PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT REPORT
July I, 1953 to June 30, 1954
AH personnel actions are governed by the rules of Civil Service and
the increased amount of work brought about by the necessity for sub-
mitting forms affecting: personnel of the hospital to the State Civil Serv
Department resulted in an expansion of the department and the employ-
ment of additional clerical help. The personnel functions of the Nursing
Service Department were combined with this office and all files, recor
personnel and effects of that service were transferred from the fifth floor
to the second floor. This move was accomplished with little difficulty and
was made possible by furnishing the Personnel Department with the office
space vacated by the Purchasing Department.
j Service Ratings, prepared in the departments on all personnel who
had been employed in the hospital for a period of three months or m<.
were processed through this office and all appeals were heard and sett
by a special board. No appeal was referred beyond that board to -
Department of State Civil Service.
Representatives of the Department of State Civil Service have con-
u- u many . J° b audits of positions throughout the hospital and posit i.
which were improperly classified have been reallocated. Spot-cheeks v
be made in all areas from time to time to insure our adherence to the
specifications set up in the class plan. Other officials of that departm,
have spent several days in the personnel office checking its records and
eliminating discrepancies. A most favorable report was submitted to I
State Director of Personnel by these people.

SISTERS' DIVISION REPORT Dl
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SISTERS DIVISIONS
Fiscal Year July 1, 1953 to June 30, 1954
The over-all-planning coordination and control of the activities of the
Nursing Department, The Schools of Nursing, both Professional and Prac-
tical, and the Dietary Department, and the Housekeeping Department, all
•red to the Sisters Divisions, have functioned smoothly and satisfactory
during the past fiscal year.
The Sisters directing these departments will make detailed reports so
this report will be brief and of a general nature.
The department of Professional School of Nursing have made the
necessary changes in their curriculum, so as to meet the requirements of
the National Accreditation Committee, which was recommended, with the
view of receiving Full Accreditation, the school received Temporary Ac-
nation in the year of 1953, we believe by raising our educational
standards, we hope to achieve greater efficiency, and better care of our
patients, will also be a valuable asset in the recruitment program, thereby
enabling us to recruit and select qualified members for our Nursing Staff.
The Nursing Service Department continues to give efficient service to
the various departments, despite the fact of the nursing shortage of
graduate nurses, while the task to supply the demand has been most
arduous in an effort to give adequate service to our patients, we wish to
commend ■•rs" . . . the Graduate Nurses" . . . for their generosity
in taking additional duties to supply for the vacancies in the graduate staff.
The School of Practical Nursing continues to give efficient service to
the patients we feel the thorough preparation they receive during their
training course, makes them aware of the needs of the patients, and we
hope to retain them, or most of them for Nursing Service in Charity
Hospital,
The Dietary Department has completed another successful year. The
high standards of food service to the patients and personnel has been main-
tained, the Dietetic Interns training has met the requirements of the
American Dietetic Association.
The housekeeping throughout the hospital and the living quarters of
the personnel has been efficiently carried on through the year. A series
of educational conferences to the personnel in this department has been
given, and has proved very beneficial by improving the methods of clean-
ing, also has been a great help in the morale of the workers.
In February of this year 1954, it was deemed advisable to re-allocate
the Anesthesia and Recovery Rooms to the 12th floor center, the close
proximity to the operating rooms, has increased the efficiency in the care
<>f the patients, the Surgeons and Anesthesia Staff, are in constant at-
tendance with these patients, and the new equipment provided is most
valuable, in preventing shock to the patients, there is no unnecessary mov-
ing, with such close medical and nursing supervision the patients remain
iese recovery rooms, until they can be safely transferred to their
live wards. Another room has been provided to take care of con-
tagious cases, who have had to be operated upon, where special isolation
technic can be carried out.
During the re-construction of these rooms, it was thought advisable
to provide electrical wiring for the use of the Iron Lung, which has been
installed and has been used to the great advantage of certain type of
operative patients, the nursing personnel in this department are specially
trained, which facilitates the care of the patients.

