RE: Noenatal units without the Genedrive® MT-RNR1 ID Kit16 Dec 2024 14:26
I say again:-
Obviously can't check whether the babies won't have a bad reaction to the antibiotic possibly rendering the baby completely deaf. This simply must be a huge worry for the staff in those hospital units. Also, obviously it will be of huge concern to the parents. The Hospitals can choose to use the Genedrive® MT-RNR1 ID Kit but must finance the use as I understand it. Pretty obvious what is going to happen if you ask me.
- How can the managers of the neonatal units NOT act to remove the risk?
- When the next baby loses it's hearing (it will happen) because the Genedrive test was not available how will the doctors and nurses feel? How do you tell a parent their baby is deaf because this neonatal ward has not got a Genedrive® MT-RNR1 ID Kit, but other neonatal units elsewhere in the Country do?.
All IMHO..
