of experiences in
the manipulation of tools and materials, a part of each school day is de-
moted to crafts. Children learn to do simple weaving on frames and looms,
crocheting, knitting and soap carving, The making of place cards, favors,
and party novelties Is correlated with the work of this period.
Parties and Recreational Activities
Birthdays of the child-patient, special holidays, and anniversaries are

give the youngsters a good time and to send them back to their wards
refreshed and happy. Listed below are some of the recreational activities
of the year.

ant, a program giving the child information, skills, and attitudes important
for a satisfactory personality adjustment.