Administrative Changes and Accomplishment* in the
Nursing Service Department
The Nursing Personnel Office, fifth floor, was consolidated with the
Personnel Department, second floor, in October, 1953. This change re-
lieved the Nursing Service Office of the responsibility for interviewing,
selecting, processing, and maintaining records on employees in the Nursing
Service Department.
The one-week orientation program for nurses was reduced to a maxi-
mum of one day in November, 1953. The routine physical examination re-
quired for nurses upon appointment to the staff is scheduled on the day
of orientation.
The nurse aide trainee program was terminated in January, 1954. At
that time, the Department of State Civil Service had established ft roster
of certified nurse aides, and trainees in the Nursing Service Department at
Charity Hospital could not be assured of job opportunities upon comple-
tion of the nurse aide course. During the first six months of this fiscal
year, 41 nurse aides were trained and emploved on the Nursing Service
staff.
The white and colored male urology patients were moved from eighth
floor to eleventh floor, the white and colored pediatric tuberculosis patients
from third floor of the White and Colored Tuberculosis Building to fourth
floor of the Poliomyelitis Center, and the Recovery Room patients from
eleventh floor to the new Recovery Room on twelfth floor. The rearrange-
ment of these services has resulted in more adequate nursing care for the
patients.
The Committee on Nursing Procedure Revisions which is composed of
representatives from the Charity Hospital School of Nursing, the Charity
Hospital School of Practical Nursing and the Nursing Service Department
was very active during the year. The Committee reviewed forty recom-
mendations for nursing procedure revision or initial development of new
procedures. Twenty-three revisions were completed and one new procedure
accepted.
The Health Clinic located in C602 reports a total of 3,676 patient
visits during the fiscal year. In addition to these clinic visits, protective
vaccination against typhoid fever was given to 331 patients, and a series
of immunizations against tetanus was started with the initial administra-
tion of tetanus toxoid to 352 student nurses.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SCHOOL OF NURSING
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR
June 30, 1953 to June 30, 19S4
The school of nursing recognizing that its first responsibility is
education of the students whom it admits has concentrated on this
sponsibility during the past year.
CURRICULUM
In the curriculum the subjects and total number of hours of class
taught have not been notably changed, but the placement and sequ,
have been rearranged to provide a block of learning in which experii
on the ward and related classroom teaching are given concurrently. This
arrangement has decreased the average hours of class per week as well
as making the total learning situation more meaningful.
Besides the change in the class and experience schedule the instruo I
have assumed the responsibility of guiding and evaluating the work of the
students on the wards thus relieving the nursing service personnel of <-
siderable responsibility and at the same time insuring supervision of |
Students' work. To do this it was necessary to limit the areas in which
students had practice rather than placing them in ail units throughout
hospital as was formerly done.
Over and above the improved education with consequent improved
patient care desired by the school itself, the change made has been ;.
forward in meeting the recommendations of the Louisiana State Board
Nurses Examiners, nameiy: 1) supervised practice, 2) forty hour
3) reduction of evening and night duty from the current aver ; .
twenty-three and twenty weeks respectively to the maximum of twi
and ten weeks permitted.
INSTRUCTIONAL PERSONNEL
The teaching personnel with the exception of several meet the edi:
tionai and experience requirements. The several who do not are i>r.
attending classes at Louisiana State University. During the year i -,-.
structors earned the Masters degree, and one is working toward it. Th
have been thirteen resignations with nine replacements.
STATE BOARD OF NURSES EXAMINERS ANNUAL REPORT
Miss Carrie Spurgeon, Educational Supervisor of the State, made the
official annual visit to the school on May 25 and 26 at which time she
viewed with the faculty the educational program, and discussed with
teachers and the supervisory staff of nursing service the current p ( .
and practices relating to the work experience of students. The report
dicates satisfaction with the progress being made, and recommendat:.
for improvement included: 1) additional hand washing facilities in 1):
£) utilization of the Out- Patient Department and the Poliomyelitis <
for student experience, 3) elimination of night duty in the psychiatric .•
communicable disease services, and 4) application for national accredit*-

NATIONAL ACCREDITATION
It ia the ambition of the school to apply for national accreditation
during the year 1955 before the term of Temporary Accreditation which
the school presently enjoys. The need for such recognition becomes more
evident each year.
RECRUITMENT
Efforts are being made to increase the student enrollment. The goal
for the Fall class is one hundred and fifty students. The chief means of
recruitment is the school catalog which is mailed to the accredited high
schools in the Southern states. The school participates with the State
Nurses Association Recruitment Committee and thus has an opportunity
to make visits to local schools. Newspaper publicity is obtained whenever
possible for the school activities.

The Dietary Department graduated twelve dietetic interns, one of
whom accepted a position on the staff.
Miss Wilma Robinson, Educational Director of the American Dietetic
Association, inspected the internship in April, and again approved it to
be continued. The recommendation to give the dietetic intern experience
in the pay cafeteria at Baptist Hospital was carried out. The dietetic
intern's service with this new affiliation covers eight successive weeks, four
each of Pay Cafeteria and Private Tray Service.
The Dietary Staff works constantly with Tulane and Louisiana State
Universities Medical Staffs in conducting special dietary studies. Among
these were a study of a non-residue diet to show the effect on the lj
of vitamin and mineral deficiency and a body chloride imbalance estimate.

