Pre-operative management of care
Where children were managed pre-operatively
`Children who were acutely ill were managed pre-operatively in the Children's Hospital ... ill children who required open-heart surgery were transferred from the BCH to the BRI the previous evening or on the morning of the operation ... those children who were not unduly ill, and were at home, were called off the waiting list for elective surgery. They were admitted directly to the BCH for closed-heart operations and to the BRI for open-heart operations, about three days before the date of surgery.' [7]
