Redland Hospital Paediatrician Dr Shivanand Hebbandi has presented his research topic at the 7th Congress of the European Academy of Paediatric Societies in Paris.Dr Hebbandi said his research, ‘Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis in Non-Tertiary Neonatal Unit’ was conducted over six years from 2010 at Redland Hospital on all new born babies who were at risk of infection or showed signs of infection.

“The presentation was well received by the audience which included paediatricians not only from Europe but also from rest of the world.

“They were impressed with our very low infection rate in our babies and zero deaths due to infection.”

Dr Hebbandi said conclusions

drawn from the study included that the incidence of Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis at Redland Hospital was very low at 0.33 cases/1000 live births which compared to a national rate of 0.38 /1000 live births and Queensland rate of 0.32 /1000 live births.

He said other finding were a neonatal sepsis mortality rate of zero, median incubation time to true positive growth of bacteria of 9.65 hours and a recommendation to stop antibiotics at 24 hours in babies who remained clinically well and had negative culture.

“In the past I have presented my research papers at various international and national conferences based on research all conducted in Redland Hospital’s Paediatrics Department,” Dr Hebbandi said.

A picture tells a thousand words as the saying goes and photographs now displayed in Redland Hospital’s newly refurbished relatives room and viewing room are no exception.Director Allied Health Gail Gordon said in keeping with the Planetree principles of creating quiet, healing environments, the rooms had been transformed with the support of a wonderful new partnership with the Redlands Camera Club.

She said new soft furnishings and fittings in what would now be known as the Family Room were matched with beautiful images from across the Bayside and captured by members of the Redland Camera Club.

“The partnership with the Club involved members submitting a selection of photographs from the local area and from an initial collection of over 60 photographs, a small committee from the Club and Redland

Hospital selected 20 photographs which were printed and displayed in the hospital foyer to allow patients, visitors and staff to vote on their favourite photographs to hang in this special area.”

“There were over 100 votes received and with the assistance of Club President Maree Morrison the selected photographs where appropriately curated and mounted on canvas,” Gail said.

She said she hoped the space and the photographs would provide comfort for families of patients and those grieving the loss of a loved one.

Lyn Rankine said being able to display her photograph and help other people was a

humbling experience and the single best thing that had come from being involved with the club.

“This means more to me than any award that I’ve ever won,” she said.

Club President Maree Morris said it had been a joy to work on the project.

“We did a lot of soul searching about which photographs would be submitted and we carefully considered the images that would work in this space,” she said.

Lyn said all the photographs were taken in the local area with some scenes captured in the middle of winter with still waters, sunsets and reflections.

With 15 years between her first baby and brand new twins Archie and Ollie, Keiran Townsend says she nearly had a heart attack when she discovered she was going to have more than one baby.

“But it was a great surprise and we are looking forward to the journey ahead,” the Redland Bay mum said.

Born at 37 week and 1 day, little Archie and Ollie arrived only one minute apart in Redland Hospital’s Birth Suites on December 11 making an extra special early Christmas present for Keiran and partner Todd.

“They’re perfect,” Keiran said.

“They’re dad is just over the moon and my daughter is so happy.”

Archie and Ollie were two of 142 babies born at Redland Hospital in December.