A vegetable chopper was purchased which has enabled us to prepare
all vegetables both for cookery and for salads, in the vegetable room
rather than the kitchen as formerly.
Our hamburger machine was completely overhauled and put in first
class working order.
A dish scraping unit was constructed in the General Dining Room
(formerly White Employees') to facilitate the service in this dining room.
Blue plastic dishes were purchased for all dining rooms to repl:
the white ones formerly used.
Two large pedestal fans were purchased and installed in the Gradu:.
Nurses' Dining Room to help relieve the excessive heat.
With the renovation of the Dibert Building many improvements w
made which were beneficial to the Dietary Department. A stainless st
4 burner stove was moved from the Formula Room to the Dibert Building
where it was badly needed.
The cafeteria line was redesigned in the Student Nurses' Home. The
dining room was painted and redecorated and new drapes were hung.
The 11th floor was opened for Dietary Tray Service.
Civil Service classifications were completed on Dietary Department
employees.

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE FOLLOW-UP OF
ALCOHOLICS TREATED IN THE ALCOHOLIC
REHABILITATION WARD AND CLINIC
July 1, 1953 to June 30, 1954
_ Three hundred eighteen alcoholics had been treated in the ward and
clinic. Each of these patients was sent a questionnaire. Up until June 30,
1954, answers had been received from 94 patients or 29.6% of the total
group. Sixty questionnaires or 18.8% were returned because the patient
no longer lived at the given address and his present address was unknown.
This leaves 164 patients or 51,6% of the total group who have apparently
received the questionnaire and have not as yet returned it.
Of the 94 patients who have answered the questionnaire, 78 or 82.:
were not drinking, 6 or 7.6% did not answer the question pertaining
sobriety, and 10 or 10.6% were drinking. Below is a table illustrating
the sobriety distribution of the 78 patients who said they were i
drinking.

AND BLOOD BANK
July 1, 1953 to June 30, 1954
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1954, a number of changes
were made in the Anesthesia Department and in the Blood Bank. The
salary for residents was increased. The quota was increased. Dr. Marg:i
Kerr remained on the staff but was classified as an Anesthesiologist I by
Civil Service. In addition a position of Assistant to the Director was
created which was filled by Doctor Helen Wallace, one of our former
residents. Dr. John Parmley, Director of Anesthesia at Hotel Dieu and Dr.
Walter Mannheimer, Director of Anesthesia at the Veterans Administra-
tion Hospital were appointed to assist in the instruction and supervision
of residents.
New equipment was purchased to permit the performance of mor.
surgical procedures requiring hypothermia. A electrically driven cooling
blanket, a recording rectal thermometer, a COs analyzer oximeter and a
Bennett positive pressure apparatus were purchased. A dozen oxygen tents
lor pediatric use were likewise added to the equipment as well as two
dozen oxygen regulators for administering oxygen by the cathc
technique. The quota of residents was increased to twelve. During -
year 22,000 anesthetics of all types were administered to obstetrical and
surgical patients.
, I" the Blood Bank the system of processing and manufacturing our
bottles and tubings were discontinued and the standard vacuum disposable
equipment was adopted. During the year there were 19,757 transfusions
administered and 21,000 bottles of blood collected.

LUNG STATION 139
LUNG STATION
July 1, 1953 to June 30, 1954
During the fiscal year from July 1, 1953 to June 30, 1954 the
facilities of the Lung Station were considerably expanded physically.
The addition of new space allowed rearrangement of diagnostic and thera-
peutic facilities to achieve a more functional integration with the facilities
of the Heart Station. New diagnostic equipment was installed and should
be in operation during the next fiscal year.
Partial or complete studies of ventilatory function accounted for
five hundred and twenty-four examinations. The respiratory studies in-
volving the determination of pulmonary gas exchange were carried out on
fifty-seven occasions. Bronchospirometry was performed thirty-six times
during the year. Arterial blood studies were done on twenty-nine oc-
casions. Miscellaneous pulmonary diagnostic studies accounted for forty-
three studies.
The therapeutic facilities for the Lung Station had been overtaxed
during the previous fiscal year and it was necessary to greatly restrict
intermittent positive pressure aerosol therapy in the Lung Station. Never-
theless, one-hundred and fifty-one positive pressure treatments were given.
Although the Lung Station was unable to devote additional time to inhala-
tional therapy, residents in the hospital were permitted to sign out the
therapy equipment for ward use tinder their own supervision. Continuous,
controlled induction of pneumothorax was carried out on two occasions
for special therapeutic reasons.

