Children's Heart Surgery Fund

MRI Patient Monitoring System

The Children's Heart Surgery Fund support the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit as a world-class centre of excellence – by providing the funding and resources needed to care for a patient’s heart, mind, family and future.

We aim to raise the funds to purchase an MRI Patient Monitoring System for Leeds Congenital Heart Unit.

The old equipment is a very basic oxygen saturation monitor, that often falls off the baby's foot, meaning they need to be woken to reattach it.

This new equipment will give them the facility to fully monitor their babies throughout the entire time, and allow them to scan sicker babies that might need some oxygen or other breathing help.

The MRI safe monitoring device will allow them to not only monitor oxygen saturations, but also the heart beat and blood pressure from leaving the hospital ward, throughout transport and during the entire MRI scan.

Furthermore, they will also be able to monitor the temperature of both their inpatient and outpatient babies, especially the older babies who get very warm throughout the MRI scan and it can be difficult to judge how much to heat the incubator by.
