When you arrive
Knock on the door of the ECG Department. As this is a one person department, it is possible that the ECG Technician could have been called to a Hospital Ward.
If there is no-one in the Department when you arrive, go to switchboard and ask to have the ECG technician paged, then wait on one of the seats in the corridor outside the Department.
More information
Pictured at the top of the page is the Holter Monitor. Purchase of this monitor was made possible by generous donations of the Berowra RSL Sub-branch....
The Holter Monitor allows us to see the heart functioning beat by beat. We use this on some patients in the
hospital. It can also be used in the patient's home overnight and returned the next day.