I. INTRODUCTION
This annual report for the fiscal year 1953-54 has been prepared
from documents and committee meetings available in the office of
the Medical Director for the Premature Center by Doctor William
T. Newsom, who assumed the duties of Medical Director for the
Premature Center on August 16, 1954, Doctor Elaine Allen, the
former Medical Director for the Premature Center, left in the files
certain preliminary drafts of material which she felt should be in-
cluded in this annual report. Such information is included as noted
in quotation marks.
II. ADMINISTRATIVE AND COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES
The Committee on the Premature Infant Center of Charity Hos-
pital met five times during the fiscal year. During the course of four
142 CHARITY HOSPITAL — 1953-1954
of these meetings, all held in 1953, the following material was dis-
cussed and acted upon as indicated:
1. Many problems related to nursing personnel and the special
premature infant nursing course were discussed in detail and occa-
sionally definitive action was taken, such as an invitation to the
Director of the School of Nursing of Charity Hospital to be made
a member of this Committee.
2. The final report of the Urban Life Research Institute Study
was brought up for discussion several times and the Committee
ommended that this report be presented to the Charity Hospital Board
of Administrators for permission to release the information contained
in it.
3. Suggestions were made regarding the initiation of another
study be done with the aim in mind of analyzing specific duties and
responsibilities of all levels of nursing personnel. Plans for such a
study were later prepared but never discussed further {apparently
because of lack of approval of the funds necessary to employ an
experienced person capable of conducting such an investigation ) .
The final meeting of the Committee on the Premature Infant
Center during this fiscal year was held on June 30, 1954, at which
time the recommendation was made for the appointment of Doc-
William T. Newsom as the Medical Director of the Premature Center
to replace Doctor Elaine Allen, who had resigned on January 30 and
left the Center in April 1954.
The Steering Committee of the Premature Infant Center met
twice during this fiscal year, both times in January 1954. The fi
meeting considered steps to establish the position of Supervisor for
the Premature Center and recommendations were made that this
included in the preparation of the budget for the next fiscal y*
Revisions of the sections of the special project planned for the tra
ing program in the Care of Premature Infants that applied to the
Nursing Educational Director were presented to the Director of |
LSU Department of Nursing Education. These revisions were «;
cussed at length and with minor changes were referred to the me
bers of the Committee on Premature Infant Care. However.
further official action in regard to adopting these changes has tu-
rn ade.
The Medical Director distributed to members of the Commi'
on Premature Infant Care just prior to her leaving a brief sumni..
of major problems for definitve consideration and action by the
Premature Committee, The major problem described was that rein-
to person nei shortage, inadequate space and facilities to meet peak
population loads and the resulting curtailment of many important
and necessary service functions. Concern was also expressed over I
inadequacy of supervision of student nurses assigned to the 1
Definitive policies related to the transportation of premature mfaj
to this Center from other hospitals have not allowed for utiliznt-
of the Premature Follow-up Clinic in the fields of service and
teaching. A suggested Physician's Discharge Summary Sheet should
be considered to become part of the premature's permanent hospital
record. The last specific recommendation made by Doctor Allen :
consideration as "outstanding business" is as follows : "In spite of
several attempts and abortive discussions, the Committee has not a<
quately discussed and evaluated the Urban Life Report in terms
significance for the practice on our own Unit. Instead, this type
evaluation was deferred until another study, this one regarding he
PREMATURE INFANT CARE CENTER 143
nurse functions, could be made. Since funds for this, second study
have not been approved, it would seem desirable at this time to give
serious consideration, not just lip-service, to the value of the Urban
Life Report, and trv to learn something from it, and make applica-
tion of this. For instance, the study would seem to indicate that
more formal recognition be given to the role the aides play to the
operation of the unit. For example, should they not chart those
procedures they perform? And should not conditions be created that
would permit inservice education to proceed?"
A Newborn Nursery Committee was appointed to consider the
possibility of relieving the excess patient load in the Premature Cen-
ter by allowing prematures of 2000 grams or more in birth weight to
be cared for in the Newborn Nursery on the tenth floor as one of
the possible solutions to this problem as mentioned in the annual
report for 1052-53. Although their report and recommendations were
not officially considered y the Committee on Premature Infant Care,
it seemed to be generally agreed that facilities and staffing of the
Newborn Nursery were not suitable to accept this extra burden of
small infants. The specific findings and suggestions of this Committee
for improvement of facilities and staffing in the Newborn Nurseries
were referred to the Medical Director of the Premature Center;
however, further consideration during this year was not possible.
III. SERVICE ACTIVITIES
A. Statistic*
The statistical data for presentation in this annual report will
be limited to a complete and accurate tabulation of total admis-
sions, survivals and survival rate for infants admitted to the Pre-
mature Unit due to the failure to maintain more detailed data for
punch card analysis resulting from personnel shortages and other
difficulties during this period. The first two tables have been
prepared in a form similar to that used in the last annual report
so that comparisons can be made. Table I deals with prematura
infants delivered at Charity Hospital. Table II is concerned with
premature infants born outside and admitted to this Unit. Table
III illustrates the comparative survival rates for this and the
previous fiscal year. Although it is readily apparent that a slightly
improved survival rate has resulted during this fiscal year, this
improvement is not statistically significant.
Of the total of 213 infants having a birth weight of less
than 1500 grams who were discharged in apparent good health
from this Center, our present records indicate that a total of ten
eyes among six children have been permanently blinded by re-
trolental fibrophalsia. This reflects an incidence of less than three
.■rit permanent blindness among our surviving infants in this
weight group.
In an attempt to more accurately define at least one of the
factors responsible for some of the personnel problems described
in the next section, Table IV has heen included to demonstrate
the progressive increase in the total numbers of newborns and
prematures cared for in the Premature Center and Newborn
Nurseries of Charity Hospital. It may be noted that this increase
has been occurring concomitantly with a variably diminishing
Staff of registered nurses and a necessary increase in the com-
plement of auxiliary workers.
144 CHARITY HOSPITAL — 1953-1954
B. Personnel
In view of the improved survival rates during this fiscal
year, as shown in the statistics, it may be surprising to note that
many people felt this to be a most difficult year in terms of morale
and adequacy of staffing. Of particular interest in this regard,
attention is called to the resignations as reported in the section
prepared by the Nursing Service Division. The following remarks
by Doctor Elaine Allen in her initial draft of this annual report
may be of interest: "The situation at present is less rosy than
at any time in my experience with this Unit. The immediate
problem is one of staffing, primarily, but the staffing problems
have their origins, I believe, in the concept of some that edu-
cational, nursing service and medical functions should not over-
lap, but should proceed independently of one another."
C. Report of Nursing Service Diviiion a* Related to Premature
Center
During the fiscal year 1,338 infants were admitted to the
Premature Infant Center. The daily average population of this
service was 101 patients. To give nursing care to these patier
the Nursing Service Department had in its employ one June 30.
1964, eighteen professional nurses and thirty-eight nurse ai<:
Additional employees included one Central Service Worker, one
Custodial Worker, one Typist^Clerk. During this fiscal period,
the following changes in the professional staff were effected.

Assistant Supervisor 1 2
Head Nurses 6 1
General Duty Nurses 4 G

Assistant Supervisor 1
Efforts were made to recruit professional nurse personnel
for the positions available in the division, with very little succ.
The total number of nurse personnel decreased from twenty to
eighteen, with most of the vacant positions in the head in:
group. Our inability to recruit a teaching supervisor for t
area still hinders the establishment of an adequate inservu-e
training program for personnel. The nur3e aide training pro-
gram for employees of the hospital in general does not apply to
the care of premature infants; however, professional and non-
professional personnel continue to receive individual orientation
and teaching in preparatoin for their positions.
In February 1954 the Director of Nursing Service and se-
lected personnel in the Premature Infant Center conducted a
study of head nurse activities. These activities were broken down
into area, duration and level of actvities in each of three nurs-
eries, the study not being considered applicable to the fourth
nursery. A summary of the findings indicated that head nurses
in the Premature Infant Center spent the largest portion of their
time on activities which fall within the staff nurse level, with the
head nurse, nurse aide, and clerical levels following in that order.
In the duration of activity, direct and indirect care accounted for
the largest portion of the head nurse's time, as well as for the
PREMATURE INFANT CARE CENTER 145
most frequent of all activities. The transfer of the Director of
Nursing Service shortly after this study, and the absence of a
supervisor in the division, prevented any further work along this
In May 1954 job specifications were revised for the f olio-w-
ine nursing personnel: Supervisor, Assistant Supervisor, Head
Nurse, Clinical Instructor and Instructor m Nursing Education
These revised forms were submitted for approval to the Children J
Bureau through the Louisiana State Department of Health. At
the close of the fiscal year, the revised forms had not yet been
returned to the Premature Infant Center by the Children s Bu-
reau.
Efforts are contining along the lines of recruitment of nurs-
ing personnel, inservice training, and general improvement in
nuTsing care, and it is hoped that the coming fiscal yeaT will show
improvement in each of these fields.
D. Report of Social Service Director
Service to Families
The social worker has continued to help the families^ with
their problems as much as possible. She has made a particular
effort to talk at least once with each mother who delivers at
Charity Hospital. Many of these mothers need nothing more than
some factual information about their babies plus some reassurance,
but there have been others who seemed to require more help.
For example, there was the fifteen year old mother who failed to
bring her babv back to the clinic although she had been told when
she took the baby home that the child had a cataract on one eye.
Money for transportation was sent to her but she did not think
that it was enough to allow for incidentals. Since this did not
seem to be a valid reason for her not coming to the clinic and
because she was very young, she was referred to the Department
of Public Welfare for guidance and supervision. She did not need
financial assistance because her husband worked. After several
months of working with this mother, the Department of Public
Welfare was successful in getting her to bring the baby back for
an eye examination, resulting in successful dissolution of the
problem.
Referral of occasional special cases to the local Family
Service Society has not been found to result in satisfactory
follow-up of th'ese cases. Further coordinated planning with this
Agency seems to be necessary prior to successful utilization of
their potential assistance.
Teaching
The social worker has continued to participate in the teach-
ing program for graduate nurses and Charity Hospital student
nurses as in previous years. There have been no drastic changes
in her activities in this area. For a period of time the social
worker met with groups of LSU medical students to discuss with
them the kinds of social problems found on the Premature Unit.

E. FACILITIES
Limited reorganization and remodeling of the tenth tl
Newborn Nurseries was accomplished in the fail of 1953; how-
ever, as pointed out above, standards in this nursery may still he
inadequate to care for prematures of 2000 grams and over. It
may be suggested that a restudy of this situation seems to be
indicated.
No new equipment was purchased during this year. AH
Isolette incubators in the Premature Nursery were compli-
overhauled and reconditioned.
F. PROCEDURES
No important new procedures were developed during t
fiscal year. The use of a commercially available detergent in n
producing devices for incubators was found to be quite damagi
to the incubators and, in addition, studies completed el-,
and reported in May 1954 indicated that this method of tro.it n
is apparently of no value in reducing morbidity or mortality ami
hence the procedure has been abandoned.
Copies of the Premature Nursery Medical Policies and Prt-
dure Book have been exhausted and in view of both changing
personnel and medical policies this document should be rewritl
in its entirety.
G. FORMULA ROOM
During the course of this Center's cooperation in a nation-
wide study on retrolental fibroplasia, it became necessary
standardize on a single evaporated milk formula for all babies
throughout their stay in the nursery. This was found to be h>
fu! in expediting formula preparation for this Unit. Only rank
was an occasional infant given an individual formula differ
than the one in routine use, which was one part of evaporn;
milk, two parts of water and six percent added earbonhydrate.
In April 1954 the Formula Room supervisor resigned and
was immediately replaced.
PREMATURE INFANT CARE CENTER 147
H, PARENT EDUCATION
Formal parent education to groups of parents of premature
infants has been abandoned in favor of individual guidance arid
instruction of the parents of each premature infant by nursing
service personnel at the time of discharge of the infant. All par-
ents are so instructed in a session lasting twenty to thirty minutes,
at which time formula preparation and bathing and other general
care procedures are discussed and demonstrated in detail.
IV. INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITIES
A. CLINICAL
Beginning in July 1953 this Center participated in a co-
operative nationwide project investigating the possibility of a
relationship between high oxygen concentrations and retrolental
fibroplasia. This project was sponsored by the Kresge Eye Insti-
tute of Detroit and the National Institute of Health. Our con-
tribution to this project was sponsored locally by the Southern
Eye Bank of New Orleans as a cooperative effort of the Depart-
ments of Pediatrics and Ophthalmology of both LSU and Tulane
Schools of Medicine. Throughout this fiscal year over one hundred
infants with birth weights under 1500 grams were included in
this study. Follow-up studies of these patients in the outpatient
department are still in progress and no report of results are as
yet available.
A member of the Department of Pediatrics at Tulane School
of Medicine carried out investigations to determine the survival
time of radioactivated gamma globulin. It is hoped that results
of this study will provide basic information as to the dosage and
time interval for administering gamma globulin to be of value
in reducing morbidity and mortality from infections in premature
infants. This study has been completed and results are now being
analyzed.
A study concerned with the "Serum Desoxyribonuelease Ac-
tivity in Premature and Term Infants" by Doctors Obrinsky,
Kurnisk and Fichter was completed under the auspices of the
LSU Department of Pediatrics, the Tulane Department of Medi-
ae and Charily Hospital. This study was read before the annual
meeting of the Society for Pediatric Research in Buck Hill Falls,
Pennsylvania. The study contributed concrete evidence of he-
patic immaturity in premature infants differing from that in
term infants or adults.
B. Publication*
The report of nursing service study in the Premature Infant
i Criter carried out under the auspices of the Louisiana State
Department of Health, Charity Hospital of New Orleans and
Tulane University, by the Urban Life Research Institute of
Tulane University, was published in a preliminary limited edition
and further distribution and dissemination of this collected in-
formation is awaiting administrative decision.
A paper entitled "Physiologic Hyperbilirubinemia in Pre-
mature Infants" by Doctors Obrinsky, Allen und Anderson was
published in the American .Journal of Diseases of Children, March
1954, based on serial bilirubin determinations dining the course
of hospital stay in twenty-seven premature and twelve term in-
fants carried out during the last fiscal year.

V. PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION
A. Medic.l
1. Visiting
Informal discussion and education was provided the many
frequent physicians who visited the Center. No formal post-
graduate course in premature care was offered to physicians.
Our most outstanding visitor during this fiscal year was Doctor
V. Mary Crosse, who spent considerable time in our
during November 1953. Through her discussions with both
medical and nursing staffs related to her experiences with
premature infants in England, she was quite helpful in im-
pressing upon our staff the seriousness of administration of
oxygen to premature infants.
The Medical Director of the Premature Center contri-
buted to the programs of the Tuiane Pediatries Departn
held annually for pediatricians.
2. Staff
Approximately twenty new pediatric residents and
interns were rotated through the Premature and Newborn
Service and received guidance and instruction from the nurs-
ing staff, Medical Director and the responsible pediatric serv-
ice, either LSU, Tuiane or Independent.
3. Undergraduate
The Medical Director of the Premature Center continued
to participate in lectures and demonstrations related^ to :
mature infants provided the junior and senior medical stu-
dents at both Tuiane and LSU Schools of Medicine.

CANCER REGISTRY 153
ANNUAL REPORT
THE CANCER REGISTRY
July 1, 1953 to June 30, 1954
Prior to this fiscal year, annual reports on the Cancer Registry were
included in the report from the Medical Social Service Department ana
referred to as the "Pol low-Up Program."
The year July 1, 1953 to June 30, 1954 was a very significant year
for the Cancer Registry in that many changes took place. The Registry
was converted and expanded into a Tumor Registry meeting the standards
and requirements as outlined by the Committee on Cancer, American Col-
lege of Surgeons. This was accomplished through the guidance and direc-
tion of a Cancer Registry Board, a Medical Consultant and a btatisticai
Consultant, the latter from the National Office of the American Cancer
Society in New York.
Administrative Relatiomhips:
Members of the Cancer Registry Board:
Dr. Edmund L. Leckert, Director, Charity Hospital of Louisiana
at New Orleans
Dr. Walter J. Burdette, Louisiana State University School of
Medicine
Dr. E. Krementz, Tulane University School of Medicine

Mrs. Constance Percy
Executive Secretary, Louisiana Division, American Cancer Society :
Mrs. Marian Simmons
Accomplishment*:
The Registry was moved from a small office on the eighth floor to a
larger space in the Clinic Waiting Room, first floor. The necessary equip-
ment such as keypunch and card sorter machines were secured. Additional
personnel were employed; two statistical research assistants and ten medl
cal students. The latter were employed on a temporary basis. Three visits
were made by Statistical Consultants from the New York Office for the
purpose of designing the forms, codes, procedures and training the persori-
llic Medical Consultant has assisted with medical problems beyond the
scope of the staff and the Chairman of the Cancer Registry Board with
administrative and policy problems. The medical records of cases of
malignant diseases diagnosed since January, 1948 have been abstracted,
coded and the information punched on cards. Informational follow-up is
being added to the records. The material has been made available to doc-

MEDICAL SOC IAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT 169
MEDICAL SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT
July 1, 1953 to June 30 t 1954
The principal function of this department is to help patients with
personal and family problems related to their illness. Such problems might
prevent the patient from receiving maximum benefit from medical treat-
ment and thus interfere with his recovery from illness, as for example,
the ulcer patient whose anxieties about his family are retarding his
recovery, or the diabetic patient who cannot afford to pay for insulin and
a special diet. Other problems for which patients need help are those which
are caused by the illness as in the case of the incapacitated patient who is
no longer able to support himself and his family, or the patient whose
emotional reaction to a crippling or disfiguring injury interferes with his
physical arid economic rehabilitation. The types of problems encountered
cover a wide range, varying from simple ones requiring only a minor
service, to very complicated ones whose solution requires a high degree
of professional skill. Services are given at the request of doctors, nurses,
Other hospital personnel, the patient or his family, interested individuals in
the community, or other social agencies.
During the year 1953-54 the social workers helped 149,047 patients
and their families, an increase of 17,554 over the previous year. Perma-
nent records were kept of 67,706 cases; unrecorded services were given
to 81,341. The latter were mainly cases in which only a minor service was
given, and in which it was not believed important to have a permanent
<i on file. However, also included in this group were some cases in
which a permanent record would have been valuable, but which the workers
were not able to write up because of pressure of time.
One type of service the social workers give consists in helping the
patient and his family understand his medical condition, its limitations,
and treatment recommendations, thus enabling him better to follow rec-
ommendations for treatment, and also to meet the problems of adjustment
•ing from the illness. Conversely, in many instances, the physician
iiiul other hospital personnel need to understand the patient as a person:
his attitudes and reaction, background, family patterns, resources and the
like. Such an understanding is difficult for the physician to acquire for
himself in a large public hospital, where large numbers of patients are
>'d. Interpretation of both types was given in 25,959 cases. Another
type of service given by the Social Service Department is to act as "Bison
between the hospital and other social agencies in the community. This
would involve referring patients to other agencies for help and inter-
preting to the agency the patient's medical needs, A total of 394G patients
referred for assistance to other social agencies such as the Denart-
mcnt of Public Welfare, Vocational Rehabilitation, Family Service Society,
Associated Catholic Charities, and Children's Bureau, In many instances,
nts already known to other social agencies present problems when
they come to the hospital for treatment. The other agency can help with
these problems when they understand the patient's medical needs, inter-
pretation of this kind was given in 26,021 cases.
Other services given included 403 chronically ill patiente referred for
care in their own homes, in nursing homes, institutions, and 144 cn, ' l!lcn
referred to child-placing agencies for adoption, foster care, or lnsmu-
lonalization.
Some of the patients' needs, such as medication and fI'P' ,m «*,*y
met through the use of funds which are available throw h »• B « P™ :
The amount available through these funds is small, and meets only a small
"0 CHARITY HOSPITAL— 1953-1954
percentage of the total need. The funds are the Insulin Fund ($500 a
month provided from hospital funds), the Patients Welfare Fund ($100
a month also provided from hospital funds), the Weil Convalescent Fund
($30 a month from interest on a sum which was bequeathed to the hospital
for use for medical relief for convalescent patients), and the St
Eastwiek Fund ($400 a month, also from interest from a bequest, which
is limited to the use of white patients). These funds, not including:
Insulin Fund, were used as follows: $5146.57 was spent for medicine for
2002 patients, $1871,01 for appliances for 211 patients, $901.01 for tr;-.
portation for 368 patients, and $607.45 for maintenance for 131 patients,
making a total of $8526.04 for 2712 patients. Figures for the Insulin
Fund are not included in the above, as records for this fund are k<
the Pharmacy and not in the Social Service Department. The amount
money spent for patients this year was $120.97 less than last year, a
107 fewer patients were given this type of assistance.
There are also funds made available to the department from sou;
outside of the hospital. These include $10 a month from the Social Just
Fund of Temple Sinai, glasses from the Lion's Club (no specified number!,
and $200 a month from the Tuberculosis Association for patient
tuberculosis who are being treated on an out-patient basis.
Following the resignation of the Director of the Social Service Depj
ment on May 3, 1954, an acting Director was appointed through ti
of the fiscal year. A permanent Director was appointed effective Julv
1, 1954.
Another function of this department is to determine eligibility
patients applying for treatment. Trained social workers are not used in
this unit, but the interviewers are supervised by one of the Social Ser\ >
supervisors. During the year a total of 26,553 patients were interview,
of whom 19,682 were found to be eligible, and 6871 ineligible. Of I
ineligible patients, 4845 were seen in the accident room, 1453 in the dim
and 573 in the wards.
Approximately 12% of the total number of patients applying for care
were interviewed. Cases are selected for investigation on the basis of
financial scale suggested by the Medical Society. Patients reporting in-
comes over this scale are interviewed and the decision regarding eli^r:
is made on an individual basis, taking into account the cost of the I
ment needed, past expenses for medical care and the like. The staff of
this unit consists of nine interviewers, which is not enough to handle
many investigations as should be done. Even though this unit is not
expected to do more than screen the more obviously ineligible patients,
it would operate more efficiently if the staff were enlarged, particularly
if a full time supervisor could be assigned.

ANNUAL REPORT
MEDICAL AND PATIENTS' LIBRARY
July 1, 1953 to June 30, 1954
There has been a few changes in the staff since the last report. Mrs.
June Nusaer, I.ihrarian, resigned on October 30, 1953. The position was
filled bv Mrs. Dawn Wilson on November 1, 1953. Mrs. Dawn Wilson
resigned on May 31, 1954 and Mrs. Lily E. Twining was assigned to the
ion. During the year there were twenty-four volunteers who helped
in the library on the wards. They worked a total of two hundred and
thirty-seven hours.
Reading Room Activities
The library attendance constantly shows an increase. Doctors, both
visiting and staff men, use the medical journals and medical books for
quick reference. The professional staff seem to derive a grant deal of
pleasure from relaxing with a book or just browsing. Many requests and
suggestions are welcomed and used pertaining to the library. Displays
are changed often to interest the staff in the different and new books in
library. Assistance is given to all readers who wish it.
Ward Activities
Ward rounds were covered daily by regular schedules of the staff
and volunteers. Volunteers are trained for their ward round before being
tent mu. Special attention is given by the volunteer or staff member to
interest a patient in a book or magazine so his morale can be improved.
All books are carefully read before being circulated on the wards. Patients
seem to appreciate the library service.
Manv gifts of pocket books, magazines and cloth bound books were
donated to the libra rv. They were given by clubs, churches, business
houses, and individuals. The professional staff donated many books in
the past year.
